Liverpool Transfer Gossip: Vuskovic Interest and No Trent Return
While Liverpool are keeping tabs on Vuskovic, they have no plans to bring Trent Alexander-Arnold back to Anfield. The 28-year-old England right-back has struggled for first-team football at Real Madrid, but Football Insider reports a return is not on the cards.
Elsewhere on Merseyside’s radar, Valencia are set to exercise an option to extend Spain forward David Otorbi’s contract amid interest from Liverpool. The move would double the 19-year-old’s release clause to £50m, according to Tribuna Deportiva.
AC Milan Eye Leny Yoro as Newcastle and Spurs Ask About English Pair
AC Milan are targeting a summer move for Manchester United defender Leny Yoro, with a deal for the 20-year-old expected to cost up to £42m, per Calciomercato. The Italian giants are busy on both fronts: Newcastle United and Tottenham have enquired about midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, 30, and defender Fikayo Tomori, 28, with Milan open to the English pair leaving, according to Teamtalk.
Roma are also in the market for a left-back, with 23-year-old Spain international Alejandro Balde keen on more playing time at Barcelona. Il Messaggero, via Mundo Deportivo, reports the Italians are watching his situation closely.
As ever with Sunday gossip, these are reports rather than done deals, but the Vuskovic race in particular looks like one to watch, with half of Europe’s elite already circling the teenager.
