Fabrizio Romano claims Mane’s move to Bayern is closer than ever before.
That’s because the Senegal star has struck terms on a lucrative three-year contract.
Mane has made it clear to Liverpool that he wants to quit the club this summer.
And Jurgen Klopp has already moved to ensure he has a replacement after spending a potential club record £85million on Benfica’s Darwin Nunez.

sign Juventus contract IN JULY, Real Madrid in £78m Bellingham bid
However, Bayern are yet to meet Liverpool’s asking price for Mane, reportedly around £42m.
They have already failed with two offers for the forward.
And it’s reckoned Bayern’s next bid will be £35m, which they believe will be enough to land 30-year-old Mane – who is in the final year of his Anfield contract.
Mane is now pushing hard to complete his Bavarian move as soon as possible.

“Why? Because it is all this problem that awaits us for the World Cup which is in November.
“And I tell my boys to try to settle the contract problems so that when their respective championships resume, they will have already found a base. I heard about Sadio at Bayern.
“Bayern is intensity, pressure football with a German coach. Sadio played in Salzburg in Austria which is a border country, and that means he is not going into unknown territory.
“For me, the club where he will feel the best is Bayern.” More

by Philippa Kaur 14 June 2022, 22:05

And Tottenham are close to making a big statement as they have agreed a £25m fee for Brighton’s in-demand midfielder Yves Bissouma, according to reports.

