TRENDING RUMORS
- Arsenal are afraid that their striker search could drag on well into the summer, and boss Mikel Arteta wants a signing in place within two weeks. The Daily Mail reports that Arteta has grown frustrated with negotiations with Sporting CP for Viktor Gyökeres, and if progress isn't made he will move onto alternatives. The Sun adds that Arsenal are digging their heels in regarding Benjamin Sesko's valuation while his club, RB Leipzig, want upwards of £70m -- but the Gunners suggest £60m is fair. Leipzig need to bring in funds to rebuild their squad and had hoped to move on Xavi Simons after the attacking midfielder asked to leave, but his recent form hasn't attracted clubs. Arsenal still haven't made an offer for Sesko.

- After Nico Williams turned down Barcelona to sign a 10-year contract with Athletic Club, Mundo Deportivo has reported that the Blaugrana's priority for the wing is Liverpool's Luis Díaz with Manchester United's Marcus Rashford being their second choice. The report claims that the 28-year-old Diaz wants to join them but feels now is not the right time to be pushing for a move. Rashford dreams of playing for Barca and is willing to lower his salary to join them and isn't wanted by Ruben Amorim, while the Red Devils value the 27-year-old at £40m and don't want a loan.
- Corriere dello Sport has suggested that "these are decisive hours" in Juventus' efforts to sign Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho, with sporting director Damien Comolli intensifying his contacts with the 25-year-old having completed a deal for Jonathan David. The Bianconeri are in agreement with the Red Devils regarding either a swap deal involving midfielder Douglas Luiz or a transfer worth €25m plus bonuses, but there isn't an agreement on the contract despite Sancho being willing to accept a salary reduction.
- Dusan Vlahovic's future remains uncertain with Juventus wanting to offload the striker, who has already turned down offers from the Saudi Pro League and Fenerbahce. Approaches made by Spanish and English clubs also haven't turned into real negotiations, so Gazzetta dello Sport has offered an insight into possible destinations in Italy. AC Milan could be an option, Internazionale could move if he eventually leaves as a free agent next summer, while Napoli could make an effort to sign the 25-year-old in August.
- Nick Woltemade has reiterated to VfB Stuttgart that he wants to join Bayern Munich, as reported by Sky Sport Deutschland. There is still no written offer from the Bavarians and they aren't willing to let Stuttgart know what their demands for the striker. The Bundesliga clubs still remain in contact and Stuttgart don't see the 23-year-old as untouchable despite wanting to keep him.
