Football gossip: Mateta, Beto, Chiesa, Zirkzee, Kolo Muani, Fernandes, Ederson

Premier League clubs are on high alert as Nottingham Forest have submitted a £35m bid for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. The Frenchman, 28, has been linked with a move to the City Ground and Forest's intentions suggest they want to make him their top summer signing.

Meanwhile, Everton are also keen to sign Mateta, but they will only let him leave if they can bring in a replacement for £40m. This is according to reports from the Athletic, which state that Palace have refused to sell Mateta unless they receive an offer of at least this amount.

The interest in Mateta comes as another Premier League club makes a move for a key player. Chelsea are reportedly close to signing Liverpool left-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, with the England international linked to a £100m deal.

Alexander-Arnold has been a key player for Liverpool since joining the club from Charlton Athletic in 2015. He has won numerous honors, including four Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues.

In other transfer news, Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Manchester City's Nicolas Otamendi to replace Gabriel Magalhaes at the back. The Gunners have been linked with a deal worth around £30m for the Argentina international.

The transfer window is set to open on June 27, and clubs will be eager to make their summer signings before then. As always, there are plenty of rumors and reports circulating about who is going where, so stay tuned for all the latest news and updates.
 
Ugh, I'm so done with these transfer windows 🤯! It's like every year, it's a mad dash to sign players before anyone else does, and it always seems to end in one team losing out on their target player 😔. And £35m for Mateta? That's just crazy talk 💸! I get that Palace want to hold out for top dollar, but £40m is ridiculous. Can't we just have a sensible transfer window where clubs can actually negotiate without it being a war zone? 🤷‍♀️
 
So Mateta's got a lot of suitors... £35m from Forest seems like a good start but I think Palace should aim higher if they wanna keep their best striker. Everton's £40m price tag is steep though 🤔. Trent Alexander-Arnold's a top player and £100m is a pretty penny, but if he's going to Chelsea, maybe Liverpool will sell him for the best price they can get... 💸. And Arsenal signing Otamendi at £30m could be a good move to strengthen their defense. June 27th can't come soon enough! ⏰
 
I think £40m is a bit steep for Mateta 🤑👀 especially considering he's not a super star player like Alexander-Arnold 💪. Palace should consider letting him go if they can't find a taker at that price, or maybe they're just trying to get the best deal out of it 😏. Otamendi would be a great signing for Arsenal though 👊🔵, he's such a skilled defender! ⚽
 
🚨 Think it's gonna be a crazy transfer window! Clubs are pulling out all the stops to get top talent like Mateta 🤔. £35m for him is still a pretty penny, but I guess Forest wants to make a big impact 💪. And Alexander-Arnold? 100m for him? That's a serious investment 🔥. Not sure if it's worth it, but you gotta admire the ambition of these clubs 🙌. Arsenal trying to strengthen their defense with Otamendi is a smart move 👍. Fingers crossed we get some juicy transfer updates soon! 😁
 
Ugh, another season, another batch of overpriced transfers 🤦‍♂️. £35m for Mateta? Are they kidding me? And what's with all these clubs scrambling to sign him? Can't they see that he's not worth it? 😒

And don't even get me started on Alexander-Arnold... £100m? That's just ridiculous! I mean, I love the guy and all, but come on, he's a decent left-back, not some superstar like Messi or Ronaldo 🙄. And what about Palace and Everton refusing to sell him unless they get their way? It's just another example of how clubs are more concerned with getting a good deal than doing what's best for the team 🤷‍♂️.

And I'm still skeptical about Arsenal signing Otamendi... £30m is still way too much if you ask me 💸. They need to be smarter than that. Maybe they should just stick with Magalhaes and save themselves some trouble 😅.
 
