Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel is reportedly willing to stay at the Allianz Arena if the board prioritizes two specific signings for his squad in the upcoming summer transfer window. Firstly, Tuchel is keen on acquiring a defensive midfielder following the breakdown of their move for Fulham’s João Palhinha last summer. Additionally, he is looking to add a playmaker to the team. The names being thrown around as potential targets include Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes, Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, and Everton’s Amadou Onana.
Aston Villa’s manager Unai Emery is reportedly interested in bringing Villarreal midfielder Álex Baena to his squad. The 22-year-old has been identified as a potential reinforcement for Villa ahead of next season’s Champions League campaign. However, competition could come from Tottenham Hotspur, who are also said to be eyeing the young midfielder. Baena has previously been linked with a move to Barcelona as well.
Girona forward Artem Dovbyk is generating interest from Serie A clubs, with Juventus and Napoli among those linked to the 26-year-old Ukraine international. The latest reports suggest that any deal for Dovbyk will require an offer meeting his release clause, which is set at €40 million. This high valuation indicates the quality and potential that Dovbyk possesses.
Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is set to enter the final year of his contract at Anfield, sparking discussions about his future with the club. The management is keen to understand Salah’s intentions beyond the upcoming summer transfer window, especially as he has been linked with clubs in Saudi Arabia. The “crunch talks” will play a crucial role in determining Salah’s future at Liverpool.
Juventus winger Federico Chiesa is reportedly in talks for a new contract with the club. The 26-year-old is looking to extend his stay with the Bianconeri, but negotiations seem to be focused on his salary demands. Chiesa’s representatives are reportedly seeking a contract that would see him earn a salary similar to that of forward Dusan Vlahovic, who is expected to earn around €12 million per season by 2026.
Sheffield United are revisiting their interest in Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall. The Blades were close to signing the 27-year-old in January before he opted for a loan move to Besiktas. With Worrall struggling for first-team opportunities at Forest, Sheffield United see an opportunity to strengthen their defense by bringing him on board in the upcoming summer transfer window.
