Manchester United are facing the possibility of not selling Marcus Rashford this summer, as no club is expected to meet their £70m valuation of the England forward. Paris St-Germain, who were previously interested in Rashford, have now cooled their interest and are pursuing other transfer targets. This news comes amidst uncertainty surrounding United manager Erik ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford, as he is unsure if he will be in charge next season.
In other transfer news, Arsenal has offered a new contract to Italy midfielder Jorginho, whose current deal expires in June. The 32-year-old is expected to sign the contract, indicating his commitment to the club. West Ham, on the other hand, could face competition from AC Milan for Lille manager Paulo Fonseca. The 51-year-old is seen as a potential replacement for Hammers boss David Moyes, who has attracted interest from Spartak Moscow.
Moving on to Chelsea, there have been speculations regarding forward Raheem Sterling’s future. The 29-year-old has not had any contact with the Saudi Pro League about a summer transfer. However, the Blues would be willing to sell on-loan striker Romelu Lukaku to them. Portugal midfielder Bruno Fernandes has hinted that he will consider his future at Manchester United after Euro 2024. For now, his focus is on the FA Cup final and the tournament in Germany this summer.
In terms of potential transfers to Saudi Arabia, a number of clubs are interested in Barcelona’s Ansu Fati and former France defender Clement Lenglet. Fati is currently on loan at Brighton, while Lenglet is on loan at Aston Villa. Meanwhile, Manchester United is still planning to sell forward Mason Greenwood this summer, with a final decision to be made at the end of the season.
There have been rumors surrounding Chelsea’s involvement with Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim. However, the club has denied paying for his flight to London or having any meetings with him. On the other hand, Borussia Dortmund is looking to keep Dutch winger Ian Maatsen at the club beyond this season after his successful loan spell from Chelsea.
Leicester City has held talks with striker Jamie Vardy about extending his stay at the club. The 37-year-old Englishman has been a key player for the Foxes and they are keen to retain him. Crystal Palace is likely to sell midfielder Killian Phillips in the summer transfer window, while Coventry City’s Callum O’Hare has informed the club that he will leave on a free transfer, attracting interest from Aston Villa and West Ham.
Overall, the summer transfer window promises to be an exciting time for football fans, with several players potentially on the move and clubs looking to strengthen their squads. The future of certain managers, including Erik ten Hag and David Moyes, remains uncertain, adding to the anticipation surrounding the upcoming season. Only time will tell how these transfer rumors and managerial uncertainties will pan out, but one thing is for sure – the football world is in for an eventful summer.
