Transfer news LIVE keeps you up to date with all the most recent developments from the summer market, including all the completed transactions, new developments, and rumors in general.
As the club continues to put the finishing touches on Rasmus Hojlund’s move to Old Trafford, Manchester United is not anticipated to formally announce his £72 million signing until the weekend. The Atalanta striker, 20, finished Wednesday’s medical examinations, but there are still some formalities to be taken care of regarding his contract and VISA before the transfer is finalized.
Nevertheless, when Erik ten Hag’s team plays Lens on Saturday in their final preseason match before the start of the new Premier League season, United supporters can be counted on to welcome Hojlund to Old Trafford.
While Ten Hag is also trying to get rid of some of the deadwood within his squad, there is still a strong possibility that more new faces will join before the transfer deadline of September 1.
Following the news that Brighton has received a shocking mystery bid for Moises Caicedo, we can also anticipate movement at Chelsea. More details on that are provided in the transfer blog down below.
In the market, Tottenham is also as active as ever, and Liverpool may make more moves as they continue to pursue the signing of Romeo Lavia.
Caicedo is not on Liverpool’s radar.
According to reporter David Lynch, Liverpool is not one of the unidentified bidders who have submitted a bid for Moises Caicedo.
Before the transfer deadline, the Reds want one, possibly two midfielders, but Caicedo is not on their radar.
Instead, as Southampton makes an effort to maintain their position, they will keep after Romeo Lavia.
Earlier this week, an unnamed club made an undisclosed offer for Caicedo to Brighton. It was flatly rejected.
Goncalo Ramos could sign with PSG.
For a little under £70 million, Paris Saint-Germain is in advanced talks to acquire Goncalo Ramos from Benfica.
As the clubs continue to negotiate, about £13 million of that sum will be made up by add-ons.
The transfer is reportedly being discussed by super-agent Jorge Mendes.
Rasmus Hojlund, who turned down a transfer to PSG, was chosen by Manchester United over Ramos, who was also considered.
City accept the Gvardiol deal for £77.6 million.
Manchester City and RB Leipzig center-back Josko Gvardiol have finally reached a £77.6 million agreement.
Prior to the start of the new season, the 21-year-old defender is anticipated to have a medical in England later this week.
If the transactions go through, Mateo Kovacic, a teammate from abroad, and Gvardiol would be paired up at the Etihad.
The transfer has dragged on in part because Dinamo Zagreb is entitled to 20% of the sale, which is one of the reasons.
Chelsea give Adams’ move some thought.
In light of Brighton’s continued obstructionist tactics regarding Moises Caicedo, Chelsea is considering acquiring Tyler Adams from Leeds United.
In his current contract at Elland Road, the Leeds man is rumored to have a £20 million release clause.
The USMNT midfielder is also being pursued by Aston Villa.
Chelsea is also rethinking their interest in Edson Alvarez of Ajax.
Three transactions involving Tottenham are about to be finalized.
Tottenham is moving forward in the transfer market as they work to complete the signings of their sixth, seventh, and eighth players for Ange Postecoglou.
First up, defender Ashley Phillips, a young Blackburn Rovers player, is about to move to north London for a base fee of £2 million with a potential add-on value of £6 million.
But Micky van de Ven’s arrival at Wolfsburg has also resulted in a breakthrough.
Personal terms have already been agreed upon, and a fee of around £30 million with the Bundesliga club is almost ready to be finalized.
Alejo Veliz of Rosario Central is being courted by Tottenham as well.
In the Primera Division of Argentina, the 19-year-old has netted 11 goals in 23 games after doing so eight times in 32 games in 22.
Veliz might transfer in the January transfer window if Rosario is prepared to sign a contract for the end of 2023.
Man United want a surprise £13 million striker.
Marcos Leonardo, a center-forward for Santos, has been linked to a shocking £13 million move to Manchester United.
The Red Devils are reportedly interested in signing the 29-year-old, according to Italian outlet Calciomercato, who also claims that Ten Hag’s team is trying to persuade him to join the Premier League.
Roma has already had a bid for the Brazilian rejected by Santos.
Also rumored to be competing for his signature are Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest.
Chelsea is shook by a mysterious Caicedo offer.
The news that Brighton turned down a mysterious record bid for Moises Caicedo has shocked Chelsea.
The proposal is reportedly superior to Chelsea’s most recent one, which was worth £80 million but was flatly turned down.
Despite Caicedo signing a new, long-term contract at the start of the season, Brighton is still demanding a £100 million transfer fee.
Although it is unknown if they were the side that bid, an unnamed Saudi Arabian club is thought to have made a bid for the Ecuadorian maestro.
