Manchester United could rival AS Roma and Napoli for Nottingham Forest winger Callum Hudson-Odoi, reports The Sun. With all three clubs circling, Forest are preparing to offer the 24-year-old a new contract this summer. United are said to have enquired about his availability back in January, but were rejected. Nevertheless, interest remains in Hudson-Odoi, whose current contract expires next June. The England international has impressed at Forest since making the move from Chelsea in 2023, racking up eight goal involvements last season in 31 Premier League outings.
Liverpool's Luis Díaz is still a 'priority' for Barcelona sporting director Deco amid reports linking the side with Athletic Club's Nico Williams, Diario AS has reported. Without a release clause, a deal for Díaz wouldn't be easy for the Spanish club to negotiate, whose financial situation remains perilous. It's for this reason that many at the Blaugrana would favor a move for Williams, who has a release clause in the region of €64 million, and is very keen to link up with his international teammate, Lamine Yamal. Bayern Munich are expected to swoop for Williams if the Catalan giants can't strike an agreement.
