Aston Villa participate in Race for Vlahovic
The negotiations between Dusan Vlahovic and Juventus for contract renewal have been quiet for some time, as already reported weeks ago. The Italian club suggested a new deal with a lower salary, but the Serbian striker did not accept it: so, with only a year on his contract, Juventus is now expected to sell it this summer to lose it for free in 2026.
Arsenal showed the most interest in Vlahovic during the winter transfer window, but financial limitations prevented them from making a concrete offer. The Gunners still keep an eye on him, but they also consider other attacking options before they make a final decision. Anyway, Vlahovic remains one of the preferred goals of Mikel Arteta, but the situation is still open.
Another serious competition that is now interested in the Juventus striker is Aston Villa: After the departure from Jhon Duran to Al Nassr, the Villans are looking for a top striker for the following season and have added Vlahovic to their shortlist. Although no formal offer has been made, their appreciation grows and they will follow his situation closely. The race for Vlahovic is expected to be long, and more developments will come in the coming weeks, but for now the interest of Aston Villa is something to see with attention.
European giants show interest in Vasquez
Atalanta and Juventus are both closely monitoring Johan Vasquez, the Mexico International who has a strong season with Genoa. The 26-year-old Center-Back is impressed by his performances, especially this season, and attracted interest from various clubs in Italy and abroad.
Genoa, for their part, has set a price tag of approximately € 20 million for Vasquez, and they know that his solid displays in the Serie A have made him a valuable target in the transfer market. As said, Atalanta and Juventus consider him an option to strengthen their defense for next season, but they are not the only ones who are interested. Clubs of the Premier League and Bundesliga have also asked about the availability of Vasquez: his defensive qualities, versatility and the ability to play in different tactical systems make him an attractive option for teams in England and Germany looking for a new center-back.
With the Summer Transfer window approaches, Genoa knows that they will receive offers from several clubs: it is still to be seen whether Vasquez will remain in the Serie A or take on a new challenge in England or Germany. For now, his focus on closing the season is strong with Genoa, but his future will be one of the most important transfer stories in the coming months.
Atletico Madrid makes options to strengthen the attack
Atletico Madrid is looking for a new striker for next season, because Antoine Griezmann could leave the club in the summer. His contract ends in 2026 and to prevent him from losing him as a free agent, Atletico could decide to sell him after June.
The Spanish club is investigating various options, with a strong focus on Premier League Forwards. One of the names on their list is Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal Palace. His contract runs until 2026, and although the English club does not want to sell it, they can consider offers to make money with his departure.
Other clubs in England, and also in Europe, are interested in Mateta, who can see his price rise. Another option is Fabio Silva, who is currently playing for Las Palmas on loan from Wolves. Atletico started to follow him after his great performance against them last November. His goals against Barcelona and Real Madrid confirmed his quality and the club has already started evaluating a possible transfer.
Finally, Darwin Nunez is also on the Radar of Atletico. Liverpool is open to the sale of him, so that Atletico can negotiate a lower fee. Diego Simeone loves the Uruguayan striker, and the good relationship between the two clubs can help make a deal happen.
Inter Target Kimmich as a free agent
Inter Milan works behind the scenes to bring Joshua Kimmich to the club next season as a free agent. President Beppe Marotta leads the efforts to convince the German midfielder to become a member of the Nerazzurri and offers him a key role in their project. Until now, the Nerazzurri have not made an official offer, but internal discussions have been underway.
The Italian champions prepare a four -year contract with a net salary of approximately € 6 million per season, the same amount that is currently earned by Hakan Calhanoglu, which is expected to leave in the summer. The contracting situation of Kimmich in Bayern Munich remains uncertain: renewal interviews have been stuck because he does not feel appreciated by the club and in the past few days this has been officially confirmed by the parties involved, making his departure more likely.
However, Inter is not the only club that is interested. Liverpool is in contact with Kimmich and regards him alongside Frenkie de Jong and Angelo Stiller as potential midfield reinforcements. Moreover, if Barcelona can say goodbye to Frenkie de Jong, Kimmich could become a top option for the Spanish side. In the meantime, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are monitoring the situation, but have not yet made any concrete movements.
No agreement between Man Utd and Quenda
We told it some time ago: Geovany Quenda is one of the most promising young talents in football and attracts interest from various top European clubs. His versatility, because he can play as a left and the right wing player, has impressed many scouts and coaches.
Despite recent rumors, there is no agreement between Manchester United and Quenda or between the English club and sporting CP. United has shown strong interest, but they have not made any official offers so far. While sports coach Ruben Amorim appreciates the player, no deal has been reached. That is why the race remains open for Geovany, with other large clubs closely monitoring the situation.
Manchester City, Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayer Leverkusen all keep an eye on his development. Barcelona in particular has been following him for months and has already spoken with his agent, Jorge Mendes. The Spanish club has planned a different meeting to explore the possibility of a transfer with Mendes, who personally manages the future of Quenda, which strongly believes in the potential of the player.
No hurried decisions are made because they will carefully evaluate all options before they choose the next step. In the coming months will be crucial, with top clubs that stay in contact and insist on one of the most exciting young players in European football.
