* TalkSPORT said that midfielder Scott McTominay has been informed that he can leave MU this summer. Having grown up in the "Red Devils" training camp, the 26-year-old player has not improved in recent seasons. Last season, McTominay even had to sit on the bench and was only the fourth choice in the "red fire" of Manchester's midfield, behind Casemiro, Eriksen and Fred.

* According to The Athletic, Man City has decided to sign Declan Rice. The Citizens' initial offer to West Ham could exceed £90 million. Previously, the Hammers flatly rejected Arsenal's offer of £80 million plus £10 million in additional fees. The Times asserted that Man City's arrival could skyrocket Rice's price.

Currently, the record for the most expensive player in the Premier League is held by Enzo Fernandez when he joined Chelsea in January 2023 for £106.8 million.

In a related development, previously, aiming for an unprecedented "quintuple" (European Super Cup, C1 Cup, Premier League, FA Cup and English League Cup), Man City entered the 2023 summer transfer market and brought in its first new player, midfielder Mateo Kovacic, for $38 million.

* Dailymail reported that Newcastle is entering the final stages of negotiations to acquire Sandro Tonali from AC Milan for a club-record fee of around 70 million euros (excluding future performance-based clauses), with a contract until 2029. With Tonali, and keeping Bruno Guimaraes, Newcastle has ambitions to compete for the Premier League title next season.

* Khel Now said that finding a quality striker will be Bayern Munich's top priority this summer to improve their strength. The names that the "Gray Tigers" are interested in include: Victor Osimhen (Napoli), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Julian Álvarez (Man City), Randal Kolo Muani (Frankfurt) and Rasmus Hojlund (Atalanta).

In addition, Fichajes newspaper reported that Bayern Munich is also participating in the race for the signature of coach Zinedine Zidane along with PSG and Real Madrid. Although he has just appointed Mr. Thomas Tuchel as the team's head coach, what this coach has left is not really impressive to the Bayern Munich Board of Directors.

* Forbes quoted journalist Fabrizio Romano's statement saying that Barca has completed the procedures to recruit Ilkay Gundogan on a free transfer from Man City. The German midfielder will sign a 2-year contract with the Camp Nou team with an option to extend for another year. Currently, they are just waiting for the Catalan team to officially announce this deal. In the 2022-2023 season, Gundogan played extremely well for Man "blue" and helped the team complete the historic "treble".

* FourFourTwo believes that Arsenal will prioritize upgrading the midfield, so they may be ready to part ways with the trio of Partey, Xhaka and Jorginho. Therefore, this is also an opportunity for Saudi Arabian teams to recruit more quality stars, including Partey. This summer, Al Nassr, Al Ahli and Al Khaleej are all interested in the Ghanaian international and are willing to spend money to get the signature of the former Atletico Madrid star. The 30-year-old player has a contract with Arsenal until 2025, and has also received offers from teams in Italy but has not yet made a decision on his future.
