In just a week’s time, the whirlwind of drama surrounding the summer transfer window will finally settle. Deals will have been struck, some won’t have panned out, and clubs will be left navigating the aftermath—either scouring for free agents or biding their time until January.

For me, this phase is always tense, combing through updates while secretly dreading any news about key players departing Luton Town. Despite reassurances from the manager that sales aren’t necessary, the looming threat of an irresistible offer remains.

Today’s headlines whisper more gossip, this time about our standout defender, Teden Mengi. Reports suggest French side RC Lens eyes him, proposing a loan with a compulsory buy clause next year to fill a gap in their squad.

But would the Hatters entertain such terms? Doubtful to say the least.

If Mengi departs before the window shuts, I’d only consider it with a hefty £25 million sum on the table upfront. How about you?
