Transfer news LIVE: Chelsea ‘make shock Ivan Toney move’, Federico Chiesa ‘to Liverpool’, Victor Osimhen LATEST

  • Lukaku 'green light' for Napoli

    Romelu Lukaku has been handed a "green light" to move to Napoli.

    Fabrizio Romano has revealed the Belgian star has been authorised to travel for medical tests and contract signing.

    The permanent deal is expected to be worth £25m plus add-ons.

    The contract will run until June 2027.

  • Kepa to Bournemouth

    Kepa Arrizabalaga is currently undergoing a medical at Bournemouth after they agreed on a loan deal with Chelsea.

    The move has no option or obligation to buy and will see Kepa link up with Andoni Iraola nine years after playing together at Athletic Club.

    Ahead of his move to Bournemouth, the 29-year-old has penned a new two-year deal with Chelsea.

    His contract with the Blues was due to expire at the end of this season, meaning he likely would have left Stamford Bridge on a free transfer if he didn't agree to fresh terms.

    Kepa joined Chelsea in a £72.6million transfer from Athletic Bilbao in 2018 and remains the world's most expensive goalkeeper.

  • Guehi record-breaking Newcastle transfer

    Newcastle and Crystal Palace are reportedly in advanced talks over the £70million transfer of Marc Guehi.

    Palace have already rejected four bids for the centre-back, with the latest totalling £65m.

    Should Crystal Palace accept Newcastle's next bid - which is expected to be around £70m - it will be up to Guehi to make a decision.

    Guehi has been Eddie Howe's top transfer target this summer.

    If he moves to St James' Park, the centre-back will become Newcastle's record signing.

    The proposed move would also represent the biggest sale in Palace's history.

  • Chelsea sign Belgian wonderkid

    Chelsea have completed a deal for Belgian goalkeeper Mike Penders to join in July 2025.

    The 19-year-old made his senior debut for Genk last month and has kept a clean sheet.

    Deal was confirmed weeks ago with Genk for a £17m package and will stay on loan at the Belgian Pro League side for the season.

  • Mejbri out

    Hannibal Mejbri is set to join Championship side Burnley in a shock permanent transfer.

    United will receive package worth £9m for Hannibal Mejbri from Burnley, add-ons included.

    The 21-year-old midfielder played 10 games for United last season and was expected to be a big part of their future.

  • Clubs interested in Sterling

    Raheem Sterling is reportedly open to joining Manchester United before the transfer window closes.

    According to the Daily Mail, Sterling would not rule out joining the Red Devils, despite spells with Liverpool and Manchester City.

    Chelsea are open to including him in a deal for Jadon Sancho, who is also set to leave United.

    Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are also understood to be interested in a late move for Sterling.

    Meanwhile, Arsenal have been linked with the winger, who will not put in a transfer request to force through a move.

  • Cancelo to Saudi

    Al Hilal have agreed a deal with Manchester City to sign Joao Cancelo for a fee of £21.2m.

    The Saudi side are now just waiting for his ‘green light’ from Manchester City to travel.

    His medical is scheduled already in anticipation of completing the deal later this week.

    Manchester City are also aware of interest from Atletico Madrid in midfielder Matheus Nunes, who would like a loan deal at the Spanish giants.

  • Sol on the move

    Tottenham's Manor Solomon will join Leeds United on loan.

    The winger, 25, completed a medical on Monday and will be at Elland Road for the season, although there is no option to buy.

  • More from Ronaldo

    The Portuguese also had his say on a future in management.

    It's very difficult to think that I will be a manager one day.

    In my mind, I'm not considering to be the head coach of any football team. I don't even think about it.

    Probably I see my future doing things out of football.

  • Ronaldo retirement

    Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed he will "probably" retire with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.

    However, Ronaldo stans have no reason to fear as the superstar - who will be 40 in February isn't going anywhere soon.

    I don't know if I will retire soon, in two or three years... but probably I will retire here at Al Nassr.

    I'm very happy at this club, I feel good in this country too.

    I'm happy to play in Saudi Arabia and I want to continue.

  • Lukaku on the brink

    The Romelu Lukaku saga is nearly over with the Belgian striker close to completing a move to Napoli.

    According to reports, issues over image rights have now been resolved, with final checks to be conducted before completion - the ex-Chelsea striker will also need to fly to Italy and complete his medical.

    Lukaku is said to have been in touch with new Napoli boss Antonio Conte every day since Friday.

    Chelsea are expected to receive around £25m for the deal.

  • Chiesa green light

    Federico Chiesa has reportedly told Liverpool he is ready to sign after initial talks between club and player went well.

    The contract 'won't be an issue' for the Italian, 26, with Juventus asking for around £12.7m (€15m).

    However, Barcelona are also said to be interested in the winger but will have to wait until next week to make an approach, due to their complex financial situation.

  • Sterling pay-off saga

    Raheem Sterling will sort out his Chelsea pay-off before trying to find a new club.

    And that could prove a £70million obstacle to him quitting the club before Friday’s transfer deadline.

    The winger, 29, was told just two days before the first game of the season that he has no future at Chelsea under head coach Enzo Maresca.

    Manchester UnitedAston VillaCrystal Palace and a host of other Premier League clubs have been linked with a move for the one-time England star.

    Saudi Arabia’s Pro League have also expressed interest in him.

