Manchester United is on the lookout for a new left back, with Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly among their targets. According to TEAMtalk, the club is also considering Fulham's Antonee Robinson and Crystal Palace's Tyrick Mitchell. Lewis-Skelly, who has seen a decrease in playing time at the Emirates due to the strong performances of Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapié, may look to leave this summer in pursuit of more opportunities to represent England.

The Daily Telegraph reports that Tottenham Hotspur is contemplating a move for former Monaco manager Adi Hütter should they decide to part ways with interim boss Igor Tudor. Spurs’ relegation concerns deepened following a loss to Nottingham Forest, and Tudor, who missed the post-match conference due to a family bereavement, has only managed one win during his tenure. Tottenham has time to assess their options, as their next match is scheduled for April 12, coinciding with the international break.

In transfer news, Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva is prioritizing a transfer to Barcelona as he plans to leave the Etihad Stadium when his contract expires this summer, according to Diario Sport. While Barcelona views signing the 31-year-old as appealing, he is not their primary target due to an abundance of players in his position. Silva is also evaluating other offers, including substantial proposals from the Saudi Pro League, and has received interest from Juventus and Benfica.

Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen's Alejandro Grimaldo has emerged as a key option for Barcelona, who are looking to bolster their left back position. Concerns regarding Alejandro Balde's injury history and uncertainties surrounding João Cancelo's future have prompted the interest in Grimaldo, who has expressed a desire to leave Leverkusen this summer. Although his contract runs until 2027, it is expected that a transfer could be negotiated for less than his €20 million release clause.

Atlético Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann plans to utilize the international break to travel to the United States and finalize his transfer to Orlando City, as reported by Marca. Atlético has granted Griezmann permission to secure what could be the final long-term contract of his career. Despite his upcoming move, he will remain with Atlético until the end of the season to compete for the Copa del Rey and Champions League titles.

Barcelona is also contemplating a one-year extension for Robert Lewandowski's contract, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. The striker is weighing his options, which include remaining at Barcelona, moving to another European club, or considering offers from Saudi Pro League teams and MLS clubs. The 37-year-old is expected to make a final decision regarding his future soon.

As Tottenham's next match approaches, ESPN's Connor O'Halloran emphasizes that the upcoming week could be pivotal for the club. Spurs face a significant decision regarding interim manager Igor Tudor, who has struggled to secure victories. The choices they make could have lasting implications, as the international break offers a crucial opportunity for a managerial change before the critical relegation battle resumes.

In other transfer news, AC Milan has shown interest in Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, whose contract expires this summer. Additionally, AC Milan is pursuing 24-year-old Barcelona defender Gerard Martin. Juventus is set to meet with Dusan Vlahovic's agent to discuss a contract extension until 2028. Brighton is ahead of Celtic and Brentford in the race to sign Sao Paulo midfielder Damian Bobadilla. RB Leipzig and Nottingham Forest are monitoring Celtic midfielder Arne Engels, while various clubs are keeping an eye on his teammate Reo Hatate. Genoa, Udinese, and Parma are tracking attacking midfielder Luis Hasa, who is currently on loan at Serie B side Carrarese from Napoli. Finally, Leganes midfielder Seydouba Cisse has agreed to join Saudi Pro League club Al Kholood in July, and Torino plans to activate their option to permanently sign defender Enzo Ebosse from Udinese.
