David Carmo, a 24-year-old center-back, has made significant progress in his football career, particularly highlighted by a successful loan spell at Olympiacos. His performance in Greece was more than just a temporary boost; it was a clear demonstration of his capabilities, attracting attention from several top clubs. Initially not seen as a long-term option for Porto, Carmo’s impressive displays have made him a highly sought-after player in the competitive transfer market. SC Braga president Antonio Salvador noted, “David Carmo had a foot and a half at Liverpool,” in an interview with Marca, underscoring Carmo’s quality and his high regard across Europe.
For Leicester City and Wolves, acquiring a player of Carmo’s caliber could be transformative. His ability to adapt and perform at a high level would provide much-needed solidity to their defenses. Additionally, his recent international experience with Angola adds an extra dimension to his profile, enhancing his appeal.
With two years remaining on his contract, securing him with QPR until the end of the 2025/26 season, it’s suggested that the club would demand a fee of £5-7 million for Jake Clarke-Salter’s services this summer. Despite Stoke City’s recent acquisition of center-back Ben Gibson, QPR should still be concerned about the Potters’ interest in Clarke-Salter.
Given the rigors of a full season, it would be a significant challenge for any club to manage with just three center-backs. Stoke often plays with two center-backs, leaving them with only one player to cover both positions. Considering the likelihood of injuries and suspensions throughout the season, this situation would put them at a high risk of selection issues. Hence, it would be prudent for the club to bring in another central defender to alleviate the pressure on their current options, providing more flexibility for rotation and reducing the risk of unwanted absences.

The free agent market is attracting significant attention from both Premier League and Championship clubs, as managers and recruitment chiefs seek out bargains, gambles, and hidden gems. Stoke City has already initiated their summer activity by signing goalkeeper Viktor Johansson, taking advantage of a relegation release clause. Head coach Steven Schumacher and sporting director Jon Walters are focused on enhancing the first team squad by adding balance and quality, particularly seeking one or two strikers and a center-back.
Several Premier League clubs have yet to confirm their retained lists following the conclusion of the 2023/24 campaign. In the Championship, Cardiff City and Leeds United have also not published their lists. Below is a summary of the current group of players without a contract beyond June 30.
Aston Villa have allegedly communicated their desire to Barcelona regarding the permanent acquisition of defender Clement Lenglet. Aston Villa has opted against extending Clement Lenglet’s […]
Liverpool’s interest in Nottingham Forest’s Murillo for a potential summer transfer has hit a snag due to a significant increase in his valuation. Initially valued at around £50 million, recent reports from the Athletic suggest that Murillo’s worth has surged to at least £70 million. This sharp rise in valuation is likely to deter Liverpool, who are in the market for a center-back signing but may find Murillo financially out of reach. Despite his evident potential, Forest’s financial constraints and the uncertain aftermath of their unsuccessful points appeal may necessitate player sales, further complicating Murillo’s future.
