According to Calciomercato, via Il Corriere dello Sport, Manchester United have made an offer in the region of €50 million for AC Milan’s star centre-back, Alessio Romagnoli.
Romagnoli is valued at £36 million already by Transfermarkt, despite being only 23, a tender age for a centre-back.
Romagnoli has been a regular at the highest level in Italy for years now and has proven himself to be one of the finest centre-backs in Europe. He is also the perfect centre-back for Mourinho’s Manchester United.
The list of the Red Devils’ current options in this position is uninspiring; Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof. Only Bailly stands out as being of supreme quality, and unfortunately, his injury record makes him an unreliable presence.
The Breakdown
This United side lacks what the club’s great sides of old all had – an ever-present rock at the back. Be it Rio Ferdinand, Steve Bruce or Nemanja Vidic. Those individuals were the granite foundations upon which all of those league and cup triumphs were built.
Alessio Romagnoli could be that pillar of certainty for a new generation of successful United sides.
Time is on his side, and in Mourinho, he would find a manager at Old Trafford who knows how to organise and cultivate an elite defensive unit. Mourinho would make Romagnoli a better player, and Romagnoli would make United a better team.
The Italian international has all the attributes needed to make it as a world class modern centre-back.
He originally came through the youth ranks at Roma as a midfielder, before having his position converted. This experience in the middle of the park developed the youngster into an excellent ball player, who is confident in possession and able to instigate attacks from the back with regularity.

His more traditionally defensive skills don’t let him down either, with his focus, positional sense and decision making being widely praised, and standing out as much as his physical prowess and aerial ability do. Romagnoli is a leader and has been compared with the legendary Alessandro Nesta for a reason.
He is exactly what Mourinho and Manchester United need.
Nottingham Forest are currently without first choice left-back Max Lowe, who is out until the end of April with a groin injury, leaving 32-year-old midfielder Jack Colback to fill in at that spot as they seek a spot in the Championship play-off places.
However, if the East Midlands club acted on their interest five years ago in James Justin, they would have not only have had a 19-year-old Premier League potential defender on their hands back then, they would have had a more than adequate replacement for Lowe right now too.
According to The Sun back in 2017, Forest tabled a £1m bid for the then-Luton Town star, with former manager Mark Warburton of the belief that he was ready for Championship football.
However, that move failed to materialise, and Justin remained with the Hatters for another two seasons, helping them to extraordinary back-to-back promotions, leaving them with Championship football when he joined Leicester City in 2019 for a fee worth around £6m.
Establishing himself in his first season as one of the league’s biggest bargains that season, he ranked among full-backs in the Premier League across his debut campaign in the top flight in the top 4% for successful pressure percentage per 90 (36.5%), top 9% for successful dribble percentage per 90 (76.5%) and top 7% for ball recoveries per 90 (11.12).
Now aged 24 with a market valuation of £15.3m, a whopping 1430% more than the £1m fee Forest offered, the defender has become a versatile option for the Premier League side. He is able to fill in at both left-back and right-back when required, as well as possessing the intelligence and ability to play as a defensive midfielder.
Once described by Journalist Liam Canning as “class” and “first rate”, the Foxes full-back has begun to re-establish himself as a key man within Brendan Rodgers’ squad, having just returned from a cruciate ligament rupture injury, which kept him out of action for 331 days.

It’s clear that Forest made a monumental mistake not to sign Justin from Luton when he was a bargain pick-up for the club, and even if he couldn’t have helped the club towards promotion, he would have had an excellent re-sell rate that the Championship side have missed out on.

