Transfer Rumours Summer 2026 Transfer Window

[Forpadydeplasterer]

I wonder with 48 nations in the World Cup, thst an awful of potential players.

I suppose any Italians, Welsh or Irish?? Will be the only ones free for medicals etc

Wouldn't be surprised to see us swerve the world cup completely. Personally think we'll target players who just missed out on squads (France, Argentina, Spain etc)

We like to get value for money and they won't be much value kicking around at the world cup imo

I reckon we need at least another 'fox in the box' striker to complement the existing players. More if any of them leave.

We seem to have lots of wingers..but their quality?

Midfield and defence need back-up cover

That’ll explain why Spurs are making a move for wor sandrer so early then.

At least Ghisolfi has a sense of humour

@RokerReport
@JeffAB61: “might we see Kylian Mbappe at the club next season?!”

Ghisolfi: “Hmm… I’ll have to check his mentality first!”

From Alan Nixon's patron

Huddersfield Town are planning to sign new keeper Matt Young from Sunderland.

The Terriers were impressed by top prospect Young on loan at Salford last season and is ready for League One.

Sunderland are vetting clubs for Young but insiders claim that Huddersfield will get the nod.

 

[Lord_Rowell]

Be a good move for Young that

 

[Brainy Dose]

Will this be a loan?

 

[Essayyeffcee]

Will this be a loan?

I would think so. He's just signed a new long term contract and it seems he's highly regarded at the club

 

[Nads]

Yeah no way we sell Matty.

IIRC Steve Bruce brought in a couple of South Americans following their participation in a World Cup.. didn't work out very well.

Although, this Kane or Mbppe might be worth a punt?

 

[Nads]

Quite like the look of that Doue kid for France as well.

 

[Lord_Rowell]

Will this be a loan?

Yeah. He is talked about as the best keeper thats ever come through the academy. Now bearing in mind England's current number one did thats some accolade

 

[Teessidemackem]

Will this be a loan?

Absolutely he's regarded very highly and recently signed a new contract. He'll be in the first team squad in a couple of years

Ayyoub Bouaddi for Morocco looks really good, although Arsenal and Liverpool are linked with him now

Attention around Parma’s Mariano Troilo is growing, with Fulham and Sunderland battling for his signature.

The centre-back joined the Italian club from Belgrano in 2025. After a slow start, the Argentine grew in stature and played 21 times in Serie A. He started each of the club’s last seven league games, helping them swerve relegation.

The defender made sure that Parma never felt Giovanni Leoni’s absence. He replicated the Italian’s impact, after he departed for Liverpool last summer.

Sport Witness have covered how Troilo himself is attracting attention from clubs, with Brentford appearing keen. There are signs a move to Fulham or Sunderland can go through this summer.

Parma’s valuation clear

ParmaLive note Troilo’s second half of the season specifically attracted interest from multiple clubs.

Fulham and Sunderland are ‘ready to invest’ in his signing and have been left impressed by his skillset. They are leading the race for the 22-year-old, with Parma said to be confident about the player’s potential.

Ideally, they wouldn’t be keen on selling him. However, the realities of Italian football mean that they’s accept €30m, which could potentially come down further.

Fulham and Sunderland ‘ready to invest’ in centre-back - Around €30m will prove convincing

Munoz had a liverpool medical in the us while on spain duty

Fair point... but if i was Spain's manager I wouldn't want players being distracted?

 

[BackO'TheNet]

Sorry guys.....

I've missed our retained list....etc

Yes he did. Difference now, as we all know, is that the club do a lot of background stuff to make sure the signings will fit in.
It wasn’t Bruce, but anyone remember Scocco? A great player by all accounts but it was clear he never wanted to be at SAFC right from the beginning.

Abit like Angeleri another Argentinian that signed with high hopes

I honestly thought he would come good. Shows I know nowt. Looking back, we were just starting our descent into crapdom. I hate saying this, but SNQ has to shoulder some of the responsibility for that.
