The Toffees are reportedly eyeing a move for the Brazil international this summer. The 32-year-old has a contract until 2027 with Fener. Copy link Copied By Milos Kerkez replacement Rennes star Adrien Truffert is set to become Milos Kerkez's replacement at Bournemouth. Kerkez is reportedly closing in on a move to Liverpool. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano claims Truffert has signed a five-year deal contract with the Cherries. And the move is said to cost £11million with the left-back scheduled to be unveiled next week. Copy link Copied By Arsenal's Gyokeres warning Arsenal have threatened to 'freeze' their interest in Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres. That is because of Sporting's inflated financial demands for Gyokeres, who has been embroiled in quite the saga. According to Record, the Gunners will instead turn their attention to cheaper options. That includes RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins. It is said that the North Londoners initially believed that a fee of £60million would do but Sporting turned it down. Manchester United are also linked with the Sweden international. Copy link Copied Harwood-Bellis return EXCLUSIVE Burnley boss Scott Parker is keen to bring Taylor Harwood-Bellis back for a second spell at Turf Moor. Harwood-Bellis is keen to stay in the Premier League after Southampton's dismal relegation this season. The Clarets are interested in buying him — or, more likely, taking him on a loan deal with an option to buy. West Ham are also big admirers of Harwood-Bellis, 23. But they have a limited budget and would only make a move if they sell and need to fill a hole. Copy link Copied By Bryan Mbeumo alternatives Manchester United have identified two alternatives in case they miss out on Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo. According to Eze has also attracted interest from Aston Villa after leading Palace to their first ever FA Cup. However, SunSport understand the Eagles have slapped a whopping £65m release clause on their star player. The playmaker has a complicated valuation based on several factors at Selhurst Park. The Red Devils are also understood to be leading the race to sign Semenyo. Copy link Copied By Jorrel Hato interest Arsenal have been linked with Ajax ace Jorrel Hato ahead of the summer transfer window. According to The same report claims the Blues remain interested in the left-back despite the recent pause. Arsenal are said to have held positive talks with the Netherlands international's representatives with discussions over a six-year contract. Copy link Copied By Barcelona star targets Barcelona are targeting four top wingers ahead of the summer transfer window. Barca saw their attack explode last season with Ballon d'Or candidates Lamine Yamal and Raphinha contributing 102 goals. However, manager Hansi Flick wants to add even more firepower to his ranks in a bid to retain the Spanish league title and better last season's semi-final appearance in the Champions League. And Manchester United ace Marcus Rashford is among the Blaugrana's top targets… As are the below: Luis Diaz (Liverpool) Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao) Ivan Perisic Copy link Copied By Inside Gyokeres saga Viktor Gyokeres has been embroiled in a heated fall-out with Sporting Lisbon amid a turbulent transfer saga. And Gyokeres' agent has come in claiming he has proof of an alleged agreement that can allow the Manchester United and Arsenal target to leave for less than his astronomical release clause. The 27-year-old has come to blows with club bosses after trying to force through a dream move to the Premier League. The striker is furious with Sporting for going back on their word over a promise to lower his £84million asking price and reportedly plans not to play for the club again. The Sweden international believes he had a gentleman's agreement to leave the Portuguese champions for £50m with a further £8m in add-ons. But that claim has been denied by club president Frederico Varandas, who insisted he will not be bullied into letting Gyokeres move to the Premier League on the cheap this summer. Copy link Copied By 'Back for Watkins' Arsenal have put their pursuit of Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres on hold and reignited their interest in Aston Villa ace Ollie Watkins. The Gunners held talks with Gyokeres' agent over a summer move to the Emirates earlier this week.