Glasgow Rangers are back in action for the first time since Christmas this afternoon as they prepare to welcome Motherwell to Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership.
The Light Blues need a positive result to bounce back from the disappointment of losing 2-1 to league leaders Hearts at Tynecastle last weekend.
In order to get back to winning ways in front of their own supporters, Danny Rohl should change the formation that he started the game against Hearts with.
Why Rangers should change their formation against Motherwell
The Light Blues have played a 3-4-2-1 system with Max Aarons and Jayden Meghoma as wing-back options in the last two games, and only scored two goals – against Hibernian and Hearts – in that time.
Chalkboard
Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.
Aarons, in particular, has not looked up to the task in possession to make that formation work, as he does not carry enough of a threat in one-on-one situations to be the team’s only outlet on the right flank.
Per Sofascore, the English wing-back only completed one of his 12 attempted crosses and created just two chances in 150 minutes of action against Hibernian and Hearts, whilst failing to create a single ‘big chance’ for the side.
Aarons has only created one ‘big chance’ and is yet to register a single assist in 12 Premiership appearances for Rangers this season so far, so it is not a surprise to see him struggling offensively in a wing-back role.
This is why Rohl should change the formation to play a more defined four at the back system, with the captain James Tavernier at right-back, and drop the Bournemouth loanee from the side.
How Rohl can permanently bench Aarons
The German head coach can permanently bench Aarons by moving to a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation on a regular basis, with Tavernier or the fit-again Dujon Sterling starting at right-back instead, by unleashing Findlay Curtis ahead of him.
Bringing the academy graduate into the side, starting with today’s clash with Motherwell, over the Englishman would allow Rohl to change the formation from a 3-4-2-1 to a 4-2-3-1.

As you can see in the XIs above, bringing Curtis in for Aarons against Motherwell could completely change the system, with the skipper moving to centre-back, Mikey Moore moving out wide, and the youngster coming in on the left flank.
The 19-year-old forward, as expected, is still learning and developing as a player, which has resulted in a few subpar performances. Against Hibernian, for example, the Scottish teenager only created one chance and lost six of his nine ground duels in 69 minutes of action.
However, the “Boy Wonder” has shown plenty of signs of promise in a Rangers shirt this season, including the goal in the clip above against Panathinaikos in the Champions League qualifying round.
The left-sided attacker, per Transfermarkt, has scored three goals in 407 minutes of football across 15 appearances in all competitions for the Light Blues this term, which shows that he does have the potential to offer a threat in the final third.
Giving Curtis more first-team exposure to help him adapt to playing for the Gers in the Premiership could fast-track his development and help to create a quality player for the club moving forward.

Providing an academy player with a platform to develop is more helpful to Rangers for the long-term than playing a loanee who they do not have an option to sign permanently, in Aarons, out of position as a wing-back.
Rangers submit opening loan bid to sign a big upgrade on Aasgaard
Rangers have made an enquiry over a possible deal to sign a star who would be a big upgrade on Thelo Aasgaard.
ByDan Emery
That is why Rohl should permanently bench the former Norwich and Valencia man by changing the formation to improve the attack and offer Curtis more minutes to aid his development.
The change in formation to a more attacking 4-2-3-1 could leave Aarons permanently benched because Tavernier and Sterling could carry out the right-back duties as starters, leaving him as a back-up option.
Arsenal will compete with Aston Villa for the signature of Philippe Coutinho, according to Spanish reports (via Sport Witness).
The lowdown
Villa loaned in Coutinho from FC Barcelona in January and negotiated an option to buy for £33million in the summer.
They will, however, still have to agree a contract with the player, who will reportedly need to take a pay cut to move to Villa Park permanently.
Villa have already opened talks with the Spanish giants, 90Min claim, presumably over the precise structure of the deal.
The latest
The report from Spain states that Coutinho’s performances in claret and blue have ‘aroused the interest’ of other teams, and Arsenal are among them.
The Gunners have ‘already been in contact’ with the Brazilian’s entourage to make their admiration known.
Coutinho is expected to make a decision on where he’ll be playing his football in May.
The verdict
Coutinho has been fantastic for Villa so far, with Steven Gerrard hailing him as a ‘joy to watch’.
He’s scored four times and provided three assists in his 10 appearances, directly contributing to a goal every 111 minutes.
His average WhoScored rating of 7.28/10 is the highest in the Villa squad, ahead of the likes of John McGinn (7.17) and Matty Cash (6.98).
But who would he choose if it came down to Villa or Arsenal?
Well, Arsenal may be able to offer him a larger salary. Their current wage ceiling (£200,000 per week) is significantly larger than that of Villa (£120,000).

