Top Stories and Transfer Rumours from Wednesday's Newspapers

In a move that is set to further fuel the competition for Bayer Leverkusen player Florian Wirtz, Manchester City officials met with his parents during a flying visit on Tuesday.

The meeting comes as Manchester City are believed to be in talks with Levyuers over a £126m transfer deal for Wirtz. This has led to speculation that the German star is set to join the Premier League champions this summer.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have been linked with Bayer Leverkusen winger Jeremie Frimpong, who would be keen on joining the club if they were to step up their efforts to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Guardian reports that Manchester United intend to retain Ruben Amorim as head coach despite their poor form this season. The decision was made after the club's performance in the Europa League final last weekend, where they came close to losing out to Tottenham.

Amidst the club's struggles, it has become clear that United plan to make significant signings this summer to bolster their squad. However, one potential target who has caught the eye is Ipswich striker Liam Delap. According to reports from Sky Sports News, United are in pole position to sign Delap and would be happy to bring him to Old Trafford regardless of whether they secure Champions League football next season.

Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, are preparing for a return to European competition this summer with ambitions to make at least five major signings. Liverpool target Jeremie Frimpong is believed to have topped the list of players scouted by the club.

The FA has announced that Dan Ashworth will be unveiled as their new director of football operations later this week, having recently taken on a similar role at Manchester United before being sacked seven months earlier.

Lastly, it's emerged that Manchester City are among clubs that have made interest in AC Milan winger Tijjani Reijnders.
