Memphis Depay wants to stay at Barca
Memphis Depay has asked to stay at Barcelona, according to Sport. Until then, he is expected to leave Camp Nou because he hasn’t really stood out. However, Depay’s future remains in doubt as Barca are willing to discuss funding with him.
Chelsea bid for Lukaku
Chelsea have run out of patience with the Belgian striker, according to Sky Sports. Lukaku has started just one of his last nine appearances and has not scored for Chelsea since the start of 2022. Therefore, the Blues want to remove him from Stamford Bridge as soon as possible. London are hoping to earn at least €75m from the sale of Romelu Lukaku this summer.
Currently, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Barcelona are all interested in the Belgian striker. However, the level Chelsea is demanding seems too expensive for these clubs. What’s more, Lukaku’s £325,000/week salary is also a big obstacle.
De Jong wants to reunite with Eric Ten Haag
Spanish media reports that Frenkie de Jong is likely to join Manchester United this summer. Most recently, when signing for next season’s Manchester United, manager Eric Ten Hager publicly announced his intention to reunite with De Jong, who took him to the top of Ajax. De Jong remains on good terms with the Dutch strategist and is ready to follow the voice of his old teacher.
De Gea likely to be MU’s new captain
Ten Haag will strip Harry Maguire of his captaincy when he takes over the Red Devils, according to the Manchester Evening News. The Dutchman will hand over the captaincy to goalkeeper De Gea, who has been one of United’s best players of the season after the England midfielder.
