The Premier League’s summer transfer window is open with Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal set to be busier than ever.
Liverpool enjoyed success in the Champions League this year and their quest to end their league title drought in 2019 will be bolstered by the arrival of Naby Keita from RB Leipzig. He will not be the last new face on Merseyside, however, with Monaco's Fabinho already in. Lyon's Nabil Fekir won't be next, however, after a dramatic u-turn. At United Jose Mourinho looks set to spend big again as he targets reinforcements in his bid to haul in record-breaking Manchester City next season. A new left-back and central midfield player are high on his list with a big money move for Real Madrid's Gareth Bale not out the question. Could Cristiano Ronaldo join him?
For the first time in over two decades Arsenal head into the offseason with a new manager at the helm. That man is former PSG boss Unai Emery after a stunning 11th hour change of heart at the Emirates and he already has one new signing and more on the way. Chelsea could well be looking for a new manager themselves but across London Mauricio Pochettino won't be leaving Tottenham Hotspur after signing a new five-year deal.
We will have all the latest news, views, rumours, gossip and done deals right here so don't touch that dial.
Live Updates
Chelsea have finally made progress in pursuit of a new boss, with Maurizio Sarri's camp now increasingly confident he will get the job, although a lot of work still has to be done to conclude the deal.
Macedonian agent Fali Ramadani is due to speak to Napoli this weekend, to try and bring things, and finally break what has been a complicated and extreme stand-off, involving a lot of brinkmanship.
It is widely known that Antonio Conte will leave this summer, but the terms of that have not yet been agreed, even though owner Roman Abramovich now sees Sarri as by far his number-one choice, with the Italian still contracted to Napoli even though they themselves have secured Carlo Ancelotti as his replacement.
The key could be Chelsea agreeing a deal with the Serie A club for Sarri, even though that may involve a hefty release clause, but this is what Ramadani is trying to push through and there is now a feeling it could happen. Sources close to the situation estimate there is still a week's work to do.
Manchester United are confident that David De Gea will this summer sign a new contract that will effectively keep him at Old Trafford for the best years of his career.
Although the 27-year-old’s current real runs out next year and his time at United has had the constant threat of interest from Real Madrid, the goalkeeper - a repeat winner of the club’s player of the year - is hugely content in the north-west.
Discussions have progressed to the point where all parties feel De Gea will imminently agree a new five-year deal.
