TRENDING RUMORS
– PSG and Barcelona remain interested in Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as contract negotiations with Napoli continue, per La Gazzetta dello Sport. The Georgian superstar is under contract at Napoli until 2027, but his current deal sees him earn just €1.5 million ($1.6m) per season. Negotiations are set to continue this week, with Kvaratskhelia currently requesting a salary increase to just under €8 million (€8.4m) per season. PSG are reportedly willing to test Napoli’s resolve once more, after having a €100 million ($105.3m) bid for the 23-year-old rejected last summer.
– Liverpool are evaluating PSV‘s Ricardo Pepi as a potential transfer target, Ekrem Konur reports. The USA international has impressed in the Eredivisie this season, scoring six goals in 11 league games. Atletico Madrid, Ajax, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund are also said to be closely monitoring his development. PSV have set the 21-year-old’s transfer fee at €25 million ($26.3m).
– Chelsea could rival Real Madrid and Manchester United for Norwegian wonderkind Sverre Nypan, TEAMtalk reports. The 17-year-old, who can play in midfield and attack, has already featured over 50 times for Rosenborg since making his debut earlier this year. Borussia Dortmund are also said to be monitoring Nypan, who is under contract at the Norwegian giants until December 2026. Rosenborg will seek a transfer fee of $19m to $25.3m for the youngster.
– Financial constraints could scupper Aymeric Laporte‘s dream move to Real Madrid, according to Relevo. The Spanish international is being lined up as a temporary replacement for Éder Militão, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury. However, Laporte’s sizable €20m ($21m) per year contract at Al Nassr is proving to be an issue for Los Blancos, who would struggle to match that figure. As such, a summer transfer next year is looking more likely.
– Lille are pushing to finalize the transfer of Cercle Brugge forward Kevin Denkey, according to Rudy Galetti. Also keen on signing the 23-year-old, who wishes to stay in Europe, are FC Cincinnati. Cercle Brugge will consider offers of around €12m to €15m for Denkey, who is a Togo international with 33 caps to his name.
