Sports Illustrated rounds up the latest transfer rumors and gossip from around the world.
Premier League
After a very public spat with Inter captain Lautaro Martínez, Hakan Çalhanoğlu is set to leave San Siro this summer. Orazio Accomando claims that Manchester United and Fulham have made “inquiries” into the revered Serie A midfielder, who could leave for €40 million ($47.2 million) this summer.
Former Liverpool forward Sadio Mané is leading the charge to convince Luis Díaz to join him and Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr, according to El Nacional.
Díaz’s perceived willingness to leave Liverpool amid growing speculation of interest from Barcelona and Bayern Munich is said to be a result of his modest weekly salary of around £50,000 ($68,000). However, the Liverpool Echo claim that Díaz is actually entitled to £140,000 ($190,000) per week.
