Flash Transfer News: Silva and Olmo Release Clauses, Lukaku’s Influence on Doku, MU’s Replacement for Sancho and Antony

Here’s the latest transfer news as of September 12, focusing on Bernardo Silva et Dani Olmo contracts.

**Barcelona Targets Silva and Olmo**: FC Barcelona attempted to sign Bernardo Silva from Manchester City and Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig this summer but was unsuccessful. However, according to Mundo Deportivo, both players have included unofficial release clauses in their new contracts. Bernardo Silva reportedly has a release clause of approximately €58 million in his contract until June 2026, while Dani Olmo has a €60 million release clause in his contract until 2027. These clauses could potentially allow Barcelona to pursue these players in the next summer transfer window if they can afford the transfer fees.

**Sancho and Antony Replacement**: Jadon Sancho and Antony are facing different issues at Manchester United, with Sancho facing criticism from his coach and teammates, while Antony is facing allegations of violence. Manchester United is reportedly searching for replacements for both forwards. The Daily Mail suggests that Anwar El Ghazi, a winger who is currently a free agent after leaving PSV Eindhoven, could be the player to replace them.

**Lukaku’s Impact on Doku’s Career**: Romelu Lukaku reportedly had a significant impact on Jérémy Doku’s career choices. When Doku was 15 years old and playing for Anderlecht, clubs like Chelsea were interested in signing him. However, Lukaku, who also played for Anderlecht, advised Doku against joining Chelsea. Instead, Lukaku recommended that Doku stay at Anderlecht to continue his development. Doku followed this advice, remaining at Anderlecht for a few more years before eventually joining Rennes.
