Latest transfer news today: Euro giants make Liverpool star a ‘priority’ as Aston Villa eye £20m bargain

The transfer market is heating up as some of the Premier League's biggest teams prepare for a crucial summer of rebuilding.

Negotiations, scouting missions and early enquiries are gathering pace across the continent.

Football Whispers takes a look at the biggest headlines of the day:

Man Utd step up Ayyoub Bouaddi pursuit

Manchester United are thought to be stepping up their pursuit of Lille wonderkid Ayyoub Bouaddi amid increasing interest from Paris Saint-Germain, per reports.

The Ligue 1 giants have the 18-year-old midfielder on their summer shortlist, even going as far as making several enquiries, which has alerted the Red Devils to act swiftly.

United are even going to the extreme measures of drafting in legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson to try and persuade him to join Old Trafford instead.

Bouaddi, who has emerged a regular in Lille's starting XI, isn't expected to come cheap, with sources suggesting he could cost in the region of £50 million.

Juventus target Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker

Juventus are keen to sign Liverpool shot-stopper Alisson Becker this summer, as he enters the final 12 months of his current £187.5k-a-week deal at Anfield.

That's according to the Daily Mail, who claim that the Serie A giants have made signing a new goalkeeper a ‘priority' with the 33-year-old among their top targets.

It's believed that the Old Lady view Alisson as someone who would be available on a cheap deal, given his contract situation.

While it remains to be seen whether the Reds will be open to selling their no.1, but considering his age, they could be tempted to cash in.

Aston Villa explore move for Azzedine Ounahi

Aston Villa are set to reignite their interest in Girona playmaker Azzedine Ounahi this summer.

According to reports, the Midlands side have made the 26-year-old midfielder a top target, as manager Unai Emery admires his technical and tactical ability.

They aren't alone in the race, however, with Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion, as well as LaLiga giants Atletico Madrid, also linked.

Having signed him for just £5 million in 2025, Girona are expected to demand four times that, which could still represent something of a bargain for Villa.
