Manchester United have opened talks with free-agent Edinson Cavani over a potential move to the club, a report from The Daily Mail claims.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is said to be keen on bolstering the attack before the transfer deadline on Monday and so far, they are not close to signing anyone.

It has now emerged that the Mancunian giants have opened discussions with Cavani, who is out-of-contract after leaving Paris Saint-Germain at the end of June. Cavani has been linked with the likes of Atl...

‘It’s true’, Ronald Koeman confirms Barcelona are interested in signing £27m-rated centre-back
Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has acknowledged that the club are looking to land the services of Eric Garcia from Manchester City before Monday’s transfer deadline. Garcia made his debut for the Cityzens last term and he has since made only 11 starts for the club across all competitions. He has declined the opportunity to sign a new deal beyond June 2021 and this has increased the speculation regarding his future. Earlier on Friday, Pep Guardiola admitted that Garcia wants to return to the Blaugrana, where he spent nine years in the youth ranks. Koeman has now confirmed that the Blaugrana are indeed interested in Garcia, but he is unsure whether the club can get a deal over the line. “It’s true we want Eric Garcia here. I’ve seen Pep’s comments and that’s how it is,” He told in a press conf...

Fulham are hoping to convince Jean-Clair Todibo to join them on a permanent basis from Barcelona before the international transfer window closes on Monday, Fabrizio Romano reports.

However, the Catalan giants are said to prefer a permanent sale instead as they aim to recoup funds which could help them sign Eric Garcia from Manchester City in the next couple of days. As things stand, the Cottagers are lagging behind the Toffees’ in the player’s pursuit, but Romano reports that the west London outfit are hopeful of securing the defender’s signature on a long-term deal. Meanwhile, Sampdoria’s Omar Colle...
Report: Spurs’ main target with Skriniar deal off is German, he prefers them to Barca
According to The Athletic, Chelsea centre-back Antonio Rudiger is Tottenham Hotspur’s main target with a move for Inter Milan star Milan Skriniar all but over. Spurs head coach Jose Mourinho wants to strengthen his backline before Monday’s transfer deadline, and while he is keen on the Slovakian, Inter’s demands are putting his side off. With just three days left in the summer transfer window, Tottenham can’t afford to waste precious time and are ready to make a move for Rudiger. The Chelsea star hasn’t kicked a ball for Frank Lampard’s side this season and he is clearly not in the manager’s plans. While the likes of AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma and Barcelona have also expressed an interest in the Germany international, Tottenham are Rudiger’s preferred destination. However, the Stamford Br...

Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers are interested in signing Muhamed Besic from Everton in the summer transfer window, according to Sportske.ba. It has been reported that Rangers are planning to make a move for the 28-year-old defensive midfielder before the window closes on Monday.

Report: Tottenham have asked about signing 27-yr-old Premier League ace
Are interested in signing the Chelsea centre back Antonio Rudiger. The 27 year old German international seems to have fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge and he could do with a move away from the club this summer. Chelsea have signed Sarr, Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell to improve their back four so far. Tottenham need to add more depth to their defensive unit and root eagle should prove to be a quality addition. According to Nicolo Schira, Tottenham have asked about a potential loan deal and it will be interesting to see if Chelsea are willing to accept such an offer. AC Milan are keen on signing the German defender as well. If Chelsea decide to loan him out, it would be a superb bit of business from Tottenham who will be able to sign an established Premier League defender wit...
Report: West Ham have submitted a bid for 24-yr-old Croatian today
West Ham United have submitted a bid for the Croatian defender Duje Caleta-Car. According to GFFN, the 24 year old would be available this summer but West Ham’s offer is thought to be way off the required asking price. It will be interesting to see if the Hammers improve their offer for the Marseille defender in the coming hours. There is no doubt that the Hammers need to improve at the back if they want to secure a respectable finish in the Premier League this season. David Moyes needs to bring in a quality long-term partner for Issa Diop and the 24 year old Croatian certainly fits the profile. A move to the Premier League would be the ideal next step in Caleta-Car’s career and he is likely to be tempted to make the move. West Ham United certainly have the resources to pull off a signing ...
Report: Newcastle make enquiry for talented young French attacker
Newcastle are interested in improving their attacking options before the transfer window closes. According to GFFN, they are keen on signing Mathias Phaeton from EA Guingamp. The 20-year-old attacker is highly rated in France and he has a big future ahead of him. His signing could prove to be a quality long-term investment for the Premier League side. Newcastle have Callum Wilson, Andy Carroll and Joelinton as their strikers this season and the 20-year-old attacker from Guingamp is unlikely to start regularly for them anytime soon. He could join up with the club’s youth team for now and make his first-team appearances in the Cup games. If Newcastle can groom him properly, they could have a future star on their hands. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle can agree on a fee with the Fr...
