      Newcastle star Allan Saint-Maximin wanted by AC Milan in summer transfer with chiefs ‘on the move’ for winger

      According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Milan are already “on the move” looking for Leao’s replacement.
      The Portuguese forward wants to stay in Milan, but there has been no progress in negotiations for a new contract.
      With the 23-year-old’s deal expiring in 2024, Milan could be forced into a sale – boosting Chelsea’s transfer hopes.
      Consequently, the Rossoneri have identified potential replacements.

      Saint-Maximin is joined on the list by Club Brugge’s Noa Lang.
      Milan enquired about Saint-Maximin last summer, with the Frenchman revealing his frustrations over exit talk in an interview last month.
      A hamstring injury at the end of August stunted a promising start to the season where he had scored once and assisted twice.
      Since returning to fitness the 25-year-old has found starting opportunities limited, partly due to Eddie Howe using Joelinton at left wing.

      However, he did start the Carabao Cup final and impressed against Manchester United’s Diogo Dalot.
      But the half-time introduction of Aaron Wan-Bissaka changed the complexion of the duel and kept the Frenchman more muzzled.
      Saint-Maximin joined the Magpies from Nice in 2019.
      He has scored 13 times and added 19 assists in 115 games, and was recently named as one of the Premier League’s best dribblers. More

      Man Utd confident of stunning Harry Kane transfer this summer after making contact with £200k-a-week Tottenham star

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED believe they will land Harry Kane this summer — if Tottenham finish outside the top four.Old Trafford chiefs reckon Spurs missing out on a Champions League place will see them lower their £100million asking price.

      United have made contact with Kane’s camp through a third party and have been encouraged by the response.
      Kane turns 30 in July — and has achieved his ambition of becoming Spurs’ all-time top scorer.
      While United were hammered 7-0 at Anfield on Sunday, there is still a belief that Kane has a better chance of finally winning a trophy at Old Trafford than at Tottenham.
      The England captain’s £200,000-a-week deal is up at the end of next season and failing to make the Champions League puts suitors in a better position to negotiate a lower fee.

      Kane said in January that there had “not been much talking” with Spurs over a new contract but he was “sure there will be conversations over the coming months”.
      Champions Manchester City are no longer in the running, having failed to land the striker in 2021.
      They have since signed Erling Haaland and the Norwegian has 27 Prem goals in the race for the Golden Boot.
      Kane has 18, with United’s Marcus Rashford on 14.

      The Red Devils need another goalscorer to drive them on to be title challengers next season.
      Cristiano Ronaldo left in November and now his on-loan replacement Wout Weghorst has just one goal from 14 appearances.
      Spurs are currently in fourth place but lost 1-0 at Wolves on Saturday — while resurgent Liverpool are just three points behind them with a game in hand.

      However, Osimhen is regarded as the key cog in the machine.
      And plenty of clubs are wondering how high they could soar with his goals next term.
      United and Chelsea are both thought to be in the race for Osimhen, who could fetch over £100million.

      But Osimhen has now opened the door to a Premier League switch by declaring he “dreams” of testing himself in England’s top flight.
      Osimhen said: “I think playing in one of the top five leagues in the world (Serie A) is an amazing feeling for me.
      “A lot of people worldwide consider the Premier League as the best and the strongest league but now I’m in one of the best leagues in the world which is the Italian Serie A.
      “I’m working so hard to make sure that I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League some day but like I said, it’s a process and I just want to keep on this momentum and continue to do well.”
      This sent fans of Man United and Chelsea into overdrive.
      A United supporter said: “We should not bottle this.”
      Another declared: “In the summer we’ll make your dream come true.”
      Meanwhile, a Chelsea fan noted: “We desperately want a No9 and have owners who will break the bank. Seems inevitable.”
      Another added: “United are a problem but we have agent Drogba.” More

      The Red Devils have been keeping tabs on De Jong since the summer when the midfielder’s former Ajax manager Erik ten Hag took over.
      Ten Hag wanted to build his midfield around his fellow Dutchman but the 25-year-old opted to stay at Barca and the Manchester giants turned to Casemiro.
      But United are still monitoring De Jong ahead of the summer transfer window and want to pair him up with the Real Madrid legend, who has stood out in the middle of the park.
      Recent reports suggested the Netherlands international is keen to reunite with Ten Hag and partner up with former rival Casemiro.

      However, those claims have just been denied with recent updates suggesting De Jong still prefers to stay at Barcelona.
      This poses as a fresh blow to United, who are still licking their wounds after their Liverpool thrashing.
      And some fans decided to pour some more salt on Twitter after hearing that De Jong’s situation remains unchanged.
      One user tweeted: “Make that 8-0.”

      According to Football London, Pablo Mari, who is currently on loan at Monza, poses as a highly likely candidate to depart from the Emirates.
      And the Gunners appear set for a £5.9million windfall from a possible deal involving Mari.
      An agreement is highly likely but talks will only take place if Monza avoid the drop.
      However, Raffaele Palladino’s side appear safe as they are currently 10th with 14 points separating them from the relegation zone.

      Therefore, Mari is among the Arsenal loanees that could command a transfer fee in the summer along with Nicolas Pepe, Folarin Balogun and Nuno Tavares, who currently play at Lille, Reims and Marseille respectively.
      The Spaniard was Arteta’s first ever signing back in January 2020 when he arrived on loan from Flamengo.
      The centre-back signed a permanent deal six months later but failed to break into the Spanish tactician’s line-up and was shipped out on loan at Udinese in January 2022.
      The 29-year-old stayed at the Stadio Friuli for six months and was then loaned out to Monza where he has since been going from strength to strength.

      Mari hit the ground running upon his arrival at the Stadio Brianteo in August.
      The defender’s momentum was cut short in October when he fell victim to a deadly knife attack in a supermarket near Milan that left one dead and five others injured.
      The ex-Manchester City player underwent surgery and had two muscles repaired.
      But Mari returned to action less than two months later after the incident and has since continued to impress in Palladino’s backline. More

      He was one of the standout performers in Qatar, helping his country to reach the semi-finals for a second successive time.
      And his impressive displays saw Chelsea eye up a £45million move.
      However, they ended up landing Monaco man Benoit Badiashile for £35m and could now miss out on Gvardiol altogether.
      According to The Star, Man City are lining him up as a replacement for Aymeric Laporte.

      Spaniard Laporte, 28, is being linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season.
