Man Utd Target Goalkeeper, Arsenal & Liverpool Battle
We’re back with another round-up of the latest Premier League transfer rumours, featuring updates on Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Leeds United, and more.
Man Utd Transfer News: Goalkeeper Search Heats Up
Man Utd transfer news today revolves around a potential agreement for Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savić. The Red Devils have placed the Serbian international on their shortlist, according to Fabrizio Romano, as they seek to improve in goal this summer. Initial talks have already taken place, though an official offer has not yet been forthcoming.
Romano continues that the final fee is unclear, but The Daily Mirror cites a €20 million (£16.9m) release clause in Milinković-Savić's contract. United might be able to negotiate a lower fee with just one year left.
The 28-year-old—who was formerly on United's books before being released in 2015 due to work permit issues—has developed into a world-class performer. He's maintained 11 clean sheets in Serie A this season with a 77.1% save percentage, higher than any Premier League goalkeeper.
3AM Verdict: While James Trafford is believed to be United's priority goalkeeper target, Man Utd transfer news suggests that interest from Newcastle has led to the club considering Milinković-Savić as a genuine alternative.
Arsenal and Liverpool in Tug-of-War Over £40m Ajax Defender
TBR Football reports Ajax star Jorrel Hato is poised for a Premier League move, with Arsenal and Liverpool leading the chase. Arsenal are "desperately" trying to get the £40m-rated Dutch defender, while Liverpool have been monitoring him for months.
Although Chelsea and Real Madrid are also in the running, Hato could be keen to play in England. Having Arsenal's Jurriën Timber as a friend could swing things in favour of the Gunners.
3AM Verdict: Hype aside, there has been no confirmation of official discussions yet. As per the latest in Man Utd transfer news circles, the club has not been linked with Hato, but both Arsenal and Liverpool may struggle to prioritize the hefty fee without offloading players first.
Leeds United Face Battle to Keep Solomon
French media outlet Team Football has delivered a blow to Leeds United supporters by reporting that the club could lose out on signing Manor Solomon permanently. The on-loan Tottenham winger, who scored the winner against Plymouth to seal Leeds' Championship title, is now a strong target for Marseille.
Solomon is reportedly admired by Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi, who has pinpointed him as a possible replacement for Luis Henrique's exit. Leeds would love to hold on to him, but French interest could see his price spiral to £15 million.
3AM Verdict: Whether Solomon stays or goes could be up to his personal decision. Leeds can perhaps offer more, but Marseille has the French Riviera. Not directly Man Utd transfer news, but an example of the high-stakes fight across Europe for young players.
Stay tuned for more Man Utd transfer news and rumors as the summer window heats up. From keepers to youngsters, Old Trafford is always one of the busiest destinations in the rumor mill.
Final 3AM Take: With interest in Milinković-Savić gaining momentum, Man Utd transfer news continues to make the headlines. As always, we'll have the latest as it breaks.
