Liverpool eye Bowen, West Ham hold him back

If you follow the Premier League, you have surely heard of him. England right winger Jarrod Bowen has established himself as West Ham’s attacking spearhead, with 12 goals and 9 assists in 35 appearances this season. The Hammers intend to discuss with Bowen (25) a contract extension this summer, we learn from theEvening Standard . What for, when Bowen is already tied to the club until 2025? To hunt interest from Liverpool, where rumors are rife about the future of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané. Bowen had been recruited from Hull City for just over €20 million in January 2020. West Ham, 5th in the Premier League, are only two points behind Manchester United, and therefore in the race for qualification for the Champions League , in addition to being still in contention in the Europa League and the FA Cup.

Lazio contact Romagnoli and consider Ospina

Lazio Rome hopes to smell the good moves on the summer transfer window. According to the website Calciomercato , two out-of-contract players caught his eye. First there is Alessio Romagnoli, central defender and captain of AC Milan. Lazio would have even already offered him a future contract with an annual salary of 3 M€. This is less than the €5.5m he currently receives, but more than the €2.5m that Milan are offering him to extend, the 27-year-old Italian only still starting due to the serious injury of Simon Kjaer. The other player that Lazio likes is David Ospina. The 33-year-old Colombian goalkeeper has still not extended in Naples, where he remains a starter. Real Madrid would be a competitor to the Laziales on this file, in order to make it the understudy of Thibaut Courtois.
