Live updates

Tchouameni stance revealed

Aurelien Tchouameni is happy at Real Madrid, but if his situation were to change, he would end up at Manchester United.

Andy Mitten reports that the Frenchman is not desperate to leave the Santiago Bernabeu, but he has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford should he depart in search of more regular first-team football.

New boss Jose Mourinho is eyeing more midfield signings that could limit Tchouameni’s game time.

Neymar rejects MLS move

Neymar will not be moving to FC Cincinnati after talks slowed.

The Athletic report that the Brazilian veteran, currently playing at this summer’s World Cup, was frustrated at how negotiations were not progressing, despite being keen to sign for the franchise.

Real prepare opening Fernandez bid

R eal Madrid are preparing to submit their opening official bid to Chelsea for Enzo Fernández, Nico Schira claims.

The Argentine is believed to have already reached an agreement with the Spanish club over personal terms, with a contract running until 2032.

Forest want Bergvall to replace Anderson

Nottingham Forest are expected to step up their pursuit of Lucas Bergvall following Eliott Anderson’s £116million sale to Manchester City.

Bergvall is keen to leave Tottenham in search of more regular first-team minutes, with Spurs valuing the player at £45m.

The Athletic report that Bergvall is Forest’s first-choice target to replace Anderson, and are now flush with cash after City paid the full fee up front.

Arsenal's first £55m bid for Bruno Guimaraes rejected

Breaking news out of Brazil claim that Arsenal have seen a first bid for Bruno Guimaraes rejected.

The offer is said to be worth £55million, which could appear to match unconfirmed reports of a £60m release clause.

Brazilian publication Globo report that Arsenal have already indicated that a second bid will come.

The negotiations are being led by Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta, who has long admired Bruno Guimaraes.

Berta tried to sign the midfielder in 2020 when he was at Atletico Madrid.

Globo add that the player is aware of Arsenal's interest and trying to remain detached from the negotiations in order to stay focused on the World Cup.

Real Madrid to activate Nico Paz clause

Real Madrid will exercise their £6.5m buy-back option for Como’s Nico Paz.

Madrid will then offer Paz to Como for around £51.7m per the terms of his contract. However, if Como pass, his price will be increase.

Clubs like Tottenham were interested in the midfielder last summer, and saw a £60m rejected, and may enter the market for him again.

Onana to re-join Trabzonspor

Andre Onana is set to re-join Trabzonspor on loan according to Turkish football journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu.

The 30-year-old fell out of favour at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim and spent last season on-loan at the Turkish club.

Now, Sabuncouglu is reporting Onana is set to return.

His United contract ends in two years, so expect another deal - loan or permanent - in a year’s time as they look to move the Cameroonian on.

Victor Munoz reveals Iraola role in snubbing Newcastle

Victor Munoz has revealed that a conversation with Andoni Iraola convinced him to join Liverpool instead of Newcastle.

Munoz, last week, became the first Liverpool signing of the summer transfer window after sealing a move from LaLiga side Osasuna in a deal worth a reported £34.5million.

Confirmation of the transfer came as somewhat of a surprise to many, with Newcastle said to have reached an agreement with both the player and Osasuna before being hijacked by their Premier League rivals at the 11th hour.

Speaking to Spanish outlet Cadena SER after completing his move to Liverpool, Munoz has explained how Iraola convinced him to perform a u-turn and make the switch to Anfield.
