Manchester United are preparing a £130m double swoop for West Ham's Crysencio Summerville and Mateus Fernandes, but face competition from Real Madrid for the latter. The Old Trafford club are determined to bolster their midfield this summer, with the Hammers' asking price for the pair likely to be met — though Real Madrid are also in the hunt for Fernandes, threatening to hijack the deal.
Meanwhile, Sandro Tonali's future at Newcastle appears to be over. The Magpies have placed a £100m valuation on the 26-year-old Italian, who is attracting interest from Tottenham. The Times reports that Spurs have entered the race for the midfielder, who could leave St James' Park this summer. Tonali's preferred destination has not been disclosed, but Tottenham are pushing hard under manager Roberto De Zerbi, who is backed by the club's owners.
“Manchester United target £130m double deal for West Ham's Summerville and Fernandes; Tonali set to leave Newcastle with Tottenham interested.”
Elsewhere, Chelsea are exploring a move for Real Madrid left-back Alvaro Carreras. Spanish outlet AS claims the Blues have placed the defender on their shortlist, and Madrid are not completely against selling him this summer. Carreras himself remains uncertain about his future ahead of the new season.
Arsenal have agreed terms with a Roma star, though the player's identity has not yet been confirmed. Manchester United have also made their stance clear on Marcus Rashford's future, with details of his release clause reportedly leaked. Manchester City have joined the race to sign Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, adding another twist to the summer window.
With the World Cup already underway, the transfer market is gathering momentum. United's double bid for Summerville and Fernandes could reshape their midfield, but Real Madrid's interest in Fernandes means the deal is far from done. Tonali's departure from Newcastle seems inevitable, but whether he joins Tottenham or another club remains to be seen.
