French giants Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly been monitoring him, with scouts compiling reports. Brighton & Hove Albion along with Atletico Madrid and Bologna have reportedly got their eyes on him too.
Teenage defender Lucas Herrington has been the subject of major rumours, linking him to Spanish powerhouse Barcelona which only intensified after a classy display against Paraguay.

However, MLS club Colorado Rapids reportedly have valued him at 10m euros, which is beyond Barcelona’s price, according to Spanish reports. The Athletic also reported Liverpool sent scouts to watch him in the MLS this season.
There’s been plenty of speculation around Nestory Irankunda, with UK reports now suggesting Watford wanting 20m pounds for his signature. The Watford Observer claimed the Hornets rejected a 10m pound bid from newly-promoted Hull City.
It’s already been reported that Turkish club Trabzonspor are monitoring him, impressed by his display against Turkiye. Spanish club Villarreal and relegated English club West Ham United were linked with him last month.

Connor Metcalfe’s future with relegated German club St Pauli remains unclear. He is contracted until 2027, but the parties may opt to split following relegation. He has been linked with MLS and Championship clubs.
Prior to the World Cup, Metcalfe had opted to park the situation until after the tournament and his goal against Turkiye may have aided his bid to find a new top tier club which would also earn St Pauli a transfer fee.
