Federico Bernardeschi could be on his way to the Premier League this summer.

The player would prefer to stay at Juventus and talks are ongoing between the club and his agent, but Calciomercato says he is wnated by teams in England as well as Inter and AC Milan.

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale will leave the club at the end of the season, with a move back to the Premier League most likely for the Wales international, says agent Jonathan Barnett.

The veteran forward, who spent last season back in the English top-flight on loan with former club Tottenham, has played just five times for Los Blancos in La Liga this term as Carlo Ancelotti's side reclaimed the league title from rivals Atletico Madrid.

Having spent much of the past three years on the fringes at Santiago Bernabeu, it brings to a close the Welshman's time in the Spanish capital - but a final decision on his future will not be made until he has played in this summer's Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers with his country.

Newcastle and Aston Villa are on top in the race to sign Leeds United star Kalvin Phillips this summer, per Football Insider.

The Premier League duo are ahead of Manchester United in the market moves for the Engand international.

Phillips spent much of the aftermath of Sunday's draw with Brighton on the Elland Road pitch, for what could have been his last home game with the club.

Arsenal are close to signing Aaron Hickey from Bologna, says Calciomercato.

The Premier League side are set to beat Napoli and AC Milan to the 19-year-old full-back this summer.

Heracles have sacked coach Frank Wormuth.

The Dutch side will fight for survival in the Eredivisie via the play-offs but will have to do so without the German coach, who will join Groningen this summer.

Real Madrid have finalised their deal for Kylian Mbappe, reports Marca.

The France international has been widely expected to join Los Blancos on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

But despite a last-gasp renewed offer from Parc des Princes, the forward seems destined for Santiago Bernabeu after tying up loose ends.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has named Manchester United's Paul Pogba and Liverpool's Thiago as two players he has drawn inspiration from, as the Lazio star prepares for an off-season where he remains linked with moves to the Red Devils and Paris Saint-Germain.

The Serbia international has been in fine form once more in Serie A this season, again stoking suggestion that a European powerhouse could mount a move for his services at the close of the campaign.

United have long been linked with a pursuit for the midfielder, and it is two Premier League players that the playmaker has now named as figures who helped shape his approach to the game.

Tottenham's Tanguy Ndombele won't be returning to Lyon on a permanent deal - according to Football Insider.

The midfielder re-joined the French club on loan in January and they have the option to buy him outright for £50 million ($61m).

Lyon won't take up that option, though, with Ndombele set to return to Spurs before potentially looking for an alternative move, with Antonio Conte unlikely to welcome him back into his squad.

"We're losing him", Thomas Tuchel finally confirms on Andreas Christensen. The deal has been completed weeks ago with Barcelona, it's already signed: Danish centre back will play for Barça next season. 🔵🔴🤝 #FCB

Arsenal loanee William Saliba admitted to being uncertain about his future after winning the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year award for 2021-22.

Saliba moved to Marseille on a season-long loan last summer after a frustrating start to his Arsenal career, with Mikel Arteta yet to hand him his competitive debut at Emirates Stadium.

The 21-year-old has proven his quality with Marseille this term, featuring in 36 Ligue 1 games to help the club fight for Champions League qualification, but he is not sure where he will be playing his football in 2022-23.

Arsenal want to arrange a swap deal involving Pablo Mari and Udinese's Nahuel Molina - according to Calciomercato.

Mari is currently on loan at Udinese, who are eager to secure his services on a permanent basis.

Arsenal will happily let Mari go on a permanent deal if they can have Molina in return, but the 24-year-old is currently valued at around £25 million ($31m).

Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is the subject of interest from Juventus - according to Calciomercato.

The Bianconeri are looking at the 27-year-old as a potential alternative signing to Manchester United's Paul Pogba, who has also been linked with Paris Saint-Germain.

Lazio will only let Milinkovic-Savic go if they receive an offer of €70 million (£60m/$73m) or more in the summer transfer window.

Liverpool are pushing to sign Jobe Bellingham from Birmingham City - according to The Mirror.

The 16-year-old is the brother of Borussia Dortmund and England star Jude Bellingham and is free to sign a professional contract with other clubs from next season.

Manchester City and Newcastle have also been linked with Bellingham, but Liverpool are hoping to win the race for his signature.

Arsenal are considering the sale of Brazilian centre-back Gabriel - according to Tuttosport.

Juventus are strongly interested in the 24-year-old and the Gunners may use him as a makeweight to land long-term midfield target Arthur.

Gabriel has been a key player for Arsenal in 2021-22, scoring four goals in 33 Premier League matches.

Fiorentina are working to bring down the price tag of Arsenal loanee Lucas Torreira - according to Corriere dello Sport.

La Viola have the option to buy the Uruguayan outright for €15 million (£13m/$16m), but are in talks with the Gunners to reduce that final fee.

Torreira wants to remain at Fiorentina after an impressive 2021-22 campaign and Arsenal are happy to let him go on a permanent basis.

Barcelona are closing in on a potential deal for Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves - according to Diario Sport.

The 25-year-old is still under contract at Molineux until 2024 but would be happy to move to Camp Nou this summer.

Newcastle are increasing their interest in Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson, per The Mirror.

The England international has played second fiddle all season to David De Gea at the Theatre of Dreams and seems unlikely to push past him for the starting jersey next term too.

That leaves him considering his options and the Magpies are mulling over a swoop for his services.

Striker's Atletico Madrid departure was announced Sunday

Aston Villa lead a trio of suitors for Luis Suarez following the news he will leave Atletico Madrid, stoking the chance for a reunion with former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, per Fichajes.

Now, they could make an audacious move for another ex-Blaugrana superstar, while Sevilla and Inter are also both keen on his services.
