Arsenal eyeing move for Milos Kerkez
Arsenal are reportedly keeping a close eye on Bournemouth and Hungary left-back Milos Kerkez, who has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United this summer. HITC claim that the Gunners, alongside Chelsea and Manchester City , have been scouting Kerkez after some impressive displays on the south coast. He was also appreciated at former club AZ, though Bournemouth have slapped a £40million price tag on their star defender.
Chelsea hold talks to sign Jonathan David
Chelsea have reportedly held talks with the representatives of Lille star Jonathan David. Enzo Maresca is keen to bolster his forward ranks this summer after being snubbed by Michael Olise, and the Blues have turned their attention to alternative options. According to The Athletic , Chelsea have spoken with David’s representatives to explore the possibility of a deal – though contact has not been made with Lille at this stage. The Blues feel that their BlueCo ownership of Strasbourg could give them a boost in negotiations with Lille though if they opt to push forward with their pursuit.
Bayern identify Calhanoglu as Palhinha's replacement
Bayern are considering making a move for Inter and Turkey star Hakan Calhanoglu in the summer, if they fail to land Palhinha from Fulham, according to Rudy Galetti. The Bundesliga side are ready to offer €25m plus €5m in add-ons, however, the Serie A giants are demanding €40m.
Liverpool eye free Thiago replacement
Thiago's departure has opened up a gap in Liverpool 's midfield, albeit the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich star rarely featured last season. And SportItalia claim that Juventus' Adrien Rabiot is being monitored by the Reds at Euro 2024 as a potential replacement this summer. Rabiot's contract expires at the end of the month and although an offer from Juventus is on the table, the Frenchman is yet to sign on the dotted line. Should the 29-year-old turn down a stay in Turin, Liverpool could step up their interest after another impressive display in France's 0-0 draw with Holland last night.
