With the summer transfer window fast approaching, players like Neymar Jr., Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi are grabbing headlines. Viktor Gyokeres, the Swedish striker, has already made contact with Sporting’s president, Frederico Varandas. His mind is made up and he’s lobbying for a transfer out of the club. Gyokeres wants to push through a move this summer, with potential new pastures offering better opportunity for him to further his career.
At the same time, Barcelona’s coach, Hansi Flick, is said to be very keen on bringing Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford to the club. Barcelona are only interested in a loan, anything not resembling the £40 million transfer the Red Devils are demanding. This possible transfer further highlights Barcelona’s approach of bringing in the best and brightest while avoiding major initial financial outlay.
Now Jadon Sancho may have found his route out of Manchester United. Jose Mourinho has long been an admirer of the winger and apparently wants to take him to Manchester United with him. Fenerbahce, additionally, are said to be active in pursuing a loan move for Sancho. That would indicate that the English player has a number of tempting options this summer.
The Magpies are renewing their intentions to keep the hot property striker Alexander Isak despite interest from Liverpool, Barcelona and Arsenal. Rumors have spread that Newcastle is prepared to shatter its wage record in order to keep Isak. The surprise element is this unexpected transfer, given the club’s ambition to reinforce its current squad to avoid chasing competitors.
Chelsea are taking aim at this dynamite winger Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund. They are trying to line up a transfer deal for him. This latest move is just part of Chelsea’s continued push to improve their attacking options ahead of next summer’s expected start of the club’s transfer ban.
In La Liga, Nico Williams has sent the clearest signal so far of a player’s desire to join Barcelona. His potential transfer could further bolster Barcelona’s attacking lineup as they look to reclaim their status among Europe’s elite clubs.
Scotland’s St Mirren has accepted a bid from Plymouth for fringe striker Owen Oseni. The two are not mutually exclusive though, as this decision indicates their desire to allow him to find more playing time outside of Toronto. Leeds United look to be on the verge of sealing a new contract for Daniel James today. He has been the linchpin of their team.
Adding to this discussion, former Dundee manager Tony Docherty recently said that he is keen to get back into management after his shock dismissal. Clubs are still determining their coaching staffs as this transitional period continues. Former Hoops midfielder Shaun Maloney appears prepared to step back into his old club Celtic, in a senior backroom position.
