Rodrygo open for departure from Real Madrid Jose Felix Diaz Reliability: 4 Despite his public statements, Real Madrid striker Rodrygo does not rule out the possibility of his departure from the club this summer. He is not feeling comfortable with the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, who will take his place in the roster.

Apart from Rodrygo and Mbappe, the Spanish giants have Vinicius Junior, Arda Güler, Brahim Diaz, Endrick and Joselu. It is known that Manchester City are showing interest in Rodrygo, and Pep Guardiola has personally spoken to the Brazilian. Barça turn attention to Merino Sport.es Reliability: 4 The transfer of a new central midfielder remains a top priority for Barcelona for the summer. However, the name of the footballer the club wants to sign has been changed since the arrival of Hansi Flick. Now the Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino has emerged as a new option for Blaugrana. His contract expires in the summer of 2025, with Merino being able to provide the same functions as Joshua Kimmich, but at a much cheaper price. Barça are expected to return to the 1:1 rule in the upcoming weeks and then contact Real Sociedad and Merino's entourage. Man Utd to fight for Yoro Marca Reliability: 4 Manchester United have decided to join the race for LOSC Lille's young star Leny Yoro. The Premier League side has made the Mastiffs an official offer worth €60 million, which suits the French club. To complete the transfer, they have to convince Yoro himself. Meanwhile, Real Madrid ask the youngster not to accept any offers until the Merengues have their next season's budged planned and send Lille their offer. PSG are pursuing Yoro too, but the player appears to be leaning towards a move to Madrid. Barça no longer claim Simons Sport.es Reliability: 4 Xavi Simons will not return to Barcelona this summer. Due to financial problems, the club will not be able to meet PSG's financial demands for the loan deal, as well as the Dutch super talent's salary. As of this moment, the club's priority for the left forward position is Nico Williams, whose signing will require a significant amount of money. Besides, Bayern are currently the favourites to secure Simons' services. The footballer does not mind staying in Germany, since he has successfully adapted to life in this country.
