Man City exodus?

Pep Guardiola’s side may be one of the most successful in English football history, but after beating Inter 1-0 in the Champions League final, his Manchester City squad is braced for a string of exits this summer.

Arsenal struggling to sell Pepe

FootballTransfers has exclusively revealed the problems that Arsenal are set to have selling record signing Nicolas Pepe.

The Gunners have slashed their asking price for the Ivory Coast international winger, and while there have been whispers of Premier League interest, the signs are that it could be tough for Mikel Arteta’s side to find a buyer at the price they are asking.

Ten Hag’s Man Utd preferences revealed

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag’s summer transfer plans have been laid bare, with the manager’s four primary targets laid out in order.

Havertz hope for Chelsea and Real Madrid

Chelsea want rid of Kai Havertz while Real Madrid appear reticent to buy at the price that is being asked for him. Both sides have received a boost in this regard, though.

Real Madrid have a string of options in attack they could use to replace Karim Benzema next season, and while Havertz may fit to some extent, who is the best option on the table? Find out here.

Barca’s ‘biggest signing of all time’?

Barcelona may have missed out on Lionel Messi, but they are close to signing a player who could be their “biggest signing of all time”, according to one pundit.

Messi branded ‘ugly and incomprehensible’

Meanwhile, the MLS club are closing in on more additions – and their squad is starting to shape up in an interesting way.