    Sterling wants to stay in England’s top flight but still has three years left on a £325,000 a week contract plus bonuses.

    He will accept a compromise if the overall severance package and alternative club is suitable but he will not ask for a transfer.

    And that is putting pressure on Chelsea’s sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart to come up with an agreeable golden goodbye to see Sterling quit.

  • Utd legend Nev’s soft spot for Arsenal

    Man Utd legend Gary Neville has named Arsenal as the club he'd have chosen to join - if he had to move.

    The ex-England defender was posed that question by Jamie Carragher on The Overlap.

    Neville said: “I’m going to say Arsenal.

    “They were the club that I generally had massive respect for, it’s a club of proper tradition.”

  • Manuel on brink

    Manchester United’s prime target Manuel Ugarte is preparing to jet in to seal his move from PSG.

    That’s the claim of transfer insider Fabrizio Romano over the long-term midfield target.

    The Uruguayan, 23, has already agreed personal terms.

    The Bundesliga giants have so far paired former United target Kim Min-jae and Arsenal-linked Dayot Upamecano in central defence.

    But ex-Germany midfielder Matthaus told Sky Sports Germany: “The defence is and remains Bayern’s Achilles heel,

    “Matthijs de Ligt was sold, even though he was the most stable defender over the past two years. He was the leader of the backline. Now Bayern are again looking for a successor to David Alaba.

    For me, it’s pathetic that this leader is missing. If de Ligt had not been sold, I would not have worries at (about) FC Bayern now

    “But my opinion about him is probably different to the people in charge. It’s a decision that has to be accepted.

    “But many – including within the team – are just shaking their heads. Because the players also know that their defence is shaky. And then the best defender is sold.”

  • Mikel claims Gunners are a 'bit short'

    Mikel Arteta believes he is still "short" of striking options.

    That's the Arsenal manager's clearest hint he might target more than just the signing of midfielder Mikel Merino before Friday's transfer deadline.

    Discussing his frontline options after Saturday's 2-0 win at Aston Villa, Arteta said: "We are a little bit short.

    "If we can do something we will do it but at the moment

  • Bees hope to crack the Kayode

    Fiorentina right-back Michael Kayode is reportedly on Brentford’s radar.

    The Italy Under-21 star was linked with Arsenal and Manchester United last year.

  • Juve want Chelsea target on loan from Utd

    Juventus reportedly only want Chelsea target Jadon Sancho on loan from Manchester United, according to Sky Sports.

    Their reporter Dharmesh Sheth revealed what he knows about the situation on X.

    He wrote: “Juventus have made clear to Manchester United they want loan for Jadon Sancho. Juve know of Chelsea interest.

    “Now waiting for United & Sancho to make decision. United’s preference is permanent. Sancho has 3 years (2+1) left on deal so loan not ruled out.”

  • Ivan edging closer to exit

    Possible Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea target Ivan Toney was left out of Brentford’s squad for the second Premier League game in a row, as talk of his transfer intensifies.

    Manager Thomas Frank said: “The status is the same as last week.

    “Things are going on with transfer speculation so the decision is the same. He is training well, there is no problem.

    “I’d rather focus on the game and the players that are playing instead of talking about him.”

  • How Red Devils could look with Chilwell & Sterling

    Manchester United could be reinforced by two Chelsea outcasts before Friday's transfer deadline, writes TONY ROBERTSON.

    The Blues are said to be among a number of clubs interested in Jadon Sancho, alongside Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain.

    Sancho, 24, is yet to feature in a matchday squad for Erik ten Hag's side this season despite apparently patching things up with the Dutchman following their bust-up last season.

    SunSport have taken a look at the possible look of the Red Devils for the upcoming season.

  • Raheem in race against time

    Raheem Sterling will sort out his Chelsea pay-off before trying to find a new club.

    And that could prove a £70million obstacle to him quitting the club before Friday’s transfer deadline.

    The winger, 29, was told just two days before the first game of the season that he has no future at Chelsea under head coach Enzo Maresca.

    Manchester UnitedAston VillaCrystal Palace and a host of other Premier League clubs have been linked with a move for the one-time England star.

  • Liverpool 'now lead Prem race for Osimhen'

    Victor Osimhen has been linked in the past year with Arsenal as well as Manchester United - and, most recently, Chelsea.

    But now it's claimed Liverpool is the Napoli striker's likeliest destination if he switches to the Prem.

    Osimhen has reportedly ruled out switching to Saudi Arabia.

    And although Chelsea have been the main movers this summer, The Times reckon Arne slot's Liverpool are in fact best placed to recruit the Nigerian 25-year-old.

  • Liverpool in shock swoop for Chiesa

    LIVERPOOL have reportedly opened talks with Juventus over a cut-price deal for flop forward Federico Chiesa.

    The misfit attacker, who can play out wide or through the middle, is up for sale after being axed by new Juve boss Thiago Motta.

    Big things were expected of Chiesa when he joined the Turin club four years ago.

    But in that time he’s managed just 32 goals in 131 games.

    And Juventus haven’t lifted a single Serie A title either —  despite winning the previous nine seasons prior to his arrival.

    Chiesa’s inconsistency and injury problems mean he’s now up for sale at just £12.5million — a considerable loss on the £45m Juventus paid for him from Fiorentina.

  • Former Red Devils & Gunners target on Brentford radar
