Manchester United are closely monitoring Villarreal midfielder Pape Gueye. The club views the Senegal international as an ideal replacement for Casemiro.<\/p>\n<p>Questions over Pep Guardiola\u2019s future at Manchester City continue to swirl. Qatar Stars League outfit Al-Ahli, where the Spaniard spent two years of his playing career, have emerged as a serious contender to lure the manager away from the Etihad.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool are preparing a $117.8 million (\u20ac100 million, \u00a387.4 million) bid for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga. The Spanish outfit views such a lucrative offer difficult to ignore. At the same time, Liverpool and Man Utd will not pay the $67.5 million (\u00a350 million) asking price for Wolves youngster Mateus Man\u00e9 despite mounting interest.<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s Plan A is to bring former boss Mauricio Pochettino back to north London this summer, but the Argentine\u2019s deal with the U.S. men\u2019s national team could complicate matters. Newcastle United are prioritizing defensive reinforcements for the 2026\u201327 season and have their sights set on signing Wolves left back Hugo Bueno. The Magpies face competition from Spurs.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea are ready to pounce should Real Madrid winger Rodrygo opt to leave the club this summer. Arsenal, Tottenham, Al-Hilal and Inter are also keen on the Brazilian. Rodrygo\u2019s future at Real Madrid could come down to whether the club hires J\u00fcrgen Klopp this summer. The winger believes he would get more opportunities under the former Liverpool boss, which would convince him to stay at the Bernab\u00e9u.<\/p>\n<p>Off the contract front, despite Kobbie Mainoo\u2019s resurgence under new boss Michael Carrick, Man Utd have not yet reopened contract talks with the midfielder. But the club fully intends to lock down the England international to a long-term deal.<\/p>\n<p>Nottingham Forest are set to reignite their interest in Inter midfielder Davide Frattesi. After seeing an offer for the Italian swatted away last summer, the Tricky Trees are prepared to come back with serious money. Atl\u00e9tico Madrid talisman Antoine Griezmann must choose between finishing out the season in Spain\u2019s capital or making the move to the United States to join Orlando City. The MLS outfit set a Mar. 26 deadline for the Frenchman.<\/p>\n<p>Cristiano Ronaldo is interested in returning to Champions League soccer next season. As of now, it is unclear whether the Portuguese icon would return to La Liga or fulfill his plans elsewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea, Liverpool and other clubs feature in transfer update on Camavinga, Rodrygo and more details<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7124,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[172,1397,1163],"tags":[983,1033,1047],"class_list":["post-7125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-epl","category-transfer-news","category-transfers","tag-agents","tag-brazilian-football","tag-champions-league"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7125","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7125"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7125\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7125"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7125"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7125"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
