Jadon Sancho, Manchester United, Chelsea
Summer 2025 (End of Season Decision)
Chelsea may cancel their £25m obligation to buy Sancho if they finish above 14th. If the deal falls through, new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim will decide his future.
Jobe Bellingham (Sunderland → Manchester United)
Summer 2025
Manchester United are one of six Premier League clubs interested in Bellingham if Sunderland fail to secure promotion.
The 19-year-old midfielder is under contract until 2028, meaning Sunderland are not under financial pressure to sell, but interest from United, Brentford, and Nottingham Forest is strong.
Felix Nmecha, Borussia Dortmund
Summer Transfer Window
Manchester United have shown interest in signing Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha, who is valued at £40 million.
United are looking to bolster their midfield options, and Nmecha has emerged as a potential target. Dortmund, however, may demand a significant transfer fee before considering a sale.
Geovany Quenda & Dário Essugo (Sporting CP → Chelsea)
Quenda joins in 2026, Essugo arrives in summer 2025
Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign both Sporting Lisbon talents in a deal worth up to €74.4M.
Quenda, a highly-rated 17-year-old winger, will remain at Sporting until 2026, while Essugo, a 20-year-old midfielder on loan at Las Palmas, will join Chelsea this summer.
Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan → Arsenal/Chelsea)
Summer 2025
Arsenal and Chelsea are ahead of Liverpool in the race for Thuram, who has a £71m release clause.
Inter Milan want to keep him but may struggle to resist a big offer. Thuram joined as a free agent in 2023 after a strong spell at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Geovany Quenda (Sporting CP → Chelsea)
2026
Chelsea have beaten Manchester United to sign Quenda on a seven-year deal for €50m.
The 17-year-old conducted a secret medical and will stay on loan at Sporting CP next season before joining Chelsea permanently.
Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig)
Summer 2025
Manchester United remain interested in Simons, but RB Leipzig’s €80M asking price could be a stumbling block.
United are prioritizing an attacking midfielder and a striker, with Simons, Benjamin Sesko, and Hugo Ekitike among their targets.
Leroy Sané (Bayern Munich)
Summer 2025
Arsenal are monitoring Sané, who could be available as a free agent with his contract expiring.
Mikel Arteta, who worked with Sané at Manchester City, is keen on bringing him to the Emirates, but Bayern have yet to offer a new deal.
Alexander Isak (Newcastle United → Arsenal)
Summer 2025
Arsenal have identified Isak as their top transfer target but face competition from Liverpool.
The striker, valued at £120m, has scored 19 goals in 25 Premier League games this season, but Newcastle’s willingness to sell remains unclear.
