Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer rumours, including Sadio Mane to Al-Nassr, Brennan Johnson to Brentford and Iliman Ndiaye to Marseille.

Al-Nassr are reportedly looking to sign Bayern Munich attacker Sadio Mane during this summer's transfer window.

The Saudi Arabian outfit, who famously signed Cristiano Ronaldo earlier this year, are currently banned from bringing in new players until they pay the money owed to Leicester City for Ahmed Musa.

However, FIFA have said that the suspension will be lifted once the fee, which is said to be just shy of £400,000, is settled.

According to Ariadhiah, Al-Nassr lead the Saudi Arabian interest in Mane, who is widely expected to leave Bayern this summer after struggling to make his mark for the Munich giants last term.

The 31-year-old only managed 12 goals and six assists in 38 appearances for Bayern during the 2022-23 campaign following his arrival from Liverpool.

Meanwhile, according to the Evening Standard, Brentford are considering making a new club-record offer for Nottingham Forest attacker Brennan Johnson.

The Bees have allegedly already had an offer of £30m turned down by Forest for a player who is also being tracked by Aston Villa.

The report claims that Brentford are now planning to increase their offer, although it remains to be seen whether Forest are willing to drop their asking price of just over £50m.

The 22-year-old, who has a contract with Steve Cooper's side until June 2026, found the back of the net on 10 occasions in 44 appearances at club level last season, in addition to contributing three assists.

Johnson netted eight Premier League goals in 2022-23, and Forest are expected to find it difficult to keep hold of the forward on a long-term basis.

Staying in the Premier League, Sheffield United are reportedly facing a battle to keep hold of Iliman Ndiaye during this summer's transfer window.

The 23-year-old was in excellent form for the Blades during the 2022-23 campaign, scoring 15 goals and registering 12 assists in 52 appearances in all competitions.

Ndiaye has entered the final year of his contract at Sheffield United, though, and there is currently speculation surrounding his future with the club.

According to L'Equipe, Marseille have been in touch to discuss the possibility of signing the Senegal international during this summer's transfer window.

Ndiaye made the move to the Blades from Boreham Wood in 2019, and he has represented the club on 88 occasions in all competitions, scoring 22 goals and registering 14 assists in the process.

Meanwhile, according to 90min, Fulham are keen to sign Brazilian midfielder Andre Trindade during this summer's transfer window.

The 21-year-old, who turns out for Fluminense, is believed to be on the radar of a number of European clubs.

Fulham were allegedly close to signing him for £20m during the January transfer window, and Marco Silva's side are believed to be preparing to reignite their interest this summer.

Trindade, who made his Brazil debut this year, has been in the Fluminense first team since 2020, representing the club on 141 occasions, scoring three goals and registering three assists.

Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and Arsenal are thought to be among the clubs to have previously spoken to the midfielder's representatives.
