The 2025 summer transfer market is still open, and clubs are signing the players they need to improve their squads, some expensive, some cheap.

In this article, we take a look at the players that could be more on the cheap side because they’ve been labelled “rejected goods” by their current clubs.

🇦🇷 Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United) | 21 yrs | Arg | Transfer Value: €40m:

Alejandro Garnacho may be just 21, but he’s already made a name for himself with some dazzling moments for English giants Manchester United. Last season, he made 58 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 11 goals and assisting 10.

The Argentine is known for his Puskas award-winning stunning bicycle kick against Everton in the EPL that also won the Premier League Goal of the Season.

Despite his raw talent and flashes of brilliance, United’s inconsistency has seen Garnacho’s form tank a bit, linking him with an exit this season.

🇸🇳 Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea) | 24 yrs | Sen | Transfer Value: €50m:

Jackson netted 14 Premier League goals in his mixed debut campaign at Chelsea after arriving from Villarreal, but he also missed several big chances, leading many to question his composure.

Last season, he clocked 13 goals and 6 assists in the 37 games he played for the Blues. Considering Chelsea’s constant reshuffling and his disciplinary troubles, the Senegalese’s time at Stamford Bridge could end as soon as this season.

🇮🇹 Federico Chiesa (Juventus)  | 27 yrs | Ita | Transfer Value: €14m:

Chiesa, in his last season with Juventus, played 37 games for Juventus last season, netting 10 goals and 3 assists in all competitions. But injuries and a dip in form meant he left for Liverpool only to face the same demons.

Same problems stalled what was once a meteoric rise, especially after his Euro 2020 heroics, leaving the Italian with only 4 goals and assists in the 14 appearances he made for them.

Now, he has to turn his attention elsewhere, with his time in England coming to an abrupt end.

🏴 Jack Grealish (Manchester City)  | 29 yrs | Eng | Transfer Value: €28m:

Once the most expensive British footballer, Grealish’s stock has dipped significantly. He featured in 32 matches last season but managed just 3 goals and 5 assists — a significant drop from his Aston Villa days.

With Omar Marmoush and Jeremy Doku pushing him out of the starting XI, Pep and City are ready to let him go. For clubs needing guile and ball retention, he still brings value.

🇫🇷 Christopher Nkunku (Chelsea)  | 27 yrs | Fra | Transfer Value: €35m:

Nkunku arrived at Chelsea with major hype but endured a season ravaged by injury. He made only 11 appearances, scoring 3 goals in his first season. Nkunku’s second season with the Blues was much better, with the French forward netting 15 goals and providing 5 assists in the 48 games he played.

When fit, he’s an intelligent forward who can link play and finish with either foot. But availability is his biggest obstacle. For clubs willing to gamble, he’s a high-ceiling option.

🇷🇸 Dušan Vlahović (Juventus)  | 25 yrs | Ser | Transfer Value: €35m:

Vlahović scored 17 goals and 5 assists in his 44 games across all competitions last season. Yet, he continues to be linked with a move away, as Juventus eye a more fluid front line.

He’s a classic No. 9 with lethal finishing — and in a team that plays to his strengths, he could be a 25+ goal striker.

Major European clubs are manoeuvring in the transfer market: Newcastle, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United remain at the heart of today’s elite transfer chatter.

🔵 Liverpool: Isak’s Favoured Destination?

Alexander Isak has reportedly told Newcastle he wants to leave should the right opportunity arise. Liverpool is widely viewed as his preferred destination—despite Newcastle's insistence he is not for sale.

Their €150 million valuation remains intact, but Liverpool are monitoring developments closely and could return if a release clause materialises.

⚫Newcastle Poised for Šeško Move:

To reinvest in forward talent, Newcastle are heavily linked with Benjamin Šeško, RB Leipzig’s fast-rising 22-year-old striker. Valued in the €70–80 million range, Šeško is seen as Newcastle’s first-choice replacement if Isak departs.

Other clubs, including Manchester United, are interested, but Newcastle’s Champions League status and transfer firepower give them the edge.

🔵 Chelsea Targets: Simons & Hato in Focus:

Chelsea have priority interest in Xavi Simons, RB Leipzig’s creative playmaker, available at a fee believed to be under €60 million.

They are also leading negotiations for Ajax defender Jorrel Hato, who is valued at around €45 million and used at centre-back or left-back.

Chelsea continues to monitor internal sales, with forwards Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku reportedly open to leaving, possibly to fund new arrivals.

🔴 Manchester United’s Forward Strategy:

Manchester United are reportedly weighing options between Šeško and Ollie Watkins, the Aston Villa striker valued at around €60 million.

Šeško remains their ideal target, but Premier League budget constraints and prior big expenditures on Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo may limit their offer.

United may need to raise funds via outgoing sales—Garnacho or Jadon Sancho could be considered.

🤝Other Notable Moves: Inter’s Failed Ademola Offer:

Inter Milan recently had a €40 million + 5 add-ons bid for Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman rejected by Atalanta, who feel Ademola is worth a whole lot more.

Serie A clubs are confident the current CAF Africa Player of the Year holder wants out of the Bergamo club and are attentive to his situation with the Nigerian reportedly giving preference to Inter Milan.

👋Garnacho & Nicolas Jackson Not Wanted Anymore:

Alejandro Garnacho, the Manchester United winger, remains available. Chelsea reportedly considered him during January and retained interest, with Aston Villa also linked.

Any Chelsea deal, however, may hinge on Christopher Nkunku’s freeing up a spot at Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Newcastle have added Nicolas Jackson to their wishlist, with Chelsea reportedly placing a hefty €100 million valuation on the forward. However, the Magpies believe they can get the Senegalese at a lower price in case they fail to get Sesko.

🎯 Quick Summary:

Liverpool: Favoured build-up for Isak’s €150m deal if Newcastle sell.

Newcastle: Front runners to sign Šeško; will only sell Isak if the right offer is secured.

Chelsea: Targeting Simons and Hato; Jackson & Nkunku could be used to raise funds.

Manchester United: Choosing between Šeško (premium target) or Watkins; Garnacho & Sancho sales may unlock an approach.

Inter: Hear remains firm on Lukman—latest offer turned down.

✅ Final Word:

Newcastle appear poised to recycle a star transfer into a fresh striker coup. Liverpool climb back into the mix for Isak, while Chelsea build a double transfer offensive around midfield and defence.

Manchester United must juggle ambition with budget reality, and Inter Milan’s failed bid for Lukman signals that transfer bust-ups and strategic patience are part of the modern game. Let’s see who cracks first—and at what price.
