Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and more are open for business with the summer transfer window now officially open.
A new centre-back is high on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's priority list at United with Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly and Leicester's Harry Maguire both options. It won't just be incomings at Old Trafford, however, with Paul Pogba a high-profile target for Real Madrid and Alexis Sanchez on his way out with Inter Milan and Juventus fighting it out for his signature - if he drops his wage demands. Liverpool could be active too as they look to go one better after failing to win the Premier League title by just a single point. Champions Manchester City are always big players in the market and could go big with the prospect of a potential transfer ban looming.
Take a look through the day's transfer news below:
Sancho was United’s number one target for a summer rebuild, and they were willing to pay Borussia Dortmund up to £100million for the 19-year-old.
But United’s recent performances, ending up sixth in the Premier League table, have ended any prospect of a deal. United will be playing Europa League football again next season, entering at the second qualifying round in late July. There are now major reservations on the side of the player whether Old Trafford would be the right environment for his development.
Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain are still interested in signing Sancho, who has been instrumental in taking Dortmund to second place in the Bundesliga this year. They are now weighing up whether to offer the £100m that he would cost.
But the news is a setback for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s hopes to add more young, fast players to United’s squad for next season. They have now turned their attention to Swansea City’s Daniel James.
“It is true we have already made contact,” Valverde said. “It is true that contacts are ongoing, but the season isn't over yet. We have the Copa Del Rey final still to play. We have the chance of winning two titles and we must try to focus on this issue.
“Afterwards we will have time for everything else - we won't say anything new when we are talking about players from other teams. We will see (what happens). He (Griezmann) is a great player. We've always said so.”
A club interested in signing Danny Rose last summer wanted to make sure he was not "crazy", the England defender has revealed in BBC One documentary A Royal Team Talk: Tackling Mental Health.
The Tottenham left-back opened up about his struggles with depression in the build up to the 2018 World Cup, an illness which was triggered by a significant knee injury and the death of a close family member.
In the wake of his revelation, a club interested in signing him insisted they wanted to meet him to check on his mental state.
The potential move fell through, but Rose, who is still angry at the situation, says the unnamed club in question have scuppered any chance of signing him in the future.
