Who will be leading Manchester United's attack next season?

Image
Matheus Cunha to Manchester United? The Red Devils are continuing to explore potential manoeuvres in the market in search of attacking players, and one of the names that has gained strength in recent days is Matheus Cunha.  Author - Olivia T Source | Football Pictures Flickr The Brazilian forward, currently with Wolves, has shown outstanding performance in the Premier League, attracting the interest of major English clubs.  His ability to play in various attacking positions and his dynamism fit the profile that their manager is looking at. Cunha wants to make the step up While things didnā€™t work out for Cunha at Atletico Madrid, he has certainly revived his career since joining Wolves. He joined the Midlands side on an initial loan deal at the start of 2023 before the move was made permanent in the summer. While he prefers playing as a number nine, Cunha can pretty much feature anywhere in attack. His versatility, combined with his effectiveness in the final third, makes h...

Southampton set to demand huge fee for player

Image
Where will Tyler Dibling be playing his football next season? Southampton are ready to demand a staggering fee of more than Ā£100 million for the Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham target. Author - Macca Source | Ben Livingstone Flickr The highly rated attacking midfielder is set to be one of the most in-demand players in this summerā€™s transfer window, but Southamptonā€™s hefty valuation is causing frustration among Premier League clubs. Dibling has made just 25 Premier League appearances and looks almost certain to be sold this summer, with Southampton all but relegated to the Championship. Despite expecting strong interest, Southampton are taking a firm stance on his future, reportedly valuing him at more than the Ā£100 million Manchester City paid Aston Villa for Jack Grealish in August 2021.

Image

The club has already begun laying the groundwork for his return, with plans to welcome him back after the 2026 World Cup, ahead of the 2026/27 La Liga season. One of the driving factors behind Barcelonaā€™s push is their ambition to have Messi back in time for the grand reopening of the fully renovated Camp Nou.

City interested in Theo Hernandez

Image
Rumours regarding Manchester City's rebuild are starting to increase  It has been reported that Theo Hernandezā€™s contract talks with AC Milan are at a standstill and Manchester City are considering a summer move for the left-back.  Author - Macca Experts believe that left-back is a position Pep Guardiola is keen to strengthen and Hernandez is one of the players that has been shortlisted His contract with Milan expires in 2026 and an extension is unlikely.

Manchester City consider shock move for Paul Pogba

Image
Could Paul Pogba be returning to Manchester? Reports suggest Manchester City are exploring the possibility of signing Paul Pogba as the midfielder prepares to return to professional football in March.  Author - Macca It is believed that Pogba is hesitant about a move back to Manchester due to his previous experiences with Cityā€™s fierce rivals, Manchester United. Pogbaā€™s career has been on hold following a doping ban that initially sidelined him for four years. That suspension was recently reduced to 18 months, making him eligible to return to action in March 2025. The 31-year-old parted ways with Juventus in November, leaving him as a free agent. City are reportedly considering Pogba as they navigate one of the most challenging campaigns of Pep Guardiolaā€™s tenure. A combination of injuries and recruitment struggles has left their squad stretched thin, particularly in midfield.  What's going wrong for Manchester City?

Rumours suggest Spurs want Grealish

Image
Jack Grealish moving to North London? Tottenham are eyeing a sensational move for Jack Grealish amid uncertainty over his future at Manchester City. Author - Macca Could Jack Grealish be moving to Spurs? https://t.co/8dEkMVPVu0 https://t.co/dqUjAtT0y4 ā€” European Super Football (@ESFootballNews) November 13, 2024 Ange Postecoglou is eager to strengthen his attacking options and feels the 29-year-old could bring a fresh dynamic to his squad. Spurs are seeking to add both quality and experience up front, and Grealishā€™s ball-carrying prowess is seen as a valuable asset. Thereā€™s a sense within the club that they need a player who can help control the tempo, with Grealishā€™s ability to draw fouls and move play forward seen as crucial. However, a January move seems unlikely, as City are reluctant to part with squad players while managing an ongoing injury crisis. Despite this, Tottenham are setting ambitious goals for the transfer market and are keen to pursue Grealish if a deal becomes...

Transfer Rumours: Could a Chelsea player be moving to Italy?

