As clubs in the Premier League scramble to make last-minute purchases and keep the window from closing on their fingers, the transfer window is getting closer to closing for the year.
It’s an intriguing picture, but for many teams with huge voids that haven’t been filled by a thrilling new addition, it’s a reality. This Tuesday morning, we’ve brought you the most recent transfer rumors, starting with Old Trafford, where a fifth summer acquisition is becoming closer every day.
Fabrizio Romano told GiveMeSport that Manchester United is “moving fast” to recruit Senne Lammens, the goalkeeper for Royal Antwerp. After a summer of speculation about United’s goalkeeping future, the transfer expert claims that an agreement has already been reached with the 23-year-old, who is expected to be brought in to compete alongside Andre Onana.
According to the article, talks have centered on a package worth £17 million, but Antwerp is seeking €25 million (£22 million) to complete the transaction. Before the deadline day, all parties “anticipate an agreement.”
The 3AM verdict: This appears to be a smart move for United, though we are not sure why a deal has taken this long. Lammens can be brought in with the view to becoming the Red Devils’ No.1 for years to come but, should he take some time to adapt, having Onana around would mean the pressure is not quite as high. Potentially, the intention could be to part ways with the Cameroon international next summer after giving him a final chance to earn his place in the starting XI.
Tottenham submit mammoth £73m offer for Man City star
According to GiveMeSport, Tottenham Hotspur has made an updated offer of £73 million for Manchester City winger Savinho, as Thomas Frank’s team is still committed to bolstering their offensive capabilities before the transfer window closes.
According to the rumor, Fichajes in Spain claims that Spurs, who recently lost out on Eberechi Eze, have made the club-record deal. Spurs may feel that their only choice is to make City an offer they can’t turn down. Although Pep Guardiola has stated that he does not wish to let go of the 21-year-old Brazil international, a better offer might force City to seek elsewhere, possibly putting them in a position to make a big move for Rodrygo as a replacement.
The 3AM verdict: For a player who only managed one Premier League goal the previous season, the fee seems a bit high. Sadly for Spurs, this conveys a sense of desperation after their move for Eze was hijacked.
They would likely be better off raising their bid a bit to about £78 million for Rodrygo himself, since is it really a good idea to give City the opportunity to sign him? Nevertheless, we believe that this Savinho story will undoubtedly continue to evolve.
Newcastle turmoil continues as £50m striker bid rejected
Newcastle United’s summer transfer woes are apparently still going strong, as Wolves turn down a £50 million offer for attacker Jorgen Strand Larsen, according to Caught Offside.
Newcastle is looking for two strikers to take Callum Wilson’s place, as well as Alexander Isak, who is known for his ability to make a statement. If the team is unable to bring in even one striker, much alone two, it will be in a very tough position come September.
Strand Larsen, who scored 14 goals while on loan from Celta Vigo last season and has now joined Wolves permanently, has been made clear that he will not be sold this summer under any circumstances. Despite this, Newcastle might yet make a better offer when they return.
Strand Larsen is a capable player who has demonstrated his capacity to score goals in the Premier League, but Newcastle would be better off spending their time elsewhere, according to the 3AM decision. Wolves might as well sign a relegation contract if they parted ways with their main center-forward at this point in the transfer window, considering they have already sold their two finest players this summer.
Furthermore, Strand Larsen would become the most expensive Norwegian football player ever if the Magpies increased their proposal by at least £3 million. which, when Erling Haaland is playing in the Premier League, does not exactly sit well with us. Admittedly, there aren’t many striking options available anymore, but this one seems to be a dead end.
