1. Manchester United Baleba
Manchester United have officially signed Carlos Baleba from Brighton, with the club announcing the move on its website. The transfer is being discussed at roughly £65 million up front plus £5 million in add-ons, a steep fall from the £100 million asking price linked to him last summer.
Nottingham Forest have agreed a club-record fee to sign Liam Delap from Chelsea, with the package discussed as £45 million plus another £5 million in add-ons. According to The Athletic, the move gives Forest a young striker after a difficult season in which Delap scored once.
Aston Villa have opened talks with Chelsea over a club-record £65 million move for Nicolas Jackson, with an offer expected to be £50 million plus £15 million in add-ons. According to the Telegraph report, the proposed transfer would give Villa a new striker after Ollie Watkins’s unexpected departure and reunite Jackson with Unai Emery, who previously coached him at Villarreal.
Celtic have reached the Europa League league phase after a chaotic qualifying tie that turned a commanding position into a full-scale collapse. UEFA’s official match page confirms the advancement, while the discussion describes Celtic holding a 4-0 lead with an hour remaining and then conceding five, with a penalty save providing only a brief lifeline.
