Leeds United and Chelsea reach agreement over a deal for Ethan Ampadu. Initial fee of around £7m with add-ons attached. Clears the way for a medical and for Ampadu to become the club's first signing of the summer. @TheAthleticFC

Iliman Ndiaye and Olympique Marseille deal could definitely collapse soon. No agreement at this stage so deal is now getting difficult.
#OM Ndiaye could stay at Sheffield. Meanwhile, OM will discuss again with Chelsea about Pierre Aubameyang deal.

Leeds United have knocked back Everton interest in ***** Gnonto and he's due to return to training this week. A lot of departures from Elland Road so far but the advantage Leeds have with Gnonto is that there's no relegation release clause in his deal:

One key point on Álvaro Morata as the interest keeps growing from Inter, Roma and two Saudi clubs — Morata has not given his green light to a single club.
He’s still assessing his options and he’ll decide in the next days, while Atlético want €20m.

Negotiations between Manchester City and RB Leipzig for Joško Gvardiol have not stopped at all — still on.
Understand key point is fixed amount, no problem on add-ons. Leipzig insist on €100m fixed. Gvardiol, pushing to join City after personal terms agreed one month ago.

Interest from Al-Ettifaq in Michail Antonio not at an advanced stage. Unclear if they can pay a fee for Antonio and West Ham unlikely to let him go on a free transfer. But Antonio is in final year of his deal and he is open to leaving West Ham (not alone there…) #whufc

Nottingham Forest open talks with #MUFC over Dean Henderson. David de Gea situation + Andre Onana pursuit had delayed movement but with United close to signing new No 1, Henderson expected to be allowed to go. Negotiations on over price. w/ @nottmtails
Chelsea’s latest verbal offer for Moises Caicedo was £70m guaranteed and it’s understood £5m in add-ons was discussed. It’s been indicated this won’t be accepted, albeit the offer could yet provide a basic framework for a deal.

Caicedo camp will now insist on a move reiterating Brighton must keep their word when he signed a new deal and let him leave for what they consider to be a reasonable bid. A total package of £80m is viewed as more than fair by sources close to Caicedo and #CFC not far off this
@JacobsBen
Sources close to the player also admit Caicedo feels disrespected, and that he believes he should be sold for what is a club record fee. This point will be reiterated directly to Brighton today.
NEW! Fabrizio: "It's time to prepare the opening official bid for Rasmus Hojlund. Man Utd are discussing internally about the bid, and it's something around €70m inc add ons". [YT] Quickly moving on to Hojlund after securing Onana.

Understand Al Ahli submitted first bid for Riyad Mahrez on Monday night. £18m plus £5m add ons proposal has been rejected by Manchester City.
City asked for £30m as correct fee to seal the deal. Al Ahli, increasingly confident to get it done soon.

United could take Dean Henderson on tour after balking at Forest’s first proposal. Club have also received fresh enquiries about Elanga and Maguire #mufc

Exclusive: Manchester United agree final fee with Inter for Andre Onana. Price is €43m plus €4m in add-ons. Talks between clubs completed last night. Onana now set for medical, could be in Manchester or elsewhere. w/ @MarioCortegana#MUFC
| It is understood Nottingham Forest initially proposed another loan deal with an obligation to buy Dean Henderson if he made a certain number of appearances. Offer rejected straight away by United. [@samuelluckhurst]
