Transfer news LIVE!

The summer transfer window has entered its final stretch with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United among the clubs still working hard on getting deals over the line ahead of Monday’s deadline. The Gunners have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Piero Hincapie, although any move for the Bayer Leverkusen defender hinges on Jakub Kiwior joining Porto.

Liverpool remain keen on breaking the British transfer record to sign Alexander Isak and there appears to be fresh developments on that front amid talk of a £120million bid being prepared. Also on the Premier League champions’ radar is Marc Guehi and the Reds are now said to be willing to pay close to Crystal Palace’s asking price to land the defender.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are believed to be closing in on a deal for Alejandro Garnacho and have made contact for Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez. The latter means the Blues could miss out on Xavi Simons thus leaving the door open for Tottenham to swoop as they plan to make two more signings. Expect plenty of movement at Man Utd as imminent sales could fund a move for a new midfielder. Follow the latest transfer news, gossip and rumours live below!

Chelsea keeping an eye on Isak situation

While Chelsea are in talks with Bayern Munich to sell Nicolas Jackson, they are waiting to see what happens with Alexander Isak.

No, not because the Blues are interested in signing the Sweden international but rather they could receive an offer from Newcastle if Isak is sold to Liverpool.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano said: “Chelsea are waiting to see what happens in the Isak saga with Liverpool before deciding what they want to do with Nicolas Jackson.

“Chelsea want to make sure they don’t have any better opportunities before saying okay, you can go on loan to Bayern.”

Palace in talks for Nelson

Crystal Palace are in talks with Arsenal over a deal for Reiss Nelson.

Nelson had been on Fulham’s radar having spent last term on loan at Craven Cottage, but Marco Silva’s side have moved on to other targets.

Now, reports claim that Nelson is a target for the Eagles, who are still looking to strengthen their squad in the wake of Eberechi Eze’s departure.

Pino set for Crystal Palace medical

Villarreal winger Yeremy Pino will undergo a medical with Crystal Palace today, writes Sam Tabuteau.

Standard Sport understands that a deal worth around £21million, plus add-ons, has been agreed between the two clubs, and Pino will sign a five-year contract.

The 22-year-old has made over 150 appearances for Villarreal since his debut in 2020.

Pino contributed four goals and seven assists as Villarreal finished fifth last season and will add creativity to Palace’s side following the departure of Eberechi Eze to Arsenal.

Pino, who plays predominantly on the right wing, has 15 caps for Spain, scoring three times.

Milan want Nkunku

AC Milan have become the latest team to show an interest in Chelsea midfielder Christopher Nkunku.

The Frenchman is surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and had been linked with a move to Bayern Munich as well as a return to former club RB Leipzig.

Milan, according to Sky Sports, are ready to swoop in but will be aware that the Blues want a permanent deal for Nkunku and value him at £43million.

Isak to Liverpool latest

The transfer saga of the summer will be resolved this time next week.

But for now, the latest is that Alexander Isak remains keen on a move to Liverpool.

However, for any move to happen, Newcastle are insisting that two forwards must be signed

Chelsea close to Garnacho agreement

An agreement between Manchester United and Chelsea for Alejandro Garnacho is close.

That is according to the Daily Telegraph.

The Blues have tracked the Argentine for the entire summer, and the paper suggests that a fee between £35million and £40million could be enough to get United to sell.

The Red Devils were believed to not want to budge on their £50m of the winger.

Arsenal get Hincapie boost

While Arsenal are yet to agree a deal with Bayer Leverkusen for Piero Hincapie, it would appear the Bundesliga outfit are already planning for life without the defender.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Leverkusen have started identifying potential replacements.

One is thought to be Sven Botman. However, any deal will be difficult as Newcastle have no plans to cash in on the Dutchman.

Hojlund ‘ready to leave’ Man Utd

Further negotiations are expected tomorrow to push through Rasmus Hojlund’s departure from Manchester United.

Di Marzio reports that Napoli are in advanced talks to sign the Dane on loan with an obligation to buy, with the striker waiting for the green light to travel to Italy.

Man Utd could rival Chelsea for Fermin Lopez

Manchester United could rival Chelsea for Fermin Lopez.

Standard Sport understands that the Blues have made the Barcelona midfielder a target ahead of Monday’s summer transfer window deadline. Reports in Spain claim that Barcelona are considering a first bid for Fermin worth €50million (£43.2m).

Cadena COPE report that Barcelona sporting director Deco is ready to sanction a sale, but for no less than €70m (£60.4m).

Ruben Amorim has reportedly shown an interest in Fermin. United are said to have explored a deal for the player earlier in the window and reports in Spain claim interest remains.

Simons ‘open’ to joining Spurs

Xavi Simons is ‘open’ to joining Tottenham.

Ben Jacobs suggests that although he prefers a move to Chelsea, the Dutchman would welcome a switch to Thomas Frank’s Spurs.
