Looks like the summer transfer season is getting spicy! Let's catch up on the latest football whispers:
Man Utd's Ugarte Hunt
Man Utd is super keen to grab Paris Saint-Germain's midfielder, Manuel Ugarte, for around €45m (about £38m). But here's the thing, they're not the only ones eyeing him. Both Man City and Barcelona are crushing on the 22-year-old Uruguayan too, so they might need to put their running shoes on if they want to win this race, according to Le10Sport.
Chasing Ferdi Kadioglu
And it seems like Man Utd isn't stopping at Ugarte. They're also eyeing Fenerbahce's left-back, Ferdi Kadioglu. Erik ten Hag, their manager, is apparently eager to beef up the defense before the new season kicks off. We might see some chats with Kadioglu's people happening pretty soon, if Sports Digitale in Turkey is right.
Liverpool's Transfer Bummer
Liverpool's boss, Arne Slot, made a last-ditch effort to snag Atalanta's midfielder Teun Koopmeiners with a quick phone call. But, spoiler alert, the Dutch player had already promised to join Juventus. This isn't great news for Liverpool, who are on the lookout for some midfield muscle, as Alfredo Pedulla spilled the beans.
Chelsea's Adeyemi Wish List
Chelsea might throw a €30m (about £25m) bid at Borussia Dortmund for their forward, Karim Adeyemi. If you ask CaughtOffside, it seems like Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea's new big boss, wants some serious firepower upfront, especially if Raheem Sterling is thinking of moving to Al Ahli.
Madrid's Goalie Headache
Real Madrid is playing a game of 'What if' with their goalie situation. If Andriy Lunin decides to leave, they might go after Porto's Diogo Costa. AS in Spain says this guy has a €75m (about £63m) price tag attached, so he's not exactly a bargain! They're just keeping their options open in case they need a solid backup for Thibaut Courtois.
Arsenal's Midfield Shuffle
Arsenal's getting closer to saying bye to Emile Smith Rowe, who's probably heading to Fulham. TEAMtalk says Fulham's third bid is just around the corner. Plus, there's some good news for Gooners! They're looking pretty good to snatch Crystal Palace's defender, Marc Guehi, to bulk up their defense for the new season.
So, hold onto your hats, because the transfer season is just getting started, and there's sure to be more drama and surprises coming our way!
