TRENDING RUMORS
- Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann intends to see out his contract at the club, reports Mundo Deportivo. The 34-year-old has been linked with a potential switch to MLS in the next transfer window amid interest from LAFC, but the latest indicates that he plans to remain at the Wanda Metropolitano for one more season, with belief that interest from clubs in the United States will still be there in the summer of 2026. He has scored 16 goals while assisting another seven in 42 matches across all competitions this season.
- AC Milan could offload winger Rafael Leão in the summer, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. It is reported that failure to qualify for the Champions League could force the Rossoneri's hierarchy to move on several key players, with uncertainty also surrounding the futures of goalkeeper Mike Maignan and left-back Theo Hernández. Leao, 25, has contributed to 13 goals in 28 Serie A games so far this season, and he has previously been linked with Barcelona.
- Two Clubs in Europe are interested in Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur, reports TEAMtalk. Both Atletico Madrid and AC Milan are reported to be keen on the 27-year-old, and it is believed that Spurs are set to ward off other teams by opening formal talks over a new contract. Bentancur's current deal is set to expire in the summer of 2026.
- Everton are exploring a move for Burnley centre-back Maxime Estève, according to Foot Mercato. It is said that the 22-year-old is seen as a potential replacement should Jarrad Branthwaite leave the club in the summer, though the Toffees could face competition for his signature from West Ham, who have also made an enquiry regarding a deal. Esteve has been one of the standout performers in the Championship this season, starting all 38 matches for the Clarets.
- A move for AC Milan midfielder Alexis Saelemaekers is under consideration by Nottingham Forest, according to Calciomercato. Interest from the Premier League club is believed to have resurfaced after they kept tabs on the 25-year-old last summer, and they are said to see him as an ideal reinforcement amid their hopes of qualifying to next season's Champions League. The Tricky Trees are currently third on 54 points in the league table, with a six-point lead over fifth-placed Manchester City.
