Football transfer news August 18: Man United ends relationship, Hojlund forced to leave

VHO - Update the exciting developments of the transfer market during the day with the most notable information.

Liverpool prepare to say goodbye to a player

According to Sky Sports, Liverpool are urgently looking for a new destination for Kostas Tsimikas. The Greek international is no longer in coach Arne Slot's personnel plan because the left-back position is occupied by rookie Milos Kerkez and veteran Andy Robertson.

Currently, in addition to Nottingham Forest, a number of Spanish and Italian teams are also interested in the 29-year-old player. The Anfield team will listen to reasonable offers, including a loan contract. Tsimikas is currently valued at less than 20 million euros.

Man United remove Hojund from the match list.

Man United broke up, Hojlund was forced to leave

According to The Athletic, Rasmus Hojlund has been removed from Man United's squad for the Premier League match against Arsenal in round 1. The message from the Red Devils seems to confirm that the Danish striker's future at Old Trafford is over.

Previously, in the pre-season friendly match with Fiorentina, Hojlund was only on the bench and was not given a chance to play. Man United has just brought in Benjamin Sesko, so the possibility of the 22-year-old striker staying is even lower.

Man United currently prefer to sell Hojlund outright, instead of accepting AC Milan's loan offer. The Red Devils are ready to sit down at the negotiating table if they receive around 45 million euros.

Hojlund joined MU from Atalanta in 2023 for a total fee that could reach 85 million euros, scoring 26 goals in 95 matches. Last season, he only scored 10 goals in all competitions, including 4 goals in the Premier League, and went through a streak of 21 matches without a goal (lasting from December to March).

Atalanta medical examination of new recruit worth 17 million euros

According to transfer news expert, Fabrzio Romano, Atalanta have reached an agreement to recruit Nicola Zalewski from Inter Milan for a fee of 17 million euros. The young talent who grew up at AS Roma's training center is expected to undergo a medical before signing a contract to join the team at Gewiss Stadium.

On the other hand, Atalanta and Inter have yet to make any progress in the Ademola Lookman deal. The Nigerian international himself is keen to join Giuseppe Meazza and has sent a strong message to Atalanta's board of directors, but the two clubs have yet to agree on a transfer fee.

Jacob Ramsey officially joins Newcastle.

Newcastle welcomes 50 million euro striker

Newcastle United are delighted to announce the signing of striker Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa for a fee of around €45 million, plus €5 million in add-ons. The 24-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the Magpies.

At St James' Park, Ramsey will wear the number 41 shirt, as he did when he was at Aston Villa. The former England international becomes the fourth signing to join the Northeastern giants this summer, following Anthony Elanga, Malick Thiaw and Aaron Ramsdale.

Ramsey has been a long-term target for Newcastle. While at Villa, the striker scored 17 goals in 167 appearances in all competitions for the Birmingham club.

Sunderland completes signing of PSG player

Newcomer Sunderland continues to show their ambition to stay in the Premier League with another quality contract. The team at The Light has just announced that they have completed the deal to recruit Nordi Mukiele from PSG for 12 million euros. The 27-year-old player also signed a 4-year contract with the Black Cats.

Mukiele becomes the 13th new signing to arrive at The Light Stadium this summer, bringing the total transfer fee Sunderland have spent to 200 million euros. Compared to the other two new recruits, Leeds United and Burnley, the team of chairman Kyril Louis-Dreyfus is showing more willingness to spend.

AS Roma interested in Malacia

According to Sky Sports Italia, AS Roma are interested in Man United defender Tyrell Malacia. The Olimpico team is expected to ask for a season-long loan for the Dutch player, with an option to buy. However, the specific amount has not been disclosed.

Malacia is currently on the radar of several other Serie A teams and Besiktas. The 27-year-old full-back is likely to leave Old Trafford this summer as he is no longer in coach Ruben Amorim's personnel plans.

In addition to Malacia, AS Roma is also promoting plans to recruit Jadon Sancho from the Red Devils.
