‘Here we go’ x3 for Manchester United, plus update on midfielder search

Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham is a ‘here we go’ and it’s a crucial story because, as I reported previously, Manchester United were waiting for Wan-Bissaka to leave in order to be able to bring in a new right-back and also a new centre-back.

Now it’s happening, with Wan-Bissaka joining West Ham in a permanent transfer, and it’s an important sale as United could have lost him on a free when his contract would have expired next summer. Inter were also interested in the 26-year-old, though it would have been in a year’s time as a free agent, not in a swap deal this summer. Still, Wan-Bissaka decided to accept the offer from West Ham for a five-year contract, and he’ll have his medical tests with the Hammers this morning.

So, everything is done for Wan-Bissaka to move from Man United to West Ham for £15m – this is the value of the deal, and West Ham are truly on fire at the moment with a big summer that has seen them appoint Julen Lopetegui as their new manager whilst also completing deals like Wan-Bissaka, and also Jean-Clair Todibo, Max Kilman, Guido Rodriguez, Crysencio Summerville and others.

As I previously reported, United want to attack the market and now we can say that it’s ‘here we go’ for Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui to move to Old Trafford. The deal is done with Bayern, and we have to congratulate United because the deal has been completed as they wanted – the timing was longer than expected, but it was worth it for United.

It was not always easy negotiating with Bayern, who for months insisted on guaranteed money, not add-ons, but United always wanted to get the deals done with add-ons. Now we can say that De Ligt will be joining the Red Devils for €45m plus €5m in add-ons. Bayern sources say these add-ons will be quite easy to reach, but it’s still structured quite favourably for United, and for Mazraoui it’s also €15m plus €5m in add-ons.

Now both players will travel to join United and both are set to sign five-year deals. In the case of De Ligt, this agreement was actually reached with his agent Rafaela Pimenta back in June, so he’s been waiting and waiting for United and was never negotiating with any other club. Mazraoui has also been waiting patiently since July, with United at times considering other right-back options like Vanderson and Denzel Dumfries. Still, Mazraoui looks a good option as he knows Erik ten Hag well from their time at Ajax, and he can fill in at left-back as well as on the right-hand side.

So, this is the double deal between Bayern and United, and now Bayern are expected to sign one more centre-back. Jonathan Tah’s agent is still working on the deal for him to move to the Allianz Arena so let’s wait for developments there, but he’s expected to be the new centre-back for the Bavarian giants.

United also remain busy in the search for a new midfielder – they spoke with the agents of Sander Berge and have considered other options, but their top target remains Manuel Ugarte. PSG will have to drop their price as United will not pay crazy money, otherwise they could also sell one player in that position, it could be Scott McTominay or Casemiro, we will see, but they will likely need a sale in order to finance the deal.

Still, United could also go for a cheaper midfielder, so Berge could be one to watch after contacts with his agent, while Sofyan Amrabat remains a player on their list even after they initially decided not to sign him permanently from Fiorentina after last season’s loan came to an end. Amrabat remains appreciated by Ten Hag, so there are some Plan B options behind Ugarte, but let’s wait and see what happens with PSG on that one.

Two new signings close for Chelsea, but “impossible” for this Blues star to stay

Samu Omorodion is in London and ready to sign his seven-year deal with Chelsea, while Pedro Neto is also close to completing the formalities of his move as the Blues plan to unveil him in front of their fans at Stamford Bridge today.

Still, we also know that there are a few Chelsea players now out of the project – Romelu Lukaku, who has a three-year deal in place with Napoli, but also Kepa Arrizabalaga who is still dreaming of Real Madrid.

As well as that, Armando Broja is no longer training with the first-team, and it’s the same with Trevoh Chalobah. Both players are on the market, with Chalobah’s asking price at around £30m. It’s also important to say that David Datro Fofana is another player who could leave Chelsea on a permanent transfer, or on loan with an obligation.

