      The German returned to management this month at Bayern Munich and Havertz revealed it would be difficult to turn down the German giants if they made an approach.
      Havertz, 23, told Sport Bild: “Bayern are generally a huge club that it’s hard to say no to as a German player, but my personal goal has always been to play abroad at some point. In England or Spain. ”
      And Havertz could not rule out reuniting with his former manager Tuchel.
      The forward added: “I had a very good relationship with him and am very grateful for everything.

      Onana, 26, joined Inter on a free transfer from Ajax last summer.
      The former Cameroon international, who was sent home from the World Cup for disciplinary reasons, has made 28 appearances in all competitions after battling Inter icon Samir Handanovic for the No1 jersey.
      But Onana could soon be on the move to England, with Gazzetta dello Sport claiming Chelsea and United are interested.
      The Blues are ready to sell Edouard Mendy this summer, and still harbour some doubts over Kepa Arrizabalaga’s capabilities as first-choice goalie.

      As for United, they could lose David De Gea on a free transfer as both parties struggle to agree a new deal.
      And Inter are thought to want £35million to sell Onana, who had an on-field fight with teammate Edin Dzeko last month.
      However, Chelsea are ready to offer up several stars in exchange for a cheaper fee.
      Romelu Lukaku is already at Inter on loan, and the Blues could pave the way for a second season by landing Onana.

      Inter have also shown concrete interest in Trevoh Chalobah, who has dropped down the rankings under Graham Potter.
      And the Italians also fancy the look of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang — ideally on a free transfer.
      As a result, Chelsea are said to be edging United in the Onana race.
      But the stopper played under Erik ten Hag at Ajax.
      And that could sway things in United’s favour should they make a formal approach. More

      Fuming Chelsea ‘looking to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Inter Milan’ in ‘anti-Barcelona’ transfer

      by

      CHELSEA are reportedly plotting to offload Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Inter Milan and in doing so blocking a return to Barcelona. The striker is out of favour at Stamford Bridge after his summer transfer unravelled within months of his arrival.

      Reports in recent days have indicated that the 33-year-old is keen on moving back to Barcelona after his brief but successful spell at the Nou Camp last year.
      But Fichajes report that Chelsea have “anger” towards Aubameyang for flirting with Barcelona and are unhappy over the “disaster” that the signing has become.
      The outlet adds that Inter Milan are interested in the star but he is holding out while the option of Barca remains possible.
      The Catalan club are reported to still be keen on him after his stunning mid-season impact last year when he scored 11 goals in 17 league games.

      The former Gabon international was in Spain before the international break as he joined former teammates to openly celebrate Barcelona’s crucial El Clasico win over Real Madrid earlier this month.
      It was the latest sign of the breakdown in relationship between the player and the club.
      Aubameyang’s Blues career had initially shown promise as he scored a blinding goal away at Crystal Palace and netted in both Champions League group stage games against AC Milan.
      But the forward fell rapidly from the pecking order despite goalscoring being a consistent issue for Graham Potter’s side.

      And he has been linked with a host of Europe’s top clubs including Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United.

      But Lilywhites supporters do not believe Mount – who has 36 international caps – would consider a move across the city to Chelsea’s London rivals.
      Reacting on social media, one person said: “As if he’d come here 😂.”
      Another replied: “Like that is ever going to happen.”
      A third simply responded: “Complete non-starter.”

      And a fourth pointed out: “Can get [James] Maddison for less money and wages.”
      Mount, a product of Chelsea’s academy system, has contributed 33 goals and 37 assists in 192 games for the club.
      But just nine goal contributions in 32 matches this season have called into question his importance to the Blues moving forward.
      Bayern are emerging as an option for the Englishman, particularly after hiring Thomas Tuchel as their head coach – a manager Mount thrived under and won the Champions League with in West London.
      And it could work out for the German champions as Chelsea may well prefer to sell him to a foreign club rather than an English rival.
      But a Premier League move is also a possibility, with Liverpool thought to be leading the race among the domestic clubs.
      Jurgen Klopp is keen to re-energise his midfield in the summer as Jordan Henderson and Thiago move deeper into their 30s. More

      Despite only agreeing a professional contract in October, the Seagulls are now preparing fresh terms to ward off any interest.
      Ferguson’s form since making the step up to the first team has caught the eye of the Premier League’s big clubs.
      Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea all tried to nab Ferguson ahead of Brighton when he made the move over from Bohemians in Ireland two years ago.

