Transfer rumours: Man United hand trial to Bosnian prospect, Suarez confirms next club

Sports Mole rounds up some of the latest transfer rumours, including Manchester United handing a trial to a Bosnian prospect and Luis Suarez confirming his next club.

Manchester United are reportedly planning to hand a trial to young Bosnian goalkeeper Tarik Karic.

Since Erik ten Hag's arrival earlier in the summer, the focus has been on transforming a first-team squad which under-performed during the last campaign.

However, according to the Manchester Evening News, the Premier League giants remain keen to consider potential options for the future.

The report says that Karic, who is just 16 years of age, will spend time with the United youth setup at some point during September.

Karic is currently plying his trade for the academy side at FK Zeljeznicar, who finished in sixth position in the Bosnian top flight during the most recent campaign.

Since his departure from Atletico Madrid, Luis Suarez has been heavily linked with a number of clubs around Europe, including Aston Villa.

The Uruguay international was also said to be a transfer target for River Plate, the veteran biding his time before making a decision on his next move.

However, the 35-year-old has now revealed that he is re-joining Nacional, the club where he started his professional career.

Speaking on social media, Suarez said: "I am proud to wear my shirt again at Nacional. Thank you all for the support. See you soon."

During his initial stint with Nacional during the 2005-06 campaign, Suarez netted 10 times as his team won the Uruguayan top-flight title.

After failing to hold down a regular spot at Chelsea, Fikayo Tomori was allowed to sign for AC Milan, initially on loan at the start of 2021 before earning a permanent move to San Siro.

The 24-year-old has since emerged as one of the club's most important signings in recent years, the defender making 31 appearances last season as AC Milan ended their 11-year wait for another Serie A title.

Although Tomori still has three years remaining on his contract, he has revealed that he is in talks to extend his deal.

Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Luca Bianchin, the England international said: "Yes, we're in talks and I really like everything here in Milano."

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed that any new contract is expected to run until the end of 2026-27.

Giovani Lo Celso is one of several players who have been told by Antonio Conte that they are free to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

The 26-year-old has continued to be linked with a permanent switch to Villarreal, where he made 21 appearances during the second half of last season.

However, according to Area Napoli, Napoli are interested in negotiating a deal with their counterparts at the Premier League outfit.

The report suggests that Spurs may be willing to accept in the region of £16.8m or agree to a season-long loan arrangement with the obligation to buy.

Lo Celso still has three years remaining on his contract at the North London side.
