Summer Transfer Market Developments
In the latest developments of the summer transfer market, Tottenham Hotspur appears poised to compete with Arsenal for the services of Eberechi Eze, an attacking midfielder currently at Crystal Palace. The Daily Mail reports that Spurs have taken a keen interest in the 27-year-old England international, who has a release clause set at £68 million. However, this clause will only be active until two weeks prior to the closure of the summer window. On the other hand, Arsenal is also eyeing Eze, but their prospects of securing him hinge on their ability to offload some players from their squad.
Manchester United Striker Interest
Meanwhile, Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund has caught the attention of multiple Italian clubs, with five teams reportedly monitoring his situation. The 22-year-old Danish forward has drawn interest from Internazionale, Juventus, Napoli, and AS Roma, who join AC Milan in assessing a potential deal. Following the acquisition of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, Manchester United could be open to selling Højlund for a figure believed to be around £40 million, according to various sources.
Jadon Sancho’s Future
In another twist, AS Roma has reached out to Manchester United regarding Jadon Sancho, suggesting an offer between €20 million and €25 million may be necessary to lure the winger away. Sancho, who contributed significantly during his loan period at Chelsea, has piqued the interest of Juventus as well; however, an approach from them is contingent upon offloading Nico González first.
Goalkeeper Transfers
On the goalkeeper front, Chelsea has entered the race to acquire Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain, as reported by RMC Sport. With PSG securing a new first-choice keeper in Lucas Chevalier, the club is said to be ready to entertain offers around £26 million for the 26-year-old, who may leave for free next summer. Donnarumma has dreams of playing in the Premier League if he departs from Paris.
Liverpool’s Defensive Pursuit
Lastly, Liverpool is reportedly intensifying their pursuit of Giovanni Leoni, an 18-year-old defender from Parma, as they look to bolster their backline. He is currently seen as a potential successor should their efforts to sign Crystal Palace’s Marc Guéhi not materialize. Leoni has garnered attention from several Serie A clubs following impressive performances last season, establishing himself as an Italy under-19 international.
