The latest transfer news and gossip from around the football world as Erling Haaland could be on the move as Chelsea look to revamp their attack. Meanwhile, Philippe Coutinho could be the next major star heading to MLS.

PSG target huge transfer coup as Haaland contact made

PSG have approached Manchester City over the potential signing of striker Erling Haaland in the summer.

Although the Parc des Princes side have moved away from signing major world stars, TeamTalk claims that the Parisian side are eager to add Haaland to their ranks and have made multiple enquiries to the Premier League giants over the Norway ace.

This is not, however, connected to Ousmane Dembele’s future. The Ballon d’Or winner is claimed to have offered himself to Chelsea in a sensational transfer deal.

Mateus Mane attracting big Premier League interest

Wolves youngster Mateus Mane has shot into the spotlight in recent weeks, with the 18-year-old turning in a string of exciting performances for Rob Edwards’ struggling side.

The Molineux club are resigned to seeing him depart in the summer, with a host of Premier League teams chasing his signature.

While Arsenal are interested in signing the teenager, Liverpool are leading the way for the young Englishman, who has had an asking price of €60m slapped on his head.

Philippe Coutinho to LA Galaxy in blockbuster deal?

Former Liverpool and Barcelona star Philippe Coutinho could be on his way to MLS.

AS reports that the franchise is ready to star talks with the Brazilian’s agents following his decision to leave Vasco de Gama on Wednesday.

Coutinho would go to LA Galaxy as a replacement for another former Barca star, Riqui Puig, who is not expected to play in 2026 following an ACL injury.

Casemiro to Inter Miami: The truth behind the rumours

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has been linked with a move to Inter Miami in the summer.

The Brazil international, who also played for Real Madrid, will be a free agent at the end of June and has already announced that he is leaving Old Trafford.

However, there is a huge stumbling block that needs to be overcome if Casemiro is to sign for Inter Miami.

Chelsea ready to sanction Delap sale: Everton set to swoop

Everton’s quest for a reliable centre-forward will see them turn to Chelsea misfit Liam Delap in the summer, according to a report from Football Insider.

Delap has struggled for goals since making a move to Stamford Bridge from Ipswich last summer, but after a spectacular season with the Tractor Boys in 2024/25 still retains a strong reputation among Premier League clubs.

Chelsea are already set to cut their losses on the 23-year-old and sanction a move, with the striker having scored only two goals in 24 matches this term.
