Erik ten Hag would like to bring Brian Brobbey to #mufc, but there is a growing feeling at Old Trafford that he is set to make a permanent move to Ajax. [@RobDawsonESPN]
@UtdDistrict
Even if #mufc's move for Brobbey is successful, the club will remain firm in their stance that Ronaldo is not available for a transfer. [@RobDawsonESPN]

Brighton in discussions over improved deal for Marc Cucurella amid Man City interest. Talks at early stage & not due to #MCFC pursuit - more reward for fine season. Contract 2026 so would take major fee to sell. W/ @AndyNaylorBHAFC@TheAthleticUK#BHAFC

Borussia Dortmund have no intention to loan out Gio Reyna. Clear message to the player directly from the board and manager Terzic. #BVB BVB have been approached by many clubs for a loan move but answer was always negative.

Rennes are set to leave negotiations for Samuel Umtiti, as they want to sign Morato from Benfica - been told it’s close. #transfers Barcelona still pushing to sell Umtiti after Lenglét and Manaj. Next outgoing: Trincão to Sporting, €10m for 50% - as per @MatteMoretto.

Raheem Sterling to Chelsea, here we go! Final approval arrived from Man City. £45m fee plus £10m add-ons. Personal terms agreed days ago, it was never an issue. It’s done #CFC
@NickPurewal
Barcelona already testing patience with so many clubs/players but even Raphinha can be added to that list now. Leeds/Raphinha wanted the Brazil forward's transfer resolved before the summer tour. Raphinha still keen to join #ChelseaFC if Barca cannot close Leeds deal in days
@FabrizioRomano
Lazio will pay €10m fee for Luís Maximiano as new goalkeeper. Full agreement in place with Granada, matter of final details to be resolved and then it's completed. #transfers Lazio will sign two goalkeepers as both Pepe Reina and Strakosha left the club.
@FabrizioRomano

Manchester United have still no full agreement with Ajax for Lisandro Martinez. New bid worth €45+5m, not enough yet Ajax want €50m guaranteed - but talks will continue today as Lisandro wants to try Premier League experience this summer. #MUFC
FC Barcelona will officially open talks with Manchester City for Bernardo Silva, once Frenkie De Jong is sold. Mendes & Laporta have agreed to offer less than €100M, paid in 2-3 years. @gbsans []
@FabrizioRomano
Manchester City have not changed their plans: they will sign a new centre back this summer in case Nathan Aké joins Chelsea (at least £40m). Josko Gvardiol, highly rated but Leipzig want to keep him. #MCFC Marc Cucurella, still considered a top target - waiting for the bid.
@FabrizioRomano
Sergio Busquets, approached by MLS clubs for next summer. He’s key part of Xavi project for this season - but there’s still nothing discussed on his contract, currently expiring in June 2023. #FCB
Busquets will 100% stay this season and then could leave next summer.
Barcelona are very clear about its position on the Frenkie de Jong situation: Take a salary cut to stay. — @Luis_F_Rojo
Frenkie de Jong did not like that the negotiations between Barcelona and Manchester United were leaked, nor that his salary was leaked too. Frenkie and his entourage even believe that the club are waging a campaign against the player. — @Luis_F_Rojo
There will be another meeting between Barcelona and Frenkie de Jong soon. The player wants to know the club's plans as there is anger between Frenkie and the club for the way they are handling the situation making him look the bad guy. — @Luis_F_Rojo
Frenkie de Jong will be paid around €21m fixed next season, and around €28m fixed in the 2023/24 season. In addition, the variables of his contract, which could be increased by games played and titles won. He’s also owed €17m from deferred wages during Covid. Barça know they cannot afford Frenkie's contract. — @Luis_F_Rojo
