LUFC Summer Transfer Rumour Thread 2026

Post by Rick »

Might aswel fire this bastard up.

Latest rumours:

Hidemasa Morita - Daily Mail. Japanese international CM.

Danilho Doekhi - Romano. CB from Union Berlin we were supposedly after last summer. Available this summer on a free.

I personally would love Mateus Fernandes if Spam go down. Also hope the links to Joao Gomes are true. Both of these guys would be a substantial upgrade on any of Tanaka/Gruev/Aaronson to play alongside Ampadu and Stach.

We have some really top players in our first 11. Okafor, DCL, Ampadu and Stach would start for most teams outside the top 6 (could maybe even add Gudmundsson and Bogle to that list). A few more signings of their level would really elevate us.

We will have much more pulling power this summer compared to last summer. If we finish above Sunderland Farke will take Le Bris' nomination for Manager of the Year. Add to that a sexy stadium expansion on the horizon and the flurry of International call-ups we've had this season, it won't be hard to sell the project to potential signings.

Harvey Elliott is one I’d like to see. Vast upgrade on BA.

Left back is a must.
CB(s). I’m assuming Struijk will sign a new deal, Bornauw will probably move on.

Keeper? Think Darlow gets rewarded with a new deal. Do we stick with Perri? There’s a decent keeper in there somewhere but he needs to be more assertive.

Another CF.

Trouble with Perri would be the SCR loss unless someone pays high.

Might be a case of loaning him out. I assume he'll be on pretty big wages so at least we could free that up. Sell him after a year or 2 of amortisation. Dunno.

Dickhead agent advertising him it seems. Has a productive couple of months and his agent is trying to cash in off it. Pathetic really. Give us a full season of good form, without being injured, then look for the big move. Not after a decent couple of months ffs. Should just let him concentrate on his football.