Klopp issues Nunez warning
Jurgen Klopp has urged Liverpool fans to be patient with Darwin Nunez who’s not the finished article yet.
He said: “It’s important we all recognise we are getting a ‘work in progress’ with Darwin.
“He recognises that himself, for sure. I love how much focus and humility he has.
“We have wonderful attacking options already and he becomes part of that now.
“So there is no pressure on him at all. He signs for a very long time and we intend to nurture his talent and see it grow.”
Pogba to Juventus nears completion
Paul Pogba is on the brink of completing his switch to Juventus.
The France ace has nearly agreed a contract with Juve, with a few minor details to be sorted, according to Fabrizio Romano.
He’s set to receive £6.9m plus add-ons every season he spends in Turin, the report adds.
Ring the Bell
Real Madrid are reportedly eyeing up a sensational £78million swoop for Borussia Dortmund and England midfielder Jude Bellingham.
The 18-year-old international, who is under contract until 2025, has been heavily linked with a move to both Liverpool and Manchester United – with Jurgen Klopp’s side reportedly making a formal offer.
However, Spanish and European champions Real Madrid could well steal the teenager away from the Premier League sides.
According to Cadena Ser, Los Blancos are keen to sign the Dortmund man in the summer of 2023.
That is because by the end of next season they are confident Vinicius Junior will have a Spanish passport – freeing up a non-EU place in their squad.
Carson extends City stay
Man City fans are celebrating transfer news once again after Scott Carson extended his stay at the club.
The goalkeeper, 36, has signed a new one-year deal a day after Erling Haaland’s arrival was announced by the club.
Pep Guardiola approved the extension for Carson who signed for the Spaniard in 2019.
He has made just two appearances for the Citizens but has still achieved cult hero status at the club.
Carson likely gained popularity for his celebrations after City’s title victory, as well as his bravery in calling out Atletico Madrid’s Sime Vrsaljko for a fight.
Alexander-Arnold welcomes Nunez
Trent Alexander-Arnold has welcomed Darwin Nunez to Liverpool.
The full-back has built a reputation as an assist king at Anfield.
And Alexander-Arnold let Nunez know that he’s here to serve him next season in a cheeky Twitter message.
The England international quipped to Nunez: “Welcome to Liverpool!@Darwinn99 How may I assist you?”
Mum’s the word
Paulo Dybala’s mum played a key role in his transfer to Inter Milan.
The ex-Juventus striker was being chased by Man United and Arsenal. but his mum’s influence prompted him to join Inter, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
Dybala is reportedly set to put pen to paper on a four-year contract worth £5million a year.
The deal will be completed soon after the player revealed his mother Alicia is “very present in his life and sports choices”.
Pogba set for Juventus transfer
Paul Pogba has reportedly agreed to join Juventus this summer.
The last bits of the deal have been sorted, and the Frenchman is set to move to Turin in July, according to Goal.
Pogba is leaving Man United on a free transfer.
He was also linked with a move to PSG and Real Madrid.
Chelsea eye Lazio keeper
Chelsea are reportedly eyeing a transfer swoop for Lazio keeper Thomas Strakosha.
Strakosha is available on a free transfer.
And the Blues are considering him as a viable option to replace No.1 goalie Kepa if he decides to leave Stamford Bridge, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Blues are also poised to sign 18-year-old stopper Gabriel Slonina from Chicago Fire.
But the Blues see him as one for the future, and plan to loan him back to the MLS side, the report adds.
Kounde deal hangs in balance
Jules Kounde’s dream move to Chelsea has been rocked by an injury storm.
The £70million-rated Sevilla defender underwent surgery on Tuesday on an old pelvic problem which flared up on international duty on Monday.
Kounde fears that although the op is minor it could still affect his chances of securing a big-money transfer to the Prem this summer.
And Sevilla are privately fuming that Kounde opted to play for France against Croatia in the Nations League, while carrying the knock and risking the deal.
Tchouameni on Mbappe
Aurelien Tchouameni has explained that he risked the wrath of Kylian Mbappe by joining Real Madrid instead of PSG.
Tchoumaeni revealed France compatriot Mbappe was hoping that he’d join him at PSG this summer, after the striker committed his future to the Ligue 1 side.
But there’s no bad blood between the pair, despite Tchouameni’s transfer decision to head to Madrid from Monaco.
He said: “Kylian [Mbappé] stayed at Paris Saint-Germain; he knew that I was going to go from Monaco at the end of the season and he wanted to see if maybe I would go to PSG.
“But my first decision was always Real Madrid, and he respects that.”
Nunez speaks
Darwin Nunez has opened up on why he chose to join Liverpool over Man United.
He said: “You can then imagine yourself winning more trophies and then later on when you come here again and see the trophies on display, you can say, ‘Look, I was a part of that, I was there at that time, winning trophies.’
“That’s one of the reasons why I came here to Liverpool – to win trophies and titles. I want to win a lot of trophies at Liverpool.”
Nunez handed shirt number
Darwin Nunez has been handed his shirt number after completing his transfer to Liverpool.
The Reds signed the Uruguayan for £85million from Benfica today.
Man United were also keen on Nunez, but he opted to join Jurgen Klopp’s Reds revolution.
And he’ll be donning the No.27 shirt for the Reds next season, the club confirmed on Twitter.
Liverpool confirm Nunez transfer
Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Benfica striker Darwin Nunez for a club-record fee of £85million.
Nunez told Liverpool’s website: “I’m really happy and delighted to be here at Liverpool. It’s a massive club.
“I’d like to thank my partner and my parents and my son, who is a real source of pride for me. They’ve been really important to me in the stages in my career.
“I’m really proud of them, and for the work we do, me and my partner, as a team and I’m grateful to her that I’m here.
“It’s a pleasure to be here in Liverpool and I’m very happy to be a part of this great club.
“I’ve played against Liverpool and I’ve seen them in lots of games in the Champions League, and it’s my style of play. There are some great players here and I think it’s going to suit my style of play here.
“As I say, I’ve watched quite a lot and it’s a very big club and I hope I can give everything that I’ve got in order to help the team.”
Arsenal optimistic over Tielemans transfer
Arsenal are hopeful they can seal a deal for Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans before the end of the month, according to reports.
Journalist Ben Jacobs said: “Arsenal remain confident and on course to sign Youri Tielemans before the month is out.
“Interest from Tottenham was never too advanced. But Bissouma’s incoming arrival will allay fears Spurs could hijack the deal.
“Tielemans is one of Arteta’s top priorities.”
Matic speaks on Mourinho
Nemanja Matic has revealed that he’s joined Jose Mourinho as the Roma boss is a winner.
Matic said: “It’s not only easy to work with him, it can be hard! But he’s a winner and he’s exactly what I want from my coach and exactly what I like to do in my career is to win.
“He’s a winner, he transmits that energy to the players. I hope we can do big things together.”
Chiellini confirms LAFC switch
Giorgio Chiellini has confirmed his expected move to MLS side Los Angeles FC.
The Italy legend, 37, tweeted a short video of himself wearing an LAFC-branded top and cap along with the words, ‘The Next Chapter’.
The announcement comes after the defender’s glittering 18 years with Juventus came to an end this summer.
Chiellini also posted a separate photograph of himself standing on LA’s iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame.
On that tweet, he wrote: “I felt very strongly about this new chapter in my career and I’m grateful to LAFC for this opportunity.
“I’m thankful for all my years with Juventus and I’m looking forward to winning many more trophies in Los Angeles.”
Mane ‘agrees’ Bayern deal
Sadio Mane has agreed to a three-year deal with Bayern Munich as the Germans are set to submit an improved transfer offer to Liverpool, it has been claimed.
The main interest in his services have come from German champions Bayern Munich, who have submitted two bids for him already.
However, a fresh report from Bild indicates Mane has agreed a three-year deal with the Bavarians and the club will submit a new and improved offer of £34.6million.
Richarlison eyes London move
Everton striker Richarlison is keen on signing for Chelsea or Tottenham, according to reports.
Real Madrid are also keen on the Brazilian, but he’s wary of joining the La Liga giants, according to uol Sport.
That’s because he’s eyeing a spot in Brazil’s World Cup team, and isn’t sure if he will play regularly for Real next season.
But he’s keen on leaving Everton this summer, and wouldn’t a move to London to link up with Spurs or the Blues, the report adds.
Dybala to Inter Milan confirmed
Paulo Dybala has signed for Inter Milan, according to reports.
The ex-Juventus striker has agreed a four-year contract with Inter, journalist Cesar Luis Merlo reported.
There’s a minor detail that needs sorting before he takes his medical, the report adds.
The news will come as huge blow for Arsenal and Man United who have been tracking Dybala.
Raphinha transfer race heats up
Arsenal and Tottenham have both joined the race to sign Leeds star Raphinha, according to reports.
But according to The Athletic, there are now concerns the Catalan giants may not be able to fund a deal for the tricky forward.
Barcelona have debts totalling more than £1billion and are operating under tight financial constraints.
That could open the door for Arsenal and Tottenham to steal Raphinha from under the nose of Xavi.
Nunez’s Man United snub discussed
Darwin Nunez’s decision to join Liverpool over Man IUnited shows the Red Devils’ decline, according to Luke Chadwick.
He told Caught Offside: “It shows where United are at this moment in time, sadly.
“If you’re a player coming from overseas at this moment in time, unfortunately, Liverpool are a more attractive proposition.
“Nunez has shown he’s got to the potential to be a really successful Premier League player, so it’s a disappointment for United to miss out.
“But it’s not surprising at all really, considering the direction Liverpool are going in, in comparison to United.”
Man United make Eriksen offer
Man United have made an offer to sign Christian Eriksen, according to reports.
The midfielder, 30, is available on a free at the end of the month with his Brentford contract expiring.
And now United are looking to take advantage of his contract situation by offering the Danish international a deal, report The Athletic.
But it seems the Red Devils are not the only club interested in snatching Eriksen away from Brentford.
Tottenham are reportedly keen to lure Eriksen back to north London and can offer him the added incentive of Champions League football.
Matic completes Roma transfer
Roma have competed the signing of Nemanja Matic on a free transfer from Manchester United.
Matic, 33, has penned a one-year deal that will expire in June 2023.
During his first interview with the club he hinted that he made the switch in order to reunite with Jose Mourinho, who lured him to Old Trafford in 2017.
He said: “I am pleased and honoured to be joining this club and I cannot wait to start the new season with my teammates.
“Roma is a big club, with amazing fans and a coach, Jose Mourinho, who is well known to everyone – making the decision to come here very straightforward.
“I hope that by working together we are able to achieve some great things.”
Hammers to sign Areola permanently
West Ham United are expected to exercise the option to sign goalkeeper Alphonse Areola from Paris-Saint Germain following his year on loan at the London Stadium.
That’s the understanding of Sky Sports’ Dharmesh Sheth, who reports that talks are ongoing with the player’s representatives regarding personal terms.
The 29-year-old – previously at Fulham – played second fiddle to Lukasz Fabianski for much of last season, but was considered the Hammers’ number one for cup competitions.
And should Areola agree to a permanent deal – thought to be in the region of £11m – then it is expected that the French international will also take the gloves for Premier League games in the future.
Breaking: Roma confirm Matic signing
Serie A side Roma have confirmed the signing of Nemanja Matic on a free transfer.
The Serbian joins the Italians following the expiry of his contract at Manchester United.
During his five years at Old Trafford, Matic made 189 appearances for the Red Devils.
The 33-year-old has penned a 12-month deal with the option of a further year as he links up with Jose Mourinho for the third time in his career.

