Transfer news LIVE!
In one of the biggest stories of the summer transfer window - and any transfer window, come to think of it - Lionel Messi been officially unveiled as a PSG player after Barcelona were unable to afford a new contract. There could be trouble on the horizon though, with reports from France suggesting Kylian Mbappe still wants to leave Paris, and will either be sold to Real Madrid this summer or leave for free in 2022.
In another huge deal, Chelsea have re-signed Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan for £97.5m and want to add Sevilla defender Jules Kounde. As for Manchester United, they are set to announce Raphael Varane’s arrival from Real Madrid on Friday to add to the £73m signing of Jadon Sancho.
Elsewhere, Lautaro Martinez has emerged as a target for Arsenal and Tottenham, but Inter’s sale of Lukaku means they are under less pressure to sell. The Harry Kane saga rumbles on, meanwhile, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that Man City are preparing a new £127m bid... but Spurs must be open to selling.
Arsenal have made one big move in £50m Ben White, and want another in the former of Martin Odegaard, with the Gunners now having entered into early talks with Real Madrid. They are also looking to sign Aaron Ramsdale in a deal worth £30m.
Liverpool, meanwhile, want to sign Belgian forward Jeremy Doku from Rennes as they also battle Barcelona for Renato Sanches, while Tottenham are being linked with Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse and Fiorentina star Dusan Vlahovic.
