The transfer market has been buzzing with excitement this week, reaching such a fever pitch that it’s akin to a steamy window, evoking memories of the late Tina Turner. Let’s start with some updates on familiar stories. After Manchester City withdrew from the race, Declan Rice is now set to join Arsenal for a staggering price tag exceeding £100m. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich is showing increased interest in Harry Kane, and they are reportedly willing to raise their offer to £80m.
However, the current talk of the town in transfer circles revolves around 21-year-old Spanish midfielder Gabri Veiga. Celta Vigo has set a €40m (£34.5m) release clause for Veiga, who is being pursued by Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea. Veiga is considered a top talent and a cheaper alternative to Rice.
Now, let’s shift our attention to a name that has been in the rumors for some time. Dominik Szoboszlai, who unfortunately missed Hungary’s Euro 2020 campaign, is the latest Leipzig player to attract interest from Premier League clubs. Newcastle has been linked with him, but Liverpool is also keen on securing his services for a fee of £60m.
Manchester United fans, who have been growing increasingly anxious, can breathe a sigh of relief as there are signs of movement. Brighton’s Moises Caicedo is a potential midfield reinforcement that United is eyeing, while they continue to negotiate a deal for Mason Mount that has recently slowed down. Across the border in Portugal, Benfica’s president claims that United is willing to pay €80m for 22-year-old Portuguese forward Gonçalo Ramos, who impressed while filling in for Cristiano Ronaldo at the World Cup.
Could it be that Manchester United is also considering offloading Harry Maguire to West Ham? The Hammers, managed by David Moyes, are also targeting Everton’s Amadou Onana and Juventus’s Denis Zakaria, who spent last season on loan at Chelsea.
Perhaps Manchester United has realized, perhaps belatedly, that they may miss out on some players while their takeover drags on. Bayern Munich has swooped in and agreed on personal terms with long-time United target Kim Min-jae from Napoli. The German champions will pay the £42m release clause for the center-back that United failed to act upon.
On top of all this, there seems to be a goalkeeping quandary at Manchester United. David de Gea’s recent tweet suggests that he may be content to see out his contract or that he’s growing frustrated with the current situation. André Onana is expected to arrive from Inter, but this may only happen once De Gea is released.
Meanwhile, Chelsea is following their tried and tested approach of buying young talent while also trimming their squad. Santos’s Angelo, who is also coveted by Barcelona, will cost a modest £15m. He will join the ranks with midfielder Andrey Santos, who is currently on loan at Vasco da Gama while finalizing his visa requirements.
And just one more for good luck? Celtic is eager to bring back Kieran Tierney from Arsenal, but the financial aspect and the opportunity to compete for the Premier League title may hinder that reunion.
