Premier League clubs being determined to avoid profitability and sustainability sanctions could make it a difficult transfer window for Manchester United and Liverpool this summer.

Top-flight clubs in England are currently walking a tightrope amid the tightened regulations, with both Everton and Nottingham Forest having faced points deductions this season.

Chelsea are also reportedly in a precarious situation, needing to make big-money sales ahead of the 2024/25 campaign to avoid penalties of their own.



Clubs, even the size of United and Liverpool, are on the hunt for low-cost signings to help them comply with the regulations.

As a result, both clubs have shown interest in a move for Fulham defender Tosin Ararabioyo.

According to the Telegraph, the Magpies want to sign both him and Bournemouth's Lloyd Kelly on free deals this summer.

Despite being taken over in 2021, the Tyneside club have been unable to fully benefit from the financial power of the Saudi Public Investment Fund because of their own desire to avoid Premier League penalties.

Therefore, Eddie Howe has also turned his attention to acquiring bargains.

The development could signify a ‘double punishment’ for both United and Liverpool.

Adarabioyo has also been linked with the likes of AC Milan and Marseille, having been free to talk to overseas clubs since January.

He began his career at Manchester City, but after being handed his first senior contract in 2016, would make just eight club appearances in four years amid loan spells at West Brom and Blackburn.
