Endrick to return to Real Madrid
Real Madrid fully plan to reintegrate Endrick into their first team despite his hit-and-miss form at Lyon, Fabrizio Romano reports.
The Brazilian joined the Ligue 1 side on loan in January and immediately hit the ground running. However, his hot start was followed by a months-long goal drought, and he only recently managed to get on the scoresheet again.
Despite this, Real Madrid are convinced that Endrick will get game time next season. It had been suggested that Chelsea could reignite their long-standing interest in the forward should he become available this summer, but this won’t materialise.
Chelsea at ‘war’ with Man Utd over Sadiki

Chelsea and Man Utd are “at war” over Sunderland midfielder Noah Sadiki, CaughtOffside claims.
Both clubs have held talks with the DR Congo international’s representatives as they seek midfield reinforcements ahead of the summer. Chelsea have identified Sadiki as a potential replacement for Enzo Fernandez.
However, it is claimed that Sunderland will only part with their summer signing for an “astronomical” figure in the region of €60 million. He still has a contract with the Black Cats until 2030.
Villa want big money for Rogers
Aston Villa will not allow Morgan Rogers to leave the club on the cheap despite acknowledging that he is exit-bound, as per TEAMtalk.
The England attacker is fielding strong interest from Chelsea and other Premier League giants, and it is undertstood that he is keen to take the next step this summer. Villa will sell to give themselves financial headroom and fund incoming business.
However, there will be no discounts on the player, with the Birmingham club looking at Liverpool’s €125m signing of Florian Wirtz as a benchmark for Rogers’ price tag. Villa believe that Rogers is of a similar level and therefore warrants a similar fee.

There is no guarantee that Bayer Leverkusen will loan or sell Kerim Alajbegovic this summer, BILD states.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina international has been re-signed by the Bundesliga side after starring at RB Salzburg this season. It has been suggested that he will be immediately sold on for a massive profit after returning from Austria this summer.
Chelsea and numerous other clubs are said to have already held talks with the teenage winger, but it is now asserted that Leverkusen intend to keep Alajbegovic and utilise him next season. Contrary to reports claiming that B04 want €20m or €30m, there is no formal price tag, the German outlet insists.