Lukaku will not stay at Chelsea. Impossible. I keep saying it’s Napoli for Lukaku, regardless of the Osimhen story. Conte wants him, he wants to work with Conte, a three-year deal is ready and Napoli can accelerate soon. I don’t see any other option. Nothing is happening with Osimhen this week, there are no updates, but it’s not that strongly linked to Lukaku, and in any case the plan remains for the Nigerian striker to leave Napoli. Chelsea are still waiting, but for Osimhen we have to be patient because he is still not accepting a loan move, which is the only option at the moment for Chelsea, and also because Osimhen will not reduce his salary.

So, the conditions of the deal will have to change, or else other things could happen with the Osimhen story in the final few weeks of this summer’s transfer market.

There has been speculation about other potential Chelsea exits as well, with Carney Chukwuemeka linked with Barcelona. Still, my understanding is that there is nothing concrete so far. Chelsea have not received any bid for Chukwuemeka and the situation is currently quiet. Then in the next days we will see… but at the moment there has been no offer made to Chelsea from Barca.

Chelsea have also not received proposals from Juventus for Raheem Sterling so far, and Sterling has received no contact from Italy yet, despite rumours. What I’m told is that Juventus are working on the Nico Gonzalez deal with Fiorentina as their priority for the new winger.

Three Liverpool transfer updates

Liverpool are still working to convince Martin Zubimendi to join the club and are waiting for his final decision. Just a reminder that other clubs such as Arsenal have also been interested in the Real Sociedad midfielder in recent times but were unable to persuade him to move, though there were no negotiations from the Gunners for him this summer.

Elsewhere with Liverpool, Fabio Carvalho is closing in on completing his move to Brentford. It’s a permanent deal worth £20m plus add-ons. However, there is no news at all on Virgil van Dijk, despite some stories at various points this summer.

It’s currently very quiet as Liverpool are counting on Van Dijk and there are no significant updates so far. In my opinion, he should stay and continue as he’s a key player for Liverpool and new manager Arne Slot will need him and the quality and experience he brings.

In other news…

Jadon Sancho – There’s still no major update on Jadon Sancho’s future, but he remains one of the cases of this market. PSG have been making contact with Sancho’s agents, but there’s no bid yet, and he’s back in the Man United squad so let’s see what they will decide to do.

Marc Guehi – Newcastle are still there, yes. It’s not over yet. They want to try again but Crystal Palace insist on £65m fee. There are currently no other clubs involved, but Newcastle have not completed the deal yet so it’s one to follow in the next days.

Vladimir Coufal – There has been talk of West Ham sales, and it is the case that Coufal could leave and also some players upfront, but for now I can guarantee that focus remains on completing signings. The Wan-Bissaka deal is being sealed, then West Ham will discuss outgoings in the final three weeks, with nothing imminent yet.

The post Transfer news: ‘Here we go’ for Man Utd deals, two Chelsea signings imminent, Liverpool update & more appeared first on CaughtOffside.

There has been no offer from Barcelona for Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka so far this summer, according to transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano.

The talented 20-year-old looks a fine prospect but has so far struggled to fully establish himself at Stamford Bridge, largely because of fitness concerns, while there is already plenty of competition for a place in this Blues squad.

Chukwuemeka has been linked as a possible target for Barca, but Romano has discussed these rumours with CaughtOffside for the latest edition of his exclusive Daily Briefing column, and has played down the story.

Things could change, of course, but for now it seems there’s nothing particularly concrete to the Chukwuemeka to Barcelona rumours, so Chelsea fans will probably be reassured by this news as it gives the Englishman another chance to try to make more of an impact for the club this season.

Chukwuemeka transfer links with Barcelona played down by Romano

“There has been speculation about other potential Chelsea exits as well, with Carney Chukwuemeka linked with Barcelona,” Romano said.

“Still, my understanding is that there is nothing concrete so far. Chelsea have not received any bid for Chukwuemeka and the situation is currently quiet. Then in the next days we will see… but at the moment there has been no offer made to Chelsea from Barca.”

Chelsea do have an overly inflated squad, though, so it may be that this is something which will need addressing soon.

A number of CFC first-team players will most likely leave soon, with Romano mentioning Trevoh Chalobah and Armando Broja as likely candidates for the exit door, though he has not yet suggested that Chukwuemeka is particularly likely to leave.

