Liverpool are looking to bring in a quality goalkeeper at the end of the season, and they are keeping tabs on the Brighton star Bart Verbruggen.

Alisson Becker has been linked with a move to Italy in recent months. Juventus are hoping to secure his signature, and Liverpool will need to replace him properly.

The 23-year-old Brighton goalkeeper could be an excellent addition. He has been outstanding in the Premier League, and he has the quality to play for a bigger club. Although Liverpool have Giorgi Mamardashvilli at their disposal, they are looking to add more experience and quality to the squad.

They are keeping tabs on Emiliano Martinez as well. However, the Netherlands goalkeeper would be a younger option with a higher ceiling.

Verbruggen will certainly be attracted to the idea of joining Liverpool. It would be a huge step up in his career. He would be playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world, and he could fight for major trophies with them. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can win the race for his signature.

The player is reportedly open to leaving Brighton this summer. As per TEAMtalk, multiple clubs are interested in securing his signature, including Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich. Brighton will not want to lose the player easily, and they could demand a premium for his signature.

Tottenham are looking to bring in an upgrade on Guglielmo Vicario, who has been quite underwhelming. Bayern are looking at the Netherlands star as a replacement for Manuel Neuer.

Liverpool need to improve multiple areas of the squad in the summer, and they cannot afford to overpay for the Dutch goalkeeper. It remains to be seen whether they can negotiate a reasonable deal with the seagulls.

Liverpool have a strong Dutch contingent at the club, and they might be able to convince the player to join them over their rivals.

Tottenham have held talks in recent days over Luka Vuskovic as they look to secure his future amid transfer interest in the talented young Croatian defender.

Vuskovic has shone on loan at Hamburg this season and we understand Chelsea are big admirers, while Liverpool have also been linked by Sport Bild.

Still, it seems Spurs are working to keep Vuskovic and he also wants to stay with the north Londoners for the time being, according to Christian Falk in the latest edition of his CF Bayern Insider column.

Vuskovic looks like an elite young talent and it’s no surprise Tottenham could be facing a fight to keep him, though for now it doesn’t look like an urgent situation.

Luka Vuskovic could sign new Tottenham contract

Falk says Spurs want to keep Vuskovic and he’s happy to stay, with a new and improved contract even a possibility following recent talks.

“Tottenham have held some talks about Luka Vuskovic in the last few days, and it seems that he wants to stay at Tottenham (and they want him back),” Falk explained.

“However, it’s not just a matter of playing time. The Croatian’s management will talk with the club about a new contract. He made a big, big step in his playing career with this loan spell at Hamburg. Many top clubs now have him firmly on their radar.

“So, it will be interesting to see if Tottenham reward the centre-back with a contract that reflects his development, or (if the offer isn’t good enough and there aren’t enough minutes on the table) if he’s forced to go search for another club.”

Should Luka Vuskovic leave Tottenham for Liverpool or Chelsea?

This saga certainly seems like one to follow in the weeks and months ahead, with Tottenham enduring an awful season in the Premier League.

It may even be that THFC still end up getting relegated, though they’re the slight favourites over West Ham at the moment to scrape survival.

Still, that’s not necessarily the kind of situation Vuskovic will be keen to go back to, so the 19-year-old might do well to consider somewhere like Liverpool.

The Reds need a long-term replacement for the ageing Virgil van Dijk, while Ibrahima Konate is nearing the end of his contract, so there would surely be an immediate starting role for him at Anfield.

Chelsea might also be worth considering as they’ve shown their commitment to trusting young players, though it’s also a slightly less convincing project at Stamford Bridge right now.

LFC would be able to offer Vuskovic Champions League football for next season, something Spurs won’t have, while CFC might also miss out on Europe altogether.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Nicolo Fagioli from Fiorentina at the end of the season.

The 25-year-old central midfielder has been outstanding for the Italian club this season, and he could prove to be an excellent investment for Tottenham. According to reports from Italy via SportWitness, they would need a mind-blowing offer to get the deal done.

They have struggled to control the middle of the park, and they need someone who can dictate the game’s tempo. The 25-year-old could form a solid partnership with Conor Gallagher and Pape Matar Sarr next season.

He has shown his quality in Italy, and he has the technical attributes for English football as well. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can convince the player to join. They have the financial muscle to get the deal done.

They will hope that Fabio Paratici’s presence at the helm will help them get the transfer over the line. The former Tottenham director joined Fiorentina recently.

Fagioli is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge. The move to the Premier League could unlock his true potential. He would get to compete against top-class players, and it would help him improve as a player.

Roberto De Zerbi has identified the 25-year-old Italian as a target, and Tottenham must look to get the deal done. They need more quality in the middle of the park if they want to bounce back strongly next season. They have been out-muscled and outplayed in the middle of the park this season, and they need to improve in that area of the pitch.

