Mo Salah's future takes a surprising twist ahead of summer
Mohamed Salah's future at Liverpool has been dubious for several months, and now it appears there has been another twist in the saga.
According to reports, the Egypt international could actually return to Italy instead of Saudi Arabia in what would be a very surprising move.
The 33-year-old is out of contract in 2027, but has been courted by Saudi Pro League teams for a number of seasons now, even more so after his well-reported fallout with manager Arne Slot back in December.
However, the pair have since patched things up, with the Reds winger now regularly part of the starting line-up. It remains to be seen what will happen in the summer, but this is certainly an interesting update indeed.
Arsenal to rival Liverpool over the signature of Nnamdi Collins
Arsenal and Liverpool are among a strong Premier League contingent chasing the signature of Eintracht Frankfurt defender Nnamdi Collins this summer, per TEAMtalk.
The 22-year-old right-back has regularly been scouted by the Gunners this season, and it's thought they view him as a player with similarities to Ben White.
Meanwhile, top-flight rivals Manchester City, Newcastle United, Brighton and Brentford are also in the race alongside Liverpool.
It remains to be seen how much Collins could command in the transfer window, especially as he remains under contract until 2030.
Man Utd have already agreed to sell Altay Bayindir
Man Utd have already agreed on one deal ahead of the summer, according to reports in Turkey.
It's thought that the Red Devils have sanctioned the exit of back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, who appears set to return to the Super Lig with Besiktas.
The 27-year-old stopper joined Old Trafford in 2023 but has found gametime hard to come by, especially since the arrival of Senne Lammens.
United are set to net around £4.3 million from Bayindir's sale, effectively recouping exactly what they paid for him two-and-a-half years ago.
