A look at how the Premier League rumour mill is churning ahead of the summer transfer window

A round-up of your latest transfer rumours from across the Premier League - including some 3AM flavour for good measure. 

Barca kick-start Liverpool raid

Mundo Deportivo claim Barcelona want Luis Diaz to headline their summer rebuild under Xavi. The Spaniard reversed his decision to step down at the Nou Camp in midweek.

Financial difficulties engulf the Catalans and departures are expected. Despite that, they remain linked with several elite players.

Diaz polarises Liverpool fans for hi: inconsistency and his exit - likely to cost around £75million - could pave the way for incomings under Arne Slot. Is now an ideal time to cash in?

3AM verdict: Personally, Diaz should be given more time at Liverpool. The talent is there - but he has only shown that in fits and starts. An offer in the £75million ballpark may prove too tempting to turn down.

Milan chase Villa star

Diego Carlos is a summer target for Serie A giants AC Milan, according to reports in Italy. The Brazilian, while being a part of Aston Villa’s top-four assault, has largely played second fiddle to Ezri Konsa and Pau Torres.

At 31, the centre-back’s best days are likely behind him and Villa may be open to offers. The report suggests Villa want to recoup most of the £26million paid for Carlos almost two years ago.

Offloading the defender would free up FFP/PSR headroom for Villa chiefs as they plan to build on a successful campaign this summer. The player is understood to be open to the move.

3AM verdict: Villa should cash in if a solid offer comes their way. Having signed a four-year deal in 2022, selling him for a similar figure they paid makes sense as far as the FFP/PSR balance sheet is concerned.

Fulham exit sparks tug-of-war

Several Premier League clubs are on high alert after Italian sports journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed Tosin Adarabioyo will become a free agent this summer. Liverpool and Newcastle United are two that have been linked with the defender.

"Tosin Adarabioyo will leave Fulham as free agent at the end of the season as he’s already informed the club,” the reporter posted on social media. “Final decision made.

"Despite new contract proposals, Tosin decides to leave and he will be available as free agent with several clubs keen on signing him."

3AM verdict: Adarabioyo is the latest in a long line of Manchester City rejects to forge a career elsewhere before coming again. Their academy just churns out talent. His ball-playing abilities make him suited to a side fighting higher up the league than Fulham - whether he is Champions League-level remains to be seen.
