Real Madrid are preparing a significant bid for Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise, according to AS journalist Jose Felix Diaz. Club president Florentino Perez reportedly made a €150 million offer for Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez following his re-election, though it was understood to be a symbolic gesture to fulfil a campaign promise. Perez now intends to focus on securing Olise, potentially exceeding the €160 million offered for Kylian Mbappe in 2021.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have been linked with a move for Sporting CP attacker Francisco Trincao. Superagent Jorge Mendes has informed Sporting that a “massive” bid is expected to arrive this summer, potentially nearing Trincao’s €60 million release clause, according to Correio da Manha via Sport Witness. While no offer has been made yet, Liverpool are considered a potential suitor as they search for a replacement for Mohamed Salah.
Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is also attracting interest from Real Madrid, MARCA claims. Fernandez has openly expressed his desire to play for Los Blancos and has informed Chelsea of his wish to leave. New Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly identified Fernandez as a key target.
Tottenham Hotspur have begun negotiations with Koln for 19-year-old Said El Mala, as reported by TEAMtalk. Previous transfer attempts to Brighton and Brentford have stalled due to valuation disagreements and the player’s preferences, respectively. Tottenham are reportedly willing to sign both Said and his brother Malek, as requested by the El Mala family.
Barcelona are prepared to sell Marc Casado for around €20 million this summer, MARCA understands, in an effort to raise funds for incoming transfers. Manchester United have reportedly shown the strongest interest, with Atletico Madrid also among the potential suitors. Casado struggled to secure a regular starting position for Barcelona last season.
Other reported transfer activity includes Manchester City’s interest in Elliot Anderson of Nottingham Forest and Sandro Tonali of Newcastle, Chelsea’s enquiry about Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso, and AC Milan coach Ruben Amorim’s desire to sign PSG striker Goncalo Ramos.
