Reliability: 4
In case Kyle Walker accepts Bayern's offer deciding not to extend his contract with Man City, the English champions will have to search for a new right-back. The citizens' main option may be PSG's fullback Achraf Hakimi. The Red and Blues are disappointed with the latest performances shown by the Morocco international and thus are willing to sell him. However, Achraf's agent noted that his client is still fully committed to the PSG project. If PSG sells Hakimi, only Gianluigi Donnarumma will remain in the team as a reminder of the stellar transfer campaign initiated back in summer 2021. Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos have already left Paris, and Georginho Wijnaldum will be sold soon.
Man City agree personal terms with Gvardiol

That's right, Guardiola could coach Gvardiol! Manchester City have agreed personal terms with the young Croatian centre-back. However, RB Leipzig does not want to let Josko go for less than 100 million euros. Thus, Gvardiol could become the most expensive defender in the history of the number one game. Man City will likely have to delay this move until next summer, when the 80 million clause in Gvardiol's contract is activated. Over two seasons in Germany, the 21-year-old Croatian made 87 appearances for RB Leipzig. According to the results of the 2022 World Cup, he got himself a place in the team of the tournament.
Griezmann lured to Saudi Arabia

Reliability: 3.5
Antoine Griezmann has emerged as a target for Saudi Pro League outfit Al Nassr. The player's agent met with the club's representatives in London, where talks between the parties took place. The Frenchman's deal with Atletico has quite a 'ridiculous' clause of 25 million euros, which is unlikely to stop the vice-champion of Saudi Arabia. However, as noted by Fabrizio Romano, the Frenchman loves Los Colchoneros project and has no desire to leave the club for the sheikhs' money. Last season, Griezmann scored 15 goals and delivered 17 assists in 38 La Liga appearances.
