The future of Manchester United’s attack remains unclear. Ruben Amorim has been critical of Rasmus Højlund, even though the striker wants to stay. United might offer Højlund to RB Leipzig while pursuing a separate deal for Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, who would cost at least £55m. Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho could return to Borussia Dortmund permanently after a successful loan spell last season. The 25-year-old winger, left out of United’s pre-season tour, is reportedly willing to take a 50% pay cut to make the move happen. Chelsea are also said to be preparing a bid for United’s Alejandro Garnacho before the transfer window closes.
Juventus’ midfield is in flux, with Douglas Luiz and Weston McKennie’s futures uncertain. The club is eyeing Brighton’s Matt O’Riley, competing with Atalanta, Napoli, and Roma for his signature. Juventus want €40m for Luiz, who has reportedly skipped training to push for a move to Nottingham Forest. McKennie, whose contract expires next summer, is in talks with Milan, and Juventus may sell to avoid losing him for free.
At Brentford, Yoane Wissa left training early amid frustration over the club’s stance on his future, with Newcastle interested. The Bees have already rejected a £25m bid and are reluctant to sell after Bryan Mbeumo’s £71m departure to Manchester United. Newcastle remain keen but are exploring other options.
Liverpool are still interested in Marc Guéhi but unwilling to meet Crystal Palace’s £40m valuation, especially since he’ll be a free agent next summer.
West Ham are searching for a new goalkeeper after Lukasz Fabianski’s contract expired and have approached Leicester’s Mads Hermansen, with new goalkeeping coach Casper Ankergren potentially influencing the move.
Wolves have agreed a £12m deal for AZ Alkmaar left-back David Møller Wolfe, who has already said goodbye to his teammates ahead of his move to England.
In the Championship, Wrexham are close to signing Leicester’s Conor Coady as they aim for a third straight promotion. The former Wolves defender, with one year left on his contract, was also linked with Rangers. Wrexham are also nearing a deal for Sheffield United striker Kieffer Moore, who has a strong Championship record.
Athletic Club, after a busy summer, could pull off another major signing by bringing back fan-favorite Aymeric Laporte. The Spanish international, who left for Manchester City in 2018, is reportedly open to a return.The player is reportedly desperate to leave Al-Nassr and return to his former club. He’s already agreed to personal terms and is now negotiating an exit deal with the Saudi club. Al-Nassr manager Jorge Jesus essentially confirmed his departure, saying the player would leave and the club would “sign a replacement with similar qualities.”
