Boly talks ongoing but Toffolo to leave
Nottingham Forest remain in talks with out-of-contract defender Willy Boly. The centre-back's deal expires at the end of the month but Forest are keen to extend his stay. Boly, who also played under Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo at Wolves, made nine appearances for the club as they finished seventh in the Premier League last season. Advertisement The 34-year-old has made 46 appearances since joining from Wolves in 2022, scoring three goals. Harry Toffolo will leave the City Ground when his deal ends in a few weeks. The left-back made 57 appearances, scoring once, after arriving from Huddersfield in 2022, and played just four times in the Premier League last season. Alex Moreno has returned to Aston Villa following the expiry of his loan. The left-back played 19 times for Forest, making 11 league starts, after arriving on loan last August. Meanwhile, the club is still talking to goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey about a future role at the City Ground.

Ruben Amorim has copied Jose Mourinho transfer tactic at Manchester United
Manchester United have wasted no time in getting down to business at the start of this summer's transfer window. After completing the £62.5million signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves last weekend, United are now trying to get a deal in place to bring Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo to Old Trafford. Advertisement After seeing an opening offer worth £55m turned down in midweek, discussions between the two clubs are understood to remain ongoing and an improved bid is expected to be made. READ MORE: Man United 'target' £50m Ruben Amorim favourite as David Beckham pushes for transfer reunion READ MORE: Bryan Mbeumo talks, sales planned - Manchester United state of play ahead of transfer deadline Having already signed Cunha, who scored 17 goals across all competitions in 2024-25, the prospect of United adding Mbeumo, who scored 20 Premier League goals, to their attacking pool is exciting. United's attack was blunt for much of the 2024/25 campaign, so the fact they could start next season with two of the Premier League's most consistent recent goalscorers in their attack is extremely encouraging. Advertisement Should Mbeumo join Cunha at Old Trafford, the general feeling is they will occupy the two No.10 positions. Cunha regularly operated as the left-sided No.10 in a 3-4-2-1 system at Wolves, while Mbeumo has often drifted inside from the right flank at Brentford. United's switch to a 3-4-2-1 formation under Ruben Amorim last November means Cunha's transition to Old Trafford should be fairly seamless. He is a specialist in the No.10 role and the uniqueness of Amorim's formation means that he needs specialist operators to occupy key positions within it. Despite Cunha and potentially Mbeumo also offering United a sense of versatility, which chief executive Omar Berrada vowed the club would target this summer, Cunha's experience as a No.10 makes him a tailor-made fit for the role Amorim wants him to fill. And signing specialist players for specific positions is a route former United manager Jose Mourinho wanted to go down in the 2016 summer transfer window, while also acknowledging the importance of having players who could also play in different roles. Ruben Amorim has taken a leaf out of Jose Mourinho's (right) book. -Credit:. "We made a nucleus of four priorities, four positions, to give a certain balance to the squad," Mourinho said in July 2016. "To give a certain push in terms of the qualities I need and want. Advertisement "As you know, the ones with more vision. I am more a manager that likes specialists rather than multi-functional players because I am clear in my approach. "Multi-functional players – you need one or two if you have three central defenders injured. But, basically, I want specialists." United's early-window recruitment has given a clear indication that Amorim is after both specialists and a sprinkling of versatility. Multi-functional forwards have been missing from United's attacking ranks in recent years, making the addition of Cunha and the potential addition of Mbeumo extremely positive. However, Cunha, despite being capable of playing as a No.9, is, first and foremost, a specialist No.10, who will slot straight into the left-sided No.10 position. He is a maverick, capable of making something happen in the blink of an eye from that particular area of the pitch. The unique nature of Amorim's system means he will need specialist operators, hence why he was so determined to sign Patrick Dorgu back in January to operate at wing-back. He cannot rely on attempting to put square pegs in round holes.

Barcelona set asking price for player wanted by Wolves
Barcelona are set to part ways with several players this summer, and one of them could be on their way to the Premier League. The likes of Andreas Christensen, Pablo Torre and Ansu Fati are expected to be leaving Barcelona during this summer's second transfer window, which opens for business at the start of July. And in recent days, it has emerged that another first team player could be on the move – that being Gerard Martin. Advertisement Martin, who was backup to Alejandro Balde at left-back throughout last season, has attracted interest from Wolves. The Premier League side are in the market for a replacement for Manchester City-bound Rayan Ait-Nouri, and among their options is the Barcelona man. Barcelona establish Gerard Martin asking price Image via Squakwa As reported by Sport, Barcelona are open to selling Martin, although he was not one of the players that they had been expected to leave this summer. They are prepared to accept an offer in the region of €12m, which would represent good profit on a player that joined from UE Cornella two years. Advertisement Barcelona have yet to receive an offer from Wolves, who will be more than capable of reaching the asking price that has been established by the La Liga champions. If a deal were to go through, the report notes that Hector Fort would no longer be considered for departure during the summer transfer window. Fort is the player that had looked most likely to leave Barcelona this summer, although he is reportedly not keen on the idea of a departure. And he would get his wish if Martin goes, with the club not willing to lose a third left-back option about Martin and Alex Valle, who has already completed a transfer to Serie A side Como. It remains to be seen whether Wolves made a move for Martin, but if they do, it would be no surprise to see a deal completed.
