Transfer Rumors: PSG Eyes Marcus Rashford, Newcastle Targets Matheus Cunha
Welcome to the latest edition of transfer rumors, where the football world is buzzing with potential moves and high-stakes negotiations. As the summer transfer window approaches, clubs are strategizing to bolster their squads, and fans are eagerly anticipating the next big signing. Let’s dive into the latest whispers and speculations making the rounds.
First up, we have Paris Saint-Germain reigniting their interest in Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford. According to The Sun, Aston Villa could face stiff competition from PSG in their quest to secure Rashford’s services. Villa has a permanent transfer option in the winger’s loan agreement, but his high salary might be a stumbling block. If Villa can’t strike a deal with Manchester United, PSG could swoop in, as Rashford has reportedly resumed talks with PSG’s sporting director, Luis Campos. It’s worth noting that Rashford nearly joined the Ligue 1 side earlier this season.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United is setting its sights on Wolverhampton Wanderers’ star Matheus Cunha. The Daily Mail reports that the 25-year-old has a release clause of £62.5 million in his current Wolves contract. Newcastle is likely to face fierce competition from Premier League rivals Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, who have also been linked with Cunha in recent weeks. The Magpies’ chances of landing Cunha this summer hinge on UEFA Champions League qualification, as failing to qualify could hinder their ability to fund a bid.
In other news, Leroy Sané has received an official contract offer from Bayern Munich that would keep him at the club until 2028, according to Sky Germany. The 29-year-old’s current deal is set to expire this summer, but his impressive performances have convinced Bayern to offer an extension. Sané is reportedly willing to take a pay cut to stay with the Bavarian giants, and all parties are working towards a full agreement. The German international has contributed 14 goals in 24 Bundesliga games this season.
On the Manchester City front, Kyle Walker is set to leave the club this summer, regardless of whether AC Milan exercises their purchase option, as revealed by Fabrizio Romano. The Rossoneri will decide on Walker, who is on loan at the Serie A club until the end of the season, once they appoint a new sporting director. Manchester City is already on the hunt for Walker’s replacement, with Destiny Udogie and Andrea Cambiaso among the full-backs linked with a move to the Etihad.
Lastly, Nottingham Forest is eyeing Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman as a potential summer signing, according to Ben Jacobs. The Nigerian international is “almost certain” to leave Atalanta following a public spat with manager Gian Piero Gasperini. An offer of around £43 million could be enough to secure Lookman’s services, with Tottenham also showing interest.
