At the time, Davies was expected to leave and pursue a move to Man Utd or Real Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>He ultimately extended and then suffered an ACL injury that kept him out for a year. Though he is currently injured again, Man Utd are still interested in signing him, and Bayern could be tempted to sell to get his massive salary off the wage bill.<\/p>\n<h2>  Real Madrid willing to break the bank on Olise <\/h2>\n<div class=\"col-md-12 p-0 d-flex image-container\">\n<figure class=\"article-image\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/static.footballtransfers.com\/images\/cf\/image\/upload\/d9e9e1de-a073-407f-089c-54122bca0600\/width=1200,height=674,q=75,fit=cover,format=auto\" media=\"(min-width: 960px)\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/static.footballtransfers.com\/images\/cf\/image\/upload\/d9e9e1de-a073-407f-089c-54122bca0600\/width=640,height=359,q=75,fit=cover,format=auto\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/static.footballtransfers.com\/images\/cf\/image\/upload\/d9e9e1de-a073-407f-089c-54122bca0600\/width=375,height=211,q=75,fit=cover,format=auto\" media=\"(min-width: 320px)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-image-size=\"retina\" class=\"lazyload\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Michael Olise\" src=\"https:\/\/static.footballtransfers.com\/images\/cf\/image\/upload\/d9e9e1de-a073-407f-089c-54122bca0600\/w=750,h=422,quality=75,fit=cover,format=auto\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><figcaption>\u00a9 IMAGO &#8211; Michael Olise<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Falk<\/b> also reports that Real Madrid would be willing to break the bank on Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise.<\/p>\n<p>Los Blancos have been credited with an interest in the France international, and the journalist corroborates that president Florentino Perez, in particular, is keen on signing Olise.<\/p>\n<p>Falk claims that Perez would be willing to potentially go as high as \u20ac165 million for Olise, which would make him the third-most-expensive player ever. Naturally, such a fee would make Bayern consider cashing in on Olise even if they insist that they are not a selling club.<\/p>\n<h2>  Chelsea to sign young left-back? <\/h2>\n<p>Chelsea are closing in on a deal for Union Santa Fe left-back Mateo del Blanco, according to <b>Renzo Pantich<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year-old is on the verge of reaching a century of appearances for Union, and he could head to Europe in the summer after January transfers to Boca Juniors and River Plate fell through.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea would initially look to park Del Blanco at BlueCo sister club Strasbourg instead of immediately integrating him into their first team. If a deal is finalised, Del Blanco will become the Blues&#8217; fifth signing of the upcoming summer window.<\/p>\n<h2>  Juventus want Silva <\/h2>\n<div class=\"col-md-12 p-0 d-flex image-container\">\n<figure class=\"article-image\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/static.footballtransfers.com\/images\/cf\/image\/upload\/3f04c842-4bce-4b4c-b5b8-80e4e161da00\/width=1200,height=674,q=75,fit=cover,format=auto\" media=\"(min-width: 960px)\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/static.footballtransfers.com\/images\/cf\/image\/upload\/3f04c842-4bce-4b4c-b5b8-80e4e161da00\/width=640,height=359,q=75,fit=cover,format=auto\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/static.footballtransfers.com\/images\/cf\/image\/upload\/3f04c842-4bce-4b4c-b5b8-80e4e161da00\/width=375,height=211,q=75,fit=cover,format=auto\" media=\"(min-width: 320px)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-image-size=\"retina\" class=\"lazyload\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Bernardo Silva\" src=\"https:\/\/static.footballtransfers.com\/images\/cf\/image\/upload\/3f04c842-4bce-4b4c-b5b8-80e4e161da00\/w=750,h=422,quality=75,fit=cover,format=auto\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><figcaption>\u00a9 IMAGO &#8211; Bernardo Silva<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Juventus are chasing a deal for Man City captain Bernardo Silva, according to Ben Jacobs.<\/p>\n<p>The Portugal international is out of contract in the summer, and there have so far been no talks over an extension. As a result, it is fully expected that he will leave the club on a free transfer.<\/p>\n<p>Silva has been heavily linked with a return to Benfica, but Juventus also hold a &#8220;concrete&#8221; interest in the 31-year-old. Other European clubs, as well as sides in Saudi Arabia, are also monitoring his situation.<\/p>\n<h2>  Man Utd to agree Mainoo, Maguire deals <\/h2>\n<p>Man Utd are on the verge of agreeing fresh terms with Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire, according to <b><b>The Athletic<\/b><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Mainoo would have been out of contract in 2027, though there was an option to extend his deal by a further 12 months. His new contract will run until 2031 and will include a significant pay increase.<\/p>\n<p>As for Maguire, who would have been a free agent this summer, he will be handed a one-year extension with an optional second season. Unlike Mainoo, the defender is likely to be on a reduced salary.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-md-12 p-0 d-flex image-container\">\n<figure class=\"article-image\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/static.footballtransfers.com\/images\/cf\/image\/upload\/bc6fcb5c-fdcb-4889-f901-af3f31225b00\/width=1200,height=674,q=75,fit=cover,format=auto\" media=\"(min-width: 960px)\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/static.footballtransfers.com\/images\/cf\/image\/upload\/bc6fcb5c-fdcb-4889-f901-af3f31225b00\/width=640,height=359,q=75,fit=cover,format=auto\" media=\"(min-width: 480px)\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/static.footballtransfers.com\/images\/cf\/image\/upload\/bc6fcb5c-fdcb-4889-f901-af3f31225b00\/width=375,height=211,q=75,fit=cover,format=auto\" media=\"(min-width: 320px)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-image-size=\"retina\" class=\"lazyload\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Harry Maguire\" src=\"https:\/\/static.footballtransfers.com\/images\/cf\/image\/upload\/bc6fcb5c-fdcb-4889-f901-af3f31225b00\/w=750,h=422,quality=75,fit=cover,format=auto\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><figcaption>\u00a9 IMAGO &#8211; Harry Maguire<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>  More transfer rumours <\/h2>\n<p>Chelsea are among the clubs interested in Genk wonderkid Konstantinos Karetsas.
