#Benfica Personal terms agreed until June 2026 and Inter open to sell João - lawyers now at work to understand if possible despite the clause in the old contract with Sporting.

Lazio are working to complete Felipe Anderson deal with West Ham after talks opened few days ago. Free transfer, so West Ham could save his salary + receive a future sale percentage
#WHUFC Former Napoli left back Elseid Hysaj is also set to join Lazio as free agent. @SkySport
Borussia Dortmund has shown interest in Marcel Sabitzer from RB Leipzig, who's allowed to leave the club due to release clause of €20M. Marco Rose is said to be a big fan of the Austrian. #BVB@SPORTBILD
@MattWoosie #CPFC set to sign Michael Olise from Reading as they start the overhaul of their squad this summer. Have tracked the 19-year-old for some time, and were keen in January, but now look to have secured his signing
@dermotmcorrigan
In 19-20 Barca had Liga's largest salary cap: €671m. Last year it was €347m. Next season will be €160m, unless players sold and wages cut to make up difference. Which is why Laporta's work only beginning...

Amortisation of players signed by the previous board alone adds up to €144m already - even selling those players, or letting them leave for free, won't take away the requirement within La Liga's FFP rules.
@dermotmcorrigan
So either Barca rake in around €200m in player sales, or Messi agrees to play for (basically) free. There really does seem no other option.
@berger_pj #BVB want to extend Mats Hummels’ contract, as WAZ reported. The 32-yo defender is keen too. There have been good talks between Borussia and @matshummels before EUROs. No final decision yet but very likely it’ll happen. New deal would run til 2023 with 1-year-option.
@FabrizioRomano
Arsenal are still confident and working to complete the agreement with Brighton for Ben White on a permanent deal - personal terms already agreed.
#AFC Still some detail to be completed for Saliba [NO buy option] to OM on loan. Lokonga, here we go - deal at final stages.
— @FabrizioRomano: "Rennes would be open to negotiate for around €30m-35m for Camavinga as he will be out of contract next year and Rennes want to make a profit. #mufc are progressing with contacts. Camavinga would love to join Premier League" #mujournal [@podcastherewego]

Asmir Begovic could leave Bournemouth on a free transfer this summer. Many clubs interested - Genoa made him a proposal on a two years contract.
