Manchester, England – Manchester United is actively evaluating a potential transfer for Ipswich Town forward Liam Delap, 21, as alternative options for their attacking line. United’s interest arises should they miss out on Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres, 26, or Victor Osimhen, 26, currently on loan at Galatasaray.
Sources indicate that the club is keen to bolster its squad ahead of the next season, with Delap emerging as a viable target. Delap has shown promise during his time at Ipswich, making him an attractive option in the event that United cannot secure their primary targets.
Meanwhile, Manchester City is determined to enhance its roster with a focus on Atalanta midfielder Ederson, 25. The Brazilian player has caught the attention of City officials as they plan for the upcoming campaign.
In other news, Real Madrid‘s Vinicius Jr, 24, is currently in negotiations to extend his contract with the club. The forward, whose current deal runs until 2027, reportedly turned down Madrid’s initial offer for an extension, leading to speculation about his future.
Real Madrid is also prioritizing the acquisition of Arsenal center-back William Saliba, 23, although the Gunners are expected to demand a world-record fee for a defender if they agree to let him leave.
In the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund faces potential challenges in retaining Jamie Gittens, 20, as Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea are reportedly eyeing the young winger. Dortmund could be compelled to sell if they fail to secure a Champions League spot next season.
Tottenham Hotspur has identified Adam Wharton, 21, from Crystal Palace and Tyler Dibling, 18, from Southampton as key targets for their midfield rebuild. The club’s focus is to enhance their roster amidst a challenging season.
Additionally, Everton is pursuing West Bromwich Albion‘s Tom Fellows, 21, as they seek to revitalize a squad that requires reinforcements in multiple areas. The Toffees are laying the groundwork for a significant summer transfer window.
On the managerial front, Spurs are set to evaluate Ange Postecoglou‘s future following their FA Cup clash against Aston Villa this weekend. However, Postecoglou stated he is not preoccupied with the idea of being dismissed if the team does not secure a victory.
