Chelsea closing in on signing Willian
Chelsea have been linked with a move for 17-year-old Palmeiras winger Estevao Willian in the last few months. According to a report from Goal Brasil , Chelsea are now closing in on signing Estevao Willian. But they will face competition from Arsenal, Barcelona and Real Madrid. The Blues are preparing a fresh offer to sign the 17-year-old, and a deal of around €75 million could be sealed soon. Estevao Willian is highly regarded across Europe , and he has a big future ahead of him. It is no surprise that clubs like Arsenal, Barcelona and Real Madrid are keen on him. Arsenal need more depth in the wide areas and the 17- year-old would be a long-term prospect. They could help the South American develop into a key player for the club.
Arsenal make contact with Bruno Guimaraes
Arsenal and Manchester City have made contact with the camp of Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes over a potential transfer. That’s according to transfer news expert Ben Jacobs , who says Guimaraes is attracting interest and has a £100million release clause for part of the summer, but not all of it. Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his latest Daily Briefing column, Jacobs discussed the situation at Newcastle this summer, with a long list of potential ins and outs at St James’ Park. Arsenal could do with a top signing in midfield as Thomas Partey has struggled with injuries in recent times, while Granit Xhaka was never really replaced since his exit last summer.
Lunin agree deal with Real Madrid
Andriy Lunin has agreed to sign a new contract with Real Madrid that will last until June 30, 2029, although a summer exit is still possible. According to a report by Spanish journalists Manuel Amor and Alfredo Matilla, Andriy Lunin will sign a new contract with Real Madrid in the coming days, with the deal lasting until June 30, 2029. However, the newly-crowned La Liga champions are not ruling out a summer departure for the resurgent 25-year-old goalkeeper.
San Diego FC eyeing move for De Bruyne
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has been linked with a summer move away from the Premier League club. According to HITC , incoming MLS club San Diego FC are plotting an audacious move for Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne. The Premier League champions will not want to sell a player of his calibre anytime soon, and it remains to be seen how the MLS club convince them. The Belgian midfielder arrived at Manchester City for a fee of around £54 million , and he has proven to be one of their best signings in the modern era. The veteran playmaker has been exceptional for the Premier League champions, and he has helped them win every major trophy at the club so far.
