West Ham reject Man City bid for Rice
West Ham have reportedly rejected a big offer for the services of Declan Rice from Manchester City.
The 24-year-old England international is currently the subject of a fierce battle between City and Arsenal. The Gunners made their move first and have had two offers already rejected, even though Rice himself is believed to be keen on the Emirates move. However, the fact that City have entered the race with a strong effort will only make Arsenal’s job of landing their primary midfield target this summer more difficult.
Bayern focused on Kane rather than Osimhen
Bayern Munich have reportedly told Victor Osimhen through his representatives that their focus regarding the plan to sign a striker this summer is now firmly set on Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane.
Apart from the Bavarians, Kane is still of interest to Manchester United, not to mention that Spurs would do anything to keep him in North London. But now, with Bayern apparently determined and ready to pay the price, it’s up to Kane himself to ask his club to leave.
UPDATE: Tottenham Hotspur reportedly received a written offer for Kane from Bayern, worth €70 million straight up and add-ons to come on top of that amount. The offer has been rejected.
Oxlade-Chamberlain ponders Saudi offer but Salah stays at Liverpool
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who will become a free agent when his contract expires later this week, is reportedly considering a lucrative offer from an unnamed Saudi club to put his name on the extensive list of players leaving Europe for the Middle East this summer.
The 29-year-old midfielder endured a torrid, injury-riddled spell with the Merseysiders; he picked up a rich trophy haul on the way, winning the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, coupled with the Premier League, the FA Cup and the League Cup, but he himself played a small part in that success.
Meanwhile, there would be an offer, presumably even more lucrative one, on the table of Mohamed Salah, but with two years still on his contract, the Egyptian winger has no intention of leaving Liverpool just yet.
Rabiot on verge of new Juventus contract
In a rather surprising turn of events, Juventus are reportedly on the verge of agreeing a new contract with Adrien Rabiot.
The France international was (and still is, at least for the moment) very close to becoming a free agent, and recent reports suggested Manchester United had expressed an interest in his services. It appeared very likely for Rabiot to leave Turin for the north-west of England, but it seems there’s been a breakthrough in his talks with Juventus, and now he’s set to stay put.
Arsenal: Havertz deal done, new Rice bid, Timber talks
Arsenal have reportedly wrapped up the transfer of Kai Havertz from Chelsea, and his announcement as a new Gunner is expected imminently.
Arsenal are now believed to be pondering a new offer for Declan Rice, keen not to lose any time with Manchester City also in the race for the signature of the England international.
The Gunners are also looking to strengthen the back line, and to that end, they’re in talks with Ajax over a possible transfer of Jurrien Timber.

Manchester City have completed and confirmed the transfer of Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea.
The Croatia international is expected to make up some of the experience City’s midfield ranks have lost with the departure of Ilkay Gundogan, who has made his way to Barcelona.
