Aston Villa could be set to deliver a big blow to Arsenal as Manchester City are set to make an offer for the £86m midfielder.
The latest Premier League transfer rumors, including news from Aston Villa, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and West Ham.
Welcome to Friday’s Premier League Transfer Rumors – we turn to the media to bring you the verdict on some of the biggest and boldest reports circulating around the world, starting at Villa Park with some encouraging news.
I have examined it carefully. To the supporters of Unai Emery’s ambitious team. Recent reports that Aston Villa made a loss of £120m last season have led to speculation that they may be forced to sell their star player in order to comply with current profit and sustainability regulations.
However, 90min claims Villa are “adamant” that they are not under financial pressure. There are therefore no plans to sell midfielder Douglas Luiz, despite interest from Arsenal.
The club appear to have “no interest in parting ways” with Luiz and there is “optimism” that the Brazilian will continue his career in the Midlands, but reports suggest the Gunners are “not interested in signing Luiz”. I remain interested.” However, other options are being considered and the chances of Lewis joining the Emirates appear less likely than they were when the first financial figures were released.
3am verdict: It’s worth noting that if Villa had been forced to sell players this summer, they probably wouldn’t have made it public. If they appear desperate, their bargaining position will be weakened. But to be honest, this is obviously good news for the club because Lewis is a top-four engine room and replacing him will be a huge challenge. Arsenal, on the other hand, would have the resources to sign him, but there are also other options such as Real Sociedad’s Martin Svimendi. One of the big transfer talks that didn’t materialize last summer was Manchester City’s attempt to sign West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paqueta, but Paqueta was accused of breaking the rules of the game. This deal fell through. However, City appear to be preparing another offer.
The Daily Mail reports that City are considering triggering his £86m release clause this summer and are willing to wait for midfielder Bernardo Silva, who they see as their long-term successor. ” reported. It was previously reported that the player himself was interested in a move to City and was celebrating a call-up to the Brazil squad for friendly matches in March, including a match against England.
Usually we tell you more about players who move to other clubs, but today we’ll end with two stories about players who play for Manchester and never leave.
First, Fabrizio Romano’s Catch Offside report claims City right-back Kyle Walker was close to joining Bayern last summer but is unlikely to move anywhere this summer.
The England defender also insists that reports linking Walker with a move to Saudi Arabia are false, but added: “I’ll never say it won’t happen.”
Meanwhile, on the other side of the River Irwell, it’s bad news for United fans who thought they were done with Anthony. Sport Witness discusses reports from Brazil that he could return to his home country to play for Flamengo, but this rumor is more expensive than mine as he is “too expensive” for the Serie A team. It points out that this is strongly denied by related reports. This actually makes sense.
