Man City transfer news: Agent of midfielder 'meets with 10 Saudi Arabian teams'
The representatives of Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne have reportedly met with 10 Saudi Arabian sides.
De Bruyne enjoyed another productive campaign with the Citizens despite missing the first half of the season with a hamstring injury.
The Belgium international scored four goals and provided 10 assists in 18 top-flight appearances to help Man City claim a record fourth consecutive Premier League title.
As a result of those contributions, De Bruyne has now registered a total of 112 assists in the top flight, leaving him in second place in the all-time Premier League assist chart.
"A few days away" - Mbappe teases Real Madrid announcement
Kylian Mbappe has indicated that he is "a few days away" from being confirmed as a Real Madrid player.
Earlier this month, Mbappe announced that he would be leaving Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expires this summer.
The Frenchman is widely expected to swap the Parc des Princes for the Santiago Bernabeu, having been a long-term target for Real Madrid.
Mbappe's agent and mother Fayza Lamari recently hinted that her son will join the Spanish giants on a free transfer ahead of the 2024-25 season.
Man United 'to pursue two Chelsea players if Pochettino takes over''
Manchester United may reportedly consider pursuing Trevoh Chalobah and Conor Gallagher from Chelsea if Mauricio Pochettino becomes the club's next manager.
The Argentine manager parted ways with Chelsea last week and has been linked with several potential moves across Europe, including to Old Trafford, ahead of the 2024-25 season.
United are set to conduct a post-season review this week, which will include making a decision on whether Erik ten Hag will remain at the helm for the upcoming campaign.
The Dutchman only managed to steer the Red Devils to an eighth-placed finish in the Premier League this season but did secure them Europa League qualification after orchestrating a remarkable 2-1 win over arch-rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final over the weekend.
Man United 'add name to shortlist of Ten Hag replacements'
Former Brighton & Hove Albion boss Roberto De Zerbi has unexpectedly emerged as a candidate to succeed Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, according to report.
The 44-year-old Italian departed the American Express Stadium after the conclusion of the 2023-24 Premier League season and has also been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea.
The Blues opted to part ways with Mauricio Pochettino last week, with Leicester City's Enzo Maresca and Brentford's Thomas Frank believed to be in the running for the managerial job at Stamford Bridge.
Meanwhile, despite guiding the Red Devils to FA Cup glory last Saturday, Ten Hag's future remains uncertain due to a disappointing domestic campaign which saw his side finish in eighth place and eight points behind the top four.
Man United 'put Kobbie Mainoo transfer talks on hold'
Manchester United are expected to hand Kobbie Mainoo a new contract following his heroics in the FA Cup final but are reportedly likely to wait until the summer transfer window closes to make an offer.
The 19-year-old experienced a breakthrough year at Old Trafford and has emerged as one of the Red Devils' most important players ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.
Mainoo quickly became a fan favourite after making his Premier League debut against Everton in November and has not looked back since.
His impressive performances this season have earned him his first national team cap and consideration for Gareth Southgate's England squad to compete in Euro 2024 in Germany.
Key Man United figures 'backing Erik ten Hag stay after FA Cup win'
Erik ten Hag reportedly has the support of several key figures at Manchester United amid uncertainty over whether he will remain at Old Trafford next season.
On Saturday, the Dutch manager secured his second trophy in consecutive seasons by leading the Red Devils to victory over their local rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.
However, the United boss remains under pressure, having only managed to secure eighth place in the Premier League this season, with widespread reports suggesting that the club had already decided to show him the door regardless of the Wembley triumph.
Among the candidates that have been linked with a potential move to Old Trafford are Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel, Kieran McKenna and England manager Gareth Southgate.
Man City 'pocket £20m windfall from Southampton promotion'
Manchester City's summer transfer budget will receive a £20m boost due to Southampton's promotion to the Premier League, according to a report.
This financial windfall stems from a deal involving Taylor Harwood-Bellis, who joined Southampton on loan last summer with a clause that would make his move permanent upon their promotion.
The Saints defeated Leeds United 1-0 in the Championship Playoff final at Wembley Stadium over the weekend, securing their immediate return to the top flight after being relegated in the 2022-23 season.
The 22-year-old previously had loan spells with Blackburn, Burnley, Stoke and Belgian Pro League outfit Anderlecht.
