In preparation for the Premier League season, Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea are keeping an eye on a number of talents to bolster their rosters.

The most recent transfer news on Thursday, July 20 comes from the Premier League and other countries.

United raise the bar

According to reports from Italy, Manchester United has “sped up” their interest in Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat.

If a suitor matches the club’s asking price, the World Cup star from Morocco is expected to leave the Serie A club this summer.

Although the 26-year-old’s future is uncertain at the moment, a transfer to United would be a shock given his outstanding displays for La Viola in Europe last season.

The representative for Amrabat has flown to Florence to escalate the situation with the club regarding his client’s future. Additionally, Liverpool has reportedly expressed interest in hiring him.

Nordin, Amrabat’s brother, stated last month that a top-10 club in the globe with a respectable history would be realistic regarding his sibling’s future.

“After the World Cup, I can say with confidence that he is prepared. He is a top candidate for Barcelona, but you are aware of Barca’s financial difficulties.

Amrabat is valued at £26 million by Fiorentina.

Liverpool’s stated desire for Doucoure

Liverpool reportedly has “concrete interest” in Cheick Doucoure, according to The Daily Mail, but they will have to shell out £70 million to get him.

Jurgen Klopp’s top goal right now will be to replace Jordan Henderson and Fabinho in the engine room because they are expected to leave Anfield this summer and because bids from the Middle East are on the table.

Romeo Lavia, a Southampton player who carries a £50 million price tag, has been referenced in reports.

In order to split ways with Mali international Doucoure, who only joined the club last summer for a fee of £18 million from Lens, the Eagles will expect much more money.

The 23-year-old is aware of the Reds’ interest, according to The Mail, and Liverpool are now “calculating the cost” of signing him.

According to Sky Sports, the Reds have six players on their shortlist right now: United target Amrabat, Joao Palhinha, Romeo Lavia, Doucoure, Ryan Gravenberch, and Kalvin Phillips.

Guehi is wanted by Chelsea once more.

Following the significant knee injury sustained by Chelsea’s center-back Wesley Fofana, the Blues are trying to re-sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace.

Guehi successfully completed a loan at Swansea City under Steve Cooper before permanently leaving Stamford Bridge in 2021 and relocating to south London.

The defender has performed admirably at Selhurst Park, earning an England call-up. Arsenal and Tottenham are also interested in him.

According to the Guardian, Palace paid £18 million to sign the 23-year-old and will likely demand a sizable sum from the residents of west London in order to wrest him away from the Eagles.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will also be allowed to leave Chelsea on a free transfer to join French club Marseille.

Rooney assesses the Arsenal windowWayne Rooney claims he approves of the signings Arsenal has made so far and predicts they will put more pressure on Manchester City the following year.

The Gunners led the Premier League for the entirety of the previous season, but City won it in the last minutes. However, the Londoners haven’t been idle; they’ve already signed Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber, with more to come.

And Rooney, who led the MLS All Stars in this week’s match against Arsenal, thinks they’ve established a “strong platform” to contend once more.

Rooney remarked, “I believe it will be very difficult for anyone to beat Manchester City, but I genuinely like the players Arsenal has signed.

“I believe they have acquired some pretty good players who also have experience.

“When you look at the guys that Arsenal has acquired and signed, they have really created a solid foundation for them to attempt and perform better than they did last season, and I think they will.

“They have a really good coach in Mikel Arteta, and I believe the new additions will aid them in trying to avoid doing what they did last season, which was to disintegrate toward the end of the campaign.”