It has been a disappointing season for the North London club, and they are fighting for survival right now.

Thomas Frank has reportedly found his next role just a few months after being dismissed by Tottenham Hotspur, but it will not be back in the dugout just yet.

Instead, the former Spurs and Brentford boss is set to join BBC Sport as a pundit for the 2026 World Cup, giving him a chance to return to football in a much calmer environment, according to Guardian.

Frank will be part of the BBC’s coverage team alongside names such as Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart, Alan Shearer and Olivier Giroud.

This is Frank’s first major football role since leaving Tottenham in February. His Spurs spell ended badly after only eight months in charge, with reports noting he was sacked after a poor run that left the club 16th in the Premier League.

Thomas Frank has put Spurs failure behind him

Frank’s move into punditry is actually pretty interesting. After what happened at Tottenham, jumping straight into another club job might have been risky.

His reputation took a hit, even though plenty of people still remember the excellent work he did at Brentford.

At Spurs, things became messy quickly. The results were not good enough, the mood around the club was poor, and he never really looked fully settled in that environment.

That is why the BBC job could be useful for him. It gives him visibility without the weekly pressure of managing.

He can speak about football, analyse games, show his tactical intelligence and remind people why he was so highly rated in the first place. Sometimes managers need that kind of public reset after a difficult job.

Ex-Tottenham boss Postecoglou will also be a pundit

There is also a fun side to this because Frank will not be the only former Tottenham manager working at the World Cup.

Ange Postecoglou is reportedly joining ITV’s punditry team, meaning two recent Spurs bosses will be on rival channels during the tournament.

Postecoglou will be part of an ITV group that includes Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Andros Townsend, while Frank will be on the BBC panel.

The BBC and ITV will share the UK broadcasting rights for the 2026 World Cup.

The tournament is being hosted across the United States, Mexico and Canada, with both broadcasters showing matches live and the final being shown on both channels on July 19.

Sassuolo defender Tarik Muharemovic has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur have been mentioned as a potential destination (h/t SportWitness), and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. There have been reports that the Italian club’s CEO, Giovanni Carnevali, recently visited London, and rumours suggest he spoke with English clubs about a potential deal.

Tottenham need more quality in the defensive unit, and the Bosnian could be an interesting acquisition. He has shown his quality in Italy, and he has the quality to excel in the Premier League as well.

Tottenham have been quite vulnerable defensively, and need to tighten up at the back. The left-footed defender will help them improve defensively, and his ability on the ball will help them build from the back as well.

The opportunity to move to England will be exciting for the Bosnian defender. It would be a step up in his career, and he would get to test himself at the highest level. He is entering the peak years of his career, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge.

Regular football in England could help him improve further and fulfil his potential.

Furthermore, Tottenham could lose players like Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven at the end of the season. Both players have been linked with moves away from the club. They might need to invest in more than just one central defender this summer.

Muharemovic has also been linked with clubs like Inter Milan. He could cost around €30 million this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Coritiba winger Lucas Ronier during the summer transfer window, and they will face competition from Fulham.

According to SportWitness, the two clubs have been closely monitoring the 21-year-old attacker, and they could make a move in the summer.

Tottenham need more quality in the wide areas, and the 21-year-old will add unpredictability, pace and flair to the team. He will help create opportunities for his teammates and open up deep defences for his side.

The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be tempting for the youngster. Regular football in England could bring out the best in him and help him develop further. Tottenham have a talented team, and they will look to bounce back strongly after a disappointing campaign. They need to plug the gaps in the squad, and signing a quality winger would be ideal.

Meanwhile, Fulham are keeping tabs on the player as well, and it remains to be seen whether they decide to make a move for him. They could use more depth in the attacking unit.

They have been overly dependent on Harry Wilson on this season. They need more quality in the team if they want to climb further up the table.

It will be interesting to see whether Coritiba is willing to sanction Ronier’s departure. He is a talented young player with a bright future, and they will not want to lose him easily. Tottenham or Fulham might have to pay a premium in order to get the deal done.

Playing alongside quality players in the Premier League will help the youngster improve further, and Roberto De Zerbi could also groom him into an important player for the north London club.

Tottenham’s on-loan striker Randal Kolo Muani is reportedly looking set for a possible transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Juventus.

The France international has not had the most positive impact during his spell at Spurs this season, making a return to parent club PSG a likely option.

From there, it looks like there may already be a preliminary agreement for Kolo Muani to return to former club Juventus, according to French outlet Le 10 Sport.

Kolo Muani has had a difficult few years, scoring only 11 goals in 54 appearances for PSG, and a total of only five in 38 games on loan at Tottenham this season.

