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

Ruben Dias ponders Man City exit

Latest reports from Caught Offside indicate that Manchester City defender Ruben Dias is thinking about a potential summer move away from the Etihad.

The 29-year-old has reportedly instructed his agent to explore options away from Manchester, with Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid all monitoring the situation.

City are set to go through a huge turnover of talent both on and off the field following the departure of influential manager Pep Guardiola, and Dias is just one of many players expected to leave the club.

The Portugal international signed a new contract with City last summer which was meant to keep the player in Manchester until 2029. With that in mind, City will be looking for around £50m before departing with the centre-back.

Liverpool battle rivals for Yan Diomande

German transfer journalist Florian Plettenberg believes that Liverpool are looking to complete a quick agreement with RB Leipzig for the signing of talented winger Yan Diomande.

Paris Saint-Germain and Man City are also in the race for his signature, with both clubs already speaking to the 19-year-old sensation.

The Ivory Coast international is contracted to Leipzig until the summer of 2030, meaning the Bundesliga club will be looking for a hefty pay cheque in order to proceed with the transfer.

In fact, reports from ESPN indicate that the club will be seeking around £100m for the winger, though a deal may have to be done after the World Cup, with the player now fully focused on international duties.

Niclas Fullkrug seeks West Ham exit

West Ham are expected to part ways with several players following their relegation from the Premier League, and according to Sky in Germany, Niclas Fullkrug is at the top of that list.

The German striker is not keen on Championship football as per reports and is instead looking at a return to the Bundesliga, with Werder Bremen eyeing up the striker.

Fullkrug’s contract comes to an end in the summer of 2028, though West Ham will be keen to get the player off their books ahead of the next season.

The 33-year-old, who has been on loan at AC Milan this season, has been a major flop at the London stadium, scoring three goals for the Irons in 29 appearances across all competitions.
