Summer transfer rumours 2026

It would take an awful lot of our budget to land him.
Rumours around MacAllister and Gakpo possibly joining Jones, Konate and Mo Salah out of the door.

I would take Gakpo going if we replaced him as well as a Salah replacement

Sky reporting we've approached Leipzig about Diamante. He's spoken a bit about PSG.
Not sure about going for players who speak about going to clubs.
He'd be a gamble for me, obviously most players are but in our current state I'd prefer we went for proven premier league players right now. Id still like to see us bring Bowen in. No risk at all, pace goals,assists. He'd got like a glove at LFC.

Given what I've seen of Bowen and Diomande, I'd say that Bowen is possibly a more 'solid' player, but Diomande looks to have that X factor. He's quick and a very good dribbler, something that we'll need if want a more like for like replacement for Salah. He like Salah also provides goals and assists. He looks like a player that is more suitable for the quick, dynamic, expansive football that we hope we're going to get with Iraola.

As a person and player I like Bowen, Premier league proven and not injury prone. Just think he’s too old for FSG model.

That model is just about profit. Even the biggest clubs buy some older players with qualities they need.
Fsg plan is to sell someone like wirtz at 27 -28, just like diaz.

Im definitely not a fan of english players and their price tags, but I think Bowen is just the type of player we need for depth. Instantly able to contribute anywhere in attack and a bit of a fighter.
I'd do the swap with leao (same age and value as gakpo imo).
Would also consider Nunez back depending on wages.

Rio to Bayern eh. They must see us as weak right now that they are thinking of trying to get rio.
