Trending rumors
– The race to sign RB Leipzig’s teenage star, Yan Diomande, is heating up. Sky Germany report that Manchester City have verbally indicated their willingness to sign the 19-year-old winger. Diomande has been the subject of plenty of interest this summer, with Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid among those linked. City have not agreed personal terms with Diomande, unlike PSG and Madrid, and there remains uncertainty over whether a deal can be done, with Leipzig reportedly keen to keep the winger unless a large transfer fee is offered.
– AS Roma is interested in a move for Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford, report Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport. It comes as United are keen to sign Roma’s Manu Koné in a transfer switch that could see the player move in the other direction. So far, United are believed to be some way off Roma’s valuation of the France midfielder, though the arrival of Rashford could reduce that. The main point of contention for the Serie A side remains Rashford’s wage demands.
– Real Madrid are working on a deal for Manchester City midfielder Rodri, but they’re not the only ones. PSG have made contact with City over the Spain midfielder, according to French outlet RMC Sport. The 30-year-old won the Golden Ball as he guided his country to win this month’s World Cup final over Argentina. However, as he enters the final year of his City contract, he would move this summer.
– Inter Milan are considering a loan move for Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero, with the addition of a clause for a permanent move. That’s according to Gazzetta dello Sport, who report that Inter are keen to sign the center back but do not agree with Spurs’ immediate transfer valuation. For that reason, a loan with an obligation to sign the Argentina international is viewed as a possible compromise. Romero continues to be linked with an exit from Tottenham following the signings of center backs Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi this summer. The 28-year-old has also been linked with Barcelona and Atlético Madrid.
ESPN sources
– Arsenal are interested in Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior and have been exploring whether a move for the Brazil international would be possible for them financially, but the situation is at a very tentative stage, sources told ESPN. Should Vinícius fail to sign a new Madrid contract, sources said Arsenal are considered the only possible destination for Vinícius this summer. Those same sources also told ESPN that Vinícius’ situtation is linked to Madrid’s interest in Yan Diomande. Read
