Raphinha
If Dembele is poised to quit Barcelona, it makes sense that the club now seem to be stepping up efforts to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha as his replacement.
According to Sport, Barcelona director Mateu Alemany is on his way for a meeting to discuss the deal, so we could see major developments soon.
Most transfer gossip suggests it’s only rally the Catalan giants pursuing Raphinha strongly, so unless we see a late twist here this one is surely only a matter of time.
Gabriel Jesus
This one has been doing the rounds for a while, and now Football Insider claim that Gabriel Jesus has agreed terms with Arsenal.
The Manchester City striker looks ideal for the Gunners’ needs, and this sounds like a major step towards getting the move done.
There’s also this little teaser from Gabriel Martinelli yesterday…
Darwin Nunez
Dean Jones is tipping Darwin Nunez to be closing in on a move to Manchester United, telling Give Me Sport: “One source described this deal to United to me as being ‘extremely close’. They consider Atletico Madrid as their main rivals to sign him, from what I hear, but obviously, loads around Europe are looking. If Darwin does move to Old Trafford, it will be a brilliant signing for the Ten Hag era.”
The Benfica striker is certainly an exciting talent and it would be some statement if MUFC could beat other top clubs to his signature even when they can’t offer him Champions League football next season.
