Manchester United came close to signing Aston Villa star Emiliano Martinez before ultimately opting for Andre Onana last year, according to the Argentina international’s agent.
David de Gea left the Red Devils at the end of 2022/23 season, forcing the Red Devils to look for a new stopper.
Last year he was very close to Manchester United, the coach chose Onana, because he already knew him.
But everyone at Manchester United later maintained that the ideal goalkeeper to win was Emiliano Martínez.
Chelsea ace Kepa Arrizabalaga has a “significant offer” on the table to leave Stamford Bridge.
Kepa has now entered the final 12 months of the deal he signed after making his world record £72.1million move to the Blues in 2018 from Athletic Bilbao.
According to Marca, the goalkeeper has a “significant offer” from a Saudi Pro League club.
The same source claims Al-Ittihad are willing to pay the Spain international a whopping salary to move to them.
But the 29-year-old is determined not to rush into anything and he has allegedly asked for time before making a decision.
Kepa is believed to be waiting to see whether he receives other proposals while debating what life would be like in the Middle East for him and his family.
Jobe Bellingham will stay at Sunderland despite interest from several Premier League clubs.
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Bellingham will remain at the Stadium of Light for at least one more season.
Crystal Palace have been pushing to sign the playmaker "for weeks".
However, Jude Bellingham's brother wants to see out the Black Cats' "ambitious project".
Marc Guehi leaving
Marc Guehi is set to reject the offer of new contract at Crystal Palace leaving the club likely to lose their biggest three stars this summer.
Palace had been hoping to keep hold of Guehi for at least one more season, as they have already sold Michael Olise to Bayern Munich and Eberechi Eze has a £60million release clause, which Tottenham and Manchester City are willing to trigger.
The England defender has just two years left on his contract at Selhurst Park however, and without persuading him to sign a new deal Palace may be forced to cash in.
Palace want Guehi to sign a new contract which would include a release clause when he returns from the European Championship, but SunSport has learned he has no intention of doing so.
The 23-year-old is understood to be keen to explore his options this summer amidst interest from Manchester United, who have noted the ease with which he has adopted to playing as England's left-sided centre-back in Germany despite being right footed.
Given Guehi has less than two years left on his contract Palace's negotiating position is less strong and he is likely to be a cheaper option.
French side Toulouse have made a bid of over £1million for MK Dons striker Max Dean.
Dean, 20, has impressed at Dons since joining the club from Leeds in January 2023.
The speedy striker scored 19 goals and laid on five assists in 34 games across all competitions last season as the Dons missed out on the League Two play-off semi-finals.
Toulouse have been long-term admirers of Dean and they are keen to lure him to France in this summer's transfer window.
Manchester United are close to sealing a deal to sign Bologna star Joshua Zirkzee.
United have agreed terms with Zirkzee but are yet to decide on how to structure a deal with the Serie A outfit.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that the terms have been sorted out between the striker and the the Red Devils.
Romano also claimed that the Manchester giants need to decide on paying his £34million release clause.
It is suggested that United could negotiate new terms with the Serie A side over the structure of the deal.
This means that the Old Trafford outfit could try to spread the cost of the transfer over multiple years rather than pay the full fee immediately.
New terms could be preferred by Bologna as they owe 50 per cent of the transfer fee to Bayern Munich, this is due to a sell-on clause inserted in his contract when he left the Bundesliga giants in 2022.
West Ham have completed the signing of Max Kilman from Wolves.
Kilman is delighted to be reunited with with manager Julen Lopetegui following his £40million move.
The centre-back has signed a seven-year deal at the London Stadium and was one of Lopetegui's top targets having been made captain by the Spanish tactician at Molineux.
The Hammers attempted to land the 27-year-old last summer and, as first revealed by SunSport, quickly revived their interest after appointing Lopetegui.
Wolves will pay around £4m to National League side Maidenhead, from whom they signed Kilman for £40,000 in 2018 due to a 10 per cent sell on clause.
Aleix Garcia was unveiled as a Bayer Leverkusen player last month.
However, the Spain midfielder could have ended up signing for West Ham instead.
When asked if he had received any offers other than the Leverkusen one, Garcia told Diari de Girona: “One from West Ham. They were the only ones.
"If I had waited longer, maybe I could have received another one. I considered that Bayer was the most positive, because of the coach and the style of play. Playing the Champions League was a trigger."
The agent of Rangers star Ianis Hagi has revealed he would pay to help his client secure a move away from the Scottish club.
Giovanni Becali told Digi Sport: "I would be more than happy to help him find a team.
"I would spend money from me and my brother to find something for Ianis. He has an impresario who is very good to me.
"He has a contract with Rangers and I think he will start training with them. I hope that the coach will continue to consider him (as part of first team squad)."
