Diaz had been linked to Barcelona this summer, but Arne Slot doesn't want to lose a player he has plans for during the 2025/26 season. Diaz was also tracked by Saudi Pro League clubs last

summer.

The transfer window is officially open and all Premier League clubs are ready to do business.

One of the most active is Arne Slot's Liverpool who are edging even closer to the Florian Wirtz deal. In fact the German 'gave them the nod' last night. Slot's side are also keen on Milos

Kerkez. Meanwhile, the Reds have rejected a move from Barcelona to sign winger Luis Diaz

Arsenal are also looking big and small as they go for Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres. They are also want to sign Greek wonderkid Konstantinos Karetsas, 17.

Manchester United are also set for a busy summer as Ruben Amorim looks to address the lack of goals from his Red Devils this summer. And they're closing in on a deal for Brentford's Bryan

Mbeumo after a move for Matheus Cunha. However, their opening bid has reportedly been rejected by Brentford. They have also parted company with Sir David Brailsford last night. Meanwhile

Rasmus Hojlund and Lisandro Martinez are being linked with moves away.

Chelsea have made a signing in the form of Rory Delap and there are plenty of more big moves in the making. While Manchester City are closing in on the signing of Rayan Ait-Nouri from

Wolves.

London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal have fielded a number of the same players over the years, and the latest in that trend is rumoured to be Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The Spanish goalkeeer lost the number one spot at the Blues some years ago and spent the season at Bournemouth, but now the Gunners are reportedly interested in adding him to their ranks.

A release clause fee of £5m could be enough, according to a Sky in Italy report

Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain were interested in young River Plate star Franco Mastantuono.

But the young Argentine is tipped to join Spanish giants Real Madrid according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Chelsea have been dealt a blow in the race to buy West Ham midfielder Mohammed Kudus.

The 24-year-old is believed to have been part of a multi-player package deal with Chelsea, but the Hammers want cold hard cash, according to the Mirror.

Kudus is reported to have three buy-out clauses that are only active in the first 10 days of July. They are £80million for European clubs, £85m for fellow Premier League sides and £120m for

teams in the Saudi Pro League.

Liverpool's Luis Diaz has confirmed he has held talks with rival clubs.

The Colombian said: "I'm very happy at Liverpool, I've always said so. They've welcomed me very well from day one. We are currently in contact with Liverpool, because we are talking to

clubs.

"That's normal given the transfer market that's opening. We're trying to arrange what's best for us. We’re talking to clubs, it’s normal in the market and we’re looking at what’s best for

us. I'm waiting to see what happens. If they (Liverpool) give us a good renewal or I stay there for two years, I’ll be happy. Now it’s up to them.”

Diaz had been linked to Barcelona this summer, but Arne Slot doesn't want to lose a player he has plans for during the 2025/26 season. Diaz was also tracked by Saudi Pro League clubs last

summer.

Chelsea star Cole Palmer has shown no sign he is set to leave Stamford Bridge anytime soon, with the club making a big fuss of him changing to the number 10 shirt.

The same blue shirt has been worn by a number of greats at the West London club over the years, including Eden Hazard.

The move might leave the future of Ukrainian footballer Mykhailo Mudryk up, to whom the shirt number previously belonged, up to some speculation. Mudryk has not played a game since November

after he was provisionally suspended from football by the FA after testing positive for the banned substance meldonium.

Marauding Bournemouth full back is still set to join Premier League champions Liverpool.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano said in a tweet this afternoon that the Cherries man is "fully expected to become Liverpool player soon".

Tottenham will reportedly have to pay £4million in compensation to Ange Postecoglou if they sack the Aussie.

Despite ending Spurs' 17-year wait for a trophy by winning the Europa League last month, Postecoglou's job is under severe pressure following Tottenham's worst-ever Premier League season,

where they finished 17th with 38 points.

According to the Telegraph, Spurs have already paid Postecoglou a £2m bonus for winning the Europa League, and that compensation would be added on top if they do decide to find a new

manager.

Ex-Bayer Leverkusen chief Rudi Voller has admitted that Florian Wirtz wants to join Liverpool but warned the deal could 'take a while' with the Bundesliga outfit demanding a British record

£126million.

He said: "It’s no secret that he’d like to go to Liverpool. I know the clubs are negotiating with each other. It’s often the case that it takes a while until an agreement is finally reached.

"Of course, in the end, you have the feeling it will go through. Florian Wirtz has proven that he is a very, very valuable player. Not only for Bayer Leverkusen but also for the national

team. That’s why he costs a few euros more."

