Globally all football lovers are constantly checking the transfer news every minute as they want to know who their club signed and who they are releasing. We will take a look at the various clubs chasing players to add to their teams as the season is about to start. The likes of Hojlund, Mbappe, Amrabat, Martinez, Gallagher, Kolo Muani, Kudus, and Kane are all available in the transfer market.
Manchester United are still looking at how they will bring in a striker before the start of the season and their major target is Atalanta star Rasmus Hojlund. The Atalanta striker who is just 20 years old has attracted the attention of some European clubs like Manchester United and Paris St-Germain but the Denmark striker Rasmus Hojlund prefers the English Premier League. It is reported that Manchester United is not willing to pay more than £60m for Hojlund, but Atalanta wants £86m.
He is not the only player in the Italian Serie A United is going for as they are also looking at signing Fiorentina’s Morocco midfielder Sofyan Amrabat. Manchester United are looking at Eintracht Frankfurt’s 24-year-old France striker Randal Kolo Muani, while manager Erik ten Hag is also interested in Ajax’s 22-year-old Ghana forward Mohammed Kudus, who has been linked with Chelsea.
Ten Hag is open to offers for several fringe Manchester United players with funds needed to launch a move for a marquee striker. Ten Hag is looking to reinforce Manchester United’s backup goalkeeping options with the signing of Fenerbahce’s 25-year-old Turkey international Altay Bayindir.

West Ham have offered Southampton £25m for 28-year-old England midfielder James Ward-Prowse. They have also bid £40m for Chelsea’s 23-year-old England midfielder Conor Gallagher.
Chelsea’s attempts to sign Ecuador midfielder Moises Caicedo, 21, from Brighton have stalled over the Seagulls’ demand for 20-year-old defender Levi Colwill to be included in the deal. Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham will be part of a bid for the hottest player in the transfer window currently France striker Kylian Mbappe. Paris St-Germain received a world record £259m bid from Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal.
Tottenham and Nottingham Forest have approached Juventus over 23-year-old Italian defender Andrea Cambiaso.
Everton are closing in on Almeria’s Mali striker El Bilal Toure, 21, despite competition from Atalanta.
Al-Hilal plan to offer Mbappe a net salary worth 200m euros (£172m) a year while allowing him to keep 100% of his image rights. If Mbappe joins Al-Hilal it could only be for a year, with PSG convinced that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and the player have an agreement in place for him to move to La Liga next year.
If Mbappe moves to Saudi Arabia, PSG will meet Tottenham’s £100m valuation for 29-year-old striker Harry Kane, although Bayern Munich are still confident the England captain will choose them.
Al-Hilal is also close to signing Fulham’s 28-year-old Serbia striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.
