Transfer Window Updates
As the transfer window approaches its September 11th closure, Al Nassr is reportedly targeting Mason Greenwood, following a direct request from Cristiano Ronaldo. The Saudi Arabian club aims to enhance its roster before the deadline, highlighting their intentions alongside other local clubs eager to finalize significant European signings.
Notable Player Interests
Notably, Chelsea’s Axel Disasi has caught the eye of Neom SC, while Raheem Sterling could also find a new home in the league. Additionally, Al Qadsiah is reportedly considering a renewed offer for Andrey Santos, having faced rejection on a €50 million bid. Al Ittihad is interested in securing FC Porto’s Rodrigo Mora, with Al Ahli eyeing Bayer Leverkusen’s Exequiel Palacios.
Aymeric Laporte’s Transfer Situation
In separate news, Aymeric Laporte is looking to resolve his transfer to Athletic Club after a last-minute issue halted his departure to Al Nassr. The intended move fell through when documentation was not submitted in time, prompting Laporte to seek solutions for rejoining Athletic before the upcoming FIFA World Cup in 2026. His current club was reportedly displeased with his efforts to exit.
Presnel Kimpembe’s Negotiations
Meanwhile, from Paris Saint-Germain, Presnel Kimpembe is nearing a contractual agreement with Qatar Sports Club, with negotiations showing promising signs of success as the Qatari transfer window closes on September 16th. Previous attempts by several other Middle Eastern clubs to land Kimpembe have not materialized, making this a crucial moment for the defender, who has just one year remaining on his PSG deal.
Women’s Transfer News
On the women’s front, Manchester City’s deal with Manchester United involves a player swap between Grace Clinton and Jessica Park, revealing a complex transaction that includes an undisclosed fee for Clinton. Both players are in the final year of their contracts, and this trade is being finalized just ahead of the Women’s Super League transfer deadline.
Juventus and Kenan Yildiz
Lastly, Juventus is reportedly keen to extend Kenan Yildiz’s contract until 2030, enhancing his earnings significantly to position him among the club’s top earners. This move aims to block interest from other top clubs, particularly after Chelsea’s unsatisfactory €70 million offer in July, as Juve values Yildiz at a staggering €100 million. Analysts like Jan Aage Fjortoft express concerns about Bayern Munich’s potential acquisition of Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson, suggesting the move might not yield the expected benefits for the German club.