Antony could be in line to make a shock reunion with former Manchester United and Ajax boss Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman is the new manager of Bayer Leverkusen, and it's been reported that Antony is on his shortlist of forwards to replace Liverpool target Florian Wirtz, should he leave.

According to Sky Sports, if United allow the 25-year-old to leave, their preference is a permanent deal.

Real Betis, where he scored nine goals in 24 starts on loan over the second half of last season, are also interested but are unlikely to be able to meet United's asking price.

Manchester United have suffered a crushing transfer blow with their £50million target set for a medical at bitter rivals Manchester City.

Ruben Amorim's side had been linked with a move for Rayan Ait-Nouri, but he's now set for a move their bitter rivals. Ait-Nouri is currently on international duty with Algeria and he's been

given permission to leave for his medical.

According to Algerian journalist Athmane Taibi, Ait-Nouri will leave the camp today (Thursday, June 5) for his medical tomorrow (Friday, June 6). It also means he will miss Algeria's

friendly with Rwanda.

And a report from The Telegraph claims City will pay Wolves a £35m fee with the deal likely to include add-ons.

Arsenal have confirmed the first piece of business concluded by the club this transfer window, as Nuno Tavares, 25, departs the Emirates.

The left-back has joined Lazio on a permanent basis after impressing on loan in the Serie A last season, making eight assists in just 23 matches from his defensive position.

Tavares joined Arsenal from Benfica in 2021 but his move did not work out, as he played just 28 times for the Gunners before heading on loan to Marseille and Nottingham Forest.

Arsenal have been dealt a blow in the transfer market after Athletic Bilbao president Jon Uriarte hinted Nico Williams is set to remain at the San Mames.

The Gunners have been long-term admirers of the 22-year-old and saw the Spain international as a left-sided forward option in the transfer window.

However, Uriarte suggested Williams is going nowhere, he said: "I believe we have a winning and interesting project for everyone, and Nico is part of that project, just like many other

players.

"The project becomes easier if we keep our players - and I believe Nico and the rest of the squad have a very exciting year ahead."

Nottingham Forest midfielder Danilo is reportedly closing in on a £20million move to Lyon.

The Brazilian is set to join the Ligue 1 club pending a green light from Forest, with talks over a deal at an advanced stage.

Meanwhile, Lyon look set to lose 21-year-old forward Rayan Cherki, after he agreed personal terms with Manchester City.

Emi Martinez could make a remarkable move to Manchester United.

The 32-year-old has been named the world's best goalkeeper during his time at Aston Villa, thanks to his World Cup 2022 success in Qatar, but he's been linked with an exit from Villa Park.

According to TyC Sports, United have the 'strongest interest' in Martinez as they look to replace Andre Onana. Martinez has also been linked with a shock return to Arsenal

Liverpool have rejected Barcelona's approach to sign Luis Diaz.

Diaz, 28, joined the Reds in 2022 from Porto and his deal runs until next summer, but, as things stand according to The Athletic, there is little expectation of a new deal.

It could lead to similar situation to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who let his contract run down this campaign so he could walk away to Real Madrid on a free transfer - but Los Blancos coughed up

£10million to secure his services early.

Diaz had been linked to Barcelona this summer, but Arne Slot doesn't want to lose a player he has plans for during the 2025/26 season. Diaz was also tracked by Saudi Pro League clubs last

summer.

Manchester United have seen their opening bid for Bryan Mbeumo reportedly rejected by Brentford.

The Red Devils launched their first bid for the 25-year-old forward on Wednesday night, worth an initial £45million, with £10m in add-ons.

However, according to the Mirror, Brentford have told United their proposal falls significantly short of their transfer valuation, with the Bees pointing towards the £62.5m that United paid

Wolves for Matheus Cunha.

The Bees have communicated that they feel Mbeumo is worth a similar transfer fee to the Brazilian forward. Brentford have no pressure to sell this summer as they hold a 12-month extension

clause in the Cameroonian's contract, which expires in 2026.

Newcastle have announced that Antonio Cordero will join them next month. The Spanish winger will join as a free agent following the expiry of his contract with Malaga.

Real Madrid and PSG are battling to sign River Plate starlet Franco Mastantuono. The 17-year-old is starring in Argentina and both European giants are making moves to land a player who turns

18 in August.

Arsenal are in talks to sign Greek wonderkid Konstantinos Karetsas, according to reports.

