FootballTransfers runs through the biggest rumours and gossip from 15 March, including the latest updates on Lewis Hall and Sandro Tonali.
Arsenal want Lewis Hall
Arsenal are reportedly among the clubs keeping close tabs on the development of Newcastle United defender Lewis Hall ahead of the 2026 summer transfer window.
The England left-back, who has been heavily tipped to start for Thomas Tuchel’s side at the upcoming World Cup, has enjoyed a sensational season at St James’ Park and his form has caught the attention of multiple scouts across Europe.
That is according to CaughtOffside, who claim that scouts from Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool, Manchester City and RB Leipzig have all been closely monitoring Hall’s progress in recent months.
An official bid has not yet been lodged, but the England defender is set to be the subject of significant transfer interest this summer.

Sandro Tonali admission
The agent of Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali has admitted that joining a club like Arsenal is the Italian's "goal."
The 25-year-old has become one of the Premier League's most well-rounded midfielders since the end of his gambling ban. Tonali has consistently starred for Newcastle over the past 18 months, and this has naturally made him an attractive commodity.
With Champions League qualification looking increasingly unlikely for the Magpies - unless they win the competition this season - speculation surrounding the future of Tonali is ramping up.
FootballTransfers understands that Arsenal want to sign Tonali this summer, with fellow Newcastle star Valentino Livramento also on the club’s radar.
Christian Pulisic latest
AC Milan are determined to restart contract discussions with Christian Pulisic amid rumours that Arsenal could swoop for the USMNT superstar.
It has been claimed that the American wants an improved contract at AC Milan, with his current deal set to expire in 2027, though there is a club option to extend it by a further season.
In early February, reports in Italy asserted that Pulisic had been left frustrated by the lack of urgency from the club to engage in discussions over fresh terms, resulting in speculation that he could look to leave the club this summer.
Calciomercato has now provided an update on the situation and confirmed that discussions over a new deal are currently at a standstill. However, contrary to the claims of Pulisic being frustrated, the report states that the decision to pause the conversation was mutual.
Both parties are said to feel that it would be better to resume talks after the season and the World Cup. Before these negotiations begin, the Rossoneri will "certainly" exercise the one-year extension in Pulisic's deal to give themselves more leverage in the discussions.
Man Utd eye Nathan De Cat
Manchester United are reportedly among the clubs interested in signing Anderlecht wonderkid Nathan De Cat during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The 17-year-old has enjoyed a breakout campaign in the Belgian Pro League and he is being watched by a host of elite European clubs ahead of a potential move following the conclusion of the 2025-26 season.
Man Utd and Tottenham Hotspur have both sent scouts to watch the teenager in action in recent weeks, while Aston Villa, Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Brighton & Hove Albion and RB Leipzig are also interested in finalising a deal.
That is according to FussballDaten, who report that a fee of around €35m will be required to secure De Cat’s signature this summer. The 17-year-old’s current deal at Anderlecht is due to expire in 2027 and a sale is therefore expected to take place this summer if the Belgian giants receive a suitable bid.
Real Madrid swap deal
Liverpool and Real Madrid could swap Alexis Mac Allister and Eduardo Camavinga this summer, according to a report.
The Reds’ midfield is one area that is expected to be strengthened this summer. Ryan Gravenberch has just signed a long-term contract extension, but Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo could be on the way out, while Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister are also eyed by suitors.
The latter two have both been linked with a potential move to Real Madrid in recent weeks. Mac Allister, in particular, has become the subject of speculation after his admission that there are currently no talks over a new contract with the Reds.
Failure to qualify for next season's Champions League could have significant ramifications for Slot's future and the team as a whole. However, should Mac Allister decide to pursue a different challenge, Liverpool may not come away empty-handed.
At least that is according to Fichajes, which claims that the Anfield club and Real Madrid could pull off a mutually beneficial deal by swapping Mac Allister for Eduardo Camavinga.
Liverpool agreement
Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Celtic youngster Dara Jikiemi amid ongoing speculation that Andy Robertson could head in the opposite direction.
The 16-year-old defender has been on the Reds' radar for some time after impressing for Celtic's youth teams. A former Scotland U15 international, Jakiemi is now set to complete a transfer to Anfield, according to TEAMtalk.
Discussions with the teenager over an initial scholarship deal started at the turn of the year, and they have now reached a satisfactory conclusion as far as Liverpool are concerned.
Jakiemi has turned down a three-year contract at Celtic to make the move down south, where a professional deal awaits him once he turns 17 next January.