Jesus ‘wants Arsenal transfer’
Gabriel Jesus wants to join Arsenal in a switch from Man City this summer.
That’s according to Kevin Campbell who said: “Jesus can go and play Champions League football.
“But he wants to come to Arsenal, one because he knows the manager, two because he knows the system and three, which is the most important thing, he wants to be the main man.”
Wolves fume over Marquinhos deal
Wolves have reportedly taken legal advice after Marquinhos signed for Arsenal.
The Athletic claim the deal was so far down the line that they a loan to Molineux from Sao Paulo had already been agreed for next season.
But instead, he will join Arsenal on their pre-season tour before Mikel Arteta decides whether to loan him out.
Gunners Sporting director Edu said of Marquinhos: “We’re delighted to have completed the transfer with Sao Paulo, as Marquinhos was a player we had been watching for a while.
“At 19, he is still very young, so he is a player for the future.
“We look forward to Marquinhos now joining us for pre-season, making his new home, and continuing to grow and develop with us.”
Arsenal’s Marquinhos transfer discussed
Arsenal have signed Marquinhos as a future star who can be the next Gabriel Martinelli.
That’s the opinion of talkSPORT host Simon Jordan, who said: “So Arsenal are buying this one, much more on promise, than reality.
“He is not a player that is going to solve Arsenal’s problems immediately, but for the long-term.
“If he lives up to Gabriel Martinelli – it will be a shrewd piece of business.”
Torreira bids farewell to Fiorentina
Arsenal ace Lucas Torreira has bid farewell to Fiorentina where he was on loan last season.
He wrote on an Instagram post: Dear Fiorentina fans, unfortunately the time has come to say goodbye. It is with great sadness that my bond with Fiorentina is ended. A club that gave me so much love and support for all this time.
“From the start, you made me feel at home. I discovered a marvellous city that was always kind to me, both on and off the field. Thanks to your trust, I was able to rediscover the consistency and form I wanted.
“I owe that to my teammates and all the fans who gave me energy game after game. I want you to know that I always gave everything on the pitch for these colours.
“A special thank you to the staff of the club: chefs, managers, physiotherapists, managers and security.
“I want you to know that I did my very best to continue being part of this club, but unfortunately some – acting in my view in a negative fashion – managed to prevent that from happening, so this is why I must leave.
“I wish you all the best for the future. You will have another fan applauding from wherever it is I will go. Forza Viola, Lucas Torreira.”

