Record transfer imminent at Feyenoord: Al Nassr prepared to bid high
Feyenoord and Al Nassr are expected to reach an agreement this week on a transfer for Dávid Hancko, according to Voetbal International. The 27-year-old Slovakian will most likely fetch a record amount for the Rotterdammers.
Hancko has been strongly linked to a summer transfer to Al Nassr for some time now. This week, 'white smoke is expected to finally appear'.

'Al Nassr are prepared to pay a transfer fee that will probably break Santiago Giménez's record', it is said. Last January, the Mexican striker left for AC Milan for 35 million euros. Feyenoord hopes to collect an amount of around 40 million for Hancko.
At Feyenoord, the defender still has a contract until the summer of 2028, but there have been mutual agreements about a departure this summer. Earlier, Al Nassr already made a bid of 32 million euros plus four million euros in bonuses, but that proposal was turned down by the Rotterdammers.
The expectation is that an agreement will be reached this week. It is said that the defender himself has already personally agreed with the Saudi club.
'I have never made a secret of the fact that I am having a fantastic time at Feyenoord, but at the same time I would like to move on,' Hancko said previously. 'But if those clubs do not agree with me or choose other players, I will not do anything with that wish. We will see how it ends this time.'

Hancko has played a total of 140 matches for Feyenoord. Yarek Gasiorowski is in the picture in Rotterdam as the Slovakian's successor. The Valencia defender is expected to make the move to Feyenoord this summer. He was previously of interest to Arsenal and RB Leipzig. In Rotterdam, they are confident that Gasiorowski will make the move, despite the fact that an initial offer was rejected.

Juventus Make £25m Move for Man Utd Winger
Italian Giants Explore Jadon Sancho Transfer Juventus have stepped up their interest in Jadon Sancho, holding initial discussions over a possible move for the Manchester United winger. The Serie A club have sounded out what a potential deal could look like, as they weigh up a formal approach during the summer transfer window. Advertisement Sancho, 24, remains on the fringes at Old Trafford following his public fallout with Erik ten Hag last season, which saw him exiled from the first team and sent out on loan to Borussia Dortmund in January. His time in Germany helped him rediscover some rhythm, but there is currently no pathway for him back into the United setup. Napoli Monitor Situation but Face Financial Hurdles Juventus are not alone in their pursuit. Napoli have also expressed interest in the England international, but any concrete move would likely require Sancho to accept a significant reduction in wages. The forward is currently one of United's top earners, with a salary package that presents a major stumbling block for interested clubs outside the Premier League. Napoli remain in contact with Sancho's representatives, keeping lines open should a compromise over personal terms become viable. However, Juventus are understood to be in a stronger financial position to meet both the player's demands and United's valuation. Manchester United Seek Permanent Solution From United's perspective, the preference is clear: they would rather offload Sancho on a permanent deal than sanction another loan move. The club are believed to be holding out for an offer in the region of £25 million – a fee that reflects both Sancho's age and the diminishing years on his contract, which expires in 2026. Advertisement There is no desire within the United hierarchy to reintegrate Sancho into the first-team squad. Instead, they view this window as a pivotal opportunity to recoup some of their investment, having signed the winger from Dortmund for £73 million in 2021. Player's Future to Be Resolved This Summer As the summer window unfolds, Sancho's future looks increasingly likely to lie away from Old Trafford. Juventus have shown concrete interest and are now in dialogue over financial frameworks and personal terms. United are willing sellers, Juventus are actively exploring the deal, and the player himself is understood to be open to a new challenge. The situation remains fluid, but movement is expected in the coming weeks. With United keen to streamline their squad and Juventus hoping to reinforce their attacking options, Sancho's next destination could well be the Allianz Stadium.

Martin Zubimendi lands in London to seal Arsenal switch
Arsenal are on course to finally complete the transfer signing of Martin Zubimendi in the coming days. The midfielder had agreed a deal with Gunners last month, but late interest from Real Madrid changed the situation, as Zubimendi kept his options open a move to the Spanish capital. Advertisement Despite constant reports from the UK since late January, claiming Mikel Arteta had wrapped up a deal for his fellow Basque, there were also consistent string of reports in Spain stating Los Blancos were still interested in the 26-year-old La Roja international. Why Zubimendi chose Arsenal over Real Madrid? Fans from both sides will argue this one but there appears to be several factors at play. Arsnal's interest has been established for longer with Arteta and Andrea Berta both reportedly speaking to Zubimendi to outline his place in their plans. Finances are also important, from both La Real and Arsenal's perspectives, with the Premier League side willing to pay more than his €60m release clause in order to be able to do so in instalments, and that tipped the balance. Advertisement A last minute push to be reunited with Xabi Alonso fell short amid rumours of Florentino Perez blocking an offer as he believes Real Madrid are well stocked in midfield. Who will Zubimendi replace at Arsenal? If Real Madrid's midfield is viewed as full by Perez, Arsenal are short on numbers, with Arteta losing two experienced figures. Jorginho has already completed a free transfer move to Flamengo in time for the FIFA Club World Cup and Thomas Partey will leave when his contract expires at the end of June. Zubimendi's arrival could be pushed back to July 1, to keep in line with financial rules, and he is expected to play as a deep-lying No.6 behind Declan Rice and former teammates Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino.
