Premier League target Evann Guessand uninterested in Fenerbahçe move
Evann Guessand (23) will almost certainly be on the move this summer. Speaking after the final match of the Ligue 1 season, Franck Haise sounded pessimistic about OGC Nice's chances of retaining their academy product.
'We know that Evann will be one of the players who is highly sought after. What matters is what he has done this season,' began the Nice manager in a press conference attended by Get French Football News.

He added, 'Like other French clubs, we have to sell to buy this summer.' However, the Ivory Coast international will not leave on the cheap. L'Équipe understands that the centre-forward is valued at around €40m by his club.
Fenerbahçe have shown interest in Guessand, as per L'Équipe. However, the player is not interested in such a move. He has made a move, either to the Premier League or to Germany, a priority. As per Sky Sports, Wolverhampton Wanderers hold an interest.

Rudi Völler on Florian Wirtz's move to Liverpool: 'A few months ago, he hinted to me, as did his father, that he was inclined to go to Liverpool.'
Rudi Völler on Florian Wirtz's move to Liverpool: 'A few months ago, he hinted to me, as did his father, that he was inclined to go to Liverpool.' Speaking on Toni Kroos' podcast 'Einfach Mal Luppen' (via Sport1), DFB Sporting Director Rudi Völler commented on Florian Wirtz's move to Liverpool. Despite no longer being the sporting director of Bayer Leverkusen, Völler is still close to the club and is regularly seen in the stands at the BayArena. Völler revealed some details about the whole saga surrounding Wirtz: 'I knew from my proximity to Bayer Leverkusen, also from his family or from him himself, what inquiries he had – it wasn't just Liverpool or Bayern Munich, there were others too.' Advertisement The former striker then revealed that despite the media portraying Bayern Munich as the favourites to sign the 22-year-old this summer, it seemingly wasn't the case: 'A few months ago, he hinted to me, as did his father, that he was inclined to go to Liverpool.' Wirtz's move to Liverpool will be concluded this week as he is expected to begin the initial stages of his medical today, reports Sky Germany, before everything is finalised tomorrow and the move is announced. However, Völler did reveal what everyone was hoping would happen to the Köln native this summer: 'Everyone was kind of hoping that he would stay here in Leverkusen for another year and not leave until after the World Cup. That would have been my preferred solution. But this is absolutely fine.' Now, Leverkusen are left with a big rebuild of their squad after the departures of Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong to Liverpool, Jonathan Tah to Bayern and head coach Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid. The main earned from Wirtz's move can also be used to begin the major overhaul of the squad. GGFN | Jack Meenan

Ajax and Norwich City close to agreement on Medic
Jakov Medic (26) is leaving Ajax. The club has almost reached an agreement with Norwich City on the transfer of the Croatian, for which Ajax will receive approximately two million euros. The transfer is still subject to formalities and paperwork, but Ajax and Norwich City have almost reached an agreement on the fee. The Amsterdammers will receive around two million for Medic. This could increase slightly due to bonuses. Ajax paid around three million to St. Pauli for Medic in 2023. Advertisement Medic will be remembered at Ajax for his wonder goal in his debut match against Heracles Almelo, but after that, the defender mainly sat on the bench. Ajax loaned Medic to VfL Bochum last season. The club had an option to buy, which was only valid if they stayed in the Bundesliga, but they were relegated. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield
