Aston Villa Hopes Champions League Can Help Them Sign Lookman
Aston Villa are eyeing a summer move for Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman and hope Champions League football will help seal the deal.
The Atalanta star is likely to leave the Serie A side at the end of the season, with several clubs across England, Italy, and Spain keeping tabs on him.
Villa are reportedly confident that qualifying for the Champions League for a second year in a row could boost their chances of landing the 27-year-old.
Atalanta are said to be asking for around €60 million to let the pacey winger go. Lookman, who joined the Italian club from RB Leipzig in 2022, has grown into one of their key attacking threats.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
