Alejandro Garnacho will be allowed to leave Manchester United this summer if the price is right. One surprising potential suitor is Aston Villa, who could make a move for the winger. They took Marcus Rashford on loan from Old Trafford last season, revitalising his career somewhat in the progress, so Garnacho may feel it is a move in the right direction away from the current dead end.
It will be a busy summer at United as Ruben Amorim attempts to assemble a squad that has the vague chance of fitting into his 3-4-3 constraints. One key area where improvement is required is centre-forward. A potential plan to source an actual goalscorer could see United offer up Joshua Zirkzee to Napoli as part of a deal for Victor Osimhen. There could, however, be some very serious competition for the Nigerian as Liverpool may also fancy a nibble.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike is another shortlisted name at United. The Frenchman scored 15 goals in the Bundesliga last season and, at 22, could be getting better for years to come. If anyone does want to sign Ekitike, it will cost them €100m (£85m). “If the price isn’t right, then he’ll just stay with us. We don’t have to sell Hugo,” said the Frankfurt CEO, Markus Krösche.
Bayer Leverkusen and Erik ten Hag continue to sniff around the vicinity of the Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah. The 22-year-old struggled for regular minutes under Arne Slot last season but the homegrown centre-back is still valued at £40m around Anfield.
Thomas Frank is now officially the new Tottenham head coach. When a manager moves from one club to another, there are always a few rumours that he will take some of his favourites from his previous employer with him. In Frank’s case Bryan Mbeumo has already been heavily touted as someone of interest, while Christian Nørgaard could be another name the new manager will whisper into Daniel Levy’s ear, having worked with his compatriot at Brondby too. Everton, Fulham and Bournemouth are also rumoured to be keen.
Milan have gone on the blower to Arsenal to ascertain the availability of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior. If the pair do leave, it could prompt Mikel Arteta to firm up his interest in the Ajax defender Jorrel Hato but Chelsea are also keen.
After impressing in the Scottish Premiership for Rangers, Hamza Igamane has gained a couple of admirers south of the border. West Ham and Brentford are somewhat eager to pursue a deal for the 22-year-old Moroccan, who scored 16 times last season.
Leeds United are back in the big time and they want to bring the Udinese defender Jaka Bijol with them to the Premier League. The 26-year-old Slovenian, who has already amassed 63 caps for this country, is valued in the region of £15m.
And the Panathinaikos striker Fotis Ioannidis is a wanted man in England. Crystal Palace, alongside the relegated duo Leicester and Southampton, are interested in the Greek international, who could cost in the region of £17m.
Caught Offside
Aston Villa & West Ham battling to sign €40m assist machine
Aston Villa and West Ham United are both among the clubs interested in a potential transfer deal for Atalanta right-back Raoul Bellanova.
The 25-year-old Italy international, who can play right-back or right wing-back, is understood to be valued by Atalanta at around €40m, sources with close links to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.
Bellanova has not yet held any concrete talks over a summer transfer, but one source confirmed that he has “started to attract the attention of Premier League clubs”.
Aston Villa and West Ham are joined by Fulham in keeping an eye on Bellanova, while Napoli also have some interest in the former Inter Milan and Cagliari player.
What next for Raoul Bellanova amid Premier League transfer interest?
Bellanova has a fine record from right-back or wing-back, with the Italian ace contributing nine assists in all competitions in the season just gone.
It’s easy to imagine the player could now be ready to make the step up in his career and represent either the champions of Serie A or a big club in the Premier League.
Bellanova could offer Villa something different from Matty Cash in that position, while West Ham might also benefit from bringing him in as an upgrade on Aaron Wan-Bissaka, while Vladimir Coufal has left the club on a free transfer.
Unai Emery has done a fine job at Villa Park so might be seen as the more tempting option right now, after West Ham struggled for much of last season under both Graham Potter and his predecessor Julen Lopetegui.
