Chelsea youngster wanted by Feyenoord

Dutch club Feyenoord are preparing to launch a bid for Omari Hutchinson.

The Chelsea winger, 20, starred on loan at Ipswich last season and could be sent out again in 2024-25.

Voetbal International say Feyenoord will make a bid if they can’t keep Newcastle winger Yankuba Minteh.

The Gambian teenager scored 11 times on loan in Rotterdam this season yet the Toon are tipped to cash in on him to help their PSR outlook.

Paulo Dybala discusses transfer plans

Roma striker Paulo Dybala is available for just £10m this summer due to the release clause in his contract.

Having rejected approaches from Manchester United and Tottenham in 2019, the Argentine has discussed his plans with The Athletic.

“I’ve been in Italy for almost 12 years and I’m having an incredible time,” he said.

“It’s difficult for me to see myself outside Italy, because I grew up and became a man here.

“Italy has given me everything. It’d be hard to leave.

“But of course you always have the curiosity and wonder how you’d do in leagues as good as LaLiga and the Premier League, where there are great teams and great players.”

Kylian Mbappe speaks out on future as Arsenal hopes die

There are still lingering hopes among some Arsenal fans that Kylian Mbappe will sign for the club when he leaves Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Real Madrid are said to be preparing to announce his arrival as a free agent after the Champions League final.

The French striker has been speaking to CNN about his upcoming move, without naming his destination.

“I will leave my country for the first time,” he said.

“It’s going to be an amazing experience and I can’t wait to be in my new club. I want to win trophies … When you speak about football, [it’s about] winning trophies, being with new teammates.

“Now, I have my contract with PSG … Everybody knows that it’s soon finishing and we’re going to see what happens.”

On whether he regrets signing a new contract with PSG two years ago, he added: “It was more than just staying at PSG.

“It was the World Cup in Qatar. It was many things around these things. It was a big decision, difficult decision … but I don’t regret anything.

“Of course, in a career, you have to take difficult decisions and it’s what I did, but I became the all-time top scorer with PSG. I just want to remember the best things … It was not an easy situation and I wish nobody to live that.”

Man Utd learn Gleison Bremer decision

Juventus defender Gleison Bremer had emerged as a target to improve the Manchester United backline this summer.

Indeed, reports in Italy claim that Bianconeri had agreed to let the Brazilian leave this summer for a fee similar to the approximate £60m release clause which will become active in his contract next summer.

However, Gazzetta dello Sport report on a new decision being taken by Juve.

Incoming coach Thiago Motta sees him as essential to his plans for next season and will not sanction a transfer.

Arsenal eye Joshua Zirkzee breakthrough

A new striker is top of Arsenal’s agenda this summer and a deal for Joshua Zirkzee is certainly on the cards.

Although the Dutchman has a relatively cheap £34m release clause in his Bologna contract, Corriere dello Sport say his agent will demand a hefty £13m fee to cut the deal.

The report says that Arsenal are comfortable with that figure as transfer chief Edu has a good working relationship with the agent in question, Kia Joorabchian.

AC Milan are said to have balked at that fee despite their desire to replace Olivier Giroud with Zirkzee.

Calciomercato claim that Juventus are quickly joining the running too, having hired the striker’s former coach at Bologna, Thiago Motta.