Barcelona could do well, however, to snap up this big prospect and give him a chance if Chelsea are ultimately not willing to do that in the months ahead.

The post No offer so far from Barcelona for potential transfer of Chelsea midfielder appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Chelsea are yet to receive any kind of formal approach for Raheem Sterling despite some transfer rumours about him being a target for Juventus this summer.

That’s according to Fabrizio Romano as he spoke exclusively to CaughtOffside for his Daily Briefing column, with the Italian journalist suggesting Juve have other priorities for the winger role anyway.

Sterling has struggled to show his best form in a Chelsea shirt since his move from Manchester City two years ago, and one imagines there are a few Blues fans who’d be quite happy to see him move on.

Still, it seems nothing is imminent with that, as Romano has played down the Juventus links, whilst also making it clear that no one else has come in for the former Man City man just yet.

It could be that we’ll see Sterling stick around for a bit longer at Chelsea, and it will be interesting to see if his form can improve under new manager Enzo Maresca, though one imagines there’s also a chance he won’t be able to keep his place in the CFC first XI in the season ahead.

Sterling transfer update from Fabrizio Romano

“Chelsea have also not received proposals from Juventus for Raheem Sterling so far, and Sterling has received no contact from Italy yet, despite rumours,” Romano said.

“What I’m told is that Juventus are working on the Nico Gonzalez deal with Fiorentina as their priority for the new winger.”

Sterling could surely be a tempting option for Juventus and other top clubs, but it remains to be seen if there’ll be any significant developments on this any time soon.

The England international might well be past his best at the very highest level now, so with clubs increasingly buying younger talents in this current market, they might well view him as too risky a profile to go for.

The post Chelsea yet to receive transfer approach for first-team player appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano has provided a reassuring Liverpool update as he says there’s not currently anything happening with Virgil van Dijk and a possible move away from Anfield.

There has been some speculation over Van Dijk’s future in recent times, but the experienced Netherlands international does not seem to have a move on the horizon for the moment, with Romano also expressing his view that the 33-year-old should stay as he’ll likely be an important part of Arne Slot’s plans.

Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his latest Daily Briefing column, Romano moved to calm speculation about Van Dijk, insisting he’s not hearing any news at all on any potential exit this summer.

Romano is possibly the most well-connected transfer journalists in the industry, so if he’s not aware of anything happening with Van Dijk, then it most likely means LFC fans can relax about this story for the time being.

Van Dijk transfer: Reassuring Liverpool news from Romano

It’s mostly been a quiet summer for Liverpool so far, but Romano did also provide some updates on the potential signing of Martin Zubimendi and Fabio Carvalho’s imminent departure to Brentford.

Man United are closing in on the signings of Bayern Munich duo Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui as Erik ten Hag is keen to reunite with his former players. 

The Dutch coach worked with the pair at Ajax and with Bayern open to selling the two players, the Man United boss has been keen all summer to bring them to Old Trafford to strengthen his backline.

The Premier League club have agreed a fee for De Ligt worth an initial €45m plus €5m in add-ons, while a guaranteed €15m plus €5m in add-ons has been settled on for Mazraoui.

Both defenders have signed five-year deals at Man United plus an option of an extra season and are expected to undergo their medical tests on Monday, while also completing all the formal steps.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Monday is going to be “Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui day” at Old Trafford and it could be when both players are officially announced as new members of Ten Hag’s squad.

Is Erik ten Hag recreating another Ajax at Man United?

It is hard to gauge whether De Ligt and Mazraoui will be a success at Man United but it is never a good sign when a club as big as Bayern Munich are willing to let the players go pretty easily.

Ten Hag seems eager to work with players he trusts and is looking to add the duo to the former Ajax stars already at Old Trafford. Andre Onana joined the Manchester club last summer, while Lisandro Martinez and Antony followed their Dutch coach to Manchester in 2022.

This doesn’t seem like a good way of doing business and it has shown already with the signing of Antony blowing up in the Man United coach’s face.

However, there is a lot of potential for the double signing to go positively and Ten Hag seems certain that the two players are needed at the Premier League giants.

