The summer transfer window is shaping up to be a wild one, and the latest whispers have Premier League giants Liverpool and Chelsea circling Real Madrid’s Rodrygo. Reports suggest the Brazilian winger is unhappy in Madrid, potentially opening the door for a move to England. His dissatisfaction stems from a perceived mismatch between his playing style and the team’s current tactical approach under manager Carlo Ancelotti. Only the potential arrival of Xabi Alonso as manager might convince Rodrygo to stay at the Bernabéu, according to Marca. Rodrygo’s contract runs until 2028, meaning any transfer would command a hefty fee.
Meanwhile, across town, Manchester United are reportedly pursuing a different target: Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah. The German international center-back is available on a free transfer, as his contract expires at the end of the season. While Barcelona had been heavily linked with Tah, financial difficulties seem to have stalled those negotiations, leaving the door open for Man United to swoop in. The Red Devils, however, face competition for Tah’s signature from Bayern Munich and Real Madrid themselves.
But the transfer rumors don’t stop there! Everton are reportedly making a strong push for Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, triggering a relegation clause that sets his price at a relatively affordable £30 million. However, they’ll likely face fierce competition from other Premier League heavyweights eager to secure the young English talent. Chelsea are also said to be frontrunners in the race for Lorient’s Arthur Avom, a highly touted midfielder compared to Yaya Touré, with West Ham and Aston Villa also expressing interest. Finally, Manchester City have seemingly secured the services of young striker Mahamadou Sangaré from PSG on a free transfer, pending a medical.
This flurry of activity suggests a summer of significant player movement is on the horizon. Will Rodrygo make the switch to the Premier League? Will Man United successfully add Tah to their defensive ranks? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the next few weeks promise plenty of exciting transfer developments.