But, on the other hand, Coutinho knows that he’s likely to have a starting role nailed down at Villa (Gerrard has selected him for the last nine).
And at Arsenal, he’d be competing with Martin Odegaard, currently ‘in the form of his life’ (in the words of Sky Sports’ Micah Richards).
In other news, links to a Manchester United have emerged.
Manchester City are now the ‘favourite’ to sign Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland, after news emerged claiming that Pep Guardiola’s side sit in ‘pole position’ for the striker.
The Lowdown: Interest in Haaland
City’s interest in the 21-year-old has been widely reported for the past few months after the club failed to secure the signing of Tottenham star Harry Kane. The Sky Blues have reportedly joined Real Madrid as the frontrunners in the race for the youngster’s signature.
Last month, Dortmund advisor Matthias Sammer admitted that he is aware that the Citizens are closely monitoring the Norwegian. He even revealed that he ‘fainted’ after hearing about the proposal that the Premier League champions are plotting.
[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/man-city-latest-developments-2/” title=”Man City latest developments!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]
The Latest: City’s huge boost
According to a report from Sky Sports Deutschland (via Sport Witness), Guardiola’s side have emerged as the ‘favourite’ in ‘recent weeks’ to sign the Norway international, and they are currently in ‘pole position’ to complete the transfer in the summer.
Sebastian Kehl, who is set to become Dortmund’s new sporting director, has ruled out renewal talks with the striker, although Sky have claimed that Real Madrid are still in the picture for a move for Haaland.
The Verdict: Exceptional signing
Since bursting onto the scene as a teenager after joining from Red Bull Salzburg, Haaland has gone on to attract international attention due to his emphatic goalscoring record. In just 83 matches for Dortmund, the 21-year-old has netted a sensational 80 goals.
As a result, he ranks in the 99th percentile for non-penalty goals, non-penalty expected goals and non-penalty expected goals plus expected assists among positional peers in Europe’s top five leagues (via FBRef), so it is easy to see why the likes of Arsene Wenger have labelled him a “super talent”.

In other news: £36m-rated star who Zabaleta absolutely loves could now join Man City
Newcastle United have learned the latest information regarding the future of transfer target Diego Carlos, who the Magpies are still keen to sign after a failed attempt in January.
What’s the story?
According to The Mirror, the 28-year-old extended his contract at Sevilla last year, with a £67m release clause inserted into the deal which wasn’t announced by the Spanish club publicly.
Speaking to Spanish outlet Mucho Deporte [via The Mirror], Sevilla chief Monchi revealed: “We’ve renewed [the contracts of] Diego Carlos and [Lucas] Ocampos 14 months ago. We didn’t announce it for strategic reasons.”
Newcastle now find themselves in an even trickier predicament in their attempt to lure the Brazilian defender to Tyneside, with a fee which would substantially beat their record transfer fee paid for Joelinton in 2019 almost certainly required.
Newcastle must swoop for Carlos
Despite the price tag, Newcastle will be seriously backed financially in the summer window by PIF, with the consortium having the deepest pockets in football. Therefore, the £67m release clause shouldn’t immediately prevent the Magpies from doing a deal.
The centre-back, who turns 29 on Tuesday, has been a kingpin for Sevilla this season, with the La Liga outfit still in the title race despite Real Madrid’s hefty eight-point lead at the summit.
Moreover, Los Nervionenses have the Spanish top-flight’s best defence, having conceded just 18 goals in 27 games. Carlos has been a major contributor to that feat, having played in 25 of those matches.
The Brazilian has already made 127 appearances for Sevilla after signing from Ligue 1 outfit Nantes in 2019. However, with Carlos having made 36 appearances in all competitions this term, the 28-year-old is on course for his best season at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium after making 46 and 45 appearances over the previous two seasons respectively.
There is absolutely no doubt that the £52k-per-week defender would be a huge upgrade on any of Newcastle’s current defensive options, which will certainly be needed in the summer.
Despite their excellent form of late, the Geordies still have the fourth-worst defence in the English top flight, having conceded 47 goals in 27 matches.
In fairness, the addition of Dan Burn from Brighton in January has made a difference, with the Blyth-born centre-back conceding just three goals in five league appearances for the Magpies.

