Transfer news, rumours LIVE: Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham latest and football gossip

Welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE blog dedicated to the latest transfer news, rumours and gossip.

Manchester United face a long, expensive summer, and Ajax captain Matthijs de Ligt's remains unresolved.

The 19-year-old centre-back has looked odds-on for a move to Barcelona, but United had reportedly given De Ligt an offer that is 'too good to turn down' - though reports surfacing now suggest that the Ajax star could well be on his way to Camp Nou.

The Red Devils are after another young European superstar in Joao Felix, but Benfica have warned that anybody who wants their crown jewel will have to pay his full £105m release clause.

Sticking with United, the Express reports that Juventus are set to offer Paulo Dybala and Alex Sandro in an exchange deal for Paul Pogba - that could tempt many a United fan.

And since we're on Juventus already, Italian journalist Tancredi Palmieri stats that Chelsea coach Maurizio Sarri has agreed to become the Italian champions' new manager - but not before Pep Guardiola rejected the Bianconeri three times since March.

Elsewhere, The Times reports that Everton want to seal an £18m deal for Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes following his loan spell on Merseyside, while the Mail reports that Liverpool have enquired about Fluminense's 17-year-old sensation Joao Pedro - who looks set to join Watford.

We’ll bring you today's football gossip and the latest from Arsenal, Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, West Ham, Man City, Barcelona, Real Madrid and more over the course of the window…

The 2018-19 Premier League season may be over, but the fun is just beginning as clubs start to ramp up their plans for what promises to be a huge summer transfer window.

Manchester City and Liverpool ensured the title race went to the final day of the season - with Pep Guardiola's side the eventual champions - and both clubs will surely be active as they bid to maintain their dominance over the chasing pack.

Chelsea finished the season well, but things could get more difficult though as the Blues face a two-window Fifa transfer ban as well as the prospect of losing Eden Hazard to Real Madrid.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to rebuild a bloated Manchester United squad lacking quality after a sixth-placed finish. Mauricio Pochettino, meanwhile, is basking in the glow of reaching the Champions League Final with Tottenham, though the coach has warned Spurs that he could leave unless they make signings.

Arsenal missed out on a top-four finish, but their summer plans will largely depend on whether the Gunners beat Chelsea in the Europa League Final to qualify for the Champions League.
