Manchester City are on the verge of finalizing a deal to acquire Timeo Whisker from Cardiff City, as reported by The Athletic.
Despite interest from several Premier League clubs in the 15-year-old sensation, City is poised to add him to their already impressive academy setup.
Meanwhile, Manchester United is facing a significant financial loss on Jadon Sancho this summer.
The Red Devils are reportedly willing to take a £38 million hit by selling Sancho back to Borussia Dortmund permanently.
Sancho’s arrival at Old Trafford in 2021 was anticipated to mark a new era, but his underwhelming performances and disciplinary issues have led to him being sidelined by manager Erik ten Hag.
A bid of approximately £35 million is expected to be accepted for the 23-year-old winger, who recently scored for Dortmund as they progressed to the Champions League quarter-finals.
In other transfer news, Arsenal is rumored to be willing to pay £89 million to secure the services of Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon.
The Swedish international joined Sporting last summer from Coventry City for around £25 million and has continued his impressive goal-scoring form, tallying 33 goals across all competitions this season.
Mikel Arteta is reportedly keen on bolstering Arsenal’s attacking options, and Gyokeres is said to be a prime target.
Known for his versatility, the 25-year-old can operate as both a wide forward and a traditional striker.
Overall, these transfer developments highlight the ongoing efforts of top clubs to strengthen their squads ahead of the upcoming seasons, with promising young talents and established stars alike being sought after to enhance team performances.
