Thanks for following our coverage of today's transfer news.

We'll be back tomorrow with much more as Premier League teams continue to strengthen their squads.

The transfer window opened on Friday, meaning clubs can now confirm deals.

Come back tomorrow to see what business your team are completing.

Kevin De Bruyne could lead a Manchester City exodus this summer, the Mirror reports.

The midfielder has admitted that he would be tempted by the riches of the Saudi Pro League.

City are reportedly fighting to keep a number of their key players despite winning the Premier League for a fourth year in a row.

Alessandro Bastoni has scored for Italy at Euro 2024.

The centre-back headed home after Albania had gone 1-0 ahead inside 25 seconds in Dortmund.

Bastoni was widely linked with Tottenham a couple of years ago.

Could Spurs attempt to sign him again this summer?

Ange Postecoglou may feel he needs another defender.

Manchester United have been busy over the past few weeks.

Despite not making a signing, minority owners INEOS are keen to improve Erik ten Hag's squad after retaining the Dutchman.

Wide-ranging reports claim that a £35m bid is set to be made for Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite.

Everton will reject the offer outright, although United will likely make further attempts to sign the youngster.

There is also interest from United in Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise.

The transfer window opened on Friday, with clubs now able to confirm their new signings.

Several Premier League teams need replenishing ahead of the new season.

Let us know in the comments who you want your team to sign.

Brighton have confirmed the appointment of Fabian Hurzeler.

The 31-year-old has been hired from St. Pauli and will become the Premier League's youngest-ever head coach.

Premier League teams will be keeping a close eye on Euro 2024 over the next month.

Several players will be hoping to stand out in a bit to earn a move to England.

Chelsea are reportedly ‘unsure’ about completing a £40m deal for Jhon Duran.

The Blues are reported to have agreed a fee with Aston Villa and held talks with the forward’s representatives.

However, the Guardian report that Chelsea are completing further background checks on Duran.

They are supposedly ‘unsure’ on formally giving the move the green light.

Chelsea have already completed the free transfer of defender Tosin Adarabioyo, who has left West London rivals Fulham.

Arsenal have reportedly registered their interest in Everton midfielder Amadou Onana.

According to the Liverpool ECHO, Everton are seeking around £50m to part ways with the Belgian midfielder.

The Gunners made contact on Friday as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his engine room.

Liverpool have had no contact with Al-Nassr about Virgil van Dijk, according to reports.

Some claims earlier this week suggested that the Saudi Pro League side had opened talks about a summer transfer.

But the Liverpool ECHO report that club sources insist that no discussions have taken place and they are planning for next season with Van Dijk.

Manchester United have reportedly seen their Jarrad Branthwaite bid rejected by Everton, as expected.

HITC claim that the Toffees want around £80m for their prized asset, but United's initial offer was £35m plus £8m in add-ons.

Branthwaite has agreed personal terms with the Red Devils but there is still plenty of work to do to agree a fee.

Leny Yoro favours a summer switch to Real Madrid amid interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.

Express Sport understands an unnamed Premier League club has been unsuccessful with a £42m bid for the 18-year-old centre-back.

That's because he has made it clear he wants Real and hopes they can strike a deal with Lille.

There is thought to be some apprehension in Yoro's camp about moving to the Premier League at such a young age.

Manchester City have identified Girona striker Artem Dovbyk as a potential replacement for Erling Haaland if he leaves the club in the future.

Dovbyk shone for Girona - part of the City Football Group - last season, finishing as La Liga's top goalscorer.

According to HITC, Atletico Madrid are in talks to sign the 26-year-old. However, CFG want to insert a buy-back clause in his contract to allow them to swoop if Haaland departs.

Tottenham Hotspur have been backed to pay the £60million it would reportedly take to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze.

Former Spurs defender Alan Hutton has hailed Eze and believes Daniel Levy would have no qualms with making him a marquee summer addition.

"He just goes out and plays with a smile on his face, he plays with a lot of freedom, and he's got so much attacking quality," Hutton explained.

"He can score goals, he can assist, these are the type of guys you need, and he's been rewarded for his good form by being picked for the England squad.

"I think he could go and be a shining star, so £60million is right. You look at some of the prices that are getting banded around now for players that aren't as good, so I can understand that.

"If he's going to be available for that price, I think Levy will spend it."

Arsenal are keen on Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams this summer, according to reports.

The 21-year-old caught the attention of Europe's biggest clubs last season, registering eight goals and 17 assists in 37 games.

Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have all been linked with swoops for the Spain international, who has a £42m release clause in his contract.

Football London claim Edu and Mikel Arteta believe he fits into Arsenal's transfer model.

Jose Mourinho and Victor Lindelof are reportedly mutually interested in a reunion at Fenerbahce this summer.

Lindelof was brought to Manchester United by Mourinho but looks set to slip down Erik ten Hag's pecking order during the transfer window.

According to Turkish outlet Fotomac, Lindelof has grown 'bored' of his situation at Old Trafford and is keen to reunite with his old boss.

Fenerbahce are said to expect to finalise a deal worth around £7m for the Swedish defender.

Chelsea reportedly have reservations about a pursuit of Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran due to questions about his attitude.

The 20-year-old has emerged as a summer target for Enzo Maresca, and Villa are ready to cash in on him.

But the Guardian claim that Chelsea are conducting background checks after Villa raised concerns about Duran's attitude.

The Colombian's wage demands may also represent another hurdle to navigate past.

Liverpool's interest in Levi Colwill has spanned back to his days on loan at Brighton and Hove Albion, and the Reds are reportedly circling him again this summer.

According to HITC, Liverpool have discussed Colwill's availability with Chelsea after making a new centre-back a priority.

The Blues are said to have insisted he isn't for sale despite their plan to cash in on some homegrown talents this summer.

But the 21-year-old will reportedly seek assurances from new boss Enzo Maresca over his role in his plans.

Barcelona are reportedly keen to sign Manchester United and England midfielder Kobbie Mainoo after his sensational breakout season.

According to GIVEMESPORT, the La Liga giants are interested in adding Mainoo to Hansi Flick's midfield.

United are claimed to have reacted to Barcelona's interest by holding talks with the 19-year-old over a new contract with significantly increased terms.

The Red Devils may face a battle to keep Mainoo if his heavyweight suitors close in. However, he is expected to agree a new deal at Old Trafford.
