The summer transfer window has brought a positive start for fans of Charlton Athletic, with three new signings already secured under manager Nathan Jones. Luke Berry and Will Mannion joined for free from Luton Town and Cambridge United, while Josh Edwards was signed from Dunfermline Athletic for an undisclosed fee.
However, the club is also facing interest in their own players, with striker Alfie May attracting attention after an impressive season. Huddersfield Town has already had a bid rejected for the 30-year-old, but reports suggest they may return with an improved offer.
The recent sale of Jack Rudoni to Coventry City has provided Huddersfield with significant funds, potentially increasing the pressure on Charlton to sell May. With the striker entering the final year of his contract, there is a risk of losing him for free if a deal is not reached this summer.
Losing May would be a major setback for Charlton, especially as they aim for promotion in Jones’ first full season in charge. The prospect of May joining a direct rival like Huddersfield, who are also aiming for promotion from League One, adds to the concern.
The connection between May and Huddersfield’s new manager, Michael Duff, who previously coached the striker at Cheltenham, raises fears that a move to the Terriers could see him thrive once again.
As Charlton navigate the summer transfer window, the potential loss of May to a competitor like Huddersfield looms large, casting a shadow over their promotion ambitions.