In between that, the 27-year-old’s best form seemed to come during a loan with Juventus, where he scored ten times in 22 appearances.

Randal Kolo Muani set to leave Tottenham and seal Juventus transfer

It seems an agreement is more or less already in place for PSG to let Kolo Muani go to Juventus once his loan deal at Spurs comes to an end.

Some THFC fans may be disappointed that this deal didn’t work out better, but it certainly seems like the best thing now would be to make numerous changes to this struggling squad after an awful season of fighting against relegation.

It may well be that Tottenham still end up going down, but either way it surely makes little sense for Kolo Muani to be a long-term part of their rebuilding plans.

Juventus, meanwhile, could benefit from bringing the Frenchman in as they have Dusan Vlahovic coming towards the end of his contract.

Kolo Muani may not be the best striker in the world, but he’d probably be available on the cheap and he’s shown he can do the job in Serie A.

Tottenham will have to fork out €70 million to sign Real Madrid attacking sensation Franco Mastantuono this summer.

The Argentine international had an impressive start to life at Real Madrid, but wasn’t able to maintain the desired levels and eventually ended up going down the pecking order. The Spanish giants are now ready to negotiate his departure amidst interest from Tottenham, but want to maintain significant control over his future.

Tottenham want to sign Franco Mastantuono

According to reports from Spain, the North London club are interested in acquiring Franco Mastantuono’s services. They have already tabled an offer of €45 million, which the Spanish giants turned down without much deliberation.

With the 18-year-old racking up just over 1,300 minutes of first-team action in his debut campaign, Real Madrid are ready to sanction his departure. But they prefer a formula that gives them enough control over his future.

Real Madrid want €70 million for Mastantuono

Los Blancos would be open to a loan move with a €70 million buy option, which will be triggered if they qualify for Europe next season. It will help the Spanish club protect their investment in the youngster.

If Spurs fail to secure European football, Mastantuono will return to Madrid with valuable Premier League experience. The North London club do seek more quality in the final third, and the Argentine international could prove to be a very valuable addition to their squad.

His pace, ability to take on defenders, and clinical finishing could prove invaluable. While the €70 million fee represents a significant financial risk, it also comes with immense potential.

Luka Vuskovic has been excellent during his loan. Spell at Hamburg and Barcelona are interested in signing the player.

However, Tottenham Hotspur have no intention of letting him leave, and they are preparing to offer him a new deal. The 19-year-old is one of the best young talents in Germany right now, and he has the potential to develop into a top-class defender.

Tottenham are ready to offer him an improved salary in order to keep him at the club for the long-term. The player joined Tottenham in 2025 and was sent out on loan to Hamburg to continue his development with regular football. He has been exceptional for them, and it is no surprise that top clubs are interested in him.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Johan Lange has already travelled to Hamburg to hold talks with the player regarding his long-term future, and they are ready to offer him a bumper pay rise. He has a contract with Tottenham until 2030, and it remains to be seen whether all parties can come to an agreement quickly.

On the other hand, Barcelona is looking to add more quality to the defensive unit, and they have made fresh contact in recent days to sign the player. The opportunity to play for the Spanish champions can be quite attractive. Tottenham is fighting for survival in the Premier League, and the 19-year-old defender might feel he can fight for major trophies if he moves to the Spanish club.

However, Tottenham must do everything in their power to convince him to stay. He has the tools to develop into a top class player, and they cannot afford to lose someone of his calibre..

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Ian Subiabre from River Plate.

The 19-year-old winger has done quite well for the Argentine outfit, and he has attracted the attention of multiple clubs recently.

According to a report from Soy del Millo, the two Premier League clubs are monitoring his progress, and they could look to make a move in the summer.

Ian Subiabre set for summer move?

Another report from Soy del Millo confirms that the player’s agent is looking to secure a move for his client in the summer, and River Plate is expecting substantial offers soon. They could look to sanction his departure for a fee of around €8-13 million.

Chelsea and Tottenham certainly have the financial muscle to afford Subiabre, and he could prove to be an excellent long-term acquisition. He is a young player with a lot of potential, and the opportunity to play in the Premier League will be hard to turn down for him. Regular exposure to English football could bring out the best in him and help him fulfil his potential.

The 19-year-old could add creativity, pace, unpredictability, and goals to the Chelsea attack. Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens have been underwhelming this season, and Chelsea needs more quality on the flanks.

On the other hand, Tottenham will need to add more depth going forward. They have looked quite underwhelming so far this season.

Subiabre would improve both clubs

The 19-year-old would be a superb long-term investment for both clubs. The asking price is quite reasonable, and the deal could look like a bargain in future. He has the technical attributes to develop into a quality Premier League attack with the right guidance.
