Manchester United, PSG Receive Major Boost From Fabrizio Romano on £63M-Rated Transfer Target
PSG have been keeping tabs on Victor Osimhen since last year, and with the summer transfer window approaching, speculation around his future is ramping up. According to a recent report from GIVE ME SPORT, Manchester United are becoming increasingly concerned about PSG's strong interest in the 26-year-old, with the French club now considered the frontrunner to sign him. Advertisement The report claims PSG are prepared to meet both Osimhen's salary demands and his £63 million release clause. It also notes that Manchester United and Chelsea now see PSG as their biggest competition in the race for the striker. Manchester United, PSG target not headed to Saudi ArabiaOn Thursday, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Osimhen's potential move to Al Hilal is on the verge of collapsing, as there is still no agreement between the club and the player. Meanwhile, Galatasaray have entered the race with serious intent and are making a strong push to complete the deal. Meanwhile, TBR Football recently claimed that Liverpool have identified Osimhen as one of two key targets to strengthen their No. 9 position this summer. The outlet's chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, added that Liverpool have already taken steps behind the scenes toward a potential move. Osimhen is reportedly keen on a switch to the Premier League. This stance gives English clubs a potential advantage in the race for his signature. Still, Napoli reportedly remain firm on their valuation and have no plans to lower their asking price.

Chiesa ‘shocked' by Juventus cull and stark Thiago Motta warning
Federico Chiesa reveals what Thiago Motta told him before his move to Liverpool and why he was 'shocked' by some of the decisions made at Juventus this season. The winger sat down with the Corriere dello Sport for a lengthy interview and you can read the rest of his comments here. Advertisement He made the transfer to Liverpool late last summer for a minimal fee of €12m plus bonuses, as Juve did not want to risk losing him as a free agent with the contract running down. Although Chiesa was bitterly criticised by fans for that departure, he insists it was not what he wanted at all.

I told him that I was ready to fight for my place, to prove I could still be of use to Juventus, but there was nothing to be done. It's his choice,' explained the Italy international in the Corriere dello Sport. Advertisement His was only one of many changes to the squad over the last 12 months, which saw some legends of the locker room shoved aside. 'Everyone knew Szczesny and Rabiot were not part of their plans, but seeing Fagioli and Danilo pushed out shocked me. Dani was such a strong reference point in the dressing room, it was a choice I simply did not understand, nor agree with.'

Both Chiesa and Danilo made their feelings clear on the matter. Director of sport Cristiano Giuntoli has also now been axed, just two years after he was poached from Napoli.

Tudor backs favourite, Allegri-Dusan tension, Inter eyes Saudi move 🇸🇦🤑
All eyes tonight will be on the match between Italy and Norway, but as usual, the market takes the spotlight first. Not only Chivu to Inter and Kelly's official move to Juventus: there are many market news released during the day and below you will find some of the most important ones. Juventus, Tudor wants his protégé After Juventus' decision not to extend Renato Veiga's loan, who is set to return to Chelsea, the Turin club is looking for a replacement in defense. Among the names considered with greater insistence stands out that of Balerdi, central defender of Marseille, already coached by Igor Tudor in the past. Advertisement The Argentine born in '99, who also holds an Italian passport, is a profile appreciated by the former Bianconeri coach. His experience in Ligue 1 makes him a solid option for the backline. Goal reports this. Milan, Allegri thinks of Vlahovic Milan is particularly active in this phase of the transfer market, with the clear goal of adding a striker capable of scoring in double digits. The name at the top of the list, according to is Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian center forward, leaving Juventus, has long been one of Massimiliano Allegri's favorites. The Tuscan coach, now involved in the Rossoneri project, has asked to deepen contacts with the Bianconeri. The first dialogues, already started for Cambiaso, could facilitate the negotiation. Inter, watch out for Inzaghi's Al Hilal Inter will be able to invest in the market again thanks to a positive balance sheet and revenues exceeding 500 million euros. To these incomes will be added those derived from possible sales. Among the fans' concerns is the risk that Inzaghi's arrival at Al-Hilal attracts profiles like Bastoni and Barella. Advertisement The former was already sounded out by Al-Nassr in January, who stopped in front of the 80 million request. Barella, on the other hand, said no to a monstrous offer of 30 million a year, but Al-Hilal insists. The Saudi club also targets Osimhen, Ederson and Theo, with the goal of delivering a team of stars to Simone Inzaghi by June 18 for the Club World Cup. Repubblica reports this. Napoli, new name for the wing Antonio Conte has clear ideas about the future Napoli: the club is ready to announce the arrival of Kevin De Bruyne at the beginning of next week. The club aims to complete the squad with seven more additions, to best face the four competitions scheduled. Today's edition of Il Mattino reports this. One of the coach's priorities is a right winger capable of providing width and coverage along the entire flank, in support of Di Lorenzo. At the top of the list is Raoul Bellanova, protagonist of a positive season with Atalanta. Purchased for 25 million, he could only leave in the face of a significant offer. Roma, Lucumí liked for defense Roma has targeted Jhon Lucumí to strengthen the defensive department, considering him a primary objective. The Colombian center-back is valued at around 20 million euros by Bologna, which has already rejected lower proposals. TMW. reports this. Advertisement However, it seems complicated that the Emilian club decides to sell both Lucumí and Beukema in the same transfer window. The next few days will be decisive to understand if there will be room for negotiation. The situation remains evolving. Lazio-Castellanos, will it be goodbye in the summer? Taty Castellanos is not among Lazio's untouchables and could leave the club in the summer. According to the club would be willing to consider offers starting from 30 million euros to reinvest for a striker with different characteristics. Castellanos himself seems to consider the idea of a change of jersey, evaluating possible alternatives. The first inquiries have come from the Premier League and Saudi Arabia, but so far without concrete developments. Only concrete proposals could start the negotiation for the farewell. Fiorentina, is Dodo's renewal complicated? Fiorentina has started contacts for the renewal of Dodo's contract, expiring in 2027, but the Brazilian full-back has not yet provided an answer. The club's proposal includes a salary adjustment only at the end of the agreement, an option that does not fully convince the player. The situation is therefore at a standstill, as Il Corriere dello Sport reports. Advertisement This uncertainty has attracted the interest of several European clubs, including Barcelona, Milan and Inter, ready to monitor the evolution of the case. In the last few hours, Juventus has also entered the race for the full-back. Dodô's future therefore remains open to possible developments.
