Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer would consider a move to Manchester United, according to The Daily Mail, though the club have not made a decision and are prioritizing other areas of the squad. The report says Palmer, 24, was linked with a switch to Old Trafford last summer and would be open to a return if United pursue him, despite a dip in form that has seen him score nine goals in 23 Premier League matches as Chelsea have struggled.
Manchester United are also keeping tabs on Arsenal left back Myles Lewis-Skelly, per TEAMtalk. The 19-year-old is viewed by the club as a potential long-term successor to Luke Shaw, and the report says United could land him for around £60 million.
Per TEAMtalk, Arsenal have joined Manchester City in the race for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández, with the Gunners monitoring the 25-year-old ahead of a potential summer move to refresh manager Mikel Arteta’s squad. The report adds that Barcelona and Real Madrid are also circling Fernández and that uncertainty has surrounded his future since he said he did not know whether he would still be at Stamford Bridge next season, a statement that led to his suspension from the squad by former Blues manager Liam Rosenior.
The Sun reports Manchester United will look to offload forward Marcus Rashford in the summer if Barcelona do not sign him permanently. The report says Rashford, 28, can move to Camp Nou for a fee of €30 million following a loan in which he scored 13 goals in 46 games, and that United would not be willing to reintegrate him if Barcelona do not take up the option, despite a new manager being in place.
Other transfer developments across Europe include Atlético Madrid demanding €100 million for Julián Álvarez, per Mundo Deportivo, while Sky Switzerland reports Barcelona are considering a move for Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana, who has been offered to the LaLiga club and for whom an offer of €30 million has been suggested.
