Premier League clubs surround Mazraoui
According to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Deutschland, Manchester United and West Ham are keeping an eye on Bayern Munich defender Noussair Mazraoui.
The 26-year-old is said to have become a priority target for both Premier League clubs. Initially, Bayern asked for 30 million Euros for Mazraoui but now, they will have to lower it to 20-25 million Euros.
Mazraoui is under contract with the "Gray Tigers" until 2026, meaning Bayern is not under much pressure to immediately sell this defender. However, the Moroccan player only appeared 15 times in the Bundesliga last season and Bayern will likely let him leave. In return, Bayern will earn a certain amount of money, thereby investing in new contracts.
The "Red Devils" are said to want to add a right-back this summer. Man United previously contacted Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong, but Mazraoui is currently the top priority.
Transfer rumours:
- West Ham is negotiating with Man United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to Football Insider. The report reveals that the 26-year-old will be allowed to leave Old Trafford this summer as he enters the final year of his contract.

- Al-Ittihad and Manchester City are struggling to reach an agreement on a valuation for goalkeeper Ederson, Fabrizio Romano has revealed. Saudi Arabia has been closely linked with the 30-year-old goalkeeper's transfer move in the context of The Citizens also not stopping it. Man City can ask for a price of 50-60 million Euros for the Brazilian international, but Al-Ittihad does not want to pay that much.
- Chelsea identified Atletico Madrid striker Samu Omorodion as a priority target to upgrade their attack, according to Nicolo Schira. This 20-year-old player scored 8 goals in La Liga while on loan with Alaves last season. This helps Omorodion get the attention of many "big guys" in Europe.
- Barcelona is increasingly confident about its ability to successfully recruit Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao, Sport reported. The Blaugrana leadership believes that an agreement with the EURO 2024 champion will be signed soon. However, as for Williams, this winger has not yet made a final decision about his future.
- PSG will focus on recruiting Benfica's Joao Neves instead of Man United's Bruno Fernandes, according to Fabrizio Romano. PSG are said to be eager to add more options in midfield and have identified Neves as the ideal option.
The 19-year-old scored 3 goals and 2 assists in the Portuguese national championship last season and was attracted by the Premier League's interest.
