Transfer Rater: Fabinho to Manchester United, Stefan de Vrij to Liverpool

The latest transfer rumours from around the world.

Things change in the blink of an eye in football. The Football Whispers Index takes the latest transfer rumours and gives them a score out of five; the higher the score, the more realistic and reliable the whisper.

Here are today's top five emerging whispers for the summer. And keep an eye on Transfer Talk for all the latest gossip.

Mario Balotelli - Nice to Borussia Dortmund

Balotelli's agent Mino Raiola claims the ex-Liverpool striker will move to Dortmund for next season. Raiola was spotted at BVB's headquarters in Germany and was asked if there was a possibility that the Italian striker would be arriving.

"Yes," he told Bild. "Balotelli will play for Dortmund." It could all be smoke and mirrors, with rumours Raiola was there to talk about a youth target. But there is no smoke without fire and it could signal that the Nice forward is set to leave this summer.

Fabinho - Monaco to Manchester United

Manchester United are favourites to land Monaco full-back Fabinho. It is understood the Brazilian was keen on signing for Atletico Madrid but the decision to uphold the Spanish club's transfer ban has ended those plans.

The 23-year-old, who is believed to be a Manchester City target too, can play at right-back or central midfield. United boss Jose Mourinho sees him as the perfect addition in the middle of the park alongside Paul Pogba and Ander Herrera, as well as providing cover for Antonio Valencia.

Willy Caballero - Manchester City to Chelsea

Caballero has enjoyed a break in New York with his family since being released by Manchester City. Now he appears to have a straight decision to make between newly promoted Newcastle United and champions Chelsea.

With Asmir Begovic's move to Bournemouth leaving a hole in Antonio Conte's squad, the former Malaga keeper would provide cover for Real Madrid transfer target Thibaut Courtois.

Stefan de Vrij - Lazio to Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp's side need to look at centre-back alternatives after the Virgil van Dijk fiasco. Dutch defender De Vrij, valued at £26.4 million, has emerged as the next target.

The Reds have reportedly made a bid of around £17.2m for the 25-year-old, short of where the Rome club value him, but there is a deal to be done for the highly rated Netherlands international.

Faouzi Ghoulam - Napoli to Liverpool

As well as needing a centre-back, Liverpool are also looking to add a left-back to their squad. James Milner deputised for the out-of-favour Alberto Moreno impressively last season but there is a need to have someone in that role who is a natural. Algerian international Ghoulam, who can also play further forward, featured in 38 games in all competitions last season, all at left-back. Napoli are looking for around £17m for the defender and will face competition from West Brom for his signature.

Davido & Iceprince’s Fight: See Full Details Of What Really Happened In Warri Last Night

Image
Davido and Iceprince ‘Last night, an event (Delta Alive) organised by Shina Peller (owner of Quilox night club) went down in Warri. The show had Davido, Lil Kesh, Ice Prince, CDQ and others as headliners. According to an inside source, trouble started from the airport when Davido was picked up in a G-Wagon while Ice Prince was picked up with a saloon car. The gesture infuriated Ice Prince and he let the organisers know he wasn’t pleased. Davido got to hear of his complains and was angry too. Then the issue escalated during the concert when Ice Prince was made to perform before Lil Kesh, a move that’s seen as an insult to the bigger artiste. Ice Prince made it an issue back stage and Davido who had been boiling from the car complaint and obviously a close friend of Lil Kesh jumped in defence of Kesh and things got messy. Our source said, ‘when they got back to the hotel, Davido was really pissed so much that he went to Ice Prince’s door and started shouting and banging on the door...

Report: Ahmed Musa 'agrees' to join Fenerbache

Image
Ahmed Musa has reportedly agreed in principle to sign a deal with Fenerbahce and is expected to complete a £17.4m move from Leicester to the Turkish club. Fernabache are believed to have started negotiations with Leicester over a potential deal,  according to Turkish newspaper Gunes . The striker is said to have given a green light to the deal after being asked if he would be happy to join Fenerbahçe, who finished third in the Super Lig last season. If he moves to the Turkish side, it would bring to an end an underwhelming stint at Leicester after struggling to make an impact following a £15million move from CSKA Moscow last summer. The 24-year-old scored just four goals in 31 appearances for Leicester City last season. Two of the goals came in the FA Cup win against Everton. Musa played just 11 mins in the Foxes last seven Premier League games of the season.

Apostle Suleman opens up on new allegations by Stephanie Otobo

Image
Apostle Johnson Suleman, General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, has vowed not to allow allegations made against him by his alleged lover, Miss Stephanie Otobo, go unchallenged. Apostle Suleman, who spoke to The Sun through his Media Adviser, Phrank Shaibu, dared Otobo to prove all her allegations in court. He said: “It is not for her to probe the wisdom of the mother in going to beg for forgiveness. The mother has done what she felt was right and we have responded to the mother’s appeal for forgiveness. “Can’t you see the contradiction in the claim of being poisoned by Apostle? First, she claimed that the poison was given to her by Apostle in a hotel. Next she said it was in a dream. Perhaps, she would come up with another bizarre tale. Seriously, even my three -year- old daughter can do better”. On Otobo’s claims that if Apostle Suleman presents his international passport, it will reveal that both of them travelled together on a certain day t...
