Manchester United are now confident of securing a deal to sign a new midfielder in the summer transfer window, and he could be a better option for Michael Carrick than Ederson.

The Red Devils have been working on bringing in at least one new midfielder in the summer as they prepare for the 2026-2027 season in Europe.

Signing at least one midfielder is likely to be a major priority, and they’ve already been linked with a host of players before the window has even opened.

United fans will likely be looking forward to this window approaching, given they are likely to bring in a host of new additions.

The Red Devils need more Champions League-level players in the squad if they are going to compete on all fronts next season.

Man Utd Have Strong Chance of Signing Midfielder

According to a report from Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, there is a good chance Manchester United will secure the signing of Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali in the summer transfer window.

It’s claimed that there’s a gentleman’s agreement with Newcastle that Tonali can leave the club should they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

The Magpies are finished in the bottom half, so a departure for Tonali is on the cards in the summer.

Di Marzio suggests that Newcastle could demand in the region of £86m to allow him to leave the club, and United appear to be relatively happy to pay that sort of figure for a new midfielder.

Tonali Better Than Ederson

If there is a choice between signing Sandro Tonali or Atalanta midfielder Ederson, United need to bring in Tonali in the summer transfer window.

Tonali, described as ‘one of the best CMs in the world’, already has plenty of Premier League experience, and he’s shown that he’s capable of playing at the highest level, including in the Champions League.

Ederson could be a smart addition for United, but there’s no doubt Tonali is on another level than the Brazilian midfielder.

Tonali would be a game-changing addition for the Red Devils, even if they have to pay a huge fee to bring him to the club later this year.

Tottenham are now set to secure their first signing of the summer after their place in next season’s Premier League was confirmed.

The work starts now for Roberto De Zerbi, and Tottenham as they look to head back in the right direction after a dismal few years.

The summer transfer window is the opportunity for them to rebuild and go again, as they can’t afford to be battling for relegation anymore.

A host of players are likely to leave the club, but that also means they will bring in a load of new additions.

It could be one of Tottenham’s busiest windows in their recent history, as many players will be wanting to leave due to a lack of European football.

Spurs will also need to strengthen after such a poor run, so we could see a number of incomings and outgoings this summer.

Tottenham to Secure First Summer Signing

According to GIVEMESPORT correspondent Ben Jacobs, Liverpool defender Andy Robertson is set to join Tottenham now their Premier League status is secure.

Robertson, described as ‘elite’, is set to be a free agent, with his contract at Liverpool expiring.

The Scottish international said goodbye to Liverpool fans at Anfield on Sunday, with him and Mohamed Salah both leaving the club.

Tottenham looked to secure Robertson earlier in the year, but with Spurs battling to stay in the Premier League, a deal wasn’t guaranteed.

Strong Start to Window for Tottenham

Securing the signature of Robertson on a free transfer is a strong start to the summer transfer window for Tottenham.

The Scottish left-back will bring plenty of Premier League experience to the club and a winning mentality after securing a host of trophies during his time at Anfield.

Although he is coming to the end of his career, there is no doubt he can still offer something in the Premier League, both on and off the pitch.

Tottenham certainly can’t stop there, though, as they need to bring in a host of players all over the pitch in order to head back in the right direction.

Tottenham are preparing for life after Cristian Romero, as TeamTalk has reported that the club are making moves behind the scenes to help facilitate an exit.

The centre-back has been with the North London club since 2022, growing into an important presence in the backline in the four years he has spent there.

The 28-year-old has made over 150 appearances for Spurs, in which he became club captain and led the team to Europa League glory last year.

However, frustrations have grown with Romero, as Tottenham’s scare with Premier League relegation has only highlighted concerns with the Argentina international.

Even with survival confirmed, it appears as though the club captain is now set for an exit, with clubs circling a possible deal.

Tottenham Ready To Sell Cristian Romero

Romero’s potential exit comes as little surprise, but TeamTalk reports that Tottenham are actively making moves to help push through a deal this summer.

It’s claimed that Spurs have instructed intermediaries to complete a move, with the relationship internally between the club and player described as “strained” after recent weeks.

That comes after controversy behind the scenes between Romero and Tottenham, after reports claimed he would be in Argentina over the weekend to watch his boyhood club Belgrano take on River Plate in an important fixture, with the title on the line.

However, the defender made a return to England and was present for his club’s final match of the season against Everton, which saw the Lilywhites avoid relegation in tense circumstances.

Romero’s possible exit comes despite the importance that Roberto De Zerbi outlined for the centre-back when he initially took the job at Tottenham.

Speaking to NBC Sports in April, the Spurs manager said: “I think Cuti is crucial for us, crucial for Tottenham as a club. He is the captain, he is maybe the most important player in our squad, and to achieve our goal, we need the best of Romero.”

Atletico Madrid have been described as the most likely destination, while Barcelona have also been linked with a switch for the star.

Tottenham Need Defensive Reinforcements

While Romero looks set to make an exit this summer, he may not be the only Tottenham star from the backline who could leave the club.

Micky van de Ven is a defender in-demand, having been linked with a move to Liverpool and Manchester United, while Radu Dragusin is another player who could leave.

That means reinforcements are needed, with Marcos Senesi set to join Tottenham as the first signing of the summer after agreeing a deal so long as relegation was avoided.

With no European football, there is less need to sign quite as many options for depth, but another starting defender would be needed to bolster the team.

It remains to be seen who will be in contention, with clear upgrades needed across the squad.