Copy link Copied By Zirkzee stays, Hojlund leaves Manchester United have made a major decision regarding the future of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee at Old Trafford. According to Corriere dello Sport, United have decided to hold on to Zirkzee. This comes amid intense interest from Inter Milan for Hojlund, whom Man Utd are open to selling this summer. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter are so keen on the striker they are set to go "full speed ahead" for his signature. The two Italian sources claim the Red Devils are much more interested in a permanent deal. And Amorim's side value the striker at around £34-38million this summer. Inter prefer a loan deal with a purchase clause which is almost an obligation to buy in 2026. The Nerazzurri's offer would also include a hefty loan fee for the initial year. Copy link Copied By New transfer rule Massive transfer fees could soon become a thing of the past with players' chiefs wanting stars to have freedom to break their contracts for a fixed compensation payment. The international players' union FifPro has accused Fifa of dragging its feet over new transfer rules after the European Court agreed that ex-Arsenal and Chelsea star Lassana Diarra was illegally "handcuffed" by Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow a decade ago. Major agents claimed the October ruling was the first step towards a US-style 'free agency' for players, with fees becoming a thing of the past and stars only liable to pay the balance of their contracts when they switch clubs. Top clubs and Fifa are battling to resist such a move, while this summer Prem clubs already splashed out £375million before the full market officially opens on Monday. But now FifPro has told stars and their lawyers to be ready to test Fifa's failure to react and use European law to push for freedom of movement. Copy link Copied By Chelsea target reunion Chelsea wants to reunite with Marc Guehi for a low-cost summer contract. According to a recent source, the Blues seek to sign Guehi "for a reduced fee" in order to bolster their centre-back options for their Champions League comeback. Chelsea "are eyeing a good value deal and are aiming to use his contract situation to their advantage," according to GiveMeSport, as Guehi enters the last year of his contract with Crystal Palace. In 2021, Chelsea paid £18 million to Palace for Guehi. Since then, he has made a name for himself as a regular for England, and this season, he led Palace to FA triumph. Copy link Copied By Milan target Reijnders replacement AC Milan have made contact with Valencia over a move for 22-year-old midfielder Javi Guerra, Calciomercato reports. The expected fee is €25 million. The expectation is that the Spaniard would replace the departed Tijjani Reijnders and linked-away Yunus Musah, who is on the radar of Serie A champions Napoli. Guerra is currently representing his nation at the U-21 European Championships. Copy link Copied By PSG Ballon d'Or propaganda in full effect As the Club Wolrd Cup gets underway, so does the Ballon d'Or propaganda. Favourites such as Lamine Yamal and Mohamed Salah will miss out on the major summer club tournament, but fellow contender Ousmane Dembélé will be in America hoping to sway the masses. Luis Enrique: 'The Ballon d'Or should be Ousmane Dembélé. He deserves it. No doubts at all'. Whilst Ousmane Dembele said to L'Équipe: "Being one of the favorites for the Ballon d'Or is already a great victory." Copy link Copied By PSG agree Zabarny personal terms Staying on the south coast... Paris Saint-Germain and Ilya Zabarny have agreed personal terms on five year contract, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano states. Discussions continue with Bournemouth on transfer fee as talks are underway but no agreement sealed yet. The Cherries have already had one of their star centre-backs picked off them earlier in the window in the form of Dean Huijsen. Copy link Copied By Dibling on Porto radar The mecarto of Dibling continues to be of much interest for many clubs, with domestic interest stalling. FC Porto intends to secure the signing of Tyler Dibling, reveals Portuguese outlet Record. Porto are clearly in the process of getting their sheeps in order in case a transfer for attacking starlet Rodrigo Mora occurs, with PSG interested. The 19-year-old winger has scored four goals and provided two assists in 38 appearances for Southampton in 2024/25 season. The England under-21 international has a market value of €25 million, but Saints value him at a MUCH higher price. Copy link Copied By Morning reading Includes recap from last night's opening Club World Cup match and more on Liverpool's spending spree Copy link Copied By Jamie Gittens bidding war Arsenal are ready to rival London foes Chelsea for the signing of Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens. The Blues have been widely reported to be trying to seal a deal for Gittens. However, no deal has been agreed and that paves the way for the Gunners to swoop in for the winger. According to TEAMtalk, the North Londoners are very keen on the England Under-21 international. Copy link Copied By Anthony Gordon reminder Liverpool are weighing up a £100million move for Newcastle star Anthony Gordon ahead of the summer transfer window's restart on Monday. Talks were held last summer over an Anfield switch as the Magpies looked to bring in cash to satisfy the Premier League's financial rules. The Toon are now in much better shape with the balance sheets but could have to fend off more interest from the Reds for the Scouse winger. Boyhood Liverpool fan Gordon moved to St James' Park from Everton for £45million in January 2024 and even signed a new contract last October. Paris Saint-Germain ace Bradley Barcola is a target for the Merseysiders but the European champions do not want to lose the Frenchman. That means Liverpool could revive a move for Everton academy graduate Gordon.