Arsenal fans have been told to get realistic about the club’s pursuit of a striker this summer.
That’s the opinion of ex-Gunner Kevin Campbell who stressed to supporters that players like Kylian Mbappe are out of the club’s reach.
He said: “I understand (some) Arsenal fans because I suppose they want Arsenal to go and sign Kylian Mbappe.
“That’s what Arsenal fans seem to want. We are not in that market.
” So, what we have to do is sign somebody who can do the job, knows how to do the job and has a bit of hunger to be the main man.”
Arsenal get Jesus boost
Arsenal have been given a boost in their pursuit of Man City striker Gabriel Jesus.
That’s because the player’s agent Marcello Pettinati is set to land in Europe in the next few hours, according to Calciomercato.
And Pettinati will stop off in London on his travels, the report adds.
Although Juventus are also keen on the striker.
Former Prem rivals join forces
Former Chelsea striker has joined ambitious Djibouti champs AS Arta Solar in a vintage link-up with ex-Arsenal rival Alex Song.
Ivory Coast hero Kalou, 36, and Gunners‘ fans’ favourite Song, 37, aim to help Arta become one of Africa’s top clubs.
And Kalou has signed a short-term deal after spells with Lille and Hertha BC.
He became a free agent after his contract with Brazilian’s Botafogo expired in 2021.
Lewandowski urged to join Gunners
Robert Lewandowski has been urged to join Arsenal or Chelsea instead of Man United by Chris Sutton.
Sutton said regarding Lewandowksi’s future: “Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs, at this moment in time.
“And Arsenal are a better option, at this moment in time than Manchester United.
“One club seems to be stable under Arteta, I am not saying Arteta has torn up too many trees, but they are in a better position and they are better placed than Manchester United.”
Arsenal given Saka warning
Arsenal will have failed if they don’t tie Bukayo Saka down to a new contract.
That’s according to talkSPORT host Simon Jordan.
He said: “I think it will be a disappointing day at Arsenal if they don’t find the keys to the door to unlock the problem that they have got with this kid signing a new contract.
“That would be a massive failure on the part of Edu, Arteta and anyone else at Arsenal that controls to some extent still the direction of travel on this boy’s career.”
Arsenal optimistic over Tielemans transfer
Arsenal are hopeful they can seal a deal for Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans before the end of the month, according to reports.
Journalist Ben Jacobs said: “Arsenal remain confident and on course to sign Youri Tielemans before the month is out.
“Interest from Tottenham was never too advanced. But Bissouma’s incoming arrival will allay fears Spurs could hijack the deal.
“Tielemans is one of Arteta’s top priorities.”
Aubameyang’s Champions League joy
Former Arsenal star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed his joy over being in the Champions League with Barcelona.
Aubameyang said: “I look forward to the new season because we have a lot of talent and we are going to enjoy it.
“I know it wasn’t easy but in the end we’re in the Champions League and that’s the most important thing.
“I’ve given the maximum I could give this year.”
Raphinha transfer race heats up
Arsenal and Tottenham have both joined the race to sign Leeds star Raphinha, according to reports.
But according to The Athletic, there are now concerns the Catalan giants may not be able to fund a deal for the tricky forward.
Barcelona have debts totalling more than £1billion and are operating under tight financial constraints.
That could open the door for Arsenal and Tottenham to steal Raphinha from under the nose of Xavi.
Osimhen speaks on future
Victor Osimhen has revealed he will decide on his future after finishing international duty with Nigeria.
Osimhen, who plays for Napoli, told CalcioMercato: “I know there are many people that would like me in Spain or England, but I don’t think it’s the right time to talk about it now that I’m with the national team.
I always go out on the pitch to do my best both with the national team and with my club.
“I don’t know my future, I know anything can happen, but now I just want to go on holiday with my family, clear my head and recharge my batteries.
“Then we’ll take care of everything else.”
Partey over for Arsenal?
Arsenal could face a nervous summer in their attempt to keep hold of midfielder Thomas Partey.
Italian media outlet Tuttosport believe that Juventus are keen on bringing in the Ghanaian to play alongside Paul Pogba.
However, any offer from the Serie A side will depend on whether they are able to move on Arthur Melo.
While the suggestion of an ‘ambitious’ swap deal involving Party and the Brazilian Melo has been flagged by the Turin club, no official offer has been lodged.
The 29-year-old Partey joined the Gunners for £45m in October 2020, but has seen his progress at the Emirates hampered by a series of niggling injuries.
Gunners in scrap for Scamacca
Arsenal could be about to find themselves frustrated in their bid to land another striker.
The Gunners have recently been linked with a £43m move for Sassuolo hotshot Gianluca Scamacca, who fired 16 goals in 36 Serie A appearances last season.
However, it is now being rumoured that some of Europe’s biggest clubs are also interested in the 23-year-old.
According to reports, Juventus, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan are all keeping tabs on Scamacca.
The forward has four years to run on his current deal in Modena, having signed a contract extension back in April.
Arsenal fans react to Spurs signings
There’s only one thing worse than seeing your side standing still in the transfer market – and it’s watching your closest rivals make key signings left, right and centre.
It certainly feels that way for Arsenal supporters right now, who are having to endure Tottenham going about their impressive business.
Because not only did Spurs pip the Gunners to Champions League football, they’ve now beaten them to the capture of Yves Bissouma.
The Brighton midfielder has been a long-term target for both North London clubs, but it’s Antonio Conte men that have won out – and the same could be soon said about Djed Spence.

