Bayer Leverkusen want Kluivert as Wirtz replacement
Friday 13 June 2025 14:20 , George FloodBayer Leverkusen look set to move for Justin Kluivert as the replacement for Florian Wirtz.
Today the former Bundesliga champions clinched a deal with Liverpool for Wirtz that could net them up to £116m including add-ons.
Now Leverkusen have set about finding their ideal successor to the German international, with talkSPORT among the outlets claiming that they have made contact with Bournemouth over a potential swoop for Kluivert.
New manager Erik ten Hag is said to view his fellow Dutchman as perfect fit at BayArena, having already returned to the Premier League to sign compatriot Mark Flekken from Brentford.
However, it will be tough to convince Bournemouth to part with a player who scored 13 goals this season and is under contract until 2028, particularly with Milos Kerkez likely to join Wirtz at Liverpool to follow new Real Madrid signing Dean Huijsen out of the Vitality Stadium exit door.
The Cherries are also dealing with plenty of transfer interest at present in the likes of Antoine Semenyo and Ilya Zabarnyi.
Tottenham could gazump Man Utd for Mbeumo
Friday 13 June 2025 14:01 , George FloodMore details are emerging on Tottenham’s pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo.
Sky Sports reported earlier on that Spurs were now looking to beat Manchester United to a deal for the Cameroon forward, having made contact with Brentford after the appointment of Thomas Frank as Ange Postecoglou’s successor in the dugout.
Journalist Ben Jacobs now says that Tottenham are willing to improve on United’s initial rejected offer worth an initial £45m plus £10m in add-ons “if given encouragement”.
However, he says discussions are not advanced and that Spurs were made aware of Mbeumo’s desire to join Manchester United. Has Frank’s move altered that stance at all?
Jacobs says Spurs remain interested in Southampton’s Tyler Dibling as well as Mbeumo and Antoine Semenyo at Bournemouth.

Sky Germany report that included among those bonuses is if Liverpool win the Champions League.
They add that Wirtz, who is expected to sign a five-year contract at Anfield, is currently away on holiday after the conclusion of Germany’s Nations League campaign and will undergo a medical next week.
Tottenham hold talks over Bryan Mbeumo deal
Friday 13 June 2025 12:39 , George FloodSome huge breaking transfer news now regarding Bryan Mbeumo.
Manchester United were thought to be in pole position to land the Cameroon forward this summer after he indicated a desire to move to Old Trafford despite links to Newcastle and Arsenal and they tabled multiple early bids for his services.
However, it was reported last week that Tottenham raiding Brentford for Thomas Frank as Ange Postecoglou’s managerial successor could see Mbeumo yet potentially opt for Spurs instead.
Now Sky Sports are reporting that Tottenham have indeed held initial talks with Brentford over Mbeumo, with the appointment of Frank raising their chances of getting a deal done.
However, they claim that Spurs also remain interested in Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo.
Liverpool eye deal for Bradley Barcola

Liverpool weigh up shock Victor Osimhen move
Friday 13 June 2025 11:57 , George FloodFlorian Wirtz may not be the only high-profile signing at Liverpool in the weeks ahead.
Arne Slot seems very eager indeed to suitably reinforce his squad to try and retain their Premier League title next season and fight for trophies on multiple fronts.
With Darwin Nunez likely on his way to Saudi Arabia at some point this summer and Luis Diaz continuing to be linked with an exit, Liverpool are also known to be in the market for a new striker.
According to GiveMeSport, they have discussed a potential shock deal for Napoli and Nigeria frontman Victor Osimhen, who spent this season on loan at Galatasaray and recently rejected a switch to Al-Hilal ahead of the Club World Cup.
Chelsea make Tomas Araujo new top target

However, they were not able to clinch the signings of Jamie Gittens and Mike Maignan before the first deadline on Tuesday night, with talks continuing over that duo.

Manchester United make contact over Hugo Ekitike deal
Friday 13 June 2025 11:40Manchester United have reportedly entered the race for Hugo Ekitike.
Along with the likes of Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko, the French Under-21 international is among the most sought-after strikers in Europe this summer after successfully reviving his career in Germany at Eintracht Frankfurt following a difficult spell at Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool and Chelsea have both been heavily linked with Ekitike as well as a host of other suitors from the continent, though Old Trafford could yet be his next destination.
According to Sky Germany, Manchester United are now firmly in the running for the 22-year-old, having made contact with Frankfurt.
However, they will have to splash €100m (£85m) in order to sign Ekitike after spending £62.5m on Matheus Cunha and trying to push through another expensive deal for Bryan Mbeumo.
Liverpool agree Florian Wirtz deal in British record
Friday 13 June 2025 11:30Liverpool have finally clinched the massive signing of Florian Wirtz.
The Reds had been locked in talks with Bayer Leverkusen for weeks over a club-record deal that would see him quickly reunite with Jeremie Frimpong at Anfield.
After numerous hefty bids were rejected during the course of lengthy negotiations, it seems that Liverpool have their man at long last.
Per multiple outlets this morning including The Athletic’s David Ornstein and Paul Joyce of The Times, the Premier League champions have now agreed a deal for Wirtz that will see them pay £100m guaranteed plus a potential further £16m in add-ons.
If those bonuses are met, it would overtake Chelsea’s £115m deal with Brighton for Moises Caicedo in the summer of 2023 as the most expensive transfer in the history of British football.
Wirtz is now expected to pen a five-year contract at Liverpool and undergo a medical, having apparently chosen them over the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich.
Arsenal plot new Viktor Gyokeres bid
Friday 13 June 2025 11:20 , George FloodHave Arsenal changed their mind again from Benjamin Sesko to Viktor Gyokeres?
Both have long been heavily linked with high-profile transfers to the Emirates Stadium this summer as the Gunners finally pursue a statement striker signing, though it appeared that Sesko was the top target amid lengthy talks with RB Leipzig over the Slovenian international.
However, it could now be that Gyokeres is back in the lead, with reports from Portugal this week that they met with the prolific Swede’s agent amid all the latest drama over his future at Sporting and saw an opening bid turned down.
According to Mais Futebol, per Sport Witness, Arsenal are preparing an improved second offer for Gyokeres’ services worth more than an initial €55m (£46.7m) up front and reaching over €70m (£59.5m) including bonuses, with Sporting said to be open to more negotiations.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are believed to only be willing to pay €60m+ €10m, with issues also arising on the player side.
