Al Hilal joins the race for Theo Hernandez, sought by top European clubs

Al Hilal is preparing for a significant summer transfer window, with AC Milan’s left-back Theo Hernandez being one of their top targets. The Saudi club aims to build a strong team for the upcoming season and possibly for the FIFA Club World Cup, with Hernandez high on their list.

Hernandez’s contract renewal with AC Milan has been on hold for nearly a year, with Juventus, Manchester City, and another Serie A club showing interest in the French player.

Now, Al Hilal has entered the race in a serious manner. Talks with the player’s agent have been ongoing for about a month, quietly behind the scenes. Hernandez has given the green light to continue negotiations and learn more about the details of the potential offer.

If an agreement is reached on personal terms, there should be no major issues between the clubs. AC Milan was already open to letting him go in January when Como made an offer.

With his contract expiring in 2026, the Rossoneri are ready to sell Hernandez for around €30 million. Developments are expected soon as Al Hilal pushes to convince one of Europe’s top left-backs to join their ambitious project.

Chelsea makes first move for Rodrigo, with Manchester City and PSG also interested

Chelsea has shown serious interest in Real Madrid winger Rodrigo. The Blues have already made initial contact with the player’s entourage to understand the terms of a potential deal.

The Premier League club is exploring the possibility of a move and could soon make a concrete offer. Rodrigo is one of the players Real Madrid is open to selling, making him an attractive option for several top European clubs, despite his high price tag of around €120 million.

Manchester City is also monitoring the situation, with Pep Guardiola being a big admirer of Rodrigo and seeing him as a strong fit for his system. For now, City has not made a move, but the player remains on their list.

PSG is also in the race, planning major changes in their attack this summer and keeping a close eye on Rodrigo’s situation.

Certainly, Chelsea has shown the most interest and has made a move at the moment, but the race for Rodrigo is wide open, and we should also keep an eye on possible approaches from Saudi Arabia.

Napoli interested in Real Betis winger Jesus Rodriguez

Napoli has inquired about Real Betis winger Jesus Rodriguez during recent talks with the Spanish club. The Italian club and Betis are in contact over the possible permanent transfer of Brazilian center-back Nathan, currently on loan in Spain. Betis is keen to buy Nathan, and Napoli used this opportunity to explore a deal for Rodriguez.

Jesus Rodriguez, born in 2005, is considered one of the most exciting young players in Spanish football. Napoli is closely following him as they search for a new left winger for next season.

The newly crowned Serie A champion will not keep Noah Okafor, who is set to return to AC Milan after his loan spell. Okafor arrived late in the winter market as a short-term solution, but Napoli never found a true replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who left the club earlier in the season. Rodriguez is now on the list of potential signings to fill that role, along with other names.

Napoli believes he could develop into a top player and fit well into their future plans. The coming weeks will be crucial to determine if this early interest will turn into a concrete move for the talented Spanish winger.

Lazio wants to keep Castellanos, with Everton and Wolves not in the race

Despite recent rumors, there is currently no interest from Everton or Wolves in Taty Castellanos. Both Premier League clubs are planning to strengthen their attack this summer, but the Argentine striker is not on their list. Some names are being considered by the two EPL clubs, but Castellanos is not being monitored at this stage.

On the other hand, Lazio sees Castellanos as a very important part of their future. The Italian club considers him a top-level striker and has no plans to sell him this summer. In general, Lazio is not even open to listening to offers below €40 million.

Since arriving in Italy, Castellanos has grown steadily and earned a call-up to the Argentina national team thanks to his performances.

Moreover, he is under contract with Lazio until 2028, putting the Italian club in a strong position. There is no pressure to sell, and the player is happy with his role at the club, although the lack of European football next season could change the parties’ minds. So, Taty is staying unless a huge offer arrives, and for now, Everton or Wolves are not among the clubs that could make such an offer.

Vitor Matos ready for the next step, as clubs begin exploratory talks

Vitor Matos, known as the ‘left hand’ of Jurgen Klopp during his time at Liverpool, is now preparing for his first journey as a head coach. Several clubs in England and across Europe have already made exploratory contact with his representatives, showing growing interest in giving him his first full managerial role.

Matos, 37, has spent years learning at the top level, working closely with Klopp and Pep Lijnders, helping to connect Liverpool’s academy with the first team. His time under Klopp has been like “a masterclass every day,” as he told Marca, and now his goal is to apply those lessons while adding his own ideas and identity to the teams he will coach.

A student of Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, and above all, Klopp, Matos is seen as a young coach with strong tactical knowledge and modern methods. His attacking style, based on domination, quick transitions, and fluid ball movement, has impressed many clubs looking for a long-term project.

Matos is determined to start this new chapter with the right club, where he can build a competitive team with a clear identity. The next few weeks could be crucial in finding the right bench for one of football’s most promising young minds.