However, despite being nearly 30, the Newcastle colossus is in just his third season of regular Premier League football and doesn’t have the same pedigree as Diego Carlos, who has plenty of Champions League experience as well as regularly playing top-flight football at a high level.
Along with Burn, the likes of Fabian Schär, Ciaran Clark, Jamal Lascelles and Federico Fernandez aren’t of the standard that Newcastle want to reach under the new ownership, making the Brazilian a significant upgrade on Eddie Howe’s current defensive options.

Chelsea have now made contact with the agents of a “special” attacker, who’s also being targeted by Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.
Blues looking to sign new attacker despite Pedro's fine form
Joao Pedro has proven to be a solid signing for the Blues, with the Brazilian grabbing his fifth Premier League goal of the season in the 2-2 draw against Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon.
The former Brighton man was given the nod at centre-forward at St. James’ Park, as Liam Delap remains sidelined due to a shoulder injury, but he has also regularly featured in the number 10 role, showcasing his versatility.
With Cole Palmer recently returning from injury, and scoring in the 2-0 victory against Everton earlier this month, Enzo Maresca appears to be well-stocked in attacking midfield, but the west Londoners are now stepping up their move for an up-and-coming talent.
That is according to a report from TEAMtalk, which states Chelsea are now becoming increasingly keen on Genk star Konstantinos Karetsas, with the youngster likely to leave the Belgian club at some point in 2026.
PSG and Bayern Munich are also in the race for Karetsas, so there could be fierce competition for his signature, but the Blues are now stepping up their approach, having told the 18-year-old’s camp they want to bring him to west London.
The teenager is regarded as one of the world’s best young talents, and he is capable of playing anywhere in the final third, although he has predominantly featured as an attacking midfielder throughout his career to date.

Lauded as “special” by scout Ben Mattinson, the Greek attacker is enjoying a very impressive campaign, which has earned very high praise from fellow scout Jacek Kulig.
The Genk-born maestro has shown a keen eye for setting up chances, amassing a very respectable 12 goals and assists in all competitions.

That is because Maresca may find it difficult to involve Karetsas a lot to begin with, given that he already has Palmer and Pedro to choose from, but on a long-term basis, Karetsas could be a fantastic addition to the squad.
Jurgen Klopp may be handed a Liverpool blow as the Reds face potentially being without another player for their Premier League clash with West Ham today .
The Lowdown: Injuries mounting?
Having sit out the midweek FA Cup victory at home to Norwich City, Klopp has already been missing a fair few first team stars through fitness concerns and injuries.
Indeed, big name duo Roberto Firmino and Thiago Alcantara sat out the contest due to their groin and hamstring problems respectively.
Klopp confirmed the pair will not feature today either with midfield ace Naby Keita, who didn’t take part at Anfield on Wednesday, a doubt to face West Ham.
As more injury news emerges, it appears the Reds could also be without another player.
The Latest: Jones a ‘doubt’…
As confirmed by Klopp, and relayed by Liverpool journalist James Pearce of The Athletic, young midfielder Curtis Jones is also a ‘doubt’ alongside Keita for today’s Merseyside encounter.
The 21-year-old featured against Norwich in mid-week but came off at half-time after complaining of some discomfort in the thigh area.
The Verdict: Potential blow for Klopp…
Jones, a tidy option in the centre, could be a sore miss if he is certainly ruled out for Liverpool this afternoon, especially considering they are already short in the middle.
The English ace has averaged a higher pass accuracy (91%) than any of Klopp’s first teamers with more than one Premier League start – just summing up his reliability in possession and ability to dictate the play midfield.

