Transfer Update: Newcastle United Targets Rashford Amid Liverpool’s Pursuit of Núñez

Transfer News Overview

Newcastle United is reportedly interested in acquiring Marcus Rashford from Manchester United as part of their transfer strategy this summer. The club aims to help Rashford escape his precarious situation at Old Trafford, where he risks being sidelined unless he makes a move soon.

Rather than serving as a direct substitute for Alexander Isak, Rashford is anticipated to provide depth and competition for the striker role. His value is currently uncertain, but following a successful loan stint at Aston Villa, his marketability seems to be improving.

Ongoing Negotiations

Meanwhile, Liverpool is in ongoing discussions with Napoli regarding Darwin Núñez, who looks poised to leave Anfield this summer. The club is actively searching for a new forward option, and reports suggest that Núñez is a prime candidate for departure.

Since joining Liverpool in July 2022, the Uruguayan striker has made a notable impact, netting 25 goals in 95 appearances within the Premier League. His contract runs until June 2028.

Barcelona’s Interests

In another development, Barcelona is eyeing AS Monaco’s right-back, Vanderson, with plans to make an offer soon. The Brazilian, who has represented his national team seven times, is believed to be valued at around €30 million.

Although the initial bid hasn’t been made, negotiations between the clubs are expected to begin shortly, and reaching an agreement on personal terms should be straightforward.

Further Target Monitoring

In addition, Liverpool is monitoring Alexander Isak from Newcastle as they look to strengthen their squad further. With Jeremie Frimpong already secured and Florian Wirtz possibly heading to Merseyside as well, Isak remains high on their list of targets, and an official inquiry could be made to test Newcastle’s determination to retain him.

Serie A Developments

Lastly, in Serie A, Internazionale appears to be finalizing a transfer for striker Ange-Yoan Bonny from Parma. This comes after their failed attempt to secure Rasmus Højlund, who has chosen to remain at Manchester United.

Although Napoli is still a potential competitor for Bonny, discussions regarding personal terms have yet to reach a conclusion.