Karetsas, 17, is widely regarded as one of the brightest young talents in European football as has been on the Gunners' radar for months. According to reports in his homeland, Karetsas won't

come cheap with a €45m (£38) price tag on his head.

Karetsas currently turns out in the Belgian Pro League for Genk, but truly earned plaudits during his performance for Greece in their 3-0 win over Scotland in Glasgow earlier this year.

The Reds are also deep in conversations over acquiring Bournemouth's ace full-back Milos Kerkez. Liverpool believe they are close to sealing the deal, with a fee somewhere between £40m and

£45m on the cards for the Hungarian star.

Kerkez tore it up as one of the top left-backs in the Premier League last season, and he dropped a massive hint about his future with a cryptic Instagram post. He said: "I don't know what

will happen in the next few weeks but Cherries family thank you!"

Asked Florian Wirtz if he was excited for Liverpool… pic.twitter.com/PFPQ5M1coL

Liverpool target Florian Wirtz was on the pitch for Germany while discussions continue over a potential switch to Anfield this summer.

The winger earned a spot in the starting XI for his national team in the UEFA Nations League face-off against Portugal.

He sent a strong signal as to why Liverpool have set their sights on him, netting Germany's first goal just moments into the second half. However, Portugal responded with two goals of their

own later in the half, resulting in a 2-1 defeat.

Inter Milan need a new coach - and they want former Arsenal man Cesc Fabregas.

Simone Inzaghi left his post at the San Siro just three days after Inter were thrashed in the Champions League final. He has since been appointed as the new boss of Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia.

Florian Wirtz seems to have confirmed he will be joining Liverpool this summer.

The Mail shared a clip of the Germany star being asked if he was 'excited for Liverpool'. Wirtz seemed to give a brief nod before moving on, sending fans into a frenzy.

Crystal Palace are allegedly interested in 19-year-old Lewis Miley.

Despite struggling for form and continued injuries, the midfielder could be part of Palace's strategy to grow their squad for their first appearance in the Europa League next season.

Newcastle may be 'reluctant' to sell him, but could be swayed if the cash is high enough.

United are said to be ready to say goodbye to striker Rasmus Hojlund this transfer season.

It is claimed that Inter Milan have "made contact" with the Denmark international for a move away from Old Trafford. The Daily Mail report that Nerazzurri want to know his price tag from Man

Utd.

It is also suggested that the Red Devils could offer the centre-forward out on a "cut-price fee".

Manchester United ace Lisandro Martinez is facing an uncertain future with the Reds as he could be set for an exit this summer.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the centre-back is being tracked by the Serie A champions. Martinez is currently recovering from an ACL injury that he suffered in February, but the

Partenopei are allegedly "monitoring" his progress.

According to rumours, Napoli's sporting director Giovanni Manna is a fan of the defender and is not concerned with the 27-year-old's recent issues with injury.

Simone Inzaghi has been confirmed as the new head coach for Al Hilal.

The 49-year-old has signed a two-year contract after leaving Inter Milan on Tuesday. The Serie A clubembarrassingly lost 5-0 in the Champions League final against PSG.

Inzaghi spent four years there, leading the Nerazzurri to the 2023-24 league title and winning the Coppa Italia twice.

He has signed to the Saudi club for a reported salary of £21.9m (€26m) per season.

A statement from the club read: "Inzaghi will soon begin supervising the first team's training at the club's headquarters in Riyadh, in preparation for the 2025 Club World Cup in the United

States of America, which will begin on Sunday, June 15."

His first showing will be when Al Hilal face Real Madrid in their first fixture of the tournament on June 18.

Sunderland defender Trai Hume has made it clear he's happy at the Stadium of Light amid ongoing transfer speculation linking him with a move away from Wearside.

The 23-year-old right-back, who joined the club from Linfield back in 2022, says he isn't paying too much attention to rumours about his future as he prepares for Northern Ireland's

international fixtures against Denmark on Saturday and next Tuesday's home fixture against Iceland.

Hume has been linked with moves to Everton and Wolves in recent days.

Liverpool's no1 target Florian Wirtz found the back of the net for Germany in their Nations League semi-final clash with Portugal this evening as he broke the deadlock just after half time.

But Germany were ultimately beaten 2-1 in Munich as Francisco Conceicao and Cristiano Ronaldo struck for the visitors.

Villa's PSR problems mean they likely need to sell the Argentine this summer and Martinez has emerged as one of the world's top keepers during his time with Aston Villa.

According to TyC Sports, United have the 'strongest interest' in Martinez as they seek a replacement for Andre Onana.