He’s also the joint-seventh most threatening Liverpool player in terms of shots at goal per 90, averaging the same number as Roberto Firmino (1.3), with pundit Ian Wright having also praised Jones’ ability in the past.
The former Arsenal star heralded Liverpool’s starlet as an ‘unbelievable’ find for the Reds and news of his possible absence will be a dampener amid all the other selection issues.

Wolves currently have a number of players in their squad who will see their contracts expire at the end of the season.
One of those is midfielder Joao Moutinho, who has racked up 166 appearances for the Old Gold across all competitions since his arrival from AS Monaco in 2018 in a deal worth a reported £5m.
Despite being a regular figure in Bruno Lage’s side this season, having started 24 of their 28 league games, there’s every chance that this campaign will be the 35-year-old’s last at Molineux unless he puts pen to paper on a new deal before his current one runs out.
If the Portuguese veteran does wave goodbye to the club in the summer, the Old Gold may not necessarily need to immediately go out and dive into the transfer market to sign a replacement for him, as they may already have an ideal long-term figure in their ranks who could potentially break into the team in the potential absence of Moutinho.
Connor Ronan has been on the books at Wolves since he joined their under-18 side back in 2014. Since then, the Irishman has gone on to make 35 appearances across their under-18 and under-23 teams, scoring five goals and providing seven assists but making just 13 senior appearances.
The 24-year-old has also been on quite a few loan deals away from Molineux, the latest of which has taken him to Scottish club St Mirren, where he currently on loan until the end of the season.
During his time with the Premiership side, the midfielder has appeared in 22 of their 30 league games, scored seven goals and provided three assists along the way. That has earned him an overall performance rating of 6.97/10 from WhoScored, making him the Buddies’ third-highest rated player, an indicator as to how well he has been doing in his latest loan spell.
It didn’t take him long to get settled in Paisley either, with St Mirren manager Jim Goodwin describing Ronan’s debut as “outstanding”.

With this in mind, the Irishman could well have put himself in the frame to be a regular senior figure for the Old Gold next season, finally getting his chance to shine and potentially saving the club millions in their potential search for a replacement for Moutinho.
In other news: “Lucrative offers..:” Insider drops big claim which will have the Wolves faithful terrified
Liverpool heaped the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester City last night, with a brilliant 2-0 away win against an in-form Arsenal side, with goals from Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino enough to secure victory and move the Reds within one point of top spot.
However, it was Scottish left-back Andy Robertson who was man-of-the-match, earning a match rating of 8.2 after another typical high-energy, aggressive performance which resulted in him earning an assist.
The former Hull City and Dundee United star completed 78% of his passes as well as having an impressive 105 touches of the ball – more than anyone else on the pitch as Liverpool looked to exploit the left flank as often as possible, with the defender also completing two crosses.

On the defensive end, Robertson was solid as usual, making four tackles, four clearances and three interceptions as he pocketed Bukayo Saka all game – with the Reds star not being dribbled past once and winning all five of his ground duels too.
It was another fantastic performance from the best left-back in the world, with the last time he dropped a match rating in the Premier League lower than 7.0 was back in December during Liverpool’s 3-1 win against Newcastle, and his form could prove crucial in the fight for the league title.”I don’t like games in hand much, I would rather points. I would still rather be in Man City’s position,” Robertson said after the match.”They are a point ahead. They are a fantastic team, one of the best in the world. Then it’s a sprint to the finish line.”We’re in the race so we need to focus on what we’re doing. We still have to go to their place.”Among full-backs in Europe’s top five leagues and continental competitions, Robertson ranks in the top 5% for carries into the final third per game (2.59), top 2% for touches per 90 (88.93) and top 2% for goal-creating actions per 90 (0.51) over the last year.His quality and ability will be massive for the team heading towards the business end of the season, as Jurgen Klopp’s men could still secure the elusive quadruple – which would arguably be the greatest achievement by an English team in modern history.In other news: Liverpool already have dream Gomez heir in “complete” 20 y/o who plays like Hummels