Gunners to Net new keeper?
Arsenal are monitoring Barcelona back-up goalkeeper Neto as a potential replacement for Bernd Leno.
Leno appears likely to leave the Emirates this summer after falling behind Aaron Ramsdale in the pecking order.
And now Spanish outlet Sport are suggesting that Neto is considering swapping the substitutes’ bench at the Nou Camp for one in North London.
However, the Gunners have already brought in one keeper in American Matt Turner, and also have the highly-rated Arthur Okonkwo among their squad.
Martinelli confirms intention to stay
Gabriel Martinelli has seemingly dismissed speculation linking him with a move away from Arsenal.
The 20-year-old enjoyed an impressive breakthrough season in the Premier League, notching six goals and six assists in 29 appearances.
His performances caught the eye of many clubs across Europe, and it was feared they could tempt the winger away after the Gunners missed out on Champions League football.
However, in welcoming another young Brazilian to the club, he now appears to have indicated that his immediate future remains at the Emirates.
Acknowledging the signing of Marquinhos, Martinelli wrote on his Instagram story: “Welcome brother, we’re together.”
GOOD MORNING GOONERS
Newly-promoted Fulham are in talks to sign goalkeeper Bernd Leno from Arsenal.
The German stopper is widely expected to leave the Emirates this summer, having fallen behind Aaron Ramsdale in the pecking order, and following the arrival of back-up Matt Turner.
However, Leno’s agent Joannis Koukoutrigas believes that his player should still be considered Arsenal’s number one and could yet remain in North London.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are willing to buy Christopher Nkunku for a record transfer fee.
RB Leipzig have reportedly slapped a £100m tag on Nkunku, according to The Express.
But the Gunners are willing to pay the price for the 24-year-old, unlike Prem rivals Man United.
Elsewhere, Dusan Vlahovic has revealed he never had any intention of joining Arsenal as Juventus was the only club on his mind.
He said: “Maybe my agent knows [about Arsenal’s offer] but I never talked to anyone about it.
“I just had one club in my mind because Juventus is Juventus. There is nothing else to say, and now I feel honoured to be given this jersey. It’s incredible every time I put it on.
“I definitely identify with their DNA. The Juventus personality coincides with my personality.
“When you come here you never give up, you fight all the time, you make the sacrifices. This was definitely what I was looking for.”
Finally, Arsenal defender Pablo Mari is being tracked by AC Milan and Lazio, reports claim.
Mari made waves in the Serie A last season while on loan with Udinese.
And Milan view him as the ideal man to marshal their defence if they miss out on Sven Botman.
Likewise, Lazio will turn to Mari if they fail to land Alessio Romagnoli, according to Corriere dello Sport.
Prem fixture list leaked
Ahead of Thursday’s Premier League fixture release, a schedule for the 2022-23 season has been ‘leaked’ online.
An image has emerged on Twitter supposedly showing the first eight match days of the season.
There are banana-skin away ties for Arsenal and Chelsea, who will both travel to the South Coast, according to the leaked list.
The Gunners face Brighton, fresh off an excellent 9th-place finish in the last campaign, while the Blues are in action at St. Mary’s against Southampton.
Italian clubs track Mari
Arsenal defender Pablo Mari is being tracked by AC Milan and Lazio, reports claim.
Mari made waves in the Serie A last season while on loan with Udinese.
And Milan view him as the ideal man to marshal their defence if they miss out on Sven Botman.
Likewise, Lazio will turn to Mari if they fail to land Alessio Romagnoli, according to Corriere dello Sport.
Vlahovic reveals Arsenal snub
Dusan Vlahovic has revealed he never had any intention of joining Arsenal as Juventus was the only club on his mind.
He said: “Maybe my agent knows [about Arsenal’s offer] but I never talked to anyone about it.
“I just had one club in my mind because Juventus is Juventus. There is nothing else to say, and now I feel honoured to be given this jersey. It’s incredible every time I put it on.
“I definitely identify with their DNA. The Juventus personality coincides with my personality.
“When you come here you never give up, you fight all the time, you make the sacrifices. This was definitely what I was looking for.”
Arsenal target’s transfer price
Arsenal are willing to buy Christopher Nkunku for a record transfer fee.
RB Leipzig have reportedly slapped a £100m tag on Nkunku, according to The Express.
But the Gunners are willing to pay the price for the 24-year-old, unlike Prem rivals Man United.
Arsenal confirm first summer signing
Arsenal have completed the signing of Brazilian wonderkid Marquinhos.
The Gunners have confirmed that the 19-year-old has penned a “long-term contract” after joining from Sao Paulo.
Arsenal’s technical director Edu said: “We’re delighted to have completed the transfer with Sao Paulo, as Marquinhos was a player we had been watching for a while.
“At 19, he is still very young, so he is a player for the future.
“We look forward to Marquinhos now joining us for pre-season, making his new home, and continuing to grow and develop with us.”
Leno’s gets glowing praise
Bernd Leno is the best keeper at Arsenal despite losing the No1 spot to Aaron Ramsdale, according to his agent.
Leno’s agent Joannis Koukoutrigas told Bild: “He is a German national goalkeeper, has always performed well at Arsenal and is an absolute team player.
“For me personally, Bernd is also the clear No.1 at Arsenal. With all due respect to the competitors.
“Yes, Fulham is trying hard to get Bernd. Very professionally. This is also true for some other clubs and shows his status.
“But, as I said, for me he is the No.1 at Arsenal and we are therefore also relaxed.”

by Philippa Kaur 14 June 2022, 22:01
CHELSEA have received a boost in their pursuit of Everton’s Richarlison.Last week, SunSport broke the news that the Brazilian was keen on a move to Chelsea, PSG or Real Madrid.
And now, reports from Brazil suggest that Richarlison is keen to join Chelsea as he feels his style of play best suits the Premier League.
The Blues are also said to be leading the race for Matthijs de Ligt of Juventus.
But they’ve hit a slight snag in their pursuit of Jules Kounde, with the Frenchman set to undergo surgery on a long term injury.

