Owner James McConnell is in the process of signing a new long-term extension with Liverpool. This transfer is a clear signal of the club’s deep commitment to their 20-year-old midfielder. It’s McConnell’s future at Anfield that is most clearly the priority. Meanwhile, he’ll head out on loan for the upcoming season, where he can help win Reims valuable Ligue 1 points while gaining valuable first-team experience.
In other transfer news, Wrexham has entered a competitive race with Derby County to secure the services of Josh Windass. The 31-year-old forward, having recently left Sheffield Wednesday, is in search of new pastures. What’s next for Adam Hložek? Both clubs value his potential to improve their attacking options as both continue to push for strong campaigns.
Additionally, Rob Holding’s loan spell at Crystal Palace has been less than successful and is surrounded with question marks with MLS clubs now reportedly interested. As the speculation continues about his future, Holding might need to at least look beyond English football.
Manchester United have been given a huge boost in their hopes of landing Villarreal attacker Nicolas Jackson. The highly-coveted young talent recently spurned advances from Napoli and AC Milan. He is reportedly keen to make the move to the Premier League side. For the transfer to go through, United will have to pay Chelsea’s asking price of £80 million.
The club prepares itself for heavy losses as Ruben Amorim’s much maligned “bomb squad” exits, and which is worth up to £300 million. This development will only make United’s transfer plans more difficult as they look to improve their squad.
At the same time, Manchester City seem to be going back in for former academy player James Trafford, now at Burnley. Talks over a potential re-signing are underway as City’s goalkeeping dynamics evolve, particularly with Ederson’s future at the club remaining in doubt.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest has been linked with a loan move for Manchester City’s James McAtee. City have set an asking price of £35 million for the young midfielder, meaning any move for him would be a serious outlay for Forest.
With the summer transfer window approaching its final stages, teams up and down the Premier League and indeed the world are looking to finalize their plans. With bright young stars and established veterans exchanging jerseys, the free agent landscape stands to see more movement in the days ahead.
