TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United are considering an approach for Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens, according to the Daily Mail. The Red Devils are believed to have placed the 23-year-old on their shortlist as a potential alternative to Paris Saint-Germain’s Gianluigi Donnarumma, but could face competition from Inter Milan. The Serie A club are also keen to strengthen between the posts, and The Sun reports that they are interested in a reunion with André Onana. Uncertainty is continuing to surround Onana’s future at Old Trafford and he wasn’t fit enough to start in the opening Premier League match against Arsenal on Sunday, as Altay Bayindir played instead.
– Napoli are looking at Man United striker Joshua Zirkzee, reports Gazzetta dello Sport. Zirkzee, 24, is reportedly one of several options being considered by the Serie A side, who are keen to find a replacement for Romelu Lukaku after he suffered an injury during a preseason friendly with Olympiacos. Fabrizio Romano says that Napoli have also enquired with the Red Devils regarding a potential loan deal for Rasmus Hojlund, while The Independent reports he is on the radar of Fulham.

– Paris Saint-Germain want a transfer fee of around €50m from clubs looking to sign goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, says Sky Sports. Donnarumma, 26, was told to find a new club after the European champions signed Lucas Chevalier from Lille for €40m and has been attracting interest from Manchester City and Manchester United. The Italy international’s contract expires in 2026, so PSG are aware they need to move him on this window before the value of his transfer drops.
– A move for Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is being weighed up by Aston Villa, says Florian Plettenberg. Villa are reported to be closely monitoring the 24-year-old, with initial talks having already taken place. It is believed that they are one of several clubs interested in him, while Bayern Munich made a recent enquiry. Jackson, who has also been linked with Newcastle, played no part in Chelsea’s 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace on Sunday, with manager Enzo Maresca looking to both João Pedro and Liam Delap as his two main striking options.
– Barcelona have been offered the chance to sign Inter Milan defender Benjamin Pavard, according to Sport. It is reported that the 29-year-old’s representatives see the Blaugrana as a potential landing spot, but the deal could be difficult due to their financial situation. Pavard remains linked with a move away from San Siro this summer, with previous reports suggesting that an offer worth €15m would be considered. He made 37 appearances across all competitions last season, and remains in contention for minutes in the France senior national team.
CONFIRMED DEALS
– Wolves have announced the €12.5m signing of full back Jackson Tchatchoua on a permanent deal from Hellas Verona.
EXPERT TAKE
ESPN’s Mark Ogden looks at the Man United goalkeeping situation.
Manchester United are in the market for a new goalkeeper and have been throughout the summer transfer window. Attempts to sign Aston Villa No. 1 Emi Martinez failed to bear fruit, however, when Villa refused to consider United’s offer of a loan deal for the Argentina international. There has also been interest in Paris Saint-Germain’s Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Martinez, who missed Villa’s opening game of the season against Newcastle due to suspension, could still make a move and United retain an interest, but the key at Old Trafford now is to offload a number of players in order to raise funds for a late move for a new keeper. Coach Rubem Amorim gave his public backing to Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir at the weekend. Onana was omitted from the squad to face Arsenal after only just returning from a hamstring injury, while Bayindir was at fault for the Gunners’ goal which sealed a 1-0 win for Mikel Arteta’s side.
But while Amorim is supporting his two keepers publicly, it is no secret that United considered Monaco interest in Onana this summer until the French club failed to meet their £30m valuation. Inter are reportedly keen to re-sign the Cameroon international, so if United can offload Onana, they will push to sign a new keeper before the Sept. 1 deadline.
Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Tyrell Malacia and Rasmus Højlund are all available, as are Onana and Bayindir for the right offers, but United need to move players on before additional signings. Deals will happen, though, so expect United to be busy before the window shuts.
