The transfer landscape is heating up as Europe’s elite clubs circle several Premier League talents. Bournemouth forward Junior Kroupi is generating significant interest, while Manchester City are eyeing Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson. These developments, reported on , signal a potentially busy summer transfer window.
Kroupi, 19, has quickly established himself as a key player for Bournemouth, scoring eight goals in 20 Premier League appearances this season. His performances have attracted attention from Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Chelsea, all of whom are reportedly preparing offers. According to The Sun, Bournemouth are bracing for bids and a deal of around £80 million could be enough to secure Kroupi’s services. He arrived at the Vitality Stadium from Lorient last year and has made an immediate impact.
Manchester City’s interest in Elliot Anderson, 23, is equally noteworthy. TeamTalk reports that City view the Nottingham Forest midfielder as a long-term addition, but any move is contingent on the future of manager Pep Guardiola. A deal for Anderson is expected to require a substantial offer, potentially between £80 million and £100 million, with Manchester United also monitoring the situation closely.
The pursuit of talent isn’t limited to England. Paris Saint-Germain have entered the race for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, according to TeamTalk. The 22-year-old has also been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea, making for a competitive bidding war. An offer between £50 million and £75 million may be sufficient to pry Baleba away from Brighton.
Further north, Manchester United and Chelsea are also showing interest in Tromso midfielder Abubacarr Kinteh. Scouts from across Europe have been tracking the 19-year-old, and both Premier League clubs are considering a summer move.
Beyond potential arrivals, clubs are also assessing their existing squads. Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus is reportedly on the radar of AC Milan, as reported by Tuttosport. The 28-year-old has struggled for consistent playing time this season, competing with Viktor Gyökeres and Kai Havertz for a starting spot. Milan are looking to reinforce their forward line and see Jesus as a potential target.
Several other transfer rumors are circulating. Lyon forward Endrick intends to return to Real Madrid at the end of his loan spell, while Juventus are preparing a contract extension for USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie. Crystal Palace midfielder Daichi Kamada is expected to leave Selhurst Park when his contract expires, and Inter Milan are confident of securing a long-term deal with left-back Federico Dimarco.
Elsewhere, Brighton captain Lewis Dunk reportedly turned down a move to Nottingham Forest, while Fulham are expected to make Samuel Chukwueze’s loan deal permanent. Liverpool will reportedly evaluate manager Arne Slot’s position if the team fails to qualify for the Champions League. Rangers are working to secure a contract extension for midfielder Bailey Rice amid interest from Aston Villa and West Brom.
The January transfer window may have closed, but the groundwork for significant moves in the summer is already being laid. The interest in players like Kroupi and Anderson highlights the financial power and ambition of the Premier League’s top clubs, while the involvement of European giants like Real Madrid, PSG, and AC Milan demonstrates the league’s growing global appeal. The coming months will undoubtedly see further developments as clubs prepare for another competitive season.
