Regardless of the result of the upcoming Europa League final (2am on May 22), MU will make many changes in attack. Ruben Amorim needs a real “number 9” to build an attacking style.

Vlahovic is not comfortable at Juventus. The Serbian striker expressed his intention to move to the Premier League in the summer transfer window this year.

MU are currently considering an offer from Inter Milan for Joshua Zirkzee. The Dutch player's position will be given to Vlahovic.

Chelsea compete to sign Rodrygo

With Real Madrid making a change with Xabi Alonso, Rodrygo doesn't have many opportunities at the Bernabeu.

Chelsea are making contact to convince Rodrygo. The 24-year-old player is promised to become the main character in The Blues' attack, along with Cole Palmer.

Enzo Maresca's team are aiming to beat MU to compete for a Champions League ticket. At that time, Chelsea will have the basis to convince Rodrygo to join Stamford Bridge.

Newcastle want Nkunku

In preparation for the new 2025/26 season, Newcastle officials are approaching Chelsea to discuss the transfer of Christopher Nkunku.

Newcastle will definitely participate in European Cup next season. Currently, "Chich choe" is in the group competing for a ticket to Champions League.

To avoid running out of steam when competing on many fronts, coach Eddie Howe proposed to Newcastle's board of directors a plan to sign a contract with Nkunku.

Currently, Nkunku is also interested in clubs such as Bayern Munich and Juventus. However, the French player seems to want to continue to try his hand in English football.
