There are a lot of rumors out there about the upcoming transfers. Some of these come from good and confirmed sources, while others are just talk. Nevertheless, there’s going to be some big changes soon, and fans are excited about the possibilities they bring.
This article will outline some of the transfers that might be coming up, and we’ll back up our claims with sources in most cases. Keep in mind that transfers are often complicated legal contracts and that a lot of things need to line up for a transfer to come through.
Casemiro going to Al-Nassr
Al-Nassr is preparing a daring bid for the Brazilian midfielder Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, an ex-England under-21 defender. Manchester City is looking to offload some high-earning players, which may be the opportunity Al-Nassr has been waiting for.
Casemiro is one of the top earners – with £ 375,000 a week, but it’s also important to keep in mind that the Brazilian hasn’t played since November, and he’s 32 this year. United paid a £70million fee to Real Madrid last year, and they are looking to get some of that money back.
This move also comes after Al-Nassr has been rejected by Tottenham with their £20m bid for Emerson Royal.
Victor Osimhen Leaving
Victor Osimhen has said that he’s already decided to leave Napoli at the end of the season. Osimhen has been on Chelsea’s radar for a while now, but there are other bids out there. Manchester United signed a new contract with Napoli two days before Christmas. That deal runs until 2026 and comes with a pay rise, but it also contains a release clause that is €120m (£103m) at its lowest. The player has also said that he doesn’t plan to transfer to the Saudi Pro League.
Osimhen is currently playing for his national team – Nigeria at the African Cup. He’s become one of the most important strikers in Europe by scoring 31 goals combined in all competitions last year. Osmhen is also always a favorite for being the top striker at any game, with the best crypto sports betting sites always having high odds of him scoring.
Mason Greenwood Moving on to Barcelona
Barcelona has been monitoring Mason Greenwood for a while and is likely ready to make the jump finally.
“Manchester United want to sell the player, and the manager has accepted Greenwood won’t be returning. The view is that it is best for all parties to have a clean break. As talented as Greenwood is, a return to the club when they are at the start of a new chapter with new owners is regarded as a backward step, according to our source.
Greenwood is 22 years old and is currently on loan from Manchester to Getafe. He called the transfer a “dream move”.
Giovanni Reyna and Nottingham Forest Loan
Nottingham Forest is in talks with Borussia Dortmund to sign USMNT international Gio Reyna on loan until the end of the season. Some also claim that the deal must include a “purchase option” to be fully sealed.
Reyna’s contract expires next year, and he signed a representation contract with Jorge Mendes, which is usually a sign he’s seriously considering his next career move. This could be it, as Reyna has started only twice for the German club and has played as a substitute 11 more times. A contract with Nottingham Forest may be a way for a young player to have a more prominent role.
Crystal Palace may Sack Roy Hodgson
Due to bad results, Roy Hodgson may be at the end of his Crystal Palace run. Palace has fallen to 15th place, and it suffered a humiliating 5-0 defeat from Arsenal. Hodgson has talked with the chairman, Steve Parish, and it’s been decided that he’s going to stay on but that he’s on thin ice.
If Hodgson survives the Sheffield United match, it is understood those games could determine whether he remains until the end of the season, when the contract he signed last summer expires. At this point, Julen Lopetegui and Steve Cooper are the favorites to replace Hodgson.
Leander Dendoncker on a Loan to Aston Villa
A loan deal has been agreed between Aston Villa and Napoli for Leander Dendocker, a 28-year-old Belgian midfielder. The deal also includes a non-mandatory purchase option for €9m. Dendocke was mainly used as a substitute in his first season and missed out on games altogether. His manager, Unai Emery, said that it was because of “a problem at home”; he was absent from all of March 2023 due to a hand injury.
It’s important to note that this rumor comes from journalists and is making its rounds on X, but no official source has yet confirmed it.
A Bidding War for Antonio Nusa
Sources claim that Newcastle United are discussing sensationally hijacking Tottenham’s deal for Club Brugge star Antonio Nusa. Tottenham took the initiative in the race for his signature by offering to loan the teenager back to Brugge for the remainder of this season.
However, Newcastle United is looking to accommodate a young player, who wishes to remain in Belgium until the end of the season. Which offer may be more appealing to Nusa remains to be seen since there may be a number that may convince him to move.
Nusa has managed four goals and three assists in 27 appearances across all competitions this term.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting Going to Manchester United
Manchester United is eyeing two Bayern Munich players – Choupo-Moting and Marcus Edwards could both move to Manchester if the right deals are made. Choupo-Moting is being considered for a six-month loan deal.
On the other hand, Edwards will probably be purchased outright, but only after the end of this season. The 25-year-old plays as an inverted winger on the right side but can also be deployed down the middle and on the left when needed. A move can be sealed for £30 million, but only in January 2026.
Trevoh Chalobah is going to Fulham
Chelsea center-back Trevoh Chalobah is a key target for Fulham. The team needs reinforcement before the transfer window closes, and a new striker is the biggest priority. However, the deal isn’t going through at this point since the two teams can’t agree on the terms.
Chalobah is a Chelsea academy graduate, which means that selling him would represent pure profit on the books for the London club. Nottingham Forest had a £25m bid accepted for Chalobah in the summer, but the deal didn’t come through in the end.
Joe Worrall may move to Sheffield United
Sheffield United has registered its interest in signing Everton and Nottingham Forest center-backs Mason Holgate and Joe Worrall. Worrall has had a bad time with his loan to Sheffield – he only played in six games, and for a 27-year-old payer, this may seem like a dead end.
Some sources claim that the deal will include Mason Holgate as well since that’s a good way for Sheffield United to add new center-backs and improve their defense (it needs improvement). United currently has the worst defensive record in the league, having shipped 51 goals