Image
Raheem Sterling to Juventus? He is currently a target of interest for Juventus, with speculation increasing over his future. Sterling was given the weekend off after not being included in their squad to face Manchester City. Itā€™s understood that Juventus would need to reduce their current wage bill before making a concrete move for Raheem Sterling, with forward Federico Chiesa among the players who might be shown the door. Thereā€™s also the question of whether Sterling would be willing to relocate his young family, who are reportedly well-settled in London, for a move to Italy. Premier League: 2024/2025 season news and stories  Latest news from Serie A  However, itā€™s becoming increasingly apparent that Chelsea are eager to part ways with the player they signed from Manchester City in 2022 for Ā£47.5 million. Chelsea are open to letting Sterling go before the transfer deadline, a decision that would help them save on his reported Ā£325,000-per-week wages. The fact Chelsea r...

Transfer Rumours: Liverpool star heading to Madrid?

Image
Could another English player be moving to Real Madrid? Real Madrid are eager to lure Trent Alexander-Arnold away from Anfield this summer. It has been reported that Trent's England teammate Jude Bellingham might be playing a crucial role in this potential move, as their bond is thought to have deepened during Euro 2024. The midfielder joined Los Blancos last year from Borussia Dortmund and had an outstanding debut season, winning both La Liga and the Champions League, and quickly becoming a key player. It's uncertain whether Real Madrid will follow up their interest with a formal offer for Alexander-Arnold, who came through Liverpool's academy. At the same time, it's unclear if Liverpool would consider letting their versatile right-back go. This is a player that is idolised by the Kopp and other Liverpool fans.  Currently, there has been no discussion about Alexander-Arnold signing a new contract with his boyhood club. Some suggest that JĆ¼rgen Klopp's departure...

Transfer News: Everton reject Branthwaite bid from Man United

Image
More transfer news from Old Trafford and Goodison Park Everton have turned down a second offer from Manchester United, this time around Ā£45m, for their defender Jarrad Branthwaite . Last month, the Toffees also rejected a Ā£35m bid from United for the 22-year-old England international. It's believed that United's revised offer included potential additional payments if certain targets were achieved. This still falls short of Everton's valuation. Branthwaite has shone as a left-sided central defender at Goodison Park, playing a crucial role in helping the Merseyside club avoid relegation last season despite two points deductions for breaching financial loss rules. United are eager to bolster their central defence options and have been in talks over Bayern Munich's Matthijs de Ligt , who is currently representing the Netherlands at Euro 2024. With Raphael Varane having left the club, there has been no confirmation yet of a new one-year deal for veteran Northern Ireland ...

Transfer Rumour: City want Kimmich

Image
Press reports from across Europe are suggesting that Manchester City are about to make some big moves in the transfer market. Would Joshua Kimmich be a good signing for City and Guardiola? Kimmich is reportedly eager to reunite with Pep Guardiola, despite the possibility that his former boss could leave in a year. Kimmich, a crucial player for Germany's Euro campaign, has one year remaining on his contract with Bayern Munich and is attracting interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Liverpool. Manchester City's Guardiola is also interested. Kimmich is particularly drawn to reuniting with the manager who launched his career at Bayern in 2015, making the Etihad an appealing destination. Kimmichā€™s representatives are keen to know if Guardiola plans to extend his stay beyond next summer, but the player is so eager to work with him again that he is ready to take the chance. While Bayernā€™s manager Vincent Kompany is eager for Kimmich to remain, the club would prefer to sell him...

Transfer Rumours: Man United interested in Olise

Image
Another day. Another week. Another Manchester United transfer rumour. Michael Olise is gifted with game-changing qualities that would benefit Manchester United. The Crystal Palace winger also has admirers within the hierarchy at Chelsea and Newcastle United. You can see some of his best moments in the video below. The footage is from the Top Striker YouTube account and gives you a real indication of why the Premier League's biggest clubs are interested in him. Why are United interested? It was his performance in the 4-0 victory over Erik ten Hagā€™s side that cemented Oliseā€™s reputation as one of the most exciting talents in the Premier League. He scored twice and was a threat that United could not contain in that thrashing at Selhurst Park. With Jadon Sancho expected to leave permanently this summer, there could well be space within the squad for another attacking player.  Premier League: Summer 2024 news and stories (eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com) Premier League: Crystal Pala...

