The latest transfer speculation and news from the world of football – 19. 6.

The football season is over and we have met the champions of the top European leagues. Now it’s the turn of the summer transfer period, during which teams can try to strengthen their squad. Rumours and speculations about player transfers are therefore constantly increasing. Let’s take a look together at who has been the most talked about in recent hours and what transfers we can possibly look forward to.

PSG increases interest in Pogba

Paris Saint-Germain are trying to sign Paul Pogba from Manchester United again, according to Le Parisien. After signing Wijnaldum for free from Liverpool, PSG are continuing to reshape their midfield formation and want Pogba to lead it.

They reportedly have a good relationship with the player’s agent, Mino Raiola, which could help them attract him to Ligue 1. However, whether United want to let go of one of their main stars is another matter.

Chelsea continue their hunt for Hakimi

Acquiring defender Achraf Hakimi is one of the priorities for London-based Chelsea this transfer window. Inter are reportedly demanding £60m for the Moroccan.

The Blues are willing to offer Inter player compensation to reduce the transfer fee. The Nerazzurri are offering a pair of players, Marcos Alonso and Davide Zappacosta.

Liverpool have decided to sell Origi and Shaqiri

Liverpool are ready to sell Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri to attract new attacking talent, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Both players were relatively low in Jürgen Klopp’s hierarchy last season and could be ready to end their time at Anfield Road.

Leicester hope Tielemans will stay

Leicester City officials hope midfielder Youri Tielemans will remain part of the squad next season. The Belgium international has had an excellent season. He played 51 games for the Foxes in all competitions with a record of 9 goals and 6 assists.

Brendan Rodgers’ charges lost their Champions League place in the last matches, which may complicate the player’s stay. He could take the next steps of his career in the Liverpool, Manchester United or Juventus jersey.

Spurs continue their search for a coach

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on his Twitter account that Tottenham Hotspur are not planning to make a leadership offer to either of the duo of Paulo Fonseca or Gennaro Gattuso.

Spurs were also considering the return of Mauricio Pochettino. But he is untouchable for Paris Saint-Germain. The London club will therefore have to continue to look for a new coach.

Demba Ba will play in Switzerland

Former Newcastle and Chelsea striker Demba Ba will continue his career in the Swiss Super League. At the age of 36, he signed as a free agent for FC Lugano.

Harry Kane’s departure may affect other players

Former Tottenham player Darren Anderton has expressed that Harry Kane’s departure may affect his teammates as well. He was referring in particular to the team’s other offensive star, Heung-Min Son, whose situation is being monitored by many top European clubs.

The Korean international recorded interesting statistics in the recently finished season. He played a total of 51 games for the Spurs and scored 22 goals and 17 assists. Anderton thinks that if Kane leaves, Son will also consider his future at Spurs.

Locatelli responds to speculation

Italian international Manuel Locatelli is attracting interest from all over Europe and his suitors include Juventus and Arsenal in particular. However, the Sassuolo midfielder is reluctant to comment on the ‘gossip’ regarding his future.

“Transfer speculation is just talk. I will decide after the European Championship. I’m playing an important tournament and I’m fully focused on it. I’m only focusing on what’s happening on the pitch, the real things, everything else is just gossip, it’s useless to talk about it,” the Italian told reporters.

Wolves are interested in Diego Costa

Wolves are interested in acquiring former Chelsea and Atlético Madrid player Diego Costa. the 32-year-old Spanish striker has been a free agent since leaving Atlético in January and is interested in a move back to England. Clubs such as Benfica, Al-Nassr and Besiktas have also shown interest in his services recently.
