Football Insider reports<\/a> that the 25-year-old has been frustrated by his limited playing time recently, and if an agreement over a new contract isn’t reached in the next months, he will look to move to a team in Europe, where several top clubs would be keen on him. Foden has been named on the bench by manager Pep Guardiola in four of his last five appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n – Atl\u00e9tico Madrid<\/a> are preparing to ward off interest in forward Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez<\/a> from Arsenal<\/a> and Barcelona<\/a> by offering him a new contract, Marca reports<\/a>. The LaLiga side are believed to be readying a \u20ac10 million-per-season proposal that would place the 26-year-old on the highest salary at the club, with plans to make him their “flagship” player and successor to Antoine Griezmann<\/a>, who will leave<\/a> for Orlando City<\/a> at the end of the season. Alvarez has caught the attention of both Arsenal and Bar\u00e7a following his impressive form in the current campaign, but it is said that there is optimism among the Wanda Metropolitano hierarchy that he will sign an extension.<\/p>\n – Chelsea<\/a> are interested in AC Milan<\/a> defender Strahinja Pavlovic<\/a>, according to Corriere dello Sport<\/a>. The Premier League<\/a> club are reported to have already made contact with the 24-year-old’s representatives and are now monitoring his situation at the San Siro. It is expected that an offer worth at least \u20ac40 million would be required to get a deal over the line, with the Milan seeing him as a key figure among their squad. Pavlovic has scored four goals in 26 league matches this season, while he also starts regularly for Serbia<\/a> at international level.<\/p>\n – Manchester United<\/a> are lining up a move at the end of the season for Newcastle<\/a> midfielder Sandro Tonali<\/a>, according to The Daily Mail<\/a>. The 25-year-old is reported to be made United’s priority option amid plans to strengthen their midfield, while club captain Bruno Fernandes<\/a> has also provided his approval of the proposed addition. Tonali, who has made 47 appearances across all competitions for the Magpies this season, has also previously been linked with Arsenal and Manchester City.<\/p>\n – Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde<\/a> is on the radar of Manchester City, Manchester United, and Aston Villa<\/a>. Mundo Deportivo reports<\/a> that all three Premier League clubs have made inquiries regarding a potential deal for the 22-year-old, and while he wants to stay put at Bar\u00e7a, they could be willing to consider moving him on if they receive a “substantial” offer.

Read<\/a><\/p>\n EXPERT TAKE<\/p>\n ESPN’s Sam Tighe had a go at reranking the top 15 players<\/a> from each top Premier League<\/a> squad based on their importance to the team. He ranked Phil Foden<\/a> as Manchester City’s 11th most-important player, writing:<\/p>\n Back in November, Foden was on the rise; he had recovered from a poor 2024-25 and looked a bright, creative force again from central midfield. Unfortunately, as we take another snapshot this March, the England<\/a> international’s stock is on the wane again. Guardiola has frequently opted for more physical options in the team, and when he does opt for a creator, summer signing Rayan Cherki<\/a> seems to have the edge on Foden. It leaves him on the outside looking in more than anyone expected.<\/p>\n OTHER RUMORS 1:53<\/p>\n Could Liverpool sign Kvaratskhelia or Olise to replace Salah?<\/p>\n Craig Burley debates who Liverpool could sign to replace Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\n – Barcelona are looking at Osasuna winger Victor Munoz, but a deal could be difficult due to Real Madrid holding 50% of the playing rights on his contract that also includes a clause for them to sign him back.
