Summer 26 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[Dante Lavelli]

As magnificent as Emi is and has been unless he restructured his deal (as some others have done) then we need to move on from him. Take the £20m or so and reinvest that in other areas. There are other excellent keepers out there but none or very few will the presence of Emi. We will lose that. Getting in a Rashford, mind you, gives it back to us in another area of the pitch.

Trafford is the obvious player looking to move.

At some point Emi's wages will be an issue.  Right now, his performances and presence justify the £200k but I doubt he can maintain this level to the end of his contract.  Therefore, if someone did offer £20m (Bayern is my guess) then we must take it (sadly) and also cap the new signing's wages at £100k.

[Mister E]

Martinez and Konsa will move on in the summer, I think. Mings, Bailey and possibly Digne will go too. Rebuild time.
