Premier League Transfer News: Mbeumo Wants United Move, Osimhen Linked to Liverpool and More
As the summer transfer window heats up, several Premier League clubs are making headlines with major transfer links and EPLNews is here to bring you the latest, as usual.
Bryan Mbeumo Fancies a Move to Manchester United
Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo has reportedly decided that Manchester United is his preferred destination this summer. According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Mbeumo is choosing United over a host of other interested Premier League sides. His consistent performances for Brentford have caught the attention of top-tier clubs, but it’s United who appear to be in pole position for his signature.
Liverpool Among Clubs Eyeing Victor Osimhen
Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs considering a move for prolific Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen during the summer transfer window. Sky Sports have claimed that Osimhen is one of the forwards currently on new manager Arne Slot’s shortlist.
Osimhen was previously linked with Premier League sides such as Manchester United and Chelsea. Despite strong interest, a move last summer did not materialise due to Napoli’s high valuation. After a title-winning campaign featuring an astonishing 37 goals in 41 appearances, Osimhen’s name has resurfaced on the radar of top European clubs.
Liverpool’s shortlist also includes Alexander Isak, Benjamin Šeško, and Hugo Ekitiké. Reports suggest that Osimhen’s release clause is set at £63 million, although competition from rival suitors could potentially inflate that figure.
Aleksandar Mitrović Could Return to England
TalkSPORT reports that Manchester United are also exploring the possibility of bringing Aleksandar Mitrović back to the Premier League. The Serbian striker, currently at Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, is believed to be open to a return. Alongside United, both Everton and West Ham United are said to be monitoring the situation closely.
Mitrović was a key figure for Fulham before his move to Saudi Arabia and could offer a powerful presence in attack should he return to English football.
Ter Stegen and Rashford in Potential Swap Deal
Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen could be involved in a shock swap deal with Manchester United. According to Spanish outlet El Nacional, the Catalan giants are interested in acquiring Marcus Rashford, and United may be willing to entertain the idea if Ter Stegen is included in the deal.
The German shot-stopper has long been regarded as one of Europe’s top goalkeepers, and such a swap could represent a significant shake-up for both clubs involved.
Tottenham Fail in Bid for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guéhi
Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Crystal Palace and England centre-back Marc Guéhi has hit a roadblock. Football Insider reports that Spurs have failed in their attempt to land the highly rated defender. Guéhi, who is also a target for Liverpool, is reportedly not interested in a switch to the North London club at this time.
The former Chelsea academy product has impressed at Selhurst Park and is expected to draw more interest as the window progresses.
Premier League Rivals Target Feyenoord’s Quinten Timber
Feyenoord midfielder Quinten Timber is attracting significant interest from several Premier League clubs. According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham are all keen on the Dutch international.
Arsenal’s interest could lead to a family reunion, as Timber’s brother Jurrien is already at the Emirates. Quinten Timber’s versatility and technical prowess make him a valuable prospect for clubs looking to strengthen their midfield options.
Manchester City Want Rayan Aït-Nouri for £45 Million
Manchester City are pushing to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers left-back Rayan Aït-Nouri, with a reported price tag of £45 million. TBR Football suggests that City believe the Algerian full-back is a better option than other potential targets such as Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez and Juventus’ Andrea Cambiaso.
The 23-year-old has earned praise for his dynamic play down the left flank and would provide competition and depth for City’s defensive line.
Liverpool Set Price for Joe Gomez
Liverpool have reportedly set a valuation of £25 million for versatile defender Joe Gomez. Empire of the Kop claims that a number of Premier League clubs are interested in acquiring the 27-year-old.
The list of interested clubs includes Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Burnley, Everton, Leeds United, Newcastle United, Sunderland, and West Ham. Gomez’s ability to play across the backline adds to his appeal as clubs seek experienced and adaptable defenders.
Conclusion
