🤑 Transfer gossip: Salah to Barcelona? Raphinha to Liverpool? | OneFootball

It’s Sunday and the transfer rumour mill is in overdrive.

Here’s the best of today’s gossip.

🦁 Domestic deals

Mohamed Salah has been offered the chance to join Barcelona on a free transfer when his Liverpool contract expires in 2023. That’s a huge claim made by the The Mirror, who suggest Liverpool could be tempted to sell the Egyptian forward this summer rather than lose him for nothing in 12 months time.

The Mirror also claim that Liverpool have identified Raphinha as a possible replacement for Sadio Mané, and Takumi Minamino could be offered to Leeds United in a part-exchange deal for the Brazilian.

Manchester United are now in advanced talks for sign Frenkie de Jong after agreeing a fee in the region of €80m with Barcelona, according to Catalan outlet Sport. There are still suggestions that the player is not wholly convinced about moving to Old Trafford, however.

And Manchester United look set to miss out on Ajax starlet Jurrien Timber, with The Mirror reporting that the 20-year-old is more likely to sign a new contract and stay with the Dutch giants for now.

🇪🇺 On the continent

If Barcelona do sell De Jong to Manchester United, the Daily Mail report that Xavi has identified Manchester City playmaker Bernardo Silva as his dream replacement signing.

Juventus have entered the race to sign Barcelona defender Clément Lenglet as a replacement for the outgoing Giorgio Chiellini, report Sport. Tottenham have also been linked with the Frenchman in recent weeks.

Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has reiterated that Robert Lewandowski is under contract with the club until 2023 and there are no plans to sell him this summer, which could be bad news for Barcelona.

And Inter have been offered the chance to sign Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek for €20m this summer, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

🗣 From the horse’s mouth

“I’m looking to see what’s best for me and above all, for my career. From Tuesday, we’ll see what is the best.”

That was Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus’s response when asked about Arsenal’s reported interest in him.

According to the Daily Mail, the Gunners are willing to double the Brazilian’s current salary to convince him to join them.
