Football transfer rumours: Napoli and Roma keen on Brighton’s Matt O’Riley?
Today’s whispers are being squeezed out
The question of who will lead the Manchester United forward line remains uncertain. Ruben Amorim has been blunt in his assessment of Rasmus Højlund, despite the player’s desire to stay. United could offer the striker to RB Leipzig and plan a separate deal for the Bundesliga club’s Benjamin Sesko, who would cost at least £55m. All aboard the merry-go-round.
Jadon Sancho could be on his way back to Borussia Dortmund, where he spent the second half of the 2023-24 season on loan. The 25-year-old winger clearly enjoyed his second spell with the club and is said to be pushing for a permanent move after being left out of United’s pre-season tour. The Englishman, who joined United in a £73m deal from Dortmund in 2021, has reportedly agreed to a 50% pay cut to make the move happen. Chelsea are rumoured to be preparing a bid for another outcast, Alejandro Garnacho, before the transfer window closes.

Manchester United have completed their first signing of this summer’s Women’s Super League transfer window, bolstering their midfield with the addition of the Sweden international Julia Zigiotti Olme from the German champions Bayern Munich.
The defensive midfielder was one of Sweden’s top performers at Euro 2025, starting three of four matches, including their quarter-final against England, where she was one of only two of Sweden’s seven takers to successfully convert her penalty in the dramatic shootout.

Players can still live the dream in League Two. It’s a strange one, but a dream all the same
I am staring at a video posted on X by my beloved Cambridge United. Their stuff is pretty good. It’s four days until our League Two campaign begins at home to Cheltenham. “Striker, Acquired” it reads, the video showing a man with a neat beard in baggy jeans wearing the new home shirt. The music is the kind that if it was played too loudly in a confined space, I would instantly get a migraine. OK, these things aren’t aimed at me.
The man does some keepie-uppies in bright white trainers. He has an endearing smile. He side-foots a few, points at the camera, leans against a post, rests a ball against his right hip and then smashes a penalty into the roof of the net. Our new saviour is here. The man to score the goals to get us back into League One at the first attempt.
