Here, Football Whispers brings you the biggest headlines of the day…

Yan Diomande snubs Liverpool

Yan Diomande is currently out in North America representing the Ivory Coast at the 2026 World Cup, though the future surrounding his club future continues to rumble on.

According to The Athletic, Diomande has reportedly snubbed Liverpool in favour of a summer move to Paris Saint-Germain.

The Reds have already made an unsuccessful £87m bid for the 19-year-old, though this was always going to be a difficult transfer given both PSG and Real Madrid were also chasing the RB Leipzig superstar. 

Selling is not the final option for the Bundesliga club, who are also keen on keeping the teenager for another season, while also improving his wage packet and inserting a defined release clause. 

Mason Mount ponders Ruben Amorim reunion

Manchester United midfielder Mason Mount has received an offer to join AC Milan, according to the latest report by MilanPress. 

The Serie A club have recently appointed former United manager Ruben Amorim, and the new boss is looking to strengthen his squad ahead of the next season.

Mount’s contract with the Red Devils runs out in the summer of 2028, meaning Milan would have to dig into their pockets in order to complete the transfer this summer.

No formal negotiations have taken place between the two clubs, though any transfer fee would not exactly break records given how much the English midfielder has struggled with injuries in recent times. 

Chelsea target Marc Cucurella replacement

Chelsea have identified their replacement for Marc Cucurella, with Spanish news outlet Marca reporting the Stamford Bridge club are chasing Rayo Vallecano’s Pep Chavarria. 

Chavarria helped Vallecano reach the Europa Conference League final last season – a game which the Spanish outfit lost against Crystal Palace.

Despite this, Chavarria could be on his way to London, with Chelsea looking to secure his signature for around £20m.

The Blues will now have to find a replacement for right-back Malo Gusto, who has decided to join Manchester City, as he looks for a potential reunion with his former manager Enzo Maresca.
