Villa’s Kamara on Chelsea watchlist – Monday’s gossip

Aston Villa midfielder Boubacar Kamara has reportedly joined the summer watchlists of Chelsea, Inter Milan and Al-Hilal after returning from injury. The gossip roundup also reports interest in several other players and possible managerial candidates, highlighting how clubs are assessing transfer options ahead of future windows.

Liverpool and Ronald Araujo are expected to wait until the end of the season before deciding whether to make his loan from Barcelona permanent for £47m. Manchester United could make a large offer for Nottingham Forest defender Murillo, while reports name Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann as leading candidates if Michael Carrick leaves, though Mauricio Pochettino is the bookmakers’ favourite. Other reported targets include Lens defender Ismaelo Ganiou, BK Häcken midfielder Abdoulaye Doumbia, AC Milan’s Koni de Winter, Minnesota United forward Kelvin Yeboah, Palmeiras forward Vitor Roque and Manchester City defender Rayan Aït-Nouri.
