Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has hinted at a potential move from Everton for Norwich City defender Max Aarons this summer. Everton are in the market for a new right-back this summer, with reports linking them with numerous players in that position. It was suggested recently by the Liverpool Echo that Everton were interested in Manchester United right-back Diogo Dalot, with the Portuguese defender expected to be on a shortlist of options. In that report, they also suggested that moves for Aarons and Tariq Lamptey are being considered by Everton. With Mason Holgate often occupying the right-back role despite being a central defender, it is clear to see that Everton need a signing in that position this summer. Romano has now posted a cryptic update on Everton’s transfer plans this summe...
Arsenal have entered the race to sign highly-rated Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic during this summer’s transfer window, according to Calciomercato. The Gunners have experienced a poor league campaign, and they are presently languishing in the ninth spot, nine points adrift of the Champions League places. Regardless of how their season ends, the club are planning for a summer rebuild and there could be a change of personnel up front. The contracts of Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah expire in 15 months, and both players could head for the exit door. The north London giants will be eyeing reinforcements, and it is reported that they are monitoring Vlahovic’s progress in Florence. RB Leipzig, Atletico Madrid and Roma have also been credited with an interest, while Tottenham Hotspur ar...
Sergio Aguero will leave Manchester City at the end of the season, as confirmed via the club’s official website. Aguero joined Man City from Atletico Madrid in the summer transfer window of 2011 for a reported fee of £35 million. He became a hero at the Etihad Stadium in his debut season, helping the club to their first league title in 44 years with 23 goals – including the memorable injury-time winner against Queens Park Rangers on the final day. The Argentine continued to achieve incredible things at the Cityzens, winning three more Premier League titles and five League Cups and an FA Cup. In the process, he became the club’s all-time top goalscorer, sealing the feat with a strike in a 4-2 Champions League win against Napoli in November 2017. Aguero nets against Napoli to become City’s a...
Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo has claimed that Real Madrid are willing to sell six senior players as they look for the funds to sign young superstars Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. Mbappe has been a known target of Real Madrid for a while now. The 22-year-old burst onto the scene in the 2016/17 season with Monaco and has since gone on to score over 100 goals, including one in a World Cup final. Mbappe could break the world record transfer fee Haaland is also reportedly on Los Blancos’ radar. The Norwegian made his breakthrough at the start of the 2019/20 season with RB Salzburg and has continued to impress with Borussia Dortmund, scoring 34 league goals in 36 outings. Both players are expected to dominate the game for many years to come. As a result, they have become two of the most so...
Former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell believes the Gunners will snub the option to sign Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt this summer. The north London club were eyeing a back-up option for left-back Kieran Tierney in January after deciding to loan out Sead Kolasinac to Schalke 04. Van Aanholt was mentioned as a potential target before the deadline, but nothing materialised beyond the transfer speculation. The Dutchman’s current deal expires at the end of June and, as things stand, he will be available on a free transfer in a few months. It was recently suggested that Leeds United could rival the Gunners for the 30-year-old, but Campbell feels his former side may look for a younger option. He told Football Insider: “Van Aanholt could be a shrewd signing on a free, but I think the...

Everton are willing to sell defender Yerry Mina to fund a move for Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, according to Football Insider. The Toffees were linked with a move for Koulibaly last week, which came as a surprise to many Everton fans. With Yerry Mina, Michael Keane, Ben Godfrey and Mason Holgate in the squad, it made little sense for Everton to target a central defender. The Toffees will also have promising youngster Jarrad Branthwaite returning from his loan spell with Blackburn Rovers this summer. However, Football Insider now report that Yerry Mina could be sacrificed to sign Koulibaly due to his erratic nature. They claim that Carlo Ancelotti ‘admires Mina physically’ but privately believes he is ‘too erratic and error-prone for a top-tier side’. As a result, Everton coul...
Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are all interested in landing the signature of RB Leipzig captain Marcel Sabitzer this summer, BILD reports. Sabitzer has been with Leipzig for the past seven years and was part of the side which secured promotion to the German top-flight in 2016.

Bellerin has made 234 appearances for the north London side since his debut in 2013, but his future with the club is uncertain at the moment. His contract is due to expire in June next year and it has been reported that he has an agreement with manager Mikel Arteta to leave the club this summer.

He said: “Hector has been there for years. He started playing...