Inter ‘push for Lukaku transfer’
Inter Milan are still pushing to sign Romelu Lukaku despite landing Paulo Dybala from Juventus.
And Lukaku is demanding that the Blues let him leave this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Talks between Chelsea and Inter over his loan fee are still ongoing.
But the Belgian striker is willing to take a pay cut to force through the transfer, Romano added.
Lukaku plans future crunch talks
Romelu Lukaku is reportedly heading back to London at end of the international campaign to sort out his Chelsea future.
Lukaku’s keen on a return to Inter, and will jet back to Stamford Bridge to get the transfer complete before the month ends, according to the Mirror.
However, Inter may have difficulties rustling up the £20m needed to loan the Belgium international.
Chelsea ‘keen’ on Sterling
Chelsea are reportedly keen on signing Raheem Sterling from Man City.
But the Blues will probably miss out on the winger to Real Madrid, according to talkSPORT host Alex Crook.
He said to Give me Sport: Sterling’s an interesting one because I think that they will definitely be keen on him.
“Personally, I think he is more likely to end up abroad. Real Madrid are still looking to strengthen up top having missed out on a couple of targets.
“I could see Raheem Sterling at the Bernabeu. I think he’s the type of player that would excite them, and I think he’d be excited by that challenge.”
Chelsea given Kounde advice
Chelsea have been warned against overpaying for Sevilla defender Jules Kounde by Glen Johnson.
He told Bettingodds: “In that sort of position, then yes I do believe £76 million would be a risk.
“We’ve seen a lot of big money transfers from other leagues that haven’t worked.
“I’d certainly be a lot more cautious about spending that sort of money on a player that’s never played in the Premier League.”
Chelsea urged to sign Richarlison
Chelsea have been urged to sign Everton striker Richarlison.
That’s the opinion of Glen Johnson who reckons the Brazilian suits Chelsea’s playing style more than Romelu Lukaku does.
Johnson told bettingodds: “I certainly believe he would suit the way Chelsea play more than Romelu Lukaku.
“Whether he’s good enough to be their main man and get 20 goals a season, then I’m not so sure.
“I do like him though and I think he’s a good player and it could be a sensible move if the fee is reasonable.”
Richarlison’s also being tracked by Man United, Tottenham, and Arsenal.
Kounde deal hangs in balance
Jules Kounde’s dream move to Chelsea has been rocked by an injury storm.
The £70million-rated Sevilla defender underwent surgery on Tuesday on an old pelvic problem which flared up on international duty on Monday.
Kounde fears that although the op is minor it could still affect his chances of securing a big-money transfer to the Prem this summer.
And Sevilla are privately fuming that Kounde opted to play for France against Croatia in the Nations League, while carrying the knock and risking the deal.
Christensen speaks on Barcelona switch
Andreas Christensen is keen on completing his transfer from Chelsea to Barcelona soon.
When asked when his switch to Barca will happen, he said: “Hopefully soon.
“I have known what I was going to do for a while. I’m just waiting for the right time. Unfortunately, it’s not entirely up to me. There are also other things that need to fall into place.
“It is one of the biggest clubs in Europe. I think it is for everyone – whether they have had their problems or not, it is still one of the biggest clubs for a player to get to.”
Former Chelsea ace joins QPR
Former Chelsea star Jake Clarke-Salter has reportedly agreed to join QPR.
The 24-year-old will complete the transfer on Wednesday, according to The Athletic.
That’s once his medical is completed, the report added.
He left Chelsea at the end of last season after a 14-year-stint with the club.
Lukaku’s future plans in chaos
Romelu Lukaku’s hopes of joining Inter Milan have been handed a huge blow.
That’s because Inter have reportedly completed the signing of Paulo Dybala.
Dybala is said to have accepted a four-year contract offer from Inter, with a minor detail that still needs to be ironed out.
And that’s bad news for Lukaku, as Inter won’t be able to afford both strikers, according to reports.
Gallagher gets rave reivew
Conor Gallagher’s performances for Crystal Palace on loan last season has earned him a glowing report from Kenny Daglish.
Liverpool legend Daglish said: “In 2020-21, he was bright and bubbly at West Brom.
“Then last season at Crystal Palace he really lit the place up. He was brilliant for Patrick Vieira’s team as they finished a creditable 12th in the Premier League.
“Conor is 22 and now plays for England. He has been very patient. His progress has been steady and he now looks the part of a Chelsea first-team player.”
Former Prem rivals join forces
Former Chelsea striker has joined ambitious Djibouti champs AS Arta Solar in a vintage link-up with ex-Arsenal rival Alex Song.
Ivory Coast hero Kalou, 36, and Gunners’ fans’ favourite Song, 37, aim to help Arta become one of Africa’s top clubs.
And Kalou has signed a short-term deal after spells with Lille and Hertha BC.
He became a free agent after his contract with Brazilian’s Botafogo expired in 2021.
Chelsea eye Lazio keeper
Chelsea are reportedly eyeing a transfer swoop for Lazio keeper Thomas Strakosha.
Strakosha is available on a free transfer.
And the Blues are considering him as a viable option to replace No.1 goalie Kepa if he decides to leave Stamford Bridge, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Blues are also poised to sign 18-year-old stopper Gabriel Slonina from Chicago Fire.
But the Blues see him as one for the future, and plan to loan him back to the MLS side, the report adds.
Richarlison eyes London move
Everton striker Richarlison is keen on signing for Chelsea or Tottenham, according to reports.
Real Madrid are also keen on the Brazilian, but he’s wary of joining the La Liga giants, according to uol Sport.
That’s because he’s eyeing a spot in Brazil’s World Cup team, and isn’t sure if he will play regularly for Real next season.
But he’s keen on leaving Everton this summer, and wouldn’t a move to London to link up with Spurs or the Blues, the report adds.
Chelsea set for transfer blow
Wolves have no intention of selling Rayan Ait-Nouri amid speculation Manchester City and Chelsea are closing in on a £25million swoop.
Wanderers boss Bruno Lage wants to build up his thin squad and is in no mood to let the French wing-back leave with four years left on his deal.
But Wolves sources insist neither of the Prem giants has expressed an interest in Ait-Nouri, who cost £10m from French side Angers last summer.
And significantly, they are not interested in cashing in to make a speedy £15million profit.
Angers have a clause entitling them to 50 per cent of any future sale, meaning Wolves have little incentive to sell.
Matic completes Roma transfer
Roma have competed the signing of Nemanja Matic on a free transfer from Manchester United.
Matic, 33, has penned a one-year deal that will expire in June 2023.
During his first interview with the club he hinted that he made the switch in order to reunite with Jose Mourinho, who lured him to Old Trafford in 2017.
He said: “I am pleased and honoured to be joining this club and I cannot wait to start the new season with my teammates.
“Roma is a big club, with amazing fans and a coach, Jose Mourinho, who is well known to everyone – making the decision to come here very straightforward.
“I hope that by working together we are able to achieve some great things.”
De Ligt deal back on?
In need of comfort after the disappointing news of Jules Kounde’s surgery, Chelsea fans? Then how about this: a move for Juventus’ Matthijs de Ligt could be back on the table.
The Dutch defender was reportedly poised to put pen to paper on a new deal with the Old Lady, but the player now states that no agreement has been reached.
Instead, Football Italia believes Chelsea are leading the race to sign the 22-year-old ahead of Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester United.
Journalist Dean Jones has previously gone on record to say that De Ligt was ‘the dream’ signing for Chelsea.
The centre-back has a €120m release clause within in his contract, which will raise to €140m next season if no offers are forthcoming.
Levi leveraged for Richarlison swoop
Chelsea could tempt Everton into selling Richarlison by offering young defender Levi Colwill as part of the deal.
The Telegraph reported this morning that Spurs were in pole position to sign the Brazilian, but the Blues haven’t given up hope of hijacking the move.
The Toffees have shown an interest in Colwill, who impressed on loan at Huddersfield last season, and previously worked with Everton boss Frank Lampard at Stamford Bridge.
Thomas Tuchel had indicated that he wants the upcoming pre-season to run the rule over Colwill, but could be willing to let him leave on loan again to get Richarlison over the line.
Breaking: Kounde to undergo surgery
Chelsea transfer target Jules Kounde is to undergo surgery on a long-standing injury, it has been revealed.
The defender was subbed off at half-time in France’s 1-0 Nations League defeat to Croatia last night, and afterwards Didier Deschamps announced that the 23-year-old required treatment.
“I knew very well his physical condition,” the French coach stated.
“As of tomorrow, he will have an intervention because he has a problem that dates back several months.”
While Kounde is expected to recuperate in time for pre-season, the news has cast doubt on the player’s expected move to Stamford Bridge.
Frank-tastic! Chelsea recall legendary signing
It was 21 years ago today that Chelsea surprised many by paying £11m for young West Ham midfielder Frank Lampard.
The 22-year-old had hardly pulled up trees in East London, and was seen as the teacher’s pet being the nephew of manager Harry Redknapp, and the son of coach Frank Lampard snr.
However, following the departure of his uncle and father, Lampard engineered a move away from Upton Park – and rewrote Chelsea history.
Over the next 13 years, Lampard would become the Blues’ record goalscorer, and the highest scoring midfielder of the Premier League era.

