Arsenal are planning to try again for Raphinha this week. Chelsea too are thinking about it. Barcelona are relatively destitute at this stage. A busy week ahead.

🚨 Manchester United are on the verge of agreeing a deal with Barcelona for Frenkie de Jong.

Hugo Ekitike deal. No changes for Newcastle, no intention to proceed at current conditions on player side after fee agreed weeks ago. Deal off, as things stand. ⛔️⚪️

PSG are interested in Ekitike. Luís Campos, big fan - but still no bid. It also depends on the outgoings.

Re-cast

Tyrell Malacia agents are in direct contact with Manchester United to discuss personal terms. Proposal has been sent, after today’s exclusive update on OL deal hijacked. 🔴🇳🇱

Key hours ahead after full agreement between Man Utd and Feyenoord for €15m plus €2m add ons.

Kalidou Koulibaly, one more name in the list for Chelsea as they keep searching for two centre backs. He’s out of contract with Napoli in 2023. 🔵

Been told there are conversations also on Koulibaly alongside de Ligt, Aké, Koundé. Focus on Raphinha, and then centre backs.

Manchester United are very interested in Lisandro Martínez, but have not yet made an official offer. Arsenal have improved their bid to €40m plus €5m bonuses, but Ajax have not responded yet. Martínez is happy in Holland but is seduced by the Premier League. #MUFC [@CLMerlo]

🚨 Tottenham are hopeful of agreeing fee with Everton for Richarlison within the next 24 hours. The Toffees ideally need to complete it before the FFP deadline tomorrow. 🇧🇷
