Summer Transfer Window

[jackaway]

The old season has gone, hail to the new season.
Here you’ll find the speculation and rumours, the ins and outs of the playing squad as we build for the future and the season ahead.
New owners, new Chairman, new Manager, now all we need are the new players!

Five departing confirmed

So, Cyrus Christie, Jon Maclaughlin, Kristian Peterson departing alongside Joe Allen and Kyle Naughton so far.
Then you’ve got loanees Delcroix and O’Brien returning to their clubs and Darling packing his bags, that’s 8 players.

The summer transfer window will open Thursday 12 June 2025 and close on Friday 29 August 2025

SportExpressen is saying that Swansea are closing in on signing 22 year-old Swedish winger Zeidane Inoussa from BK Hacken.
The price tag is said to be around €6 million.

Joe Low, 22 year old Wycombe centre-back, is out of contract in the summer. Due to his age he can’t leave Wycombe for free if he rejects a new Wycombe contract, a compensation fee will be due.

Joe Low was only on the subs bench yesterday for the Wycombe v Charlton play-off semi final first leg 0-0 draw.
Maybe they’re resigned to losing him whether they get promoted or not as he’s out of contract next month.
With Darling stalling on his latest and final contract offer and Swans losing patience with him, Birmingham and Wrexham (yes Wrexham!) are hovering. Therefore we’ll need two centre-backs with Delcroix having returned to Burnley.
I don’t like players holding us to ransom, and Darling, with his convenient injury last two games, can go as far as I’m concerned.
Lesson to be learned, don’t let key players run down their contract, sell while they still have some value.

Conflicting reports of us making a 600k bid for Lincoln midfielder Ethan Erhahon which has been turned down.
Swans Indi says no bid at all has been made.
There will be plenty of speculation and rumours this summer just to make news headlines. Best to wait until we see a player holding up the Swans shirt to know for sure they’ve signed.

Zeidane Inoussa done deal

With Valencia reported to be wanting to sign O’Brien our chances seem slim of getting him back if their interest is genuine.
Carlos Corberan, who left West Brom to take charge of Valencia, knows O’Brien from their Huddersfield days.

Signing number three

Looks as if Wales goes straight into the first team squad.
Sheehan:
“it is very pleasing to bring another talented attacking player into our squad”
”….. provides us with further competition in the final third of the pitch”

Las Palmas relegated. Ex-Nott Forest centre-back Scott McKenna and ex-Swans/ Sheff Utd striker Oli McBurnie available, but probably beyond our wage limits -

There are clubs with more financial clout than us waiting in the wings if McBurnie does decide to return. He has another two years left on his contract and loves the lifestyle out there apparently.
He doesn’t have a very good goal scoring record at relegated Las Palmas, with just three goals, and one game of the season left.