Newcastle United’s pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi does not look to be over just yet as they want to try again for the £65m-rated England international, according to transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano.

Guehi has shone for Palace and had an impressive Euro 2024 with England as well, so it’s not too surprising that the Eagles seem determined to get as much money as possible from his sale if he is to leave Selhurst Park this summer.

It remains to be seen precisely how this saga will pan out, but it seems Romano is aware of Newcastle being keen to try again for Guehi, while other clubs joining the race perhaps can’t be ruled out either, even if it hasn’t happened yet.

Newcastle will no doubt be keen not to fall foul of Financial Fair Play regulations, so £65m might be a lot for them to pay, though of course there may be ways of bringing that fee down if the deal includes any particular bonuses, add-ons, or perhaps even the inclusion of a player moving in the opposite direction.

Guehi transfer update from Fabrizio Romano

Discussing the latest on the Guehi to Newcastle saga, Romano spoke exclusively to CaughtOffside for his latest Daily Briefing to make it clear that this story is not over yet and will be one to watch in the coming days.

“Newcastle are still there, yes. It’s not over yet. They want to try again but Crystal Palace insist on £65m fee,” Romano said.

“There are currently no other clubs involved, but Newcastle have not completed the deal yet so it’s one to follow in the next days.”

NUFC have shown plenty of ambition and nous in the transfer market in recent times and this would be another smart signing if they could pull it off.

The post “Not over yet” – Newcastle United want to try again for potential £65m transfer appeared first on CaughtOffside.

It looks “impossible” for Romelu Lukaku to stay at Chelsea and it’s possible that a transfer deal with Napoli could accelerate soon, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his latest Daily Briefing column, Romano explained that Lukaku remains a priority target for new Napoli manager Antonio Conte, while the Belgium international also has a three-year contract ready with the Serie A giants.

The Lukaku deal has taken some time to be completed, and there had even been some speculation suggesting it couldn’t go through if Napoli are unable to sell current striker Victor Osimhen.

However, Romano insists that Lukaku potentially joining Napoli does not depend on Osimhen, so it’s clear the Italian journalist is very confident that the 31-year-old will eventually end up finalising his exit from Stamford Bridge.

Lukaku went out on loan to Roma last season, and to Inter Milan the year before that, so it certainly would have been a surprise if Enzo Maresca had found a way back for him into the Chelsea first-team this term.

Lukaku transfer: Chelsea stay looks “impossible”, according to Romano

“Lukaku will not stay at Chelsea. Impossible,” Romano said.

“I keep saying it’s Napoli for Lukaku, regardless of the Osimhen story. Conte wants him, he wants to work with Conte, a three-year deal is ready and Napoli can accelerate soon. I don’t see any other option.”

Lukaku may have flopped at Chelsea, but he’s done well in his various spells in Serie A and should be an ideal signing for Conte at Napoli.

The pair worked well together at Inter, and one imagines this is the ideal scenario for Lukaku to get back to his best and put this difficult spell with the Blues behind him.

Napoli fans may be disappointed at the likely sale of Osimhen, but Lukaku should end up being a fine replacement for the Nigeria international up front.

The post “Impossible” for Chelsea star to stay and transfer could accelerate soon, claims expert appeared first on CaughtOffside.

This summer, unlike 12 months ago, West Ham have been one of the major players in the transfer market.

Technical director, Tim Steidten, has secured some remarkable signings already, and it appears that the Hammers still aren’t done in transforming their first team ahead of the closure of the window at the end of the month.

It’s surely an exciting time to be a fan of the Irons, with Julen Lopetegui’s rebuild arguably being the biggest change that’s been seen at the club in years.

West Ham’s right-back search takes unexpected twist

One area in which it’s understood the Hammers still want to improve is in the right-back slot.

Though it could mean that the reliable Vladimir Coufal will end up dropping to the bench, if not leaving the club altogether, if Steidten lands his reported target, there’s little argument that the club would have secured another upgrade in a key area.

Fabrizio Romano has a surprising update for West Ham fans, however, and one that they might not have been expecting.

