🤑 Transfer gossip: Two mega money defenders and a big Mbappé hint? | OneFootball

Are Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire about to become the most expensive defenders of all-time?

That and more in the latest round of transfer gossip.

Real talk 👏

Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt will finally choose his new club, report various Italian outlets. The Dutchman is expected to join Juventus after a breakthrough in talks.

He won’t be the only expensive defender on the move, if the Mirror are to be believed.

They report that Manchester City are willing to pay the £80m it will take to sign Harry Maguire from Leicester City.

Speaking to Marca, Thomas Lemar has insisted he will remain at Atlético Madrid this summer.

Brighton are on the verge of completing an £18m deal for Genk winger Leandro Trossard, Belgian newspaper HLN have confirmed.

Fake news 😡

According to the Sun, Unai Emery is pleading with Arsenal to cough up £80m for Wilfried Zaha.

But … that’s more than Arsenal’s entire budget for the season?

And we’re pretty sure Crystal Palace will demand more than that for the winger.

Fantasy football 🌟

Miguel Almiron only joined Newcastle United in January.

Now, though, the Magpies’ midfielder could be off to … Real Madrid?

According to the Mirror, the Paraguay international has impressed Madrid scouts during the Copa América.
