Transfer Talk Heats Up as Manchester United Scramble to Fill Midfield Void
Manchester United's impending loss of Casemiro will intensify their search for a midfielder, with the Brazilian's exit set to save the club £350,000 per week. The departures of unwanted players like Kobbie Mainoo and potentially Marcus Rashford on loan may pave the way for new signings.
Meanwhile, Wythenshawe-born Cole Palmer is reportedly 'homesick' at Chelsea and could be on the move back to Manchester United in the summer. A preference for wearing the red of his boyhood club would suggest a reunion with Sir Jim Ratcliffe's outfit, as opposed to City where he currently supports the Blues.
The Red Devils are also weighing up a move for versatile Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Oyarzabal, who won the Euro 2024 final with Spain. In contrast, Liverpool is seeking to bolster their centre-back department with a major coup. While they missed out on Marc Guéhi, the Reds could potentially land Dutch defender Micky van de Ven from Wolfsburg for £100m.
Nottingham Forest is in urgent need of a new striker after losing Chris Wood to injury and will likely turn to Italian striker Lorenzo Lucca, who is set for a loan move. However, Liverpool's interest in Van de Ven could be matched by Tottenham, while Aston Villa might sign Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta.
The transfer window is running out of time, but there are still some potential deals that could be completed before the end of the month. Chelsea are considering a loan move for Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz, while Leeds Whites and Wolves are reportedly looking at signings for Joël Piroe and Jørgen Strand Larsen, respectively.
