Real Madrid have set their sights on Real Sociedad midfielder Martín Zubimendi
– Real Madrid’s defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League has shifted their focus to the transfer window, reports AS. As such, Los Blancos are looking at AFC Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen at centre-back and Real Sociedad’s Martín Zubimendi in midfield. Both players being worth €60m complicates things — as does Bayer Leverkusen wanting €150m for Florian Wirtz — and Real Madrid could have to offload players to make a move and prefer to focus on players whose contracts are coming to an end.
Villa and Arsenal targeting Matheus Cunha
Arsenal and Aston Villa are among the clubs who have held exploratory talks about Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha, reports Sky Sports, who add that Saudi Arabian clubs are also willing to trigger the 25-year-old’s release clause. They also reference interest from Manchester United, who ESPN have reported are exploring the possibility of triggering Cunha’s release clause.
Spurs are in for Rashford
Tottenham Hotspur are interested in a summer move for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford if Aston Villa don’t make his loan permanent, according to Football Transfers.

Man United plan on Toon star
Manchester United have drawn up a dream two-man list of Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimarães and Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton as they aim to strengthen in midfield, claims TEAMtalk.

Moisés Caicedo is being shown the door at Chelsea
Chelsea are not ruling out the possibility of Moisés Caicedo leaving in the summer amid interest from Saudi Pro League clubs, according to Football Insider. The Blues would be willing to entertain offers of over £100m, as they feel that figure would allow them to strengthen the squad despite the 23-year-old still being part of Enzo Maresca’s plans.
