Transfer Gossip Roundup: Juventus Talks with Man Utd, West Ham Eye Smith Rowe, Chelsea Targets, Newcastle Budget

West Ham and Arsenal Transfer Gossip

In the world of football, transfer news is always an exciting topic to follow. Fans are eager to know about their favorite club’s latest moves in the transfer market. In recent times, West Ham and Arsenal have been making headlines with their interest in several players. According to reports from various sources, West Ham is keen on signing Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal if they manage to secure Declan Rice’s services. The 22-year-old English midfielder has shown a lot of potential at Arsenal and can be a valuable addition to any squad. However, Ajax may also pose competition for West Ham as they are demanding £45m for Edson Alvarez. The 25-year-old Mexican midfielder could replace Rice if he leaves the Hammers this summer. Bayern Munich has been linked with Declan Rice too but recent developments suggest that Arsenal may become favorites to sign him over Bayern Munich due to his high price tag. Manchester City is reportedly holding talks with RB Leipzig for Josko Gvardiol. The Croatian defender could be a good addition for Manchester City given his young age (21 years) and defensive abilities.

Chelsea’s Transfer Targets

On another side of London, Chelsea seems busy trying to strengthen their squad ahead of next season. Reports suggest that Chelsea has opened talks with Southampton concerning Belgian midfielder Romeo Lavia who is only 19 years old. Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana has agreed in principle terms with Chelsea; however, Inter rejected Chelsea’s initial bid worth £34m for the 27-year-old Cameroonian goalkeeper. Mike Maignan from AC Milan might also join Chelsea as rumors circulated that they’re interested in acquiring him too. Ruben Loftus-Cheek remains uncertain regarding his future at Stamford Bridge following Paolo Maldini’s sacking along Frederic Massara.

Newcastle United’s Transfer Budget

Newcastle United has been heavily linked with a move for Leicester City’s James Maddison. The 26-year-old Englishman is thought to be Newcastle United’s top midfield target, but they also have their eyes on Brighton’s Moises Caicedo, Manchester United’s Scott McTominay and Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher. According to reports, Newcastle United will have around £75m in transfer funds this summer. However, the Athletic suggests that the club may have up to £100m or even £150 million available.
