Manchester United are reportedly in a battle with Manchester City to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, 23. A good World Cup for England could see his price tag exceed £100m, prompting both Manchester clubs to act quickly this summer.
Fernandes’ Future in Doubt
The future of Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, 31, is uncertain. Paris St-Germain and Bayern Munich may make big-money offers for the Portugal midfielder this summer. However, Manchester United are determined to keep Fernandes, despite a reported £57m release clause in his contract.
Competition for Thuram
Liverpool are reportedly set to overhaul their underperforming squad this summer. As part of their revamp, Liverpool could face competition from Premier League rivals Manchester United and Newcastle for Juventus’ 25-year-old France midfielder Khephren Thuram.
Interest in Senesi
Bournemouth’s Argentina centre-back Marcos Senesi, 28, reportedly wants Barcelona to make a move for him this summer. However, a host of Premier League clubs including Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Everton, Tottenham, Newcastle and Sunderland are also interested.
Premier League sides Tottenham and Newcastle are also reportedly interested in Brighton and Netherlands goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, 23, who could be a summer option for Bayern Munich.
