Saturday’s transfer rumor mill: Osimhen, Havertz, Messi, Shaw, De Gea, Tchouameni, and Aubameyang

Chelsea emerge as major contenders to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli this summer, boosting their already-stellar squad. Additionally, the Blues may bid for Barcelona and Spain left-back, Alejandro Balde, to replace England defender Ben Chilwell. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich is showing interest in Chelsea’s Kai Havertz, with the German forward expressing interest in being reunited with his former manager. As for Barcelona’s Lionel Messi, Paris St-Germain has reportedly told the Argentine they’ll do whatever it takes to keep him from leaving. Arsenal and Liverpool are competing for 23-year-old French midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni from Real Madrid. Manchester United’s defense solidifies with England’s Luke Shaw agreeing to a four-year contract extension. Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 33, still wants to join Barcelona, but the Blues are hesitant to sell. While Manchester United may soon lose McTominay and Lindelof, Crystal Palace retains the Ghanaian duo of Jeffrey Schlupp and Jordan Ayew with new contracts. Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy won’t be selling to Manchester City or United again, not after the regrettable sale of Kyle Walker in 2017. Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp says they are already lining up potential summer targets, preparing to spend big in the transfer market.
