Manchester City are reportedly considering a move for AC Milan's star left-back Theo Hernández, adding another layer of intrigue to the summer transfer window. While Pep Guardiola's primary target remains Juventus defender Andrea Cambiaso, the Premier League champions have included Hernández on their shortlist as a potential alternative.
Real Madrid are currently viewed as the frontrunners for the 27-year-old's signature, though AC Milan remain hopeful of retaining their prized asset with a two-year contract extension offer on the table.
In other transfer developments, Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha is reportedly eager to secure a move to a larger club, despite recently penning a new deal. The Brazilian international, who has attracted interest from Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest, is said to have insisted on including a release clause in his contract that becomes active in June.
Cunha's remarkable transformation at Wolves has caught the attention of several Premier League giants. ESPN's Dale Johnson highlights the striker's impressive trajectory, noting that after a slow start following his arrival from Atlético Madrid, Cunha has become one of the Premier League's most productive players over the past 14 months, with 21 goals and nine assists. His improved efficiency is particularly noteworthy, scoring 11 goals this season from an expected goals (xG) of just 5.22.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are preparing for Christopher Nkunku's potential departure this summer, following January interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester United. The 26-year-old's limited role under Enzo Maresca has prompted him to assess his options.
In confirmed transfers, Juventus have secured defender Lloyd Kelly from Newcastle United for €17.2m, while AS Roma have completed an €8m move for FC Twente left-back Anass Salah-Eddine. Ajax have strengthened their defensive options with the €3m acquisition of Real Valladolid right-back Lucas Rosa, and Orlando City have brought in winger Marco Pašalić from HNK Rijeka.
Other notable developments include Harry Kane's Bayern Munich release clause situation, with Bild reporting that while a €80m January clause has expired, a €65m option remains available. However, there are no indications that the England captain is looking to leave the Bundesliga club.
The transfer market continues to buzz with activity as USA midfielder Johnny Cardoso extends his Real Betis contract until 2030, though Tottenham Hotspur maintain a priority option for the 23-year-old. Samuel Chukwueze's proposed €30m move to Fulham collapsed due to timing issues on deadline day, ensuring his stay at AC Milan until season's end.
Alphonso Davies' agent has revealed Real Madrid was "a serious option" before the player's decision to remain at Bayern Munich, while West Ham United made an unsuccessful attempt to secure Endrick on loan from Real Madrid for the remainder of the season.
