With May just around the corner, the summer transfer window in Europe is about to open again, and there has been more transfer news in European football recently, let's take a look at some of the top 5 league transfer news from mainstream European sports media.
According to France Football News, Zinedine Zidane, the former decorated coach of Real Madrid, has kept a close eye on the dynamics of Manchester United's current manager Erik ten Hag, and he seems to be more inclined to take charge of the Red Devils in the Premier League than to take over the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, which undoubtedly adds new suspense to the future planning of Manchester United club management.
Meanwhile, according to ESPN, Bayern Munich are on the verge of facing a vacancy in the team's managerial position following the departure of Thomas Tuchel. But so far, they have not made any contact with Zidane. In addition, Sky Sports Germany pointed out that former Manchester United firefighting coach Ralph Rangnick and current Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi have entered the field of view of Bayern's hierarchy as potential candidates for the Bundesliga giant's manager.
The Telegraph of the United Kingdom has spotted Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, the 26-year-old Brazil international who has made it clear that he will remain with the Magpies next season and has shown his loyalty to the club by acquiring a new property in Newcastle.
It is worth noting that reports from The Times suggest that once Borussia Dortmund reach the Champions League final, Manchester United could receive an additional £3.4 million from Jadon Sancho's loan deal, which will undoubtedly provide more financial security for the Red Devils' summer transfer strategy this year.
According to Sky Sports Germany, Chelsea's 22-year-old Dutch left-back Ian Maatsen has expressed a strong desire to move to Borussia Dortmund on a permanent basis and is currently on loan at the Bundesliga giants.
