Under coach Gareth Southgate, the England team has always been "unrivaled" in qualifying for major tournaments and the Euro 2024 qualifiers are no exception. During this June training session, the 52-year-old coach selected his players mainly based on form. Therefore, against a Malta team that was considered much weaker, the strikers from the foggy country had an easy match. England's goals were scored by Apap (8' own goal), Alexander-Arnold (28'), Kane (31' penalty) and Wilson (83' penalty).

* After completing the blockbuster deal with midfielder Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid are said to continue to target many other names. According to El Nacional, the Spanish royal team is targeting Mbappe and could also welcome the return of Hakimi to the capital Madrid. Although Real Madrid has recently made high-value contracts such as Fran Garcia, Brahim Diaz and Jude Bellingham, the Bernabeu team still lacks an effective striker to replace the gap left by Karim Benzema.

Mbappe - a long-time target of Real Madrid - has also shown his desire to leave PSG by refusing to extend his contract until 2025. Meanwhile, Hakimi is keen to return to his old team and has even pushed Mbappe to move to Madrid with him.

* Spanish newspaper AS confirmed that Barca has won the signature of Vitor Roque from Athletico Paranaense club on a 5-year contract, after paying a transfer fee of 40 million euros, divided into 3 payments.

With his all-round playing style, Vitor Roque is analyzed by many experts to be very similar to Luis Suarez, the once-famous goalscorer of Barca. However, due to financial fair play regulations, the Nou Camp team needs to liquidate at least 3 players to make room for this Brazilian "prodigy".

* Transfermarkt reported that MU is aiming to buy 1m92 tall German center-back Robin Koch from Leeds, to replace target Kim Min-jae from Napoli. Robin Koch has only 1 year left on his contract with his home team, so he will likely be sold in this summer transfer window. Initially, Kim Min-jae was MU's target in upgrading the defense. However, the "Red Devils" had to change their plan due to fierce competition from PSG and Bayern Munich.

In addition, to replace “spider man” David de Gea - whose contract will expire in two weeks but has not been renewed (with a 1-year extension clause) - MU is entering the race to acquire Andre Onana from Inter Milan. Onana's outstanding points are his excellent reflexes and excellent footwork.

On the other hand, according to The Mail, coach Erik ten Hag wants to reform the squad on a large scale, so he could push many names away in this transfer window, including Harry Maguire (currently being interested by Newcastle and Tottenham), McTominay (currently being targeted by Newcastle and Fulham) and Anthony Martial (currently receiving attention from Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan).

Also on the evening of June 16, MU confirmed the departure of 7 players after their contracts expired in June, including Phil Jones, Axel Tuanzebe, Ethan Galbraith, Di'Shon Bernard, Eric Hanbury, Charlie Wellens and Manni Norkett. In contrast, coach Erik ten Hag expects to add at least 3 new players including a new striker, midfielder and central defender.

* The Athletic said that after the historic "treble" in the 2022-2023 season, Man City is preparing to say goodbye to many stars who do not want to stay at the Etihad Stadium such as Illkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Aymeric Laporte, Kyle Walker and Riyad Mahrez. The challenge for Man "Blue" will be to prepare a new generation of players to succeed the successful seniors.

* Similarly, The Athletic claims Liverpool are targeting five stars in the upcoming transfer window to suit their long-term plans, after reaching a €42m deal with Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. The Reds' targets include Khephren Thuram of Nice, Manu Kone of Borussia Monchengladbach, Gabri Veiga of Celta Vigo, Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich and Romeo Lavia of Southampton.

In contrast, Liverpool's homepage confirmed the release of 11 players because their contracts expire at the end of June, including Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

* Marca reported that Al Taawon club in Saudi Arabia's Saudi Pro League is determined to recruit Alvaro Morata this summer with a salary of about 50 million euros/season, many times higher than what the Spanish player is receiving at Atletico Madrid. However, Morata has not agreed yet because he does not want to give up top football in Europe.

* The Telegraph reported that Newcastle has almost reached an agreement with Inter Milan to spend 55 million euros on Barella, and is expected to close the transfer in the next few days. The St James' Park team also asked to buy defender Rogerio for 20-25 million euros from Sassuolo. In addition, Newcastle is also targeting Moussa Diaby, Ryan Gravenberch, James Maddison and Scott McTominay. It is expected that the "Magpies" will spend no less than 200 million euros in this transfer window, thereby demonstrating their desire to rise in the next season. According to Goal, Newcastle's goal next season is to defend the Top 4 of the Premier League and gradually approach the championship race of the most prestigious tournament in the foggy country.
