insider Transfer News: Diomande bombshell, Bouaddi latest, Tonali to Spurs?
Football news expert insider has provided an update on several major transfer stories, including the latest on Yan Diomande, Ayyoub Bouaddi and .
Sandro Tonali to Spurs latest
Hotspur are firmly in the race to sign Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali this summer and Romano has confirmed that Spurs are actively working on a deal to sign him.
He told his YouTube channel: “There has been speculation that Tottenham are being used by those involved in the deal to attract interest from other clubs. My understanding is that this is not the case. Tottenham are genuine contenders for Tonali, they are taking this opportunity very seriously, and they remain firmly in the race.
“The £75 million bid reported by the media over the last 12 hours was actually submitted several days ago. As I reported, Tottenham entered the race strongly and followed that up with an official offer to Newcastle United. The bid was rejected because Newcastle want a higher fee.
“This is a normal part of negotiations. The first offer for a player of this calibre is rarely accepted unless there is a release clause involved. Tottenham's intention was to send a clear message to both Newcastle and the player, demonstrating their commitment by submitting an official offer immediately.
“That bid was quickly rejected, but it is no longer the most important aspect of the story. Tottenham remain in discussions with people close to Tonali and are working on the possibility of submitting a new proposal to Newcastle.
“Tottenham continue to work hard on this deal and remain determined to secure Sandro Tonali. At this stage, this is the most significant development I can share regarding the situation.”
Rodri transfer update
Manchester City want to sign Elliot Anderson as a replacement for Bernardo Silva this summer, but additional midfield change could take place at the Etihad Stadium, as per Romano.
“Another midfield situation worth monitoring, not only this summer but also over the next year, concerns . His contract with Man City expires in the summer of 2027,” the transfer expert said.
“Rodri is not an ordinary player. He is a Ballon d'Or winner and one of the finest midfielders of his generation. Because of his status, his contract situation deserves close attention.
“Man City offered Rodri a new contract in May and negotiations are ongoing. However, my understanding is that the two parties remain some distance apart and there is currently no agreement in place.
“There is still plenty of time before the contract expires, but as things stand there is no breakthrough. Financial aspects and personal considerations will both play important roles in determining his future.
“It is not guaranteed that Rodri will leave immediately. One possibility is that he remains at Man City for another season and then departs as a free agent in 2027. Equally, if he stays, there will be ample time for both parties to continue negotiations and potentially reach an agreement.”
Yan Diomande to Liverpool heats up
RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande is ’s preferred candidate to replace Mohamed Salah and they are set to return to the table with a second bid shortly.
“Liverpool have already seen a €100 million offer rejected. The proposal was structured as €90 million plus €10 million in add-ons. Despite that setback, Liverpool remain fully committed to pursuing the player.
“I can confirm that Liverpool will return to the negotiating table. The club are working intensively on the player's side of the deal, presenting a strong financial package and outlining their long-term project.
“Behind the scenes, Liverpool are doing everything possible to secure the player's approval. They believe he can become an important part of their future plans.
“RB Leipzig continue to insist that they want to keep Diomande. Their preference is to offer him a new contract, improve his salary and include a release clause that would allow him to make a decision about his future in 2027 after gaining further Champions League experience.
“However, with each passing week it becomes more difficult to retain the player. Interest from multiple clubs continues to grow and Liverpool are being particularly aggressive in their pursuit.
“Liverpool are prepared to exceed the €100 million mark with a new proposal. They are working simultaneously on the player's contract package and on negotiations with the club in a
