football transfer news: Lookman juve target

Gettyimages 2216435050 612x612 1 According to Tuttosport, Juventus have identified Ademola Lookman as their top target to replace Dusan Vlahovic, who is expected to leave in the summer. Juventus have set their sights on Atalanta striker Lookman, making him their top target to replace the departing Vlahovic, Tuttosport reports. The Serbia international won’t extend his contract at the Allianz Stadium beyond June, and the Bianconeri are naturally looking for replacements already. Lookman was frozen out of the Atalanta squad after trying to force a move to Inter over the summer, but is expected to resume training with the rest of the team after the international break. Clearly, he is also expected to leave Atalanta, possibly even in January, given that his contract with the Ner...

Football transfer updates: Guardiola Wants to Sign PSG target

Rodrygo The summer transfer window has closed, and despite widespread speculation, Real Madrid star Rodrygo did not move. The Brazilian had been linked to PSG throughout the window, but no deal materialized, and he is expected to stay in Madrid beyond the deadline. Reports about PSG’s interest have been mixed. Foot Mercato’s Josué Cassé stated that Rodrygo is not currently a target for the French club, while Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg suggested both PSG and Liverpool are keeping tabs on the forward. Plettenberg also confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur are not in the mix. PSG could still emerge as a potential suitor, but whether Rodrygo leaves Real Madrid may hinge on how his situation develops in the coming months.

football transfer: RB Leipzig target Harvey Elliott

Harvey Elliott RB Leipzig have expressed interest in Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott as they prepare for life after Xavi Simons, but multiple hurdles stand in the way of any potential transfer. According to ESPN Soccer, while the Bundesliga side admire Elliott’s talent and see him as a suitable replacement, the financial terms and Liverpool’s stance on retaining him remain significant obstacles. Sources told ESPN that “Leipzig are going to be reluctant to meet Liverpool’s potential €45m-50m asking price for the player.” That figure reflects both Elliott’s importance to Arne Slot’s squad and Liverpool’s reluctance to part ways with a player who has steadily grown in stature since joining from Fulham. Leipzig are bracing themselves for the departure of Xavi Simons, who is set to ...

Man United Napoli and Manchester United have agreed a deal for Rasmus Hojlund to join the Serie A champions on loan with a conditional obligation to buy him next summer. It is up to the Dane, who had said earlier this summer that he wanted to stay at Old Trafford, if he agrees to move to Napoli. But United have accepted a package that includes a €6m loan fee and a €44m clause to complete a permanent move for the striker. It could bring an end to Hojlund’s United career, just two years after he joined from Atalanta for £64m, which had the potential to go up to £72m including add-ons. The 21-year-old has scored 26 goals in 95 appearances for United, but had a 21-game run without finding the net last season.Head coach Ruben Amorim has signed three attackers this summer, at a c...

Manchester United have agreed personal terms with Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens over a move to Old Trafford. United expressed interest in signing a new shot-stopper despite Ruben Amorim’s public and repeated backing of Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir. Amorim picked Bayindir for Manchester United’s Premier League opener against Arsenal, with Onana not even on the bench for the 1-0 defeat. Despite dropping Onana and then watching Bayindir made a crucial error for Arsenal’s goal, Amorim defended both players and suggested United would not be signing a new goalkeeper before the transfer deadline.

Onana’s place at United has been under scrutiny following a string of unconvincing displays after his arrival from Inter for £44.4 million in July 2023. The Cameroon international was left out of the squad for the opening-day loss to Arsenal last weekend only to see his replacement, Altay Bayindir, make an error that directly led to Riccardo Calafiori’s winning goal. Onana expects to remain at United beyond the current transfer window having been made aware that the club have rebuffed enquiries for his services but he is now poised to face further pressure for his place from Lammens.

Carlos Baleba Manchester United finished their pre-season with a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina (5-4 win on penalties), but it was a game that reaffirmed the club’s biggest need. Casemiro strengthened Ruben Amorim’s case of wanting a new athletic midfield, a demand that has reached Ineos, as seen with the chase for Carlos Baleba. Baleba is United’s top midfield target, but having spent north of £200m in the market already, it is far from an easy deal to make. Fabrizio Romano has now shared an exciting update, however, on United’s chase for Baleba, with the club repeating the process they undertook to secure Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Baleba, on paper, is United’s ideal midfielder, with the only negative point right now being Brighton’s asking price for the player, prompting United to l...
