Fresh Premier League transfer offer emerges for Sevilla star
Sevilla defender Loic Bade is expected to receive fresh transfer offers ahead of the 2025/26 season. Premier League side Aston Villa openly pursued him at the start of 2025, but they were unable to complete a transfer deal in time and he remained in Andalucia as the transfer window slammed shut at thee start of February. Sevilla were rumoured to be open to a sale with the club looking at deals to replace him as they lined up a replacement options, but the French defender indicated his preference was to stay at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. The end of the window settled the situation in the short term and Bade will be important for Sevilla in the final months of the campaign. However, the poor financial situation at Sevilla means player sales are certain over the summer months, with Dodi Lukebakio potentially moving on if the right offer comes in for the Belgian striker after rejecting a switch to the Saudi Pro League. Bade is also on the list of possible departures from the club and the Premier League remains as his most likely destination but it may no longer be at Villa Park. As per reports from Chelsea have highlighted Bade as a candidate to bolster their defence, as Enzo Maresca looks for the right balance in his backline. Axel Disasi has been loaned to Villa – after Unai Emery missed out on Bade in January – and he could complete a permanent move if his loan ends strongly. Benoit Badiashile and Trevoh Chalobah are candidates to leave Stamford Bridge with Maresca unconvinced by the majority of his defenders. Chelsea are considering a €30m offer to kickstart talks before the end of the season, but Sevilla will aim to increase that fee, to ensure they bring in the maximum price for a highly rated asset.

Man United ready to pursue €60m teenager that Amorim was keen to sign at Sporting CP
Manchester United are reportedly plotting to recruit Porto teenager Rodrigo Mora in a transfer that would surely appease Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese manager was appointed in November as a replacement for Erik ten Hag. Nevertheless, he's still operating with a squad built under the tutelage of his Dutch predecessor. The only two additions made with Amorim in charge were Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven who joined the club in January. Nevertheless, the 39-year-old's true revolution could begin in the summer when the club is expected to offload a host of 'Ten Hag signings' and replace them with Amorim's new recruitments. According to Man Utd will be looking to sign Mora who has been an obsession for the the club's manager since his days at Sporting CP. The 17-year-old is a Porto youth product who has already cemented himself as a regular starter in the club's first team despite his tender age. The attacking midfielder has made 25 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring four goals and providing his teammates with three assists. Transfermarkt estimates the player's value at €10 million, but reveals his contract includes a buyout clause worth €60 million. The source describes him as a dynamic player with a strong character, as he could often be seen requesting the ball. Mora is also tactically intelligent, and has the ability to adapt to different roles in addition to his original position as an attacking midfielder, as he's able to play on either wing. Hence, the report insists the coveted teenager would perfectly fit within Amorim's 3-4-2-1 system. He would be an important addition in the final third, adding some much-needed depth to the attacking department.
