Transfer News Summary
In a developing transfer story, Manchester United has entered the contest to acquire Callum Hudson-Odoi, currently with Nottingham Forest. The Red Devils find themselves in competition with AS Roma and Napoli, both of whom have also shown interest in the winger.
Hudson-Odoi, who transferred from Chelsea to Forest in 2023, has had a solid campaign, contributing significantly with eight goal involvements across 31 Premier League matches. As his contract is set to expire next June, Nottingham Forest is contemplating offering him an extension to keep him at the club.
Barcelona’s Transfer Focus
Meanwhile, Barcelona is focusing its efforts on Liverpool’s Luis Díaz, despite financial hurdles complicating negotiations. Amid the Catalan club’s ongoing struggle with its financial situation, they are eyeing Athletic Club’s Nico Williams instead, who has a release clause around €64 million.
Williams is reportedly eager to reunite with his compatriot, Lamine Yamal, but Bayern Munich are also lurking, ready to make their move should Barcelona fail to secure the winger.
Aston Villa’s Young Talent
Aston Villa is preparing for renewed interest from Chelsea and Arsenal in their promising young talent, Morgan Rogers. Following an impressive season where he netted 14 goals in the Premier League, the 22-year-old has caught the attention of several European clubs, though Villa remains firm on their stance of keeping him.
Other Notable Moves
On the other hand, Leon Bailey’s future appears uncertain, with multiple teams from the Saudi Pro League eyeing the Jamaican forward.
In other transfer news, Borussia Dortmund is reportedly considering a move for Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho. The 25-year-old has previously thrived during two stints with the German side, with the latest being a loan arrangement this past season. Sancho is anticipated to depart Old Trafford this transfer window, with his market value estimated at approximately £30 million.
Arsenal’s Pursuit
Lastly, Arsenal is yet to meet the asking price set by RB Leipzig for Slovenian forward Benjamin Sesko, who the Bundesliga club won’t consider selling unless a bid ranges from €80 million to €100 million. Despite this, Arsenal remains vigilant, also keeping tabs on Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyökeres, who is linked with Manchester United as well.
