Manchester United have reportedly opened talks to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha, trying to move ahead of Manchester City and Liverpool. Dortmund are said to value the Germany international highly after his strong club and World Cup form.

United are seeking midfield reinforcements and view Nmecha’s versatility as useful for their rebuild. Dortmund do not want a cut-price sale, while rival interest from City, Liverpool and Real Madrid could push the price further upward.

Manchester City have agreed a club-record £116m deal with Nottingham Forest to sign Elliot Anderson, with the midfielder set for a medical before completing his move. Some sources claim the package could rise higher, but City sources insist there are no add-ons.

Forest rejected two earlier City offers before accepting the third bid, ending months of negotiations. Anderson is expected to join after focusing on England’s World Cup campaign, while Forest are now targeting two midfield signings with the money raised.

Manchester United are close to agreeing a fresh loan that would send Andre Onana back to Trabzonspor for another season. The Cameroon goalkeeper has been told he is not part of Michael Carrick’s first-team plans at Old Trafford.

Onana spent last season in Turkey and is now nearing a second temporary spell as United reshape their goalkeeping department. Trabzonspor are working to finalise terms, while United avoid reintegrating a player they no longer intend to use.

Arsenal, Newcastle United and Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.

Arsenal have reportedly held exploratory talks with Bruno Guimaraes’ representatives as they consider a shock move for the Newcastle midfielder. The Premier League champions are weighing whether to submit a formal offer for the 28-year-old Brazil international.

Mikel Arteta wants another high-level midfield option after Arsenal’s title-winning season, but Newcastle are braced for a major fight to keep Guimaraes. Any deal would likely require a huge fee, given his status and leadership role.

Neymar, FC Cincinnati and Santos.
After months of discussions over a possible MLS move.

Neymar has pulled out of talks with FC Cincinnati after growing frustrated by slow progress, with no official offer made by the MLS club. The Brazil forward remains at Santos, where his contract runs until the end of the year.

Cincinnati executives visited Brazil in April to meet Neymar and his father, but the financial structure never advanced enough. Neymar is still open to MLS if the right club and terms emerge, while he focuses on Brazil’s World Cup run.

Juventus, Roma, Fenerbahce, Marseille and Mason Greenwood.

Juventus have entered the race to sign Mason Greenwood from Marseille, joining Roma as serious Serie A interest grows. Fenerbahce have cooled their pursuit after failing to reach Marseille’s valuation, despite earlier progress on personal terms.

Marseille want a higher fee after Greenwood’s prolific campaign, while Juventus are assessing attacking targets before making a formal move. The shift leaves Serie A clubs in position to test Marseille, with Greenwood’s future still unresolved.

Freya Godfrey has signed a new three-year contract with London City Lionesses after a standout debut WSL campaign. The 21-year-old forward produced six goals and four assists and earned senior England call-ups during the 2025-26 season.

Godfrey first joined on loan from Arsenal before completing a permanent move, then helped London City finish sixth in their first top-flight season. She said regular game time has accelerated her development on and off the pitch.

Newcastle United, RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa and Anthony Gordon.
During Newcastle’s search for a left-sided attacking replacement.

Newcastle have been handed a boost in their search for an Anthony Gordon replacement, with RB Leipzig reportedly lowering their demand for Antonio Nusa to around £43m. The 21-year-old Norway winger is being closely monitored.

Scouts watched Nusa at the World Cup and his pace, dribbling and defensive work rate fit Newcastle’s needs. Bayern Munich also admire him, but Leipzig’s reduced valuation could make a Premier League move more realistic this summer.

Mason Greenwood, Fenerbahce and Marseille.

Mason Greenwood has agreed personal terms with Fenerbahce, but Marseille have not accepted the Turkish club’s current offer. Reports say Fenerbahce are proposing around €30m plus add-ons, which remains well below Marseille’s strict internal valuation.

Fenerbahce are trying to exploit Marseille’s financial pressure, while the French club believe Greenwood’s value is higher after a strong season. The deal now depends on whether Fenerbahce can close the gap with a stronger package.

Arsenal, Bayer Leverkusen and Ecuador defender Piero Hincapie.
The permanent move is set to take effect on July 1.

Arsenal have activated their option to sign Piero Hincapie permanently from Bayer Leverkusen after his one-year loan. The Ecuador defender made 39 appearances last season as Arsenal won the Premier League and reached the Champions League final.

The deal strengthens Mikel Arteta’s defensive core after Hincapie became an important rotation and big-game option. His left-footed profile, international experience and versatility give Arsenal cover across centre-back and full-back before another demanding league and European season.
