Transfer speculation is beginning to build ahead of the summer window, with several major European clubs linked to potential moves. However, the level of certainty varies, with some reports appearing more tentative than others.

Bayern dismiss Olise rumours

Bayern Munich are not expected to consider offers for Michael Olise, despite reports suggesting Liverpool could test their resolve with a bid exceeding £170m. According to BBC Sport, the German club view the 24-year-old France forward as a key part of their plans, making a transfer unlikely.

United focus on midfield and youth options

Manchester United are among the clubs already being linked with multiple targets. BBC Sport reports they are set to make a formal approach for Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali at the end of the season, as they look to strengthen in central areas.

The club are also said to be monitoring Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly. The 19-year-old has found regular opportunities limited, which could influence his situation heading into the summer.

Uncertainty over Rashford’s next step

Marcus Rashford’s future remains unclear. BBC Sport reports that Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan are both keeping track of developments, while Barcelona continue to assess whether to make his current loan move permanent.

If no agreement is reached, other clubs could enter the picture. Aston Villa are among those linked, particularly if they are unable to secure a deal for Jadon Sancho.

Arsenal and Liverpool linked with attacking targets

Arsenal are continuing to assess options in attack, with interest reported in Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez. However, a move for Paris Saint-Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is not currently expected, with Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon also under consideration.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have been linked with Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye in a potential move that would attract attention given the rivalry between the clubs. Manchester United are also reported to be monitoring Ndiaye, along with James Garner, as part of a possible combined deal.

Defensive targets and wider interest

Elsewhere, Newcastle are said to be considering Arsenal defender Ben White as a potential long-term replacement for Kieran Trippier.

In Spain, Atletico Madrid have been linked with a move for Barcelona forward Ferran Torres, while left-back Alejandro Balde is attracting interest from several Premier League sides.

Sunderland could also face a challenge to retain Lutsharel Geertruida, with a number of top-flight clubs reportedly monitoring his situation.
