RMC Sport understands that Villarreal and Juventus FC have made initial enquiries over the France international. Disasi has made clear he would rather remain in the Premier League, if the opportunity presented itself. The report adds that Newcastle United are monitoring Disasi's situation. Newcastle would reportedly not hesitate to sign a centre-back, given the added fixtures of at least eight Champions League games, and that Disasi is among the Magpies' targets.

Solberg secures first WRC win in Estonia
Sweden's Oliver Solberg followed in his world champion father's footsteps as he claimed his first WRC victory in the Rally of Estonia on Sunday. The 23-year-old is the son of 2003 WRC champion Petter Solberg and was making his first appearance in the elite class since 2022. Solberg made the most of the opportunity handed to him by Toyota, who gave him the chance to drive one of their cars for this rally in the absence of eight-time world champion Sebastien Ogier. The Swede charged into the lead on Friday and never relinquished it on the high-speed gravel roads. He finished 25.2 seconds ahead of home favourite and 2019 world champion Ott Tanak. Reigning champion Thierry Neuville of Belgium came in third place. "After everything, so many years trying and trying and trying and dreaming, and me and (co-driver) Elliott (Edmondson) finally made it," said Solberg. "I just want to say thank you to Toyota, to the test team who helped me get so comfortable, for all the help this weekend from this beautiful, beautiful team. I've never had such a good time in my life." Tanak replaced Elfyn Evans at the top of the WRC standings, moving a point clear of the Welsh driver who ended the weekend in sixth place. jld/mw/ea

Manchester United hold talks for relegated midfielder with £9m release clause
Manchester United have held talks with Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi over a potential move to Old Trafford this summer. Ndidi has a release clause of £9m in his contract with the Foxes, following the club's relegation from the Premier League last season. Several sides have enquired into a potential deal, including Manchester United, who are targeting an athletic profile in central midfield. Personal terms have been discussed with the Nigeria international, though any deal could hinge on outgoings. The focus of Ruben Amorim is adding a centre-forward to his squad, before pursuing potential midfield additions. United are not alone in their pursuit of Ndidi, with journalist Ben Jacobs reporting that Everton and two other unnamed Premier League teams have also made approaches. There's also interest from Europe with Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus, Real Betis and Saudi Pro League sides weighing up offers. The 28-year-old has been with Leicester since 2017 and has made 303 appearances for the club in all competitions. Last season, he provided five assists in 28 league games and ranked among the top 10% of midfielders in Europe for tackles, clearances and aerial duels won per game.

Atletico Madrid eye £34m Chelsea transfer
Atlético Madrid have made contact with Renato Veiga's representatives as the club eye a move for the Chelsea defender. Veiga has returned to Chelsea after spending the second half of last season on loan at Juventus. The Portugal international joined Chelsea from FC Basel last summer but was unable to break into Enzo Maresca's plans. Amid a desire for more minutes, in his preferred centre-back position, Veiga left on loan in January. He made 15 appearances for the Italian side in all competitions but no option to extend his time in Turin was triggered. The defender is now exploring a permanent exit and Atletico Madrid are keen to strike a deal. Fabrizio Romano has reported that talks between Veiga's camp and Atletico have taken place, with the 22-year-old open to the move to the Spanish side. He is keen to secure regular football to boost his chances of making the Portugal squad for next summer's World Cup, having helped his nation to Nations League success this summer. Chelsea have set a price tag of €40m (£34.6m) for Veiga, having acquired the centre-back for just €14m (£12.1m) 12 months ago. Read – See more – Follow The Football Faithful on Social Media: | | | |
