Leao says yes
Rafael Leao has privately given the green light to a Manchester United move after announcing he is leaving AC Milan (1) (4) (5) (6). The Portuguese winger is heading to the World Cup and is now waiting for United to make their call. One report describes his arrival as transformative, turning the attacking line into an unstoppable force (5). The numbers being floated sit around £43m, a deal that would unlock even more from Mbeumo and Amad alongside him (6). This is the one to watch this summer.
Tchouaméni: the dream Casemiro replacement
United have identified Aurélien Tchouaméni as the ideal long-term successor to Casemiro in midfield, per Fabrizio Romano (2). The Real Madrid man is seen as the dream fit, though the club's president has already indicated his summer stance on any potential exit. No formal bid yet, but the interest is serious.
Casemiro running the show for Brazil
While the club looks to the future, the current midfield anchor is thriving. Casemiro delivered a goal and an assist for Brazil this weekend, completing 100% of his dribbles in a dominant international display (3). The performance came in a friendly that saw Brazil beat Panama, with Casemiro opening the scoring via an assist after just one minute before adding his own goal in the 39th minute. The 34-year-old looks in no mood to slow down.
Guerra: I'm staying at Valencia
One target appears to be off the table. Javi Guerra has publicly stated he wants to remain at Valencia despite interest from United, Arsenal, and Atletico Madrid (7). The midfielder was direct: he is not looking for a move.
