Manchester United have not made a final decision on Marcus Rashford's future, with reports indicating the club aims to resolve the situation before their pre-season training camp in Dublin. The 28-year-old forward remains under evaluation, though plans exist to reintegrate him into Michael Carrick's squad should no transfer materialise.
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are leading the chase for RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa, a 21-year-old Norway international valued at £51m. Five Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in Nusa, who is open to a new challenge following the World Cup.
Barcelona are monitoring Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi, a 20-year-old French forward, amid competition from Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Tottenham. The Spanish club is also pursuing Colorado Rapids defender Lucas Herrington, an 18-year-old Australia international, after his standout World Cup performances. Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool are also interested in Herrington, with Colorado willing to allow a transfer that includes a loan-back arrangement.
Juventus have agreed personal terms with Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez but are negotiating the transfer fee, as Villa demand €10m. Barcelona and several Premier League clubs are also tracking Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, an 18-year-old Morocco international whose performances at the World Cup have boosted his profile.
Chelsea are considering Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović if they restructure their attack this window. Real Madrid manager José Mourinho is assessing defensive options, with Arsenal's Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapié, and Manchester City's Rúben Dias on his shortlist. Former Liverpool midfielder Fabinho, 32, is open to reuniting with Mourinho at Real Madrid after leaving Al-Ittihad.
Rashford remains at the centre of a transfer limbo despite being 28 and entering pre-season without clarity. His potential reintegration into Carrick's squad suggests United have no definitive plan, not even as a contingency. No Nigerian or African player featured in the reported transfers.
