TRENDING RUMORS

Trent Alexander-Arnold has joined the likes of Kylian Mbappé, Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba in joining Real Madrid as a free agent, and Marca has suggested that Los Blancos are already considering who they could bring in out of contract next summer. Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konaté is being looked at and the Reds’ directors already fear a repeat of Alexander-Arnold’s situation, while Arsenal left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly and Valencia centre-back Cristhian Mosquera are also being looked at.

Paris Saint-Germain have reached an agreement with AFC Bournemouth centre-back Ilya Zabarnyi on a five-year contract, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has a host of Premier League clubs on his trail, according to the Daily Mail. Chelsea, Aston Villa and Tottenham are all keeping tabs on the Argentina international after he was told to find a new club by manager Ruben Amorim. United reportedly want a fee of around £50m from clubs looking to land the 20-year-old

Manchester City continue to hold an interest in Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma amid speculation that Éderson could move to the Saudi Pro League, according to Football Insider.