Ray-an light for the Blues
Chelsea will move for Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri once Marcos Alonso completes his move to Barcelona.
The Blues have been keeping tabs on the French U21 star since it became apparent that the club would face a defensive exodus this summer.
Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen have already confirmed their departures, and Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta could also be heading for the Stamford Bridge exit door.
Alonso’s transfer would leave Thomas Tuchel with few options at left-back, particularly with Ben Chilwell having only just returned from an ACL injury.
And journalist Alan Nixon believes Chelsea have earmarked £25m rated Ait-Nouri – although they are likely to face competition from Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.
GOOD MORNING CHELSEA FANS
Chelsea have exercised the option to extend Billy Gilmour’s contract by 12 months.
The 21-year-old Scot’s deal at Stamford Bridge now runs until 2024.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are considering a swoop for Wolves wing-back Rayan Ait-Nouri.
Ait-Nouri would provide competition and cover for Ben Chilwell in the left wing-back slot at Stamford Bridge.
Also, the Blues are reportedly dreaming of signing Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus this summer.
But luring him away from Juve won’t be easy.
That’s because the Old Lady plan on building their defence around De Ligt, according to the Chelsea Chronicle.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are reportedly confident they can land Ousmane Dembele and Jules Kounde in a double transfer swoop.
Blues boss Thomas Tuchel is keen on the winger and was tracking him last season.
And new club owner Todd Boehly is willing to provide the funds to help Tuchel’s wishes come true, according to Give Me Sport.
Along with Dembele, the Blues are expected to complete the signing of Kounde from Sevilla for £68.5m, the report adds.
Finally, Nemanja Matic has landed in Italy ahead of his free transfer move from Manchester United to Roma.
He is due to reunite with former Chelsea and United manager Jose Mourinho in the capital city for a third time.
Matic was pictured arriving at Ciampino’s airport in Rome earlier today, where he was only too happy to wave for the camera.
Pulisic future debated
Chelsea may be open to letting Christian Pulisic leave if they bring in Ousmane Dembele.
That’s the view of talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook.
He said: “Pulisic’s dad put out that tweet that he hastily deleted, saying that he had a sort of big decision to make.
“So yeah, I think if Dembele came in, although obviously he played alongside him at Dortmund, I think they would be open to offers for Pulisic.”
Prem fixture list leaked
Ahead of Thursday’s Premier League fixture release, a schedule for the 2022-23 season has been ‘leaked’ online.
An image has emerged on Twitter supposedly showing the first eight match days of the season.
There are banana-skin away ties for Arsenal and Chelsea, who will both travel to the South Coast, according to the leaked list.
The Gunners face Brighton, fresh off an excellent 9th-place finish in the last campaign, while the Blues are in action at St. Mary’s against Southampton.
The first meeting between two of the ‘Big Six’ comes three weeks into the season, allegedly, when Manchester City take on Chelsea.
And in a nightmare opening run for the Blues it’s claimed they will face Tottenham the week after.
Peter Kenyon leads Everton bid
Ex-Man United and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon is reportedly the front man for the consortium that are trying to buy Everton.
He is part of a group that includes chief executive of Minneapolis-based Talon Real Estate Maciek Kaminski and American businessman John Thornton.
And The Telegraph states that it is being advised by investment specialist Michael Klein and US law firm Weil, Gotshal and Manges.
Current Everton owner Farhad Moshiri values the club at over £500m, which takes into account their debt.
This report claims that “heads of terms have been signed” although talks are still at a “relatively early stage”.
And the consortium could demand that they get some guarantees should the Premier League club get a points deduction or large fine over Financial Fair Play issues.
Chelsea eye MK Dons defender
Chelsea have been linked with a move for MK Dons defender Harry Darling.
That’s according to Football League World want Darling to shore up their depleted defence.
But the Blues face competition from Norwich City and Brighton who are also chasing the 22-year-old, the report added.

