Transfer rumours: Martial to Galatasaray, Adams to Wolves, Diaz to Southampton

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer rumours, including Anthony Martial to Galatasaray, Che Adams to Wolverhampton Wanderers and Ben Brereton Diaz to Southampton.

Galatasaray are reportedly interested in signing Anthony Martial on a free transfer this summer.

The forward will officially become a free agent at the end of this month, as Manchester United have decided against renewing his contract at Old Trafford.

According to ESPN, Galatasaray are keen on the ex-Monaco youngster, who only made 13 Premier League appearances during the 2023-24 campaign.

However, the report claims that the 28-year-old must reduce his wage demands if he is to secure a move to the Turkish giants.

Martial will leave Man United having scored 90 goals and registered 47 assists in 317 appearances in all competitions.

The striker has not featured in a competitive match since December, though, as he underwent a groin operation at the start of this year.

Elsewhere, Wolverhampton Wanderers have allegedly placed a contract offer on the table for Che Adams.

The 27-year-old scored 17 times and registered six assists in 46 appearances for Southampton during the 2023-24 campaign, playing an important role in their return to the Premier League.

However, Adams's deal at St Mary's is due to expire at the end of June, and there is currently a host of speculation surrounding his future with the Saints.

According to Football Insider, Wolves have offered the Scotland international a contract to make the move to Molineux ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

The report claims that Southampton are determined to keep hold of him, though, and the club's return to the Premier League has placed them in a stronger position when it comes to a potential new deal.

Adams has a record of 25 goals and 13 assists in 124 appearances in the Premier League.

Staying with Southampton, the Saints have alertedly identified Ben Brereton Diaz as a potential signing during this summer's transfer window.

The Chile international spent the second half of last season on loan at Sheffield United from Villarreal, and he scored six times and registered one assist in 14 Premier League appearances.

The 25-year-old has a contract with Villarreal until June 2027, but it is believed that he could leave the Yellow Submarine on a permanent basis this summer.

According to The Sun, Southampton are keen on the forward, with the club securing a return to the Premier League for the 2024-25 campaign.

The report claims that the Saints would be open to discussing a loan switch for Brereton Diaz, providing that an option to buy was included in the agreement.

Brereton Diaz scored 47 goals and registered 16 assists in 177 matches for Blackburn Rovers ahead of a move to Villarreal, but he has failed to provide a goal contribution in 20 outings for his current side.
