Man Utd chiefs jet out to conclude £69m deal for Real Madrid star who has ‘packed bags’ and Liverpool to bid £26m for star next week
On Sunday, July 2, these are the most recent transfer rumors from the Premier League and other countries.
A deal will be completed in Spain by United executives.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has directed United officials to travel to Madrid to finalize a deal for Aurelien Tchouameni of Real Madrid.
The midfielder is once again on the Dutchman’s radar as a potential transfer target, and according to Spanish daily Nacional, the Frenchman will depart the capital of Spain this summer.
Tchouameni “aims to pack his bags” after just one season at the Bernabeu after United “showed a special willingness to welcome him into their ranks.”
Arsenal target not present for practice
Due to a potential move to Arsenal, Jurrien Timber missed yesterday’s Ajax training session.
In a transaction that will originally cost £36 million with an additional £4 million in add-ons, the £40 million defender is scheduled to relocate from the Netherlands to north London.
Timber had been working on his own training in the Dutch base, but by skipping Saturday’s first practice under new manager Maurice Steijn, rumors of a move to the Premier League have grown.
According to the Dutch publication AD, Ajax does not anticipate having Timber rejoin their team.
After coming so close to defeating Manchester City the previous season, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is eager to strengthen his team this year.
The Reds, meanwhile, are expected to submit a £26 million offer for Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Manu Kone the following week. The transfer would be a steal for the Anfield team and was called “phenomenal” by former Chelsea custodian turned pundit Mark Schwarzer.
Chelsea’s bid was turned down
Juventus rejected Chelsea’s initial bid to recruit Duan Vlahovi.
According to Corriere della Sera, Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues have made a €60 million offer for the former Fiorentina forward who struggled last season in Turin.
The frontman has previously been mentioned in connection with Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Arsenal.
Liverpool and Chelsea are the front-runners for defense
According to Spanish media, Liverpool and Chelsea “remain favorites” to recruit Sporting CP’s Goncalo Inacio as a center defender.
Real Madrid, a Spanish powerhouse, is also interested in the £43 million defender.
Liverpool has been concentrating on filling positions in the midfield, and Dominik Szoboszlai is expected to sign in the next few days after a £60 million deal was finalized.
However, Reds manager Jurgen Klopp will also need to consider the defenders, as he will have to compete with Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino for Inacio, 21.