      Tottenham have also been linked with a move for the Republic of Ireland international, who scored on his first start for Stephen Kelly’s side against Latvia last week.
      Despite the interest, Ferguson is keen to continue his growth at The Amex following a flying start under Italian boss Roberto De Zerbi, who has been full of praise for the young striker.

      Earlier this month, De Zerbi said: “He is unique for us in terms of quality, in terms of characteristic.
      “He knows very well the way to score. I think he can and he has to improve, in the quality of play, in ball possession, to keep the ball better.

      “But he is 18 and he will improve for sure, because I know the guy, I know his passion, his attitude. I have no doubt.”
      Ferguson would be the latest in a host of Brighton stars to commit to new deals this season.
      Moises Caicedo, Solly March, Alexis Mac Allister and Adam Lallana have all agreed contract extensions since De Zerbi’s arrival last year.
      And Japan international Kaoru Mitoma could soon be due one as well. More

      Spanish newspaper AS claim Real Madrid will not fork out more than £88million for Bellingham.
      The La Liga giants are adamant that they will not overpay for the 19-year-old.
      It’s thought Real hope to persuade Bellingham to snub a Premier League move and tempt him to the Bernabeu thanks to the club’s “legendary history”.
      But Real are refusing to enter a bidding war for Bellingham – on both the transfer fee and his salary.

      The club know any potential fee is in the same sort of ballpark as what they would have to pay for a striker.
      Karim Benzema is 35-years-old and Real know buying a new goalscorer in the near future will not be cheap, meaning they do not want to overpay for Bellingham.
      Liverpool and City are reported to be the two front runners for his signature.
      Borussia Dortmund are also hopeful of keeping Bellingham for another season, and reportedly plan on offering him a contract extension with a mammoth pay rise and release clause for 2024.

      Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke are said to be good friends.

      Arsenal ‘confident they will win Declan Rice transfer race thanks to Mikel Arteta despite Man Utd and Chelsea interest’

      by

      ARSENAL are growing in confidence they can win the race to land their number one target Declan Rice this summer, according to reports.The West Ham captain is also attracting interest from Premier League giants Chelsea and Manchester United.
      Rice is widely expected to leave West Ham this summer with plenty of interest in his signatureCredit: Rex
      The Gunners have had a superb season so far and sit top of the Premier League eight points clear of nearest rivals Manchester City.
      The club’s owners are ready to back Arteta in the transfer market as they look to build on the progress made this season.
      According to the Evening Standard they are confident of winning the battle for Rice.
      Rice, 24, is viewed as an ideal acquisition and fits the north Londoner’s recruitment model.
      READ MORE ON ARSENAL
      The England international harbours ambitions to play in the Champions league, win trophies and has his best years ahead of him.
      There’s an acceptance within West Ham that their star man will leave this summer when he will only have one year left on his contract.
      Arsenal tried to sign a midfielder in January with Rice considered but they opted for Brighton’s Moises Caicedo, having two bids rejected.
      Mikel Arteta’s side will be hoping they can add to their pulling power by being able to offer Champions League football instantly and point to the Spaniard’s record of developing young players.

      Chelsea have been long term admirers of Rice and released him as a 14 year old from their academy.
      The West Ham man also has a very close friendship with Mason Mount but the uncertainty over Mount’s future coupled with the fact Chelsea are unlikely to be playing Champion’s League football next season doesn’t help their cause.
      Interest from the Manchester clubs would further add to the competition for Rice’s signature with United having scouted him and City expected to be in the market for a midfielder this summer.
      The Hammers will be hoping the strong interest in Rice enables them to maximise the fee they can get for the midfielder but will struggle to get near the £150million they have asked for in the past. More
