– Manchester United hold an interest in versatile Tottenham defender Archie Gray, who can play across the defense or in midfield, according to TEAMtalk. United will face plenty of competition for the 20-year-old’s signature, though, as Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea and Aston Villa are also interested. All four clubs are expected to attempt a move if Spurs are relegated from the Premier League, and if that does happen, a deal could be completed for around £50 million.
– Manchester United have added Fulham and USMNT left back Antonee Robinson to their short list of options for the position, says Football Insider. Robinson, 28, has been consistently linked with a move to Liverpool but United are also looking to sign a left back to provide competition for Luke Shaw and Patrick Dorgu, with Tyrell Malacia expected to leave. On Tuesday, the club was being linked with Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies.
– Following the announcement that Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, TalkSPORT has suggested that the winger has interest from the Saudi Pro League and Major League Soccer. The 33-year-old has reached an agreement with the Reds that means he will be allowed to depart for free. Saudi Arabia has long been linked as a future destination and the league is prioritizing the Egypt international as its flagship signing of the summer, while there is also interest from MLS.
– Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez is Barcelona’s priority as they aim to sign a No. 9 striker in the summer, reports Mundo Deportivo, while Atlético could look to replace him with Strasbourg’s Joaquín Panichelli. In another report, Mundo Deportivo states that the Blaugrana’s alternatives to Alvarez are Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen and Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic. They aren’t interested in Manchester United’s Benjamin Sesko or AC Milan winger Rafael Leão.
– Barcelona have informed Internazionale that they will start negotiations to sign center back Alessandro Bastoni, as reported by Sport. Talks will begin after the international break and the Spanish club will look to offer a set fee, plus the option to include a player in the deal, with Inter wanting a total package of around €60 million. Inter are reported to be interested in including Barcelona defender Gerard Martín, but the Catalan side doesn’t want the 24-year-old to leave and intend to offer other players instead.
