TRENDING RUMORS
– Liverpool are ready to offer winger Ben Doak as art of any deal for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi, The Sun reports. England international Guéhi is valued at around the £50 million mark by his club, a fee that Liverpool are currently unwilling to pay. However, Doak, who spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough, could help to reduce the valuation gap between the two clubs. Palace have previously been linked with Doak, who has been capped by Scotland six times, and is expected to leave Anfield this summer. Also on the way out is defender Jarell Quansah, who is reportedly on the verge of signing for Bayer Leverkusen.
– Manchester United will need to move fast if they want to sign Moise Kean from Fiorentina, according to Corriere dello Sport. The former Juventus, Everton and Paris Saint-Germain star reportedly has a £44m release clause that expires on July 15, which means Ruben Amorim’s side have just over two weeks to make their move. Kean, 25, is only a backup target on the Red Devils’ shortlist, but may move into sharper focus after sources confirmed to ESPN that Brentford rejected a £62.5 million offer for Bryan Mbeumo from United last week.
– Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyökeres has informed club president Frederico Varandas he will not be returning to the club this summer, Record reports. According to the Portuguese paper, Gyökeres was upset by the latest comments made by Varandas in which he stated that only “worst agent in the world” could scupper a move away for the Sweden international. Gyökeres is target for plenty of clubs including Arsenal and Manchester United after scoring 49 goals for the Portuguese champions last season.

Arsenal are expected to announce his departure in the coming days, while the arrival of his presumed replacement — Brentford’s Christian Nørgaard — could be confirmed next week.
– Besiktas have reached a verbal agreement with AS Roma over the proposed transfer of striker Tammy Abraham, according to Fabrizio Romano.
