Pompey rivals to hijack Rangers deal as duo plot move for in-demand Aston Villa ace.
The most recent transfer news involving Pompey’s Championship opponents.
The transfer window is only a few days away, and Pompey is expected to have another busy close season.
The market will be open for ten days, starting on Sunday and closing for six days on June 10. The shutters will be removed on June 16, allowing clubs to conduct business until the deadline of September 1.
There will be lots of activity at Fratton Park during the window, with both incomings and outgoings planned.
Transfer speculations and speculation are flowing throughout the Championship as the market prepares to open this weekend.
Birmingham City and Derby County are vying to recruit Aston Villa star Louie Barry.
According to GiveMeSport, the 21-year-old is open for another loan move this summer, raising concerns among Championship clubs.
The former Barcelona youth star had a strong start to the season with Stockport in League One, scoring 16 goals in 28 games.
After being recalled in January, the attacking midfielder joined Hull City on loan but made only four appearances before sustaining a season-ending injury in February.
Now Barry is set for another temporary move away from Villa Park, with Birmingham and Derby leading the pursuit for the young talent, who is also being reportedly eyed by Coventry and West Brom.
After joining Aston Villa in 2021, the Baggies youth product has spent loan spells with Ipswich, Swindon, MK Dons, Salford, Stockport and Hull as he continues his first-team development.
Baggies battle for Bello
West Brom are reportedly in the hunt for LASK defender George Bello, according to Football Insider.
The Baggies are reported to be interested in the left-back, who is said to be valued at £1m by the Austrian team.
The article claims Scottish Premiership side Rangers have been long-time admirers of the 23-year-old, having monitored his growth for the past three years and are now ready to make a move.
However, West Brom are hoping to make a move for Bello this summer, as he enters the final year of his contract.
The search for Tony Mowbray’s successor at the Hawthorns continues, with Pompey manager John Mousinho previously linked with the position. The Blues’ head coach later dismissed any links and remained dedicated to the Fratton Park project.

Sheffield United are the latest team to enter the competition to capture Coventry City’s Jack Rudoni.
According to EFL Analysis, the Blades are interested in signing the much sought-after 23-year-old from Sky Blues this summer.
Newcastle United, Southampton, and Leicester City have all expressed interest in the attacking midfielder, according to reports.
Rudoni scored nine goals and added 12 assists in his debut season with Frank Lampard’s side, which finished fifth in the Championship.
The former AFC Wimbledon player faced Pompey twice and helped Jamie Paterson score a late goal against Mousinho’s team in a 1-0 victory in April.
