Transfer Rumors: Jadon Sancho, Mason Greenwood, Jordan Pickford, and More
As the summer transfer window approaches, clubs are making plans to strengthen their squads for the upcoming season. Here are the latest transfer rumors in the world of football.
Jadon Sancho’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain, with Borussia Dortmund unable to afford a permanent deal for the England winger. Sancho has had a mixed spell at United since joining from Dortmund last year, and it seems his time at Old Trafford may be short-lived.
One player who could be staying at Manchester United is England midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. The 19-year-old is set to sign a new contract with the club, which will see his salary quadruple after the European Championship this summer. Mainoo has shown great promise and United are keen to secure his long-term future.
Meanwhile, Everton are open to selling some of their star players, including England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and young defender Jarrad Branthwaite. Pickford has been a divisive figure among Everton fans, and his departure could pave the way for a new number one between the sticks. Branthwaite, on the other hand, has caught the attention of Manchester United and could be on the move this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a move for Brentford’s Ivan Toney. The England forward has been in scintillating form in the Championship, and Spurs are willing to spend £40m to bring him to North London. Toney’s goalscoring prowess could provide a much-needed boost to Tottenham’s attacking options.
Arsenal’s pursuit of Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi seems to have hit a roadblock, as the Spain midfielder has no interest in joining the Gunners. Despite Arsenal’s strong interest, Zubimendi looks set to remain in La Liga for the foreseeable future.
In other news, Mason Greenwood’s future at Manchester United is up in the air, with reports suggesting he could be on his way to Juventus. The 22-year-old forward has shown glimpses of his immense talent, but a move to Serie A could provide him with a fresh start and more playing time.
Napoli have reportedly reached an agreement with Antonio Conte to become their new manager. The former Chelsea and Tottenham boss is highly regarded in Italy and could bring success to the Serie A club.
Galatasaray are looking to strengthen their squad for next season’s Champions League, and they have set their sights on Ilkay Gundogan. The German midfielder has been a key player for Manchester City, but a move to Turkey could provide him with a new challenge.
Manchester United are keeping tabs on Sporting Lisbon’s Ousmane Diomande. The 20-year-old Ivory Coast defender has impressed in Portugal, and United could be interested in bringing him to Old Trafford.
Nottingham Forest are willing to part ways with Morgan Gibbs-White for a fee of £40m. The English midfielder has attracted interest from Tottenham, and Forest are ready to cash in on their prized asset.
There have been rumors linking Brazil goalkeeper Ederson with a move to Saudi Arabia, but he will have to request a transfer if he wants to leave Manchester City. Ederson has been a reliable presence between the posts for City, and it remains to be seen if he will seek a new challenge.
Sunderland’s search for a new manager has hit a stumbling block, as talks with former Reims boss Will Still have broken down. The League One club will have to continue their search for a suitable candidate to lead the team.
Anthony Martial’s future at Manchester United is uncertain, with only Paris St-Germain able to afford his wages if he decides to return to France. The 28-year-old forward has struggled for consistency at United, and a move back to his native country could reignite his career.
Saudi Pro League clubs are reportedly willing to pay €100m (£85m) to sign Barcelona’s Raphinha. The Brazil winger has been in fine form for Barcelona, and his performances have caught the attention of clubs in Saudi Arabia.
Finally, Eintracht Frankfurt are interested in signing Brighton’s Pascal Gross. The German midfielder has been a consistent performer for Brighton, and a move to the Bundesliga could be on the cards. Frankfurt have also not ruled out a move for Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips, who has impressed for England.
As the transfer window heats up, these rumors will continue to swirl around the football world. Fans will eagerly await official announcements as clubs look to strengthen their squads for the challenges ahead.
