New doors could now open for Jackson, as clubs from Saudi Arabia have shown interest in signing him. Al-Ahli, in particular, from Saudi Arabia’s Pro League, has set its sights on Jackson, as reported by the portal Sportsboom. The club is looking for a replacement for Ivan Toney, who has played in the league since 2024 and has scored an impressive 46 goals in 52 league appearances.

Toney, however, is planning a return to the Premier League, forcing Al-Ahli to look for a suitable replacement. Jackson could fill this gap and give his career a new direction. At Bayern Munich, Jackson has so far only played a minor role. This season he has made 22 appearances and scored five goals, but has only started seven times.

Tottenham Hotspur’s 18-year-old center-back Luka Vušković has attracted interest from top European clubs due to his exceptional skills. Despite being a key player for Hamburg, Spurs see him as their long-term defensive cornerstone. With a potential transfer fee of €60m–€70m, Vušković‘s future remains uncertain, with Tottenham standing firm on their “unsellable” stance.

Real Madrid, looking to radically rejuvenate their aging backline, views Vušković as a generational candidate. Meanwhile, Barcelona views his elite ball-carrying ability as a seamless fit for their possession-based philosophy.

PSG scouts have reported that his physical parameters are a perfect match for the rigours of Ligue 1. It is well-documented that Manchester City and Liverpool have dispatched special representatives throughout the season to assess his adaptability to the English tempo.

Tottenham management publicly defines Vušković as the “centrepiece” of their defensive project, maintaining a strictly “unsellable” stance to deter low-ball offers. The North London club intends to integrate the player directly into the first-team rotation during the Summer 2026 pre-season. However, insiders suggest that Spurs require a significant “war chest” for marquee signings in the attacking third this summer, which might force their hand.

Should Tottenham be persuaded to the negotiating table, talks would likely only commence with a staggering bid in the €60m–€70m range. His current contract, running until June 2030, grants Spurs total leverage in any bargaining process.

Liverpool could look to sell Cody Gakpo this summer if they identify a top transfer target for his left-wing position.

Gakpo has struggled to hit top form for Liverpool this season, and may well be on his way out of the club this summer.

Speaking on the Transfer Insider podcast, I explained: “If Liverpool were to bring in another left-sided attacker in the summer then maybe that potentially could open the door for a move away for Cody Gakpo.

“But he’s under contract until 2030…by all accounts, he remains happy at the club even though he does come in for a bit of flak from some Liverpool fans for his performances.

“He’s clearly still seen as a key man by Arne Slot, because he keeps picking him.”
