Manchester United and Newcastle United are ready to make a move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani, while Nottingham Forest are preparing an audacious bid to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United.
Randal Kolo Muani is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain before the transfer window closes, and Foot Mercato reports that Manchester United and Newcastle United are weighing up an offer. Newcastle are looking at alternatives after Liverpool won the race for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike (who also rejected a move to Man United), and the 26-year-old Kolo Muani has emerged as a leading contender. Man United, meanwhile, are still looking at ways to refresh their forward line after signing Matheus Cunha and agreeing a deal for Brentford‘s Bryan Mbeumo. Kolo Muani impressed on loan at Juventus in the second half of last season, netting eight times in 19 games, but PSG want a permanent transfer which the Serie A club cannot finance.
Nottingham Forest are preparing a bid for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho, according to The Sun. The England international, who spent last season on loan at Chelsea, has been identified by Forest as a potential Anthony Elanga replacement. Sancho — who fell out with former boss Erik ten Hag and been loaned out to Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea — is surplus to requirements got head coach Ruben Amorim – and is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer.
– Manchester United are intensifying their efforts to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko this summer, TEAMtalk has revealed. The 22-year-old is high on Ruben Amorim’s striker wishlist, despite having previously rejected a move to Old Trafford. Arsenal’s failure to secure a deal for Sesko could open the door for United, who have maintained regular contact since 2022. The Slovenia international has scored 39 goals in 87 appearances for RB Leipzig, where he is under contract until June 2029.
– Real Madrid have four big decisions to make this summer, Diario AS reports, with Thibaut Courtois, Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba all out of contract in 2026. Courtois, 33, is likely to receive a two-year extension, the newspaper says, while the future of Carvajal, 34, is uncertain after the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold. The situation of Alaba, 34, is “most delicate,” according to AS, as he’s now the fifth centre-back in the squad, while there are long-term fitness concerns about Rudiger, 33.
– Rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona could help each other out, as a move for Rodrygo to Liverpool could free up Luis Díaz to join Barça, Diario AS reports. Diaz is high on Barça sporting director Deco’s list of wide forward targets, the newspaper says, and if a deal could be struck with Liverpool — which may prove difficult given that he’s valued at around €100 million — then the Anfield club could look to bring in Rodrygo as a replacement, with all three clubs benefitting. However, Florian Plettenberg reports that Díaz has told Liverpool that he wants to join Bayern Munich. Enditem
