Tonight's Swansea City news as stance on McBurnie emerges and chief jets in for Modric talks
Tonight's Swansea City news as stance on McBurnie emerges and chief jets in for Modric talks The latest news and gossip from the Stadium Reports claim Oli McBurnie isn't a serious target for Sheffield United this summer (Image: Joe Prior/Visionhaus ) Here's your round-up of all the latest Swansea City news for Wednesday, June 4. Blades not in for McBurnie Sheffield United are not currently in the running to sign Oli McBurnie this summer. That's according to Football League World, who claim the 29-year-old is not viewed as priority target by the Blades this summer. McBurnie spent five years at Bramall Lane after completing a £17m move from Swansea City back in 2019. Sign up to the Swansea City WhatsApp service to get breaking news and top stories sent to your phone But while a return to south Yorkshire has been seemingly dismissed, the same report claims the Swans are now the ones pushing hardest for his signature. The striker is certainly on the radar in SA1, and it's understood he would be open to coming back should the opportunity arise. Article continues below However, the prospect of pulling on a Swans shirt again is likely to rest on finances, and that could prove a stumbling block. On Sunday, journalist Alan Nixon claimed Hull City and Spanish side Celta Vigo were also keeping a close eye on developments. Milan chief jets in for Modric talks AC Milan sporting director Igli Tare has been spotted on his way back from a trip to Croatia, having reportedly offered Luka Modric the chance to join the Serie A giants. Modric is set to bring the curtain down on an incredible 13-year stint at Real Madrid after the upcoming Club World Cup this summer, and speculation has already started to swirl over his next move. Despite investing in Swansea City, the prospect of him slotting into Alan Sheehan's midfield next season seems remote, but the 39-year-old is still keen to carry on playing for at least another year. According to Italian journalist Matteo Moretto, Modric has now been offered a 12-month deal with an added option. "The Milan sports director considers Modrić an important piece to start from, due to his experience and mentality," Moretto wrote on X. "We are waiting for the footballer's final yes." Content cannot be displayed without consent Cooper front-runner for Boro job Steve Cooper has emerged as the early front-runner to succeed Michael Carrick as Middlesbrough boss. Carrick was dismissed from his post on Wednesday, and the process of finding his successor has already begun. It's understood current Swans boss Sheehan was previously considered as a possible replacement before the Irishman's permanent appointment in south Wales, with Boro one of several clubs impressed by his work guiding City to what was a strong end to the season. Now, it seems former Swans manager Cooper could well be the man to take over, with our colleagues at GazetteLive stating the Welshman is "held in high regard by officials at the Riverside". Cooper's been out of work since leaving Leicester City, and reports elsewhere recently suggested he turned down several Championship roles in a bid to stay in the Premier League. Nevertheless, he could now be persuaded to take a role in the second tier this time around. Cabango - Allen farewell was emotional Ben Cabango admits he was emotional in saying farewell to Joe Allen, following the midfielder's decision to retire from football. Allen called time on his career at the end of the season, signing off at the age of 35, and team-mate Cabango says it was a call that was some time in the making. Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here. "He did tell me earlier in the season, about halfway, that he was thinking about it," he revealed. "I thought because he started playing more consistently towards the end he might change his mind, but he said it was time to go. Article continues below "What a player, what a guy, and he will be missed at club and country." Allen's final game was a 3-3 draw at home to Oxford United on the final day of the Championship season, which also happened to be Kyle Naughton's final game in a Swans shirt. "The last game was emotional but it was a good send-off for Joe and Kyle [Naughton}," Cabango added.
