– Arsenal‘s David Raya and Brighton & Hove Albion‘s Bart Verbruggen have emerged as shock targets for Real Madrid, according to The Sun. Madrid view the Premier League goalkeepers as potential long-term successors to Thibaut Courtois, who turns 33 this weekend. Brighton have already lined up several possible candidates to replace Verbruggen should his head get turned by Los Blancos this summer, including Burnley‘s James Trafford and Liverpool backup Caoimhín Kelleher. Raya, meanwhile, is regarded by Real Madrid as a trickier deal to pull off, as the 29-year-old is under contract at the Emirates until June 2028.
– Juventus are pursuing a deal to sign Victor Osimhen this summer amid strong interest in the striker from the Premier League, Matteo Moretto reports. The Napoli goal scorer is currently on loan at Galatasaray but is widely expected to complete a permanent move elsewhere when he returns to Italy at the end of the season. According to Moretto, Osimhen has a €75 million release clause, which several European clubs are seemingly willing to trigger. The Nigeria international has impressed in Turkey this season, scoring 24 goals in 28 league matches.
