The summer football transfer window in 2023 is causing a lot of excitement. Players are moving to different teams, and fans are happy about it. People are excited because their favorite teams are getting new players, which makes them feel really happy. But among all the transfers, one update is getting a lot of attention and making people very excited. Liverpool has surprisingly secured an alleged €18 million deal for Japanese defensive midfielder Wataru Endo from Stuttgart. The transfer is pending a medical. Despite missing out on other signings to Chelsea, Liverpool is confident about Endo’s smooth transition due to his agreement on personal terms and the potential career boost. The move was driven by Liverpool’s new sporting director, Jörg Schmadtke, aiming to fill gaps left by Fabinho and Jordan Henderson. Adding Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister has also bolstered Liverpool’s midfield.

Barcelona plans to propose a loan deal for Manchester City’s full-back Joao Cancelo to reinforce their right-side defense. With Sergino Dest not fitting and Sergi Roberto preferred, Cancelo is sought as an alternative, with a formal loan offer including a buy option in consideration. Manchester United has joined the race to acquire Ryan Gravenberch for midfield strengthening, alongside their pursuit of Sofyan Amrabat. Gravenberch, struggling at Bayern Munich since his Ajax transfer, has piqued United’s interest, with Liverpool also keen. Aspiring for a strong UEFA Champions League squad, Manchester United seeks to enhance their midfield options, including Gravenberch.

Inter Milan bid for Benjamin Pavard

Inter Milan has made a reported bid of €25 million for Bayern Munich’s Benjamin Pavard, hoping to outshine Manchester United and Arsenal in the race for the French defender. Pavard, 27, has signaled his intent to leave Bayern and explore a new league, whether in Italy or the Premier League. With his contract ending next season, Bayern may accept an offer higher than Inter’s. Manchester United’s interest persists, but financial constraints from an unsold Harry Maguire have posed challenges. Arsenal, prompted by Jurrien Timber’s injury, is considering defensive reinforcements. Despite speculation, Bayern’s manager Thomas Tuchel affirmed that Pavard hasn’t conveyed a desire to leave, maintaining full support for the player.

Tyler Adams set to undergo Bournemouth medical

Tyler Adams is reportedly undergoing a medical for a transfer from Leeds to Bournemouth, as per the latest reports. Following Leeds’ relegation to the Championship, the US international has expressed a desire to remain in the Premier League. While Chelsea and Liverpool also showed interest, Bournemouth seems to have secured the deal. The medical is said to be taking place at the Vitality Stadium on the south coast. With Leeds’ relegation, Adams’ reported £20 million release clause came into effect. Despite being plagued by injuries, he featured in 26 games for Leeds in the Premier League. Although there were issues with his release clause’s validity, Bournemouth is progressing with the transfer. Adams had a failed transfer attempt to Chelsea earlier this month.

Bayern Munich closing in on Daniel Peretz

Latest reports reveals that the transfer fee for Daniel Peretz to Bayern Munich is anticipated to range between €6-7 million. The 23-year-old Maccabi Tel Aviv goalkeeper is poised to join the team and vie for the starting role alongside Ulreich while Neuer is indisposed. Latest reports suggests that Bayern has established a “total verbal agreement” with Peretz, and the deal is in the conclusive stages. The offer reportedly encompasses a base of €2 million with supplementary performance-based incentives. Peretz’s acquisition is geared towards providing backup and future depth, particularly supporting Sven Ulreich. This move might reflect confidence in Neuer’s rehabilitation or City’s retention of Stefan Ortega.