Ugh, I'm getting old 🤣... remember when transfer windows weren't so chaotic? Alright, alright, I know that's not gonna happen. The one thing I love about this time of year is the excitement around who's gonna be moving where. But can we talk about how crazy it is to have 5 big clubs going after just a few players? Like, Trent Alexander-Arnold, what are you doing leaving Liverpool?! 🤔 And £100m, seriously? That's like, half of their entire squad budget! I know the kid's an incredible player and all, but come on... 😂
 
🤔 y'know what's crazy? People always think that just 'cause someone's good at sports, they're gonna be good at life. but mateta's been linked with 2 top clubs now... does it mean he's better than everyone else out there? nope! 😂 what it means is that he's got skills & talent, and people want to work with him. the same goes for alexander-arnold, otamendi... these players are just trying to do their thing, make a living, & have fun. but let's not forget, life's about more than just scoring goals or winning games 😊. it's about relationships, hard work, being true 2 yerself... that's the real prize.
 
mateta's got balls, submiting a £35m bid 🤑👍. think he'll actually leave palace? they've had some rubbish seasons lately and mateta's not exactly the answer to their prayers 😴. everton would be my guess for trying to get him off palace's hands 🤔. that £40m replacement clause is a bit dodgy though, seems like an overkill 💸. on the other hand, trent alexander-arnold going to chelsea would be amazing, he's been on fire since '15 🔥.
 
Mateta's a big catch for whoever gets him, £35m is steep but I guess Forest think he's worth it 🤑. Everton want a replacement but that's gonna be tough for them to find someone of Otamendi's quality 👀. Alexander-Arnold's been with Liverpool for ages and has done some amazing stuff, £100m is a big ask tho 💸. I'm intrigued by Arsenal's interest in Otamendi, think he'd fit in well with Arteta's setup 🤔.
 
£35m seems a bit low for Mateta if you ask me 🤔. I mean, he's been doing well at Palace and has some good qualities to his game. Plus, they're already saying they won't sell him unless they get £40m... maybe they're trying to drive up the price? Either way, I'm a bit surprised that Forest are even making such a big bid, considering their financial situation isn't exactly the strongest 💸. What do you think?
 
Ugh 😩 another season already... I'm a bit worried about Everton's stance on Mateta 🤔 £40m is steep! They need to sort out their defense first 💪 Arsenal should be focusing on signing someone who can actually score goals ⚽️ not just anyone who's "defensively sound" 🙄
 
🤩 just saw that Nottingham Forest are in the running for Mateta! £35m is a steal for that talent 🤑. I mean, he's been having a solid season at Palace, but if Forest think they can win him over, then who am I to argue 😊? On the other hand, Everton need to step up their game if they want to sign him without finding another £5m replacement. And what's up with Chelsea and Liverpool going after Alexander-Arnold? 🤯 He's been a rock for Liverpool, no wonder they're willing to shell out £100m! 😲
 
I'm getting tired of these massive transfer fees 🤑... £100m for Trent Alexander-Arnold? That's just crazy! I mean, I love the lad and all, but can't we just focus on improving our leagues instead of breaking the bank? 🤯 And what about Mateta? £35m might seem reasonable, but £40m is still a bit steep. Can't teams just communicate better about their budgets? 💸 It's not like these players are worth that kind of money... they're just human beings! 🙏
 
Man... I remember when transfers were just a simple swap of players between teams and not a billion-dollar circus 🤯. Now it's like everyone's trying to break the bank to get their stars. £100m for Trent Alexander-Arnold? Blimey, that's some serious dosh 💸! And what's with all these conditions on selling Mateta? Palace want at least £40m or they don't budge 🤑. I just wish we could go back to the days of simple, straightforward transfers without all the drama and tension 🕰️. It's like they're making it harder for clubs to make deals because they can 😒. Anyway, I'm excited to see what happens in the transfer window this year. Should be interesting!
 
man this transfer window is gonna be lit ! 🤩 think forest making a move for mateta makes sense, they're rebuilding that team after the last season and he's exactly what they need. plus £35m is a steal for a player of his caliber 😂 everton wanting him but only if they get another big signing, fair play to them for being smart about it. Alexander-Arnold going to chelsea would be a huge loss for liverpool, they really need someone like that at left-back ⚽️ and otamendi to arsenal is an interesting move, not sure how he'd fit in with arteta's plans though 🤔
