One of the positions that FC Barcelona intend to bolster in the summer transfer window is the centre-forward slot. Robert Lewandowski, at 37, does not have a guaranteed future at the club with his contract set to expire at the end of the season. The Blaugrana will need to rope in a replacement for the veteran Pole, given that an extension is starting to look unlikely as things stand. One of the options being considered happens to be Juventus centre-forward Dusan Vlahovic, whose contract also runs out this summer.

Liverpool have made an offer in a bid to beat Manchester United to the transfer of Sheffield Wednesday wonderkid Yisa Alao.

Liverpool and Man Utd are both said to have bid for Alao, according to the Daily Mail,

Under manager Thomas Frank, Tottenham have yet to find a clear sporting identity. Palhinha, valued for his defensive qualities, may not be a perfect fit for the dynamic, high-intensity system that Frank prefers. The Dane has doubts about whether Palhinha can play a key role in the team in the long term. The midfield partnership with Rodrigo Bentancur, in particular, is considered too defensive internally.

Wolverhampton Wanderers find themselves in a position few clubs ever escape. After 18 Premier League matches, their campaign has descended into a statistical nightmare that places them alongside (and in some cases below) the division's most notorious underperformers. While managerial change often offers a reset, Wolves' early-season numbers suggest this season could drift beyond a simple relegation fight and into historically poor territory.

AC Milan are facing a crucial decision as uncertainty grows around the future of Mike Maignan, with several European clubs closely monitoring his situation. According to Calciomercato, clubs including Chelsea, Manchester United, and Juventus are all keeping a close watch as the French international enters the final six months of his contract at AC Milan. Maignan, now 30, has been one of Milan's most important players since arriving from Lille, establishing himself as one of Europe's elite goalkeepers.

The Italian club have already filled their non-EU player slots for the current season, meaning a January move would be impossible even if all parties were willing. Instead, the Giallorossi are said to be exploring the financial and sporting feasibility of a summer deal that could see the 33-year-old return to Serie A, where he previously impressed during spells with Fiorentina and Roma earlier in his career.
