Cristian Romero looked set to anchor Tottenham’s defence for years after signing a contract extension last August, but a summer exit now appears inevitable. The Argentina international had been named captain by Thomas Frank following a key role in Spurs’ Europa League triumph, with his deal running until 2029. Less than twelve months on, the situation has shifted dramatically after a turbulent domestic season left the club in a very different position. Spurs endured a disappointing campaign, Frank lost his job, and Roberto De Zerbi eventually steered the club away from relegation danger. Romero also publicly criticised the club’s hierarchy,…

Manchester United and Liverpool are both reportedly eyeing a move for Newcastle United striker Nick Woltemade, according to Caught Offside. The 24-year-old German joined Stuttgart as a free agent in 2024 and made 20 goal contributions across all competitions during his time in the Bundesliga. Newcastle were impressed enough by those performances to splash a significant fee on Woltemade last summer, bringing him to the Premier League. He made a bright start at St. James’ Park but struggled to maintain his form and could not force his way into the starting line-up during the second half of last season. Newcastle…

Voetbal International journalist Joost Blaauwhof reports that Rangers have opened formal talks with PSV over a permanent transfer for the 24-year-old.

Everton have reportedly held discussions over a potential deal to sign Manchester United forward Ethan Wheatley, according to The Athletic. The 20-year-old came through the Red Devils’ youth system before making his first-team debut a couple of years ago, but has struggled to break into the starting line-up at Old Trafford. Wheatley has gone out on loan on several occasions over the past few years in order to play regularly and continue developing his career. He featured for Michael Carrick’s side in the first pre-season friendly against Wrexham last month, but failed to secure his place in the squad for…
Liverpool have turned their attention to AFC Bournemouth winger Rayan as they search for a marquee signing to fill Mohamed Salah’s void. The Reds have already brought in Victor Muñoz from Osasuna, but the youngster is not considered capable of replacing Salah on his own. Liverpool initially pursued Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, but that deal collapsed after the player moved closer to joining Real Madrid instead. Attention then shifted to Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola, with Liverpool opening talks and willing to spend around £86m to secure the deal. However, PSG are demanding up to £145m for Barcola, whose…

Preston are set to lose captain Ben Whiteman to Wrexham in a £3m deal, with the 30-year-old having spent five and a half years at Deepdale. Middlesbrough’s loss is arguably even more damaging, with Championship Player of the Year Hayden Hackney departing for Everton in a deal worth an initial £16.5m. Hackney, now working under David Moyes at Everton, leaves a significant void at the Riverside that manager Kim Hellberg must address…
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly expressed interest in signing Eintracht Frankfurt forward Jean-Matteo Bahoya, according to The Athletic. The 21-year-old Frenchman began his youth career at FE Trélazé before spending time with ES Andard Brain during his early development years. Bahoya joined Angers’ academy at just nine years old, eventually rising through the ranks to make his first team debut in 2023. His performances at Stade Raymond Kopa caught the eye of Eintracht Frankfurt, who moved to purchase him the following year. Despite making the switch to the Bundesliga, Bahoya has largely served as a rotational option, registering eight goal contributions…
Liverpool are reported to hold a concrete interest in signing Brighton and Hove Albion winger Yankuba Minteh, according to TEAMtalk. The 22-year-old Gambian winger has attracted significant attention from the Merseyside club as they look to strengthen their attacking options this summer.
