What a wild window we’re in for!
In a twist no one saw coming, Gianluigi Donnarumma yes, the best goalkeeper on the planet is being linked with a move from PSG to Manchester United. Let that sink in.
Why would a Champions League-winning keeper earning €12m a year want to join a team that finished 15th in the Prem and are nowhere near European football? Money doesn’t even make sense here.
But French giants PSG have just signed Lucas Chevalier from Lille, and L’Equipe are whispering that Gigi could be Old Trafford-bound. Crazy.
Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho could be heading back to Borussia Dortmund for the third time, this time permanently. United only want £20m, and Dortmund need a winger after Jamie Gittens left for Chelsea. The catch? Sancho will have to take a big pay cut. If he wants to play again, it’s a no-brainer.
Speaking of United, they’re apparently chasing Idrissa Gueye no, not the 34-year-old at Everton, but Metz’s 18-year-old starlet. But they’re not alone: Burnley, Brentford, and Southampton are also sniffing around.
Over at Nottingham Forest, they’re eyeing Adama Traore as a replacement for Anthony Elanga. The Spanish speedster is 29 now, with one year left on his Fulham deal. Could a reunion with Nuno Espirito Santo reignite his career?
If Adama leaves, Reiss Nelson now at Lyon could be Fulham’s Plan B, potentially on loan. And get this: even Raheem Sterling is being linked to Craven Cottage. Yes, the £325k-a-week Chelsea ghost might finally get minutes again!
And in Germany, Stuttgart are playing hardball with Nick Woltemade. Bayern Munich have already had two bids rejected the latest around €50m. Stuttgart say he’s staying put, but we all know how fast things can change in this game.
This window is absolute carnage. Buckle up.
