Transfer Updates: McAtee, Konate, Saliba, Vinicius, Gyokeres, Mbeumo, Others

Manchester City are reportedly open to letting James McAtee leave in the summer transfer window if the price is right.

According to The Telegraph, the Premier League champions have placed a £35 million transfer fee on the 22-year-old English midfielder.

West Ham United and Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt are among the clubs weighing up a move, but will need to meet City’s asking price to strike a deal.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid seems to be playing the long game in multiple directions.

Football Insider reports that Los Blancos are happy to wait until next summer to secure Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate on a free transfer. However, a lowball bid during this window remains a possibility.

Madrid are also monitoring Arsenal’s William Saliba. The 24-year-old French defender has impressed under Mikel Arteta, and L’Équipe says the Spanish giants are watching closely, ready to pounce if the door opens.

AS reports that the mouth-watering, nine-figure Saudi offer for Vinicius Jr has been withdrawn, for now.

The Real Madrid star, 25, remains a prime target for Saudi clubs, but talks could be revived in 2026 when the Brazilian forward may be more open to a move away from Europe.

Championship side Leeds United are looking to raise transfer funds by sparking a bidding war for 21-year-old Spanish attacker Mateo Joseph.

The Sun reveals that the club is hoping to offload Joseph to fund a summer transfer for Fulham’s Brazilian forward Rodrigo Muniz, 24.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is pushing for more signings before the window closes. According to The Mirror, Amorim has at least two more additions in mind. One of them could be Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres.

A Bola reports that United have launched a bid to sign the 27-year-old Swedish forward, though Arsenal are also in the mix.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Bryan Mbeumo has completed his medical ahead of a move to Manchester United from Brentford.

The 25-year-old Cameroon forward is now one step away from being unveiled as United’s latest signing.

Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to match Bournemouth’s valuation of Ukrainian defender Illia Zabarnyi, 22, according to Caught Offside.

Spurs are keen to bolster their backline and see Zabarnyi as a long-term investment.

Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest are leading the chase to sign Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey, 24, Football Insider reveals, as the midfielder seeks more game time.

Meanwhile, The Northern Echo reports that Sunderland have withdrawn from a £17.5 million deal for Sassuolo’s Armand Lauriente, deciding to look elsewhere after prolonged negotiations.
