De Ligt latest
Matthijs De Ligt’s deal to Man Utd could be back on. Uli Hoeness has confirmed “it’s possible” Bayern Munich could sell the Dutch defender. The Red Devils have already added Leny Yoro to their ranks. And they continue to be linked with Jarrad Branthwaite.
Ugarte deal close
Manchester United have agreed personal terms with Manuel Ugarte, according to Fabrizio Romano. The report claims the midfielder has accepted United’s proposal and agreed personal terms with the club. Negotiations are ongoing with Paris Saint-Germain over a fee, but a deal is not yet close.
Olmo asking price
Dani Olmo will be allowed to leave RB Leipzig for around £50.6million. The Spain midfielder starred for his country in their Euro 2024 win. Man Utd, Arsenal, Man City, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are all said to be interested. Fabrizio Romano adds that a move could happen within the next few weeks.
Arsenal keeper bid
ARSENAL have made a new bid for Wolves keeper Dan Bentley — and hope to clinch the deal. The Gunners are now talking about a move building up to £300,000 for the former Brentford and Bristol City stopper. They have been chasing the 31-year-old for weeks — as SunSport revealed. Wolves want £1million but the clubs are now closer to finding a compromise. Bentley is behind Jose Sa in the pecking order and made just five Premier League appearances last season.
Juve make plan for Sancho
Juventus have plotted a plan to bid for Jadon Sancho. The Old Lady will reportedly raise funds by selling winger Matias Soule to Leicester City for around £21million. They will then use that cash to launch a bid for the Man Utd winger. Caught Offside claim personal terms have been agreed with the player.
Prem clubs chase Euro 2024 star
Arsenal and Spurs are set to enter transfer talks with the agents of Baris Alper Yilmaz. The Turkey forward starred for his country in the Euros. Sabah claim it will cost around £25 million to sign Yilmaz from his club Galatasaray. Yilmaz has been in the capital as he looks to secure a move to the Premier League.
Felix future
Joao Felix’s future is up in the air. He is back at Atletico Madrid, following loans at Chelsea and Barcelona. Aston Villa are reportedly tracking the forward. However, it is former club Benfica who are leading the way, say reports in Portugal.
Real Madrid’s superbox
KYLIAN MBAPPE and Jude Bellingham might be jealous when Real Madrid unveil 300 ‘Super VIP’ tickets – costing fans £210,000 apiece. The “superbox” in the Bernabeu’s £1.5billion revamp includes seating that Real themselves rate as “better” than that for their players. For “ordinary” fans, the special features of the new-look venue include increased capacity from 81k to 85k, retractable roof, 360-degree screen and a nightclub. But for the richest of the ultra-rich supporters, there is a futuristic area that offering some of the most expensive viewing anywhere in the sporting world. Entered via a kaleidoscopic tunnel of illuminated colour, the seats are separate from the rest of the stand – with an unrivalled outlook on the Bernabeu pitch. And if you reckon £210k might be a dream one-off purchase for football-loving multi-millionaires, it’s not that simple!
Toney warning
Anyone who wants to buy Ivan Toney from Brentford has been warned by Thomas Frank he won’t come cheap. Asked if Toney could stay with the Bees, Frank revealed: “You never know. He’s a Brentford player and I would love him to stay. That would give me a very positive challenge. But I haven’t met a coach who doesn’t want as many good players as possible. Right now, Ivan is a Brentford player. I would be more than happy if he stayed with us. He’s a goalscorer and that’s very good to have in your team so if you want to buy him, it’s expensive.”
Rabiot talks
Man Utd are reportedly in talks to sign Adrien Rabiot. Caught Offside say the France international is keen on a move to Old Trafford. However, his agent is also speaking to Barcelona, Real Madrid, Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool. Rabiot is believed to be keen on playing in the Premier League.
De Bruyne ‘agrees’ Saudi contract
Kevin De Bruyne reportedly wants to join Saudi giants All-Ittihad. The Man City playmaker’s contract expires in 2025, and Italian media have claimed he has already agreed terms on a blockbuster move.
De Bruyne hinted last month: “At my age you have to be open to everything. You’re talking about incredible amounts of money in what may be the end of my career. Sometimes you have to think about that. If I play there [Saudi Arabia] for two years, I will be able to earn an incredible amount of money. Before that I had to play football for 15 years. I may not even reach that amount yet. Then you have to think about what that could mean next. But at the moment I haven’t had to think about that yet.”
Onana medical
Amadou Onana has undergone a medical ahead of his move to Aston Villa from Everton. Villa are closing in on the signing of the Belgian midfielder after Manchester United failed in a bid to hijack the deal. According to Sacha Tavolieri, Onana has successfully completed his medical in advance of his £45million transfer. An official announcement is now expected on Monday.
Gunners step up Calafiori chase
Arsenal are accelerating their efforts to sign Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna. The Athletic report that the Gunners are looking to complete the deal as soon as possible. Calafiori, who can play at centre-back and left-back, starred for Bologna last season before impressing at Euro 2024.
