TRENDING RUMORS

– Real Madrid will launch a €150 million offer to sign Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise if Florentino Perez wins the club’s presidential election this weekend, reports The Guardian. The 79-year-old is standing for re-election against Enrique Riquelme — who has claimed he will target Erling Haaland and Rodri — and has made a pledge to offer a fee of €150 million to bring in an unnamed player. While Perez denied this was Olise in his news conference a few days ago, the report claims that the winger is in fact the No. 1 target. The 24-year-old has been a key player for Bayern since signing for €60 million from Crystal Palace in 2024, scoring 42 goals and assisting 54 times in just over 100 appearances.

– Manchester United are stepping up interest in various left backs, with TEAMtalk reporting interest in three different options for the summer. Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall is reported to be the preferred candidate for the role, though his £80 million valuation could restrict any possibility of an exit. Elsewhere, Eintracht Frankfurt defender Nathaniel Brown is also an option, though he has reportedly already agreed a move to Bayern, and United could also move for Barcelona academy graduate Alejandro Balde as he faces an uncertain future because he only has two years left on his contract.

– Bayern Munich are very interested in signing Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers, according to Christian Falk. The 23-year-old playmaker has impressed plenty of teams over the past season, with 14 goals and 12 assists to his name in all competitions. That has seen links with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City, while Bayern are also in the mix. However, the report adds that the Bavarian side could find a deal tough due to interest from Premier League clubs.

– Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli is another name on the Bayern shortlist, as Christian Falk claims that the club have been following the Brazil star for some time. A €50 million fee has been set by the Gunners, amid their own search for another option on the left wing. But a move to Bayern is described as difficult, as Martinelli would not want to be competing with Olise and Luis Díaz for playing time.

– Real Madrid are showing interest in West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes this summer, according to AS. The 21-year-old continues to be linked with a move following the Hammers’ relegation from the Premier League, with reports claiming that an £80 million valuation has been set. Madrid are the latest team to join the race and join Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United.
