Rashford linked – Jose Mourinho’s interest in Marcus Rashford meets a busy summer transfer web: Everton and Aston Villa eye William Osula, Levi Colwill’s Chelsea talks stall, Chelsea contract talks with Osula and Colwill remain unsettled, while Manchester United and Chelsea wei
For a loan spell at La Liga champions Barcelona, Marcus Rashford is still finding himself at the center of summer speculation—this time with Real Madrid in the mix.
Jose Mourinho wants Rashford at Real Madrid. The Manchester United forward, now 28, is on loan at Barcelona from Manchester United, and the idea of bringing him to the Bernabeu is already being talked about as the season heads toward its transfer decisions.
That same momentum is feeding a wider chain of interest and stalled negotiations across several clubs.. Everton and Aston Villa are interested in Newcastle’s 22-year-old Denmark forward William Osula. while Levi Colwill—England centre-back aged 23—is not currently in talks over an improved contract at Chelsea.. Those discussions could resume in the summer, leaving his next step tied to timing and leverage at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea’s situation also brushes up against other targets. Manchester United and Chelsea are both interested in signing Germany forward Karim Adeyemi this summer, with Borussia Dortmund willing to sell the 24-year-old for the right price.
In the background, Real Madrid’s own defensive planning is taking shape. Germany defender Antonio Rudiger, 33, will sign a one-year contract to stay at the Bernabeu, but the club remain interested in a proposal to sign Manchester City’s 24-year-old Croatian defender Josko Gvardiol.
Other Premier League links keep the rumor churn going. Lutsharel Geertruida, 25, a Netherlands centre-back on loan at Sunderland from RB Leipzig, is keen to continue playing in the Premier League next season amid interest from Everton.
Over at Manchester United, Tom Heaton, 40, is poised to sign a one-year contract extension to stay at the club for a sixth season—quiet news compared with the high-profile forward and defensive names, but a meaningful one for squad planning.
Liverpool’s summer thinking, meanwhile, circles a specific problem to solve: the club are plotting a move to sign 30-year-old Inter Milan and Netherlands defender Denzel Dumfries to bolster their options at right-back.
The picture that emerges is less like a single story and more like a cascade—one club’s interest pushing another player’s future into question, while contract talks elsewhere sit either on pause or moving toward summer again.
