The current summer transfer window of 2023 has been an exhilarating time for football enthusiasts all over the globe. Each day brings exciting updates on new players joining teams and others leaving, sparking a range of emotions among supporters – from happiness to sorrow. One particular recent piece of news that has garnered significant attention among fans is that Al-Hilal is reportedly keen on securing Kylian Mbappe for a season in the Saudi Pro League, adding to the uncertainty surrounding his potential departure from PSG. Saudi Arabia’s ambition to attract top football talent is evident, with high-profile players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Ngolo Kante, and Karim Benzema already joining Saudi clubs. PSG has allegedly informed Al-Hilal that they would consider a reported 200 million euros bid if Mbappe doesn’t extend his contract by July 31st.
Meanwhile, Manchester United has expressed interest in Danish talent Rasmus Hojlund, but negotiations on the transfer fee are ongoing. Atalanta’s manager valued Hojlund at a reported 100 million dollars, highlighting the player’s promising performances, including 10 goals and 4 assists in 34 appearances. On a different note, Emre Can has committed to a two-year contract extension with Borussia Dortmund until June 2026. His invaluable contributions in the team’s title challenge last season, along with his vast experience and determination, make him a crucial asset for Dortmund’s upcoming campaign.
Manchester United has confirmed the transfer of Alex Telles to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. The Brazilian defender joined United from Porto in October 2020 and made a total of 50 appearances for the club over two seasons. However, he was not in the plans of manager Erik ten Hag for the 2022-2023 season, leading to a loan spell at Sevilla. Telles impressed during his time at Sevilla, featuring in 38 matches, including 27 La Liga appearances. Now, the left-back has made a permanent move to Al-Nassr, starting a new chapter in his career away from Old Trafford.
Everton has signed Arnaut Danjuma on a season-long loan from Villarreal. The Dutch international previously had a loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur in the 2022-23 season, scoring two goals in 12 appearances. Tottenham chose not to make the move permanent, but Danjuma is now back in the Premier League with Everton for the 2023-24 season. Before his time at Tottenham, he enjoyed a successful stint at Bournemouth from 2019 to 2021, recording 17 goals and eight assists in 52 appearances. Now, Everton has secured his services, adding more firepower to their squad.
Newcastle United has completed the signing of winger Harvey Barnes from Leicester City. The 25-year-old has penned a five-year contract until June 2028, joining the Magpies for an reported fee around £39 million. This makes Barnes the third addition to Eddie Howe’s squad in the summer transfer window, following Yankuba Minteh, a young forward, and Sandro Tonali, an Italian international. Speaking about his move to St James’ Park, Barnes expressed his delight, describing it as an incredible opportunity to be part of an exciting and successful team. He looks forward to contributing to Newcastle United and making the most of this new chapter in his career.
