In the six-yard box

The biggest transfer stories of the day. These are the deals that are happening, or at least on the verge of getting done.

Mislav Orsic from Dinamo Zagreb to Saints

The Premier League strugglers are set to complete the signing of the Croatia international for around $7 million. The 30-year-old has already done part of his medical and the documents regarding his signature are currently being sorted. With almost one goal per game with Modri, Nathan Jones will be hoping that Orsic can hit the ground running at St Mary’s Stadium.

Sampdoria’s Bartosz Bereszynski to Napoli

The Poland international has completed his move to the Serie A leaders and will undergo his medical on Friday. The 30-year-old will be backup to Giovanni Di Lorenzo at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and Sampdoria will get Alessandro Zanoli on loan for the remainder of the season.

Manchester United loan Crystal Palace’s Jack Butland

The England international arrives at Old Trafford until the end of the season with no option for the Red Devils to purchase him permanently. David De Gea will remain No. 1 and Butland will be expected to deputize for him at times now that his medical has been completed and contract signed.

Rosario Central’s Mateo Tanlongo joins Sporting

The Argentine talent has moved to Portugal where he has signed a contract until 2027. Just 19, the midfielder leaves Miguel Angel Russo’s side to begin his European career.

Entering the penalty area

These moves may not be imminent, but there’s a lot of transfer fire in all the smoke these players and teams might be blowing.

Mudryk latest

Shakhtar Donetsk’s Carlo Nicolini has spoken again about the interest in star man Mykhaylo Mudryk, this time to Calcio Napoli 24: “We are not in a hurry to sell Mudryk — we do not need money. We consider Mykhaylo stronger than Antony so you can now understand the value. The price tag is clear.” Shkhtar director Darijo Srna was at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea vs. Manchester City on Thursday but Arsenal remain the player’s preferred destination despite his club’s recent meeting with Chelsea.

Martinez to Miami?

A Major League Soccer story now and Inter Miami are looking to land Atlanta United’s Josef Martinez with talks ongoing. The former MLS MVP has struggled with injuries of late but still returns good goal and assist numbers despite his limited minutes.

Build-up play

These moves might be speculative but they’re ones to keep an eye on.

Caicedo on the move?

Brighton and hove Albion’s Moises Caicedo has got himself new representation ahead of what is expected to be a summer move. The Ecuador international will be represented by Manuel Sierra and Ali Barat who already represent Bayer Leverkusen’s Piero Hincapie.
