Slot’s reign saw Liverpool go from organised Premier League champions to a side, in the eyes of many, full of hesitation and doubt, which ultimately led to his exit from Anfield.

According to TEAMtalk, United have been speaking with the player’s representatives over a potential move to Old Trafford when the transfer window opens next week.

Chelsea have made formal contact with Dusan Vlahovic’s representatives over a potential free transfer move from Juventus this summer, according to CaughtOffside. The Serbian striker is set to leave Turin after contract renewal talks with Juventus broke down, making him one of the most sought-after free agents in European football.

Arsenal are weighing up a potential move for Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White as the summer transfer window approaches. The Gunners are prioritising reinforcements in their attacking department following a strong but ultimately bittersweet campaign in 2025/26. Mikel Arteta’s side ended their 22-year wait for the Premier League title but fell agonisingly short of Champions League glory, losing to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties. Arsenal have been heavily linked with Aston Villa playmaker Morgan Rogers in recent days, with the 23-year-old emerging as a key target for the north London club. However, PSG are also reportedly interested in Rogers, meaning Arsenal…
