It's very interesting that the news continues to grow as the transfer window draws near. Regarding Mount, like Erik Ten Hag's interest in him, with a fairly large price tag, it will probably continue to be a top priority because it seems that Man United wants more player options as a backup squad.
Yeah with the squad United has right now, it seems hard for Mount to be a regular player for them. Maybe ten Haag has some other plans as Mount is not a type of player to be put down on bench. He can really be useful in midfield.
Actually, Kovacic is still quite ideal at Chelsea, but Chelsea clearance process is very simple, namely removing a number of players to pave the way for new players that are being targeted by Pochettino. first. What Manchester City wants for the midfield player remains the same in order to consider more replacement options.
I always felt Kovacic as crucial figure in crucial midfield but it seems that they want to restructure now. Lot of changes are gonna happen at Chelsea so I think they would take a bit more time to find their right form in the league. It's a very tough time for a club when lot of changes go all at the same time.
- Arsenal are keen on Declan Rice [4] and are planning to open talks after the Conference League Final (which is about 6-7 days).
Apart from Arsenal who are interested in Declan Rice, it turns out that Bayern Munich also did not miss the opportunity where, based on local news, Declan wanted to try a new challenge outside the Premier League, so Bayern Munich made an offer to him. However, these rumors have not been fully confirmed by Declan, after the match against Fiorentina in the Conference League he said he still wants to focus on helping Westham until his contract actually expires in 2024.
Bayern are also reported to be interested- Yes, but I expect Declan Rice to choose an English club rather than settling for a club out of England. It's what I feel like so I could be wrong also. There will be some interesting developments further after Conference League final and I am sure there will be more besides Bayern, Arsenal in Declan Rice's race.
Also Arsenal are monitoring James Maddison also from relegated Leicester. It is also another interesting name to look onto in this upcoming transfer window.