by Philippa Kaur 14 June 2022, 20:14
REAL MADRID are reportedly eyeing up a sensational £78million swoop for Borussia Dortmund and England midfielder Jude Bellingham.The 18-year-old international, who is under contract until 2025, has been heavily linked with a move to both Liverpool and Manchester United – with Jurgen Klopp’s side reportedly making a formal offer.
Dortmund and England star Jude Bellingham has attracted interest from across EuropeCredit: Getty
However, Spanish and European champions Real Madrid could well steal the teenager away from the Premier League sides.
According to Cadena Ser, Los Blancos are keen to sign the Dortmund man in the summer of 2023.
That is because by the end of next season they are confident Vinicius Junior will have a Spanish passport – freeing up a non-EU place in their squad.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side currently have a full quota of non-EU players on their roster.

OFFER Christian Eriksen deal, Barcelona ‘drop De Jong price to £70m’
But they remain keen on Bellingham and are hoping a price of £78m can prise him away from the Bundesliga side.
Bellingham has scored ten goals and provided 18 assists in 90 games for the German outfit.
Dortmund do not want to sell the midfielder this summer because they have just lost Erling Haaland to Manchester City – less than 12 months after selling Jadon Sancho to Manchester United.
Offloading Bellingham next year would give Madrid time to work on negotiations for the player as they look to add fresh legs to their midfield.

The Spanish giants won the Champions League this year with an ageing trio of Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Casemiro.
And while all three remain formidable players, Madrid are clearly keen to bring through the next generation.
They already have 19-year-old Eduardo Camavinga in their midst – a player who was key to their Champions League triumph.
Aurelien Tchouameni has also been signed by the club, with Bellingham potentially the final player in Madrid’s future midfield trio. More

Pep Guardiola approved the extension for Carson who signed in 2019.
The former West Brom and Derby County stopper has made just two appearances for the Citizens but has still achieved cult hero status at the club.
Carson likely gained popularity for his celebrations after City’s title victory, as well as his bravery in calling out Atletico Madrid’s Sime Vrsaljko for a fight.
Many supporters are delighted he will remain at the club for another season and have expressed their excitement on social media.

Man City ‘want £200m in sales this summer’ as Arsenal chase Gabriel Jesus and Chelsea eye Raheem Sterling transfer

Man City are open to selling him for around £45m as they have recently brought in forwards Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez.
And they could also be set to sell Sterling to fellow Premier League rivals Chelsea.
The England international, who has one year left on his current deal, struggled for minutes in the second half of the 2021-22 campaign and could be available for £60m.
Thomas Tuchel will have been disappointed by the number of goals Romelu Lukaku has contributed since returning to Stamford Bridge, so Sterling could prove to be a different type of option through the middle or out wide.

Meanwhile, City are also hoping young players Yangel Herrera and Morgan Rogers could earn the club £20m between them.
Southampton are keen to sign young City keeper Gavin Bazunu for around £15m.
And Pep Guardiola’s side have already offloaded right-back Pedro Porro to Sporting Lisbon for £7m.
That adds to the £55m they acquired in the January window for Ferran Torres – who joined Barcelona.

Paulo Dybala snubs Man Utd and Tottenham to seal Inter Milan free transfer after mum convinced him to stay in Italy
by Philippa Kaur 14 June 2022, 18:54
PAULO DYBALA has reportedly rejected Manchester United and Tottenham to sign for Inter Milan – after his mum persuaded him to stay in Italy.Last month the attacking midfielder, 28, announced he would leave Juventus when his contract expires at the end of June.

That presented United and Tottenham with the opportunity to sign Dybala, but he has always been heavily tipped with a San Siro switch.
And now Inter look set to snap up the Argentine thanks to his mother’s influence, report Gazzetta dello Sport.
Dybala is said to be ready to put pen to paper on a four-year contract worth £5million a year.
The deal will be completed soon after the player revealed his mother Alicia is “very present in his life and sports choices”.

United and Tottenham are believed to have pulled out of the running with Spurs unwilling to match his wage demands.
Dybala was not believed to be keen on a switch to north London either having previously rejected the club in 2019.
Rivals Arsenal were also interested in Dybala but his desire to play Champions League football ruled the Gunners out of the running.
United have quickly turned their attention to other targets – making Christian Eriksen a contract offer.
