Transfer Tensions Rising: Salah’s U-turn, Mainoo’s Demands, and Chelsea’s €70m Gamble on Endrick

Manchester United Offer Mainoo a Major Raise – But It May Not Be Enough
Manchester United are determined to keep hold of their rising star Kobbie Mainoo by proposing a substantial wage increase. Currently earning around £30,000 per week, the 18-year-old midfielder is reportedly being offered over triple that figure. However, negotiations have hit a wall, with Mainoo’s camp seeking closer to £150,000 per week — a sum United are hesitant to meet.
With his performances catching the eye across Europe, especially after his standout displays against top Premier League sides, holding onto Mainoo is becoming increasingly crucial. United’s midfield rebuild depends heavily on young talents like him stepping up.

Mohamed Salah Edges Closer to Liverpool Stay Amid Exit Speculation
Despite recent speculation suggesting Mohamed Salah was preparing to leave Anfield this summer, fresh reports indicate the Egyptian forward is close to extending his stay. Liverpool have reportedly met his financial expectations, and a contract extension is nearly finalized.
At 31, Salah remains Liverpool’s most influential player, with 17 goals and 8 assists so far this season. His decision to stay would be a massive boost for incoming manager Arne Slot, who is expected to take charge once Jurgen Klopp steps down.

Chelsea Launch Ambitious €70m Bid for Endrick
Chelsea are continuing their youth-focused transfer strategy by submitting a €70 million offer for Brazilian prodigy Endrick, who is currently under contract with Real Madrid. While the 17-year-old is yet to make a significant impact in Europe, his potential has been widely praised.
This move could indicate that Chelsea are looking beyond their current striker struggles and aiming to secure long-term talent. However, Real Madrid’s stance on Endrick remains unclear, especially with the player not fully integrated into their first team yet.

Arsenal Lead Chase for Viktor Gyokeres
Arsenal have reportedly taken the lead in the pursuit of Sporting CP’s prolific striker Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish forward, who has scored 33 goals in all competitions this season, is also on the radar of Manchester United and Chelsea.
With Mikel Arteta seeking a consistent goal scorer to support his title ambitions, Gyokeres could be the ideal fit — strong, clinical, and Premier League-ready.

Victor Osimhen Tops Man Utd’s Wishlist
While Mainoo’s contract situation dominates headlines, United’s transfer priority appears to be Napoli’s Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker, who has a €130 million release clause, is considered United’s number one attacking target.
Osimhen’s pace, strength, and goal-scoring ability could finally solve the Red Devils’ long-standing striker issues, but competition from Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich could complicate the deal.

Arda Guler and Eberechi Eze in Premier League Crossfire

Liverpool and Aston Villa are both monitoring Real Madrid playmaker Arda Guler, who has struggled for minutes under Carlo Ancelotti. Guler’s creativity and technical skills could thrive in a more consistent starting role.
Meanwhile, Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly ready to trigger Eberechi Eze’s £60m release clause at Crystal Palace. The 25-year-old’s flair and dribbling have made him one of the most exciting attacking midfielders in the league.

Nottingham Forest Fight to Keep Murillo Amid Chelsea, Liverpool Interest
Nottingham Forest are doing everything they can to keep central defender Murillo, who has attracted attention from both Chelsea and Liverpool. With Forest battling to avoid relegation, losing their defensive leader could be catastrophic.

Will Rashford Take a Pay Cut to Join Aston Villa?
Marcus Rashford’s name has been linked with Aston Villa, but a move may hinge on a significant salary reduction. The England international reportedly earns £350,000 a week — a figure Villa are unlikely to match.
Given his inconsistent form this season, United may be open to a summer exit if the right offer comes in.

Which Transfer Could Have the Biggest Impact This Summer?
With so many top names in play — from Salah and Osimhen to young stars like Endrick and Mainoo — this summer’s window promises drama and major shakeups.
Which deal do you think will be the most important for a club’s success next season?
