EPL Transfer Rumours Round-Up

Let’s face it, football would not be as enjoyable without the constant talks of players moving around like tokens on a Monopoly board. And since the Premier League is the richest division, there’s always a lot going on.

So who is supposed to be moving? When? Where? And why?

According to the Evening Standard, Arsenal have opened talks regarding a contract extension with defender Gabriel Magalhaes based on his impressive performances this season. His current contract runs until 2027.

GiveMeSport reports that Tottenham are preparing a bid of around £45 million for Brentford striker Ivan Toney this upcoming summer.

Manchester United are open to the idea of Raphael Varane exiting the club when his contract expires this summer. This is due to the high wages that he currently earns at Old Trafford. (Mirror)

In other Manchester United news, ESPN tells us that Christian Eriksen is also on his way out, with several Turkish teams interested in the midfielder.

Fichajes informs that, on top of Barcelona, midfielder Bernardo Silva is also of interest to Real Madrid, who are willing to pay the €50 million release clause in his contract with Manchester City.

Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is attracting interest from Barcelona. Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo states that Liverpool officials are “losing patience” with his performances this season.

But it seems that Liverpool are looking for defensive reinforcements, if the latest report from TBR Football is to be believed. The Reds have let Chelsea know that, if the Londoners need to sell players to avoid breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules, they are willing to take Levi Colwill to Anfield.

After the INEOS-powered partial takeover of Manchester United, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been in contact with ‘super agent’ Jorge Mendes in order to reshape the club’s transfer strategy. The Portuguese represents Joao Neves and Rafael Leao, among other highly regarded young players. (Mirror)

The Star reports that, after a failed transfer attempt last year, Bayern Munich hope to convince Manchester City’s Kyle Walker to join them this summer.

Going back to Mirror, we find out that incoming Liverpool head coach Arne Slot wants to ensure that Virgil van Dijk stays at the club for the foreseeable future, amid interest from Borussia Dortmund.

Pete O’Rourke tells us that Manchester United target Jarrad Branthwaite might need to be sold by Everton before June 30, 2024. The reason for this urgency lies with the Toffees, who would need to sanction a sale for about £60-70 million to avoid further penalties for financial mismanagement.

Lastly, Tottenham have met with the agent of Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Giorgi Sudakov to discuss the possibility of a transfer. After signing a new contract with the Ukrainian outfit, Sudakov’s release clause is understood to be a whopping £127.7 million. (Mirror)
