Newcastle Set to Explore Wissa Sale as Transfer Rumours Swirl
Newcastle are set to explore selling Yoane Wissa this summer — a remarkable turn of events given that the DR Congo forward only arrived at St. James' Park less than a year ago in a deal worth up to £55 million.
The 29-year-old's potential departure comes as clubs across Europe weigh major transfer decisions ahead of the next window. Here is a roundup of Tuesday's leading transfer stories.
Delap digs in at Chelsea
Liam Delap, 23, has no desire to leave Chelsea and intends to remain at the club and compete for a starting role, even as the club face significant choices over their forward line.
Chelsea are also weighing their managerial options, having added Xabi Alonso, 44, the former Real Madrid head coach, and Fulham manager Marco Silva, 48, to their shortlist for a new boss.
Barcelona circle Alvarez
Barcelona have made contact with Atletico Madrid to gauge the Spanish club's position on a possible move for Argentina striker Julian Alvarez, 26, ahead of the summer window.
Gerrard eyed for Burnley role
Scott Parker's position as Burnley manager is under threat following the club's Premier League relegation. Steven Gerrard, 45, has emerged as a potential candidate to take over — the former Rangers and Aston Villa manager left Al-Ettifaq of Saudi Arabia by mutual consent in 2025 after 18 months in charge. Championship club Bristol City are also understood to be keen on Gerrard.
Sancho attracts Dortmund and Villa
Borussia Dortmund are closing in on re-signing Jadon Sancho when the English winger becomes a free agent in July, though Aston Villa remain in the running and hope to agree a deal for the 26-year-old.
Liverpool face Diomande setback
Liverpool's hopes of landing Yan Diomande may be frustrated — the 19-year-old Ivory Coast winger is expected to remain at RB Leipzig for at least one more season, according to journalist Christian Falk.
Kane talks and Vlahovic interest
Bayern Munich plan to open contract extension discussions with England striker Harry Kane, 32, before the season concludes, with the German champions keen to keep him beyond his current deal running until 2027.
Both Bayern Munich and AC Milan are monitoring the situation of Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, 26, with the Serbia international's contract yet to be renewed.
