Raheem Sterling transfer news update
Juventus is considering a swoop for Chelsea and England forward Raheem Sterling, whose future at Stamford Bridge is now in serious doubt. Having penned a deal with Chelsea in 2022, he has gone on to experience a rollercoaster of times at the club and would consider moving again if an offer of interest is presented.
Juventus are said to be interested in the opportunity to ship the seasoned winger to Turin as they try to strengthen their attacking options ahead of next season.
Al-Hilal Targets Manchester City Duo
The Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal has set their eyes on two of Manchester City’s star defenders—Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo. The club is reported to be seeking the signatures of the England international and the full-back from Portugal in a quest to push through the ranks and be successful in luring the best European talent.
Both Walker, 33, and Cancelo, 29, have been key for the Citizens through the years but are facing new challenges, and thus, a good move to Saudi Arabia for a pay day may be written in the cards.
Ilkay Gundogan reunion transfer news update
Manchester City is looking to resign Ilkay Gundogan, who moved to Barcelona a year ago. The German midfielder has been central to many of the successes of City in the domestic and European arena.
After the financial deal of the Catalans collapsed, manager Pep Guardiola gives the green light to the potential return for the 33-year-old. The deal could see Gundogan don the City blue once more, bringing experience and depth into their midfield.
Mikel Merino transfer news update
Arsenal’s interest in Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino has been dealt a blow after the Spanish club refused to budge on their valuation of the 28-year-old.
The Gunners are interested in bringing the Spanish international aboard but must meet Sociedad’s asking price to acquire his services. Merino has become vital to Sociedad, a team he is very versatile and skillful for, and they want to keep or get top value for their star.
Brentford Expect Ivan Toney to Join Al-Ahli
Brentford is preparing for the imminent departure of top striker Ivan Toney to Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli. The Bees are set to rake in around £50 million for the 28-year-old, who has been at the epicentre of their attacking play. But Chelsea may just have a last-minute swoop for Toney, adding to the late drama at the close of the transfer window.
Fulham in for Joachim Andersen and Scott McTominay
Fulham is planning a new offer for Denmark defender Joachim Andersen of Crystal Palace after its first two opening bids were rebuffed. The Cottagers will also make a third bid for Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay as they press in their charge to try and land some big names before the start of a new campaign.
Both players would bring significant experience in the Premier League to Fulham, thus strengthening their defensive and midfield options, respectively.
Newcastle Eyes Defensive Reinforcements
Newcastle United is checking into the possibility of signing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace and Joe Gomez from Liverpool or Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea.
The Magpies are highly interested in adding defensive depth to the squad and any of these players would provide options of value to manager Eddie Howe. Newcastle still believe something can be done to bring in at least one of these targets before the end of the window.
Lukaku transfer news update
Chelsea have made clear their demand for at least €40m to see Romelu Lukaku move to Napoli, who want to secure the transfer on loan with an obligation. In the meantime, young Chelsea defender Bashir Humphreys is set to join Burnley on a season-long loan with an option for a permanent move at the end of it.
Everton and Nottingham Forest Eye Attacking Reinforcements
Everton have been interested in an 18-year-old Brazilian forward from Atletico Mineiro named Alisson Santana, while Nottingham Forest is said to be planning a new offer for Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez after their first offer got rejected.
Both Premier League outfits feel the urge to strengthen their attack and these young talents will add impetus to their respective squads.
