The Premier League summer transfer window started on June 16th and most teams immediately began doing business. But, the market is still in its early stages as we saw only a couple of transfers in the first week or so. However, things will surely change in the coming weeks.
English clubs and agents are working on numerous deals behind closed doors with a large dose of secrecy. Thanks to well-informed journalists, we get a glimpse of what’s going on during these meetings. Here, we’ll present the most eye-catching Premier League 2024/25 transfer rumours.
Darwin Nunez Ready to Switch Liverpool With Napoli – The Sportsbooks Odds Also Indicate the Transfer
It appears that Darwin Nunez is days away from leaving Liverpool as Napoli leads the race for his signature. The Uruguayan striker is actively pushing for the transfer as he wants to join Conte’s side.
Liverpool’s asking price is set at £59 million, which Napoli sees as too high at the moment. But, the negotiations are very much active. The Italian champion is working on deal structure and feasibility of the whole package.
While Liverpool and Napoli are trying to find a middle ground, the betting odds for Nunez’s transfer have a down trajectory at sportsbooks. The current situation and energy indicate that the move will happen in the coming days.
Newcastle Working on Elanga, Trafford, and Pedro
The Magpies are looking for a strong start in the PL transfer market as they made 3 bids totalling £125 million. This triple offer includes Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest, James Trafford from Burnley, and Joao Pedro from Brighton.
According to reports, all three players are fond of the move and they would love to play under Eddie Howe. Newcastle won’t have any trouble dealing with their wages as the club returns to the Champions League next season.
However, it seems like there are a few gaps in the initial bids. The biggest difference is on the Elanga deal as Nottingham rejected Newcastle’s bid of £45 million. Forest values this player at £60 million.
Arsenal in Active Talks to Sign Mosquera
Arsenal is currently in talks with Valencia over the Spanish centre-defender Cristhian Mosquera. The player has only one year left on his contract which makes the transfer negotiations a bit easier.
The Gunners are in ongoing talks with Valencia and Mosquera. The current figures of this transfer are unknown as the details are still only familiar to the clubs.
Arteta is searching for a right-sided centre-back on the market as a way to increase the squad’s competition. We should note that Arsenal has been actively looking into Mosquera’s development over the past 2 years.
Liverpool Set to Battle With Arsenal and Manchester United for Gyokeres
As Darwin Nunez looks set to part ways with Liverpool, the Reds turn to the market for a replacement. In the past few weeks, we read many rumours about Isak joining Liverpool. But, a new hot topic is Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon.
He’s one of the most desired strikers currently available on the market. It seems like Liverpool will battle with Arsenal and Manchester United for his signature.
The only thing that can go wrong with this deal is Sporting’s asking price. This club values Gyokeres at £85 million, which angered the striker as it might ruin his transfer plans this summer.
Manchester United Are Ready to Clinch a Deal for Mbuemo
It seems like Manchester United is ready for new drastic squad changes, this time with Ruben Amorim in charge. The club recently signed Matheus Cunha from Wolves for a fee of £62.5 million.
Now, the Red Devils are ready to finalise a deal with Brentford for Bryan Mbuemo. According to reports, the transfer of this winger will go over £60 million. The initial fee seems to be in agreement. Now, the clubs are negotiating the add-ons, which may take the deal close to Brentford’s asking price of £65 million.
We should note that the Bees rejected Manchester United’s initial bid of £55 million. Tottenham also held transfer talks for Mbuemo, but it seemed like the Red Devils were more persuasive. Let’s wait a few days to see the final details of this deal.