“Talks with Aaron Wan-Bissaka continue for West Ham and he remains their priority for the right-back position, although it is a complicated deal to get over the line,” he said to CaughtOffside for his exclusive Daily Briefing.

“Despite the rumours, I’m not aware of talks for Arnau Martinez, and Kieran Trippier will only be an option if the Wan Bissaka deal falls through.

“There’s no imminent move for Vladimir Coufal either from what I heard.”

Given how well Steidten has worked the transfer window so far, West Ham fans arguably need to trust that the German’s instincts will again prove correct in this instance.

Whether it’s Wan-Bissaka, Martinez of Trippier, the addition will be another solid one and will give the Hammers one of the strongest squads they’ve had in ages.

The post “I’m not aware of talks” – Fabrizio Romano shares surprising update on West Ham’s right-back search appeared first on CaughtOffside.

They’ve already bought Joshua Zirkzee this summer, but it appears that Man United could still be ready to add a £50m-rated international ace to their strike force before the transfer window closes at the end of this month.

Focus seems to be on defensive reinforcements at present, given that Erik ten Hag is set to be without Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Victor Lindelof for the Community Shield game against Man City, and potentially beyond.

Man United’s striker chase signals real intent

Moves for Noussair Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt have been in abeyance for some while now, and as each day passes, the need to sign the pair becomes more and more acute. It isn’t entirely clear at this point what the hold up is.

Though defence remains a priority, if the club can bring in another front man, it looks likely that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his board will authorise the deal.

Football Insider suggest that the Red Devils will make a bid for Brentford’s Ivan Toney, and Fabrizio Romano, talking to CaughtOffside for his exclusive Daily Briefing, hasn’t ruled out such a move.

“I think there’s still a chance for a move to happen this summer for Ivan Toney,” he said.

“There could be movements in the next days and weeks, but there’s nothing imminent so far.

“We have to see about which clubs have a concrete interest, because about 10 different clubs have been rumoured to be interested in him this summer.

“I don’t want to put out names without any concrete updates but, for sure, it’s still an open situation.”

It seems fairly clear that, as we enter the final few weeks of the window, that the race for certain players, including Ivan Toney, is going to hot up.

Brentford have had to drop their price significantly, and if anything that makes him a more attractive proposition to buying clubs.

He will have to get back on the goal trail quickly, however, with WhoScored noting he managed just four since his comeback in January, none of which were scored after February 17.

The post Romano: “Still a chance” for £50m-rated international striker that Man United love to move this summer appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Ange Postecoglou will be acutely aware of how important getting in some new faces at Tottenham before the start of the new season is.

The North Londoners were almost nailed on for a finish in the Champions League places last season, but an horrendous end to the campaign saw Aston Villa finish in fourth in their stead.

It might well be a blessing for a team that are still emerging under the Australian, given the extra load that will be placed on the playing staff, however, the associated extra money could’ve opened up more commercial possibilities for the club and, potentially, seen the manager handed a bigger transfer pot.

Tottenham aware of striker’s transfer position

In any event, Spurs remain on the trail of Bournemouth’s brilliant centre-forward, Dominic Solanke.

He’s believed to not come cheaply, and that perhaps might’ve gone some way to explaining why the club appeared to accede to a move for Richarlison.

Recent news has indicated the the Brazilian striker isn’t interested in a move to Saudi Arabia, however, thus denying Spurs the chance of recouping around £60m.

— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 8, 2024

Any thoughts that this could see the move for Solanke hit the buffers is wide of the mark.

“There are no changes to Tottenham’s plans on signing Dominic Solanke, despite Richarlison wanting to stay,” Fabrizio Romano told CaughtOffside for his exclusive Daily Briefing.

“Solanke remains the priority target. Richarlison is fully focused on Spurs and Tottenham were already aware of this so his situation doesn’t change the plan to bring in more players.”

If Richarlison continues to rebuff all offers for his services, it will be interesting to see if his manager goes with a front two to accommodate the Brazilian and Solanke, should the latter arrive, or if the former is relegated to the bench and forced to fight for a starting place.
