Club expect to receive official Man Utd transfer bid for goalkeeper 'soon'
Manchester United have firmed up their interest in Senne Lammens and Royal Antwerp are expecting a bid for the goalkeeper in due course, according to reports in Belgium. Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon remain United's only additions of the summer transfer window on the back of the club's wretched 2024/25 campaign under Ruben Amorim. But the Red Devils are understood to made a significant breakthrough in their attempts to sign Bryan Mbeumo and forward's move from Brentford is set to be officially confirmed over the coming days. Determined to further strengthen Amorim's squad from back to front, United's hierarchy will quickly focus their attentions on finding an upgrade for Andre Onana once Mbeumo arrives through the doors at the Theatre of Dreams. Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez, Porto's Diogo Costa and Lille's Lucas Chevalier are all understood to be on United's radar as Old Trafford bosses look to address the side's miserable defensive record in recent seasons.

Meanwhile, Belgian publication HLN report that Royal Antwerp shot-stopper Lammens, 23, finds himself at the top of United's shortlist of potential solutions between the sticks, with the club's interest 'becoming more concrete'. The report adds that Antwerp believe there is a 'good chance' that United will make an official offer for Lammens 'soon'. It's claimed the Belgian Pro League outfit are hoping to receive a bid in the region of €15-20million (£13-17.3m) for the former Belgium Under-21 international. While Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray are also monitoring Lammens' situation, the 'keeper is said to be holding out for a move to one of Europe's top five leagues. Lammens' current contract in Antwerp runs through to June 2027. United have been keeping close tabs on Lammens' progress in Belgian football for the past six months and, in February, the young goalkeeper told Gazet van Antwerpen he was flattered to learn of the club's interest. In the same interview, the ex-Club Brugge man also argued that his game was perfectly suited to the Premier League, which he branded 'the best competition in the world'. 'The first time I heard it, I thought, 'Wow! Immediately a world team is following you', and that is special,' Lammens said. 'Of course, I was also asked about it a lot, and when I made a save in training 'Those top clubs have so many scouts and follow so many players so it doesn't have to mean anything yet. It will only become clear in the summer whether anything will come of it. But of course, it is only positive. 'Especially because it is just about the best competition in the world and my profile – my stature and way of playing – is suitable for English football. 'You have to physically hold your own there and that suits me. 'You do follow the teams that follow you a bit. But it's not like I'm watching full matches. Summaries are enough.'

Ex-Rangers star John Lundstram eyed for shock transfer to league rivals – despite club being BANNED from signing players
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FORMER Rangers star John Lundstram has emerged as a target for one of his current club's league rivals. But their interest comes amid a BAN from signing players. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 2 John Lundstram joined Trabzonspor last summer Credit: Getty 2 He spent three years at Rangers between 2021 and 2024 Credit: PA Lundstram, 31, ended a three-year stay with Rangers last year. The midfielder left Ibrox at the end of his contract and was quickly snapped up by Turkish Super Lig outfit Trabzonspor. After a tricky start to life at the club, Lundstram went on to establish himself as a key player. Despite that, his future has become somewhat uncertain this summer. Turkish clubs are restricted to having a certain number of foreign players in their squad and as a result, with the maximum number permitted 12. Before the summer transfer window even opened, there were 14 overseas players in Trabzonspor's squad. That meant the futures of several overseas players became uncertain, with reports out of Turkey naming Lundstram as one of the players who could be moved on to make space for new foreign signings. Lundstram's former Gers teammate Borna Barisic looks almost certain to be moved on and he hasn't even been given a squad number ahead of the new season. Even if Lundstram is to leave the club, he could still have a home in Turkey. That's because 61 Saat are reporting that the midfielder has emerged as a target for Antalyaspor. Ex-Rangers stars John Lundstram and Borna Barisic arrive in Turkey to sign for Trabzonspor However, it's a rather complicated one. That's because Antalyaspor are currently BANNED from signing new players. They were stopped from registering new players last summer due to owing money to a couple of former players. That left former England international Andros Townsend in limbo at the time, with the winger having joined the club just before the Fifa ban came into force. After a month of uncertainty, the ban was lifted and Townsend was able to start playing in September. But almost a year on, Antalyaspor find themselves under a transfer embargo yet AGAIN. According to Turkish reports, there are '11 cases' the club need to solve before the embargo is lifted by world football's governing body. Should the ban be removed, Lundstram is a player reportedly of interest to Antalyaspor boss Emre Belozoglu. Former Newcastle, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid star Emre is preparing for his first season as the club's manager.

Arsenal star Leandro Trossard responds to Bayern Munich transfer approach
Leandro Trossard is not interested in leaving Arsenal for Bayern Munich this summer, according to reports in Germany. The 30-year-old forward has racked up 28 goals and 23 assists since joining Arsenal from Brighton for a fee of just £27million two years ago. In that time, Trossard has proven an invaluable member of the Gunners' first-team squad, but the Belgian has struggled to nail down a regular starting role under Mikel Arteta and there is mounting speculation that he could soon be on the move. Al-Ittihad failed with an ambitious £29.4million bid to sign Trossard last summer and the Saudi Pro League remains a viable option for the attacker, who is out of contract at the Emirates in 2026, as well as Turkish Super Lig giants Fenerbahce. Bayern Munich have also been credited with a strong interest and are understood to have identified the former Brighton man as one of their top targets should they prove unsuccessful in pursuit of a deal for Liverpool's Luis Diaz. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. According to Sky Deutschland, Trossard has received 'numerous enquiries' from the Bundesliga champions, but is 'not interested' in joining up with fellow countryman Vincent Kompany at the Allianz Arena. The report adds that there are no 'concrete negotiations' at this stage and Arsenal's hierarchy remain hopeful of extending Trossard's contract beyond next summer. Bayern would be expected to step up their interest in Trossard should Liverpool continue to play hardball for Diaz over the coming weeks. It's claimed Bayern's sporting director, Max Eberl, has been in constant dialogue with Diaz's camp and talks over personal terms are ongoing between the two parties. However, Liverpool are in no hurry to part with Diaz and have knocked back several proposals for Diaz, who has also been heavily linked with Barcelona this summer. The Merseyside giants would consider selling Diaz, though, should they receive a bid of between €70 and €80m (£61-69.5m) for the Colombia international. Trossard's path to regular minutes at Arsenal could be further blocked next term should the north Londoners finalise their move to sign Chelsea winger Noni Madueke. It's believed the Gunners have agreed a deal with Chelsea worth in the region of £50m for Madueke and club bosses are determined to further strengthen their attack once the England international arrives through the doors. Sporting sensation Viktor Gyokeres remains at the top of Arteta's wishlist at centre-forward, while Eberechi Eze's potential availability is being eyed on the back of his best-ever season with Crystal Palace. Coincidentally, Bayern are also keeping close tabs on Eze's situation as a result of Leroy Sane's recent move to Galatasaray and Jamal Musiala's horrendous injury at the Club World Cup.

Goutas returns to Turkey after Cardiff exit
Dimitrious Goutas has returned to the Turkish Super Lig after agreeing a two-year deal with Genclerbirligi. Centre-back Goutas, 31, left Cardiff City with his contract up this summer. The Greece international spent two years with the Bluebirds, scoring five goals in 81 appearances for the Welsh club. But he departed after Cardiff's relegation to League One and gone back to Turkey, where he played for Sivasspor before moving to Wales.
