Inter Milan could try to steal one of Liverpool’s biggest gems

In addition to center midfielder Curtis Jones, Liverpool's young breakout center back Giovanni Leoni is another talented player Inter Milan are eyeing as a possible summer 2026 transfer target. According to a report from Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, the Nerazzurri are not ruling out a move for the young Italian this summer, as they remain interested in the former Parma phenom despite an awful injury this season. Leoni was dazzling for Liverpool in central defense at a time when veteran Ibrahima Konate was struggling in a contract year, but he tragically suffered a torn ACL in his debut against Southampton in the League Cup. Liverpool fans are high on Leoni, and the club undoubtedly is, too. They signed the 19-year-old for a hefty 26 million pounds this past summer at a tim...

Inter Milan eyeing 3 big names in midfield to transform their squad

After losing to Bodo Glimt in the Champions League, Inter Milan know they have a lot of work to do if they want to be Champions League winners again, and they have designs on transforming their squad into a younger, more explosive version - and that starts with rebuilding the midfield. New manager Christian Chivu, a former Inter midfielder himself, has done a wonderful job of taking over from former top manager Simone Inzaghi, and Tuttosport reports that for the 2026/27 season, he is eyeing changing the formation to a 3-4-2-1. To facilitate that transition, he wants to sign his guys in midfield. And he is looking at three dynamic box-to-box options in coveted Atalanta star Ederson, reclamation project Leon Goretzka of Bayern Munich fame in free agency, and another underrated Serie A ...

Real Madrid’s No. 1 midfield transfer target could cost just 50M

Real Madrid need to sign one more world-class midfielder, as their quality has dipped badly following the losses of legends Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. Vinicius Junior's old Ballon d'Or foe Rodri of Manchester City is their dream option right now. According to a report from Ramon Alvarez de Mon of Radio MARCA, Rodri is the player Real want in the middle of the park, and a deal for the Manchester City superstar could cost just 50 million euros. A fee that low for a Ballon d'Or winner in the defensive midfield seems almost unbelievable, but it makes sense when you look at the fact that Rodri had an ACL tear just two seasons ago, leading to a noticeable dip in athleticism and output. Plus, Rodri is about to be 30 years old this summer when June strikes, so he has limited future resal...

Liverpool will have another Curtis Jones transfer worry this summer

Liverpool center midfielder Curtis Jones is one of the most in-demand box-to-box midfielders in European football in 2026, and it sounds like Inter Milan are going to go even harder after him this summer. According to a report from Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, since Jones will be in the final year of his contract this summer window, Inter could come back for him due to the potential to sign him for less as a result of the contract situation. Inter Milan manager Christian Chivu is said to be smitten with the England international, and he would reportedly likely be a fan of the Nerazzurri going back after a player whom he fell for when watching him close and personal when the two European powerhouses clashed head-to-head in the Champions League. Under Chivu, a former Inte...

Chelsea are already considering selling one of their new stars

Chelsea surprised everyone when they pushed hard to sign former Manchester United top prospect Alejandro Garnacho, but he's been just as frustrating at Stamford Bridge as he was at Old Trafford last season. Per a report from Football.London, Chelsea are already so underwhelmed by Garnacho's performances this season that they are contemplating selling him in the summer 2026 transfer window if his displays do not improve before the 2025/26 Premier League season ends. In 16 league appearances this season, Garnacho, despite being a regular starter on the left wing, has just one goal with three assists. He is averaging 1.1 key passes and 1.0 fouls drawn per game. Those are decent numbers in terms of his creativity and one-on-one output, but they are honestly below average for a startin...

Juventus just lost out on their dream goalkeeper transfer target

Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio has been a major disappointment this season, but Atalanta star Marco Carnesecchi may no longer be an option to usurp him as a starter in 2026/27. Carnesecchi has been one of the elite goalkeepers in Serie A these last couple of seasons, and the young shot-stopper is coveted by all the elite clubs in European football with at least some interest in a keeper, including Arsenal. But now, according to transfer insider Matteo Moretto, Carnesecchi is set to sign a contract extension with Atalanta. His contract was set to expire in the 2027/28 season, which put some pressure on Atalanta to potentially sell this summer. Now, though, a new deal means Carnesecchi is locked in for the future in Bergamo, with Atalanta now pushing again for Champions Lea...

Inter Milan ambitiously want to upgrade team with two of Spanish football’s future superstars

Inter Milan are by far the best team in Serie A this season, but after getting humbled by Bodo Glimt in the Champions League after last year's debacle vs. PSG in the Final, the Nerazzurri want to add more star power - and they are already eyeing Nico Paz and Nico Williams for summer 2026. According to Italian outlet Tuttosport, Inter want a major summer overhaul this coming market. They want to be more physical and athletic with high intensity, quick players to bring in a new phase of football, and they may even switch to a 3-4-2-1 formation as they look to back Christian Chivu to the fullest. Nico Paz would be the dream signing to end all dream signings, but he would be almost impossible to sign. Real Madrid are guaranteed to buy him back for just a few million euros from Como, as P...

Atletico Madrid provide surprising Antoine Griezmann transfer twist

Orlando City have been in hot pursuit of Atletico Madrid legend Antoine Griezmann as the next superstar signing to MLS, but it looks like Los Rojiblancos are not ready to let the Frenchman go in 2026. In an appearance on Radio Marca, top La Liga transfer insider Matteo Moretto revealed that Atletico manager Diego Simeone and the entire club's structure itself do not want Griezmann to leave for MLS this summer. Atleti still feel that they need Griezmann in their team for his leadership and attacking quality. Moretto believes that while it all depends on Griezmann, his own opinion as a transfer expert is that the veteran forward may be convinced to stay at the club because of the factors at play within the walls who are pointing towards him staying. Per Moretto, Griezmann's future i...

Barcelona reach full agreement for their most obvious blockbuster transfer (with one catch)

Barcelona have been in long-standing negotiations with Manchester United for the potential permanent signing of Marcus Rashford on a 30 million euro clause, and it sounds like La Blaugrana have made their decision to keep him for more than just this season. Rashford never quite found the consistency or support he needed at Man United, constantly torn apart by the media and hoopla at Old Trafford. At Barcelona as a backup to Raphinha, Rashford has thrived, showing real finishing chops and technical quality in an inverted role for Hansi Flick's high-octane attack. According to a new report from Radio Catalunya program Tot Costa, Barcelona have reached a full agreement with Man United to sign Rashford permanently, and they have even already agreed on personal conditions with the England...

3 key players could be out of Arsenal this summer to further upgrades

Arsenal are the best team in the Premier League right now, but they are headed for another offseason of changes and upgrades. Ben White, Christian Norgaard, and Gabriel Martinelli are three notable players who could leave the club for new faces. According to a report from The Sun's Charlie Wyett, Martinelli is likely to leave if Arsenal are able to sign a better left winger, with Newcastle star Anthony Gordon high on the list. Meanwhile, White is looking for more playing time, and Norgaard, freshly signed this past summer transfer window over his former Brentford manager Thomas Frank at Tottenham Hotspur, is also interested in leaving the Emirates this year. Neither White nor Norgaard would be huge losses for Arsenal, as Norgaard is a backup player - though a good one - and White ...