The Big Discussion: Players to watch in the EFL

Image
 As we prepare for another summer of teams across England and beyond spending even more money, clubs will be looking to explore the occasional bargain. Will any of these players come from the EFL? This article will explore some of the players that clubs from across Europe might be looking at.  Sam Bell ā€“ Bristol City While Bristol Cityā€™s season was a bit up and down, Bellā€™s performances were highly impressive throughout. Numerous spells in non-league football helped Bell develop his game, and Bristol Cityā€™s patience in nurturing the young forward appears to be paying off. His versatility makes him an attractive option for clubs after an adaptable forward player, with Bell also occupying the left side of the pitch. Bristol City fans would be sad to see him leave to the Premier League but they will probably admit that he deserves a chance to play at that higher level.  Jaden Philogene ā€“ Hull City  Jaden Philogene hogged the limelight at Hull City and was in scint...

Image
Arsenal are ready to bring in new players and challenge again for major trophies next season.

European newspapers have reported that Arsenal scouts watched the Slovenian international during Leipzig's recent draw with Eintracht Frankfurt, aiming to gain an edge over rivals Chelsea, Manchester United, and Newcastle. Premier League news and stories: 2023/2024 It is believed that Sesko impressed all those watching by scoring in his seventh consecutive Bundesliga match, firing a powerful shot into the Frankfurt net and bringing his season tally to 18 goals in all competitions.

Transfer Rumour: Man United interested in Trevoh Chalobah

Image
Another day and another Manchester United transfer rumour Manchester United are considering a move for Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah as they evaluate their centre-back options for next season. šŸ¤œšŸ¤› pic.twitter.com/tg8c8L7IWD ā€” Trevoh Chalobah (@TrevohChalobah) May 24, 2024 Injuries in this position have been a major issue for Erik ten Hag over the past year, and the departure of Raphael Varane has further weakened the squadā€™s central defence. Chelsea are reportedly open to selling Chalobah and Connor Gallagher to comply with profit and sustainability rules by 30 June. They are looking for a transfer fee of around Ā£25m.

Transfer Rumour: Walker wanted by Bayern Munich

Image
Bayern Munich want to sign another English player It is believed that they want to sign Kyle Walker from Manchester City Bayern came close to signing the Manchester City's star player last summer. However, Pep Guardiola convinced him to stay at the 11th hour and he signed a new contract, potentially keeping him at the Etihad until June 2026. He has proved to be an important player in Manchester City's quest for a record-breaking fourth successive Premier League title. Earlier this season, when Kevin De Bruyne was injured, Kyle Walker took over as the captain. Walker has since been in excellent form, which has reignited Bayern's interest in him. This video from Monsif Attoui would perhaps explain why Bayern interested in signing Walker despite his age. They will be hoping to put together a team that can bring the title back from Leverkusen next season.  Both City and the player in question are aware that the Bundesliga giants are interested in signing the right back du...

Image
 Let's explore another Manchester United transfer rumour.  After so many dropped points recently, you can understand why they are interested in this player.

Transfer Rumours: Manchester United linked with Dani Olmo

Image
 Another day. Another Manchester United transfer rumour. The Red Devils have entered the race for RB Leipzig star Dani Olmo, who has a Ā£52m release clause this summer. Manchester United and Real Madrid are reportedly among the clubs maintaining a watching brief on Dani Olmo this summer. The Spanish international is excelling for Red Bull Leipzig, and he has a clause that becomes active this summer when he can leave for Ā£52million. Olmo recently starred for Spain against Brazil, where he was utilised in the number ten position where he scored a superb individual goal. He dribbled through Brazil's defence before finishing with a curling left-foot shot to give Spain a 2-0 lead in a 3-3 draw at the home of Real Madrid.  United are assessing targets across Europe for attacking and creative options, and Olmo may be of interest depending on their budget and departures in the summer.

Premier League news and stories: 2023/2024 Premier League: Wolves and Man United play out a classic  Wolves are aware there will be interest in Gomes over the next few months.
