Today’s Top Transfer News

Newcastle is showing significant interest in Wolves’ 25-year-old Norwegian forward, Jørgen Strand Larsen, as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak if he departs this summer. Strand Larsen recently joined Wolves on a permanent deal after an impressive loan spell, during which he netted 14 goals in the Premier League last season.

Two leading clubs from the Saudi Pro League are reportedly keen on acquiring winger Antony from Manchester United this summer. A return to Real Betis, where the 25-year-old Brazilian spent the previous season on loan, appears unlikely due to the player’s salary expectations.

Manchester City has made a renewed offer for Newcastle full-back Tino Livramento, reportedly ready to exceed €57 million for the 22-year-old England international.
