The biggest downside to Liverpool signing Jeremie Frimpong

Liverpool have waved their tearful goodbyes to homegrown superstar right back Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is ready for the next chapter in his illustrious career as Dani Carvajal's new platoon partner at Real Madrid. Now, Michael Edwards, Arne Slot, and the decision-makers at Liverpool have the task of replacing the England international this summer, and the main candidate they are focusing on is Slot's Dutch countryman Jeremie Frimpong, who starts for the Netherlands and 2023/24 Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. In his latest update, transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reported that Liverpool are "well-informed" regarding Frimpong's transfer situation and his 35-40 million euro release clause this summer. The 24-year-old is said to be one of the Reds top options at right back to r...

Rasmus Hojlund could join club he should have signed with instead of Man United

Manchester United are still having major issues with scoring goals up top, even after investing heavily in the striker position by signing two of the best up-and-coming forwards in Serie A in each of the past two summer transfer windows: Rasmus Hojlund of Atalanta in 2023 and Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna in 2024. Zirkzee is pretty clearly not a good fit for Manchester United, and Ruben Amorim hasn't really hid the fact that he doesn't see the Dutchman as part of his ideal starting lineup. But many around Manchester United, including former star striker Dimitar Berbatov, think Amorim could just as easily jettison both young No. 9's out of Old Trafford this summer if their performances don't step up soon. While Hojlund has shown more promise of the two, his positive streaks in front ...

Ruben Amorim is missing an important point about a Bruno Fernandes transfer

Manchester United playmaker Bruno Fernandes is at the top of Al-Hilal's wishlist before the Club World Cup begins on June 14, as he is one of the biggest names in the Premier League and vital to Man United being both on the precipice of the Europa League Final and avoiding further embarrassment in the Premier League. Al-Hilal's interest as turned the focus on Manchester United and if they want to cash in on an attacking midfielder who is now 30 years old and could churn the Red Devils a tidy profit, with the club already having a top prospect in the same position in Alejandro Garnacho. But former Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim isn't interested in parting ways with Fernandes. He maintained his interest in building his short-term project around Bruno, stating, via mufcmpb, “Bruno Fer...

Arsenal still want to sign West Ham’s most talented player

Arsenal have been in contention for the Premier League title in each of the past three seasons, but they are still in need of additional star power to get over the hump. Although goals at striker should be the priority, talkSPORT reports that Arsenal are renewing their interest in West Ham forward Mohammed Kudus. Primarily known for his one-on-one dribbling, Kudus is a versatile player who can start on the wings, as an attacking midfielder, or as a center forward. But while he has a lot of talent and can have some of the best weekends of any player in the Premier League, he has more than double the number of games in which he is a huge disappointment. Kudus has an 85 million pound release clause in his West Ham contract, so, this point, it's mostly been Saudi Pro League clubs linked ...

Manchester United make a play for one of the world’s most underrated GKs

Manchester United have been disappointed with Andre Onana's continued inconsistency and costly errors in goal, so goalkeeper has become a secondary need for the team this summer. Now, Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto are reporting for GiveMeSport that the Red Devils have begun initial talks for Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic. The name "Milinkovic-Savic" used to be famous for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, but ever since SMS left for the Saudi Pro League, Vanja, his younger brother, has become a star in his own right. Serie A fans know that Milinkovic-Savic is one of the best goalkeepers in the league. Onana used to be a great goalkeeper in Italy for Inter Milan, too, but Milinkovic-Savic is even better, making fewer mistakes and more game-saving stops for the B...

Top Trent Alexander-Arnold replacement wants to join Liverpool

With homegrown star Trent Alexander-Arnold closing the chapter on his Liverpool career and heading to Real Madrid, the Reds are in need of a new right back with a similar skill-set. Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong has long been rumored as a possible replacement, and The Athletic's David Ornstein reports, via LFCVine, that the Dutchman would be interested in joining Liverpool if they make an approach. Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title last season as an undefeated side and were in the race until this past weekend in the current campaign, with Frimpong playing a vital role last season and an important, albeit lesser, one in the 2024/25 season. One of the best attacking right backs in European football, Frimpong is arguably second to only Alexander-Arnold himself in that regard,...

Outrageous Bruno Fernandes wage offer complicates things for Manchester United

Al-Hilal have been knocking at the door of Manchester United star playmaker Bruno Fernandes for years, but with the Club World Cup coming, this will be their stiffest challenge for the Portuguese international. According to a report from GiveMeSport's Ben Jacobs, the Saudi Pro League side are now offering Fernandes a three-year contract with wages exceeding 65 million pounds per season. That contract offer has to be awfully tempting for Fernandes, who currently makes around 15 million pounds per season at Manchester United. Even though the Red Devils may not want to sell their captain and best overall player, especially with Ruben Amorim strongly favoring him and even saying in public he's not for sale, the decision may not be theirs to make. A raise of more than quadruple of a salar...

Aston Villa eyeing high-risk, high-reward forward as Marcus Rashford alternative

Aston Villa have been a disappointment in the Premier League this season, falling outside the top six after 35 Matchdays following a top-four finish in 2023/24. Loan acquisitions Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio have had their moments but have been unable to turn the tide for the club. If Rashford and Manchester United both can't come up with reasonable deals, Villa will be forced to look for alternatives up top on the transfer market. Porto star striker Samu Aghehowa is reportedly one of those alternatives Aston Villa could go after, per Portuguese outlet Record. Samu was on the books at Atletico Madrid and broke out at Deportivo Alaves last season as one of the most promising young strikers in LaLiga, electrifying with his ability to turn something out of nothing. Samu almost joi...

Manchester United have a different striker as their priority over Victor Osimhen

Manchester United will be in the market for a new striker on the summer 2025 transfer window for what seems like the third year running. According to a report from Foot Mercato's Santi Aouna and Sebastien Denis, Man United currently have a shortlist of four strikers that includes Victor Osimhen from Napoli, Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres, and Ipswich Town's Liam Delap as well as another unnamed player. Of those four, Gyokeres is their top target. It isn't surprising to see that Manchester United have a wide net of players they are interested in at striker, and the unnamed European No. 9 could very well be Hugo Ekitke of Eintracht Frankfurt or Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig - both talented young Bundesliga marksmen are wanted by other elite Premier League sides like Arsenal, Chelsea, and ev...

Chelsea get an unexpected new Joao Felix transfer suitor
