Transfers home page<\/a> | Men’s winter grades<\/a> | Women’s grades<\/a><\/p>\n TRENDING RUMORS – Arsenal<\/a> have little intention of letting Riccardo Calafiori<\/a> leave in the summer despite the defender being the topic of interest from Inter Milan<\/a>, AC Milan<\/a>, Juventus<\/a> and Napoli<\/a>, according to TEAMtalk<\/a>. The Gunners are fully committed to keeping the 23-year-old, who is settled in north London and not actively looking to leave the Emirates. Interest from Chelsea<\/a> has also been reported but Calafiori joining the club is seen as highly unlikely.<\/p>\n – Real Madrid<\/a> president Florentino Perez is planning a major move to sign Bayern Munich<\/a> winger Michael Olise<\/a> in the summer, but Bundesliga<\/a> leaders do not plan on letting him leave, according to Sport Bild<\/a>. The 24-year-old’s contract runs until 2029 and doesn’t include a release clause, so Bayern feel no obligation to offload him. Liverpool<\/a> also want Olise as they look for a possible successor to Mohamed Salah<\/a>, who could soon leave Anfield.<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n – Chelsea are lining up a move to sign Rayane Messi<\/a> from Strasbourg<\/a>, with the winger on loan at Saudi Pro League<\/a> club Neom, reports TEAMtalk<\/a>. Bayern Munich, Barcelona<\/a> and Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> have also enquired about the 18-year-old but Chelsea’s owners, BlueCo, don’t want to see him leave their multi-club network. The plan had originally been for Messi to be integrated into Strasbourg’s first-team next season before heading to Stamford Bridge, but that plan is now being reviewed.<\/p>\n – AC Milan and Inter are among the clubs who will try to compete with Arsenal to sign Leon Goretzka<\/a> as a free agent when the midfielder’s Bayern Munich contract expires in the summer, as reported by Calciomercato<\/a>. Milan have already initiated contact with the 31-year-old’s entourage, while Inter are hoping to complete a move that would be similar to the ones they have previously completed for Hakan \u00c7alhanoglu<\/a> and Henrikh Mkhitaryan<\/a>. Even so, Arsenal are the frontrunners to complete a deal.<\/p>\n – Marseille<\/a> want to sign Jonathan David<\/a> in the summer if they qualify for the Champions League but face competition from the Premier League<\/a>, as reported by Tuttosport<\/a>. While David would reject any offer from Olympique Lyonnais due to Paulo Fonseca being in charge of Les Gones, the 26-year-old has always been fascinated by the idea of playing in the Premier League. Nottingham Forest<\/a>, Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> and West Ham United<\/a> all made attempts to sign him in January.<\/p>\n EXPERT TAKE<\/p>\n Signing Michael Olise would be a typically Galactico-style addition at Real Madrid, but do they need him? ESPN columnist Graham Hunter writes on their exciting young crop:<\/p>\n Interim manager \u00c1lvaro Arbeloa is suddenly responsible for the greatest influx of young talent into Real Madrid<\/a>‘s first team in living memory. And it has taken less than nine weeks, never mind nine months’ gestation, of him in charge to produce it.<\/p>\n Los Blancos’ drive to win LaLiga, plus their push for the Champions League quarterfinals, is being sustained by a clutch of teenagers: Thiago Pitarch<\/a> (18 years old), Dani Y\u00e1\u00f1ez (18), Jorge Cestero<\/a> (19), V\u00edctor Valdepe\u00f1as<\/a> (18) and Diego Aguado<\/a> (19), while C\u00e9sar Palacios<\/a> (21) and Manuel \u00c1ngel<\/a> (22) have been hauled up from the B team and given debuts. These breakthrough kids join slightly more established academy graduates Gonzalo Garc\u00eda<\/a> and Ra\u00fal Asencio<\/a>, who are relatively new emergences but have 123 first-team appearances and 20 goals\/assists between them.<\/p>\n The last time anything remotely similar took place at Madrid is still the stuff of fabulous legend, but it began as far back as 1983 — not far off half a century ago. It’s when the Quinta del Buitre group broke through and Madrid’s academy became, arguably, as powerful and prestigious as at any time in the club’s imperious history.<\/p>\n Read full Hunter’s full column here.<\/a><\/p>\n OTHER RUMORS 1:37<\/p>\n Nicol: Max Dowman is just not normal!<\/p>\n Steve Nicol reacts to Max Dowman becoming the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history.<\/p>\n – Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund and several LaLiga clubs have been closely monitoring Newcastle United left back Lewis Hall.
