The summer transfer window may not be open yet, but the rumour mill is already churning. AC Milan and Juventus are reportedly interested in signing Lille right-back Tiago Santos. While Stefano Pioli’s future at AC Milan remains uncertain, the club is still looking ahead to the summer transfer window. Milan is also keeping tabs on Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee and Lille striker Jonathan David, who is also on Napoli’s radar. The positive relationship between Milan and Lille, due to previous signings like Rafael Leão, Mike Maignan, and Tiago Djaló, could play a role in the potential transfer of Santos. Despite the interest from both Milan and Juventus, no official offer has been made by either club yet.
Inter Milan is also looking to strengthen their attacking options with a potential move for Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee. Additionally, they are considering Genoa’s Albert Gudmundsson, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport. However, Inter is adamant about not losing any of their key players during the summer transfer window, despite having a keen interest in Zirkzee. With a reported release clause of €85 million for Marcus Thuram, Inter is focused on adding firepower without compromising their starting lineup.
Bayer Leverkusen has set their sights on Real Madrid’s 21-year-old centre-back Rafa Marín. However, Los Blancos are only willing to let Marín leave on loan or permanently with a buy-back option. In addition to Marín, Bayer Leverkusen is also looking at Bologna’s Riccardo Calafiori, who is valued at €25 million. Real Madrid, on the other hand, is actively pursuing AC Milan’s Malick Thiaw, who is valued at €30 million. The tug-of-war between the clubs over these young talents could make for an intriguing summer transfer window.
Despite renewed interest from Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur remains in pole position to sign Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher. The 24-year-old has expressed a desire to leave Stamford Bridge with only one year left on his contract. Newcastle United had previously been turned down in 2023 but is now back in the running for Gallagher’s signature. It will be interesting to see how this transfer saga unfolds in the coming months.
Colorado Rapids goalkeeper Adam Beaudry is set to train with Arsenal in London, as reported by Tom Bogert. The 18-year-old USA youth international has caught the eye of clubs abroad and could be making a move in the near future. On the other hand, Aston Villa is closely monitoring Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville. The 22-year-old could be on the move if Leeds fail to secure promotion back to the Premier League. After being named the EFL Championship Player of the Year, Summerville’s market value has skyrocketed to over £30 million, making him an attractive prospect for Villa.
The transfer market is heating up with clubs across Europe vying for top talent to strengthen their squads for the upcoming season. As negotiations progress and deals start to materialize, fans can expect an exciting summer transfer window with plenty of twists and turns along the way.
