Transfer News Update: Premier League Clubs Eye Key Signings
Manchester United is making significant progress in their pursuit of Matheus Cunha, a 25-year-old striker from Wolves. The club is expected to trigger his release clause, priced at £62.5 million.
In a related move, United has been monitoring Diogo Costa, the 25-year-old goalkeeper for Porto and the Portugal national team. The club is searching for a potential replacement for Andre Onana, 29, who has drawn interest from Manchester City as well. Costa’s release clause sits at approximately £64.3 million (€75 million).
Arsenal has initiated discussions to acquire Viktor Gyokeres, a 26-year-old striker from Sporting CP in Portugal. With the summer transfer window underway, the Gunners are keen to enhance their attacking options early on.
Another target for Arsenal is Nico Williams, a 22-year-old winger from Athletic Bilbao. The club views him as a crucial addition, although Williams himself is contemplating whether to leave his current club this summer.
In a separate development, Manchester City midfielder Nico O’Reilly, 20, appears set to sign a new contract with the club. This comes after Chelsea expressed interest in the England Under-20 international.

Further complicating matters, Manchester City and Portugal’s Bernardo Silva, 30, is reportedly on Barcelona’s radar again, as the Catalan club looks to secure his services this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur is contemplating a summer bid of £30 million for Chelsea and Portugal midfielder Renato Veiga, 21, as they seek to strengthen their midfield options.
Both Tottenham and Manchester City are reportedly interested in Lazio’s Mario Gila, a 24-year-old centre-back. This duo will face stiff competition from major clubs like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich for Gila’s signature.
Manchester United is anticipating multiple loan offers from Championship clubs for Harry Amass, an 18-year-old right-back who has represented the England Under-18s.
Aston Villa is considering a significant sale of England striker Ollie Watkins, 29, with a potential asking price between £50-60 million. Simultaneously, the club is eyeing a permanent deal for Marcus Rashford, 27, currently on loan from Manchester United.
Lastly, Bayer Leverkusen has indicated that they will not obstruct Xabi Alonso’s potential move to become the manager of Real Madrid this summer if he chooses to accept the offer.
