2 h. ago Liverpool continue talks over signing Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt

Reports of £69m deal being agreed said to be prematureEkitike keen on move to Premier League championsLiverpool continue to be in negotiations over the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike. Reports in Germany of a deal being agreed for a £69m fee are said to be premature by sources at the Premier League champions, although it is believed the France Under-21 forward does favour a move to Anfield.Ekitike is expected to eventually join Liverpool as they look to overhaul their striking department, a situation further necessitated by the tragic death of Diogo Jota earlier this month. Luis Díaz could well depart from Merseyside, with Bayern Munich an interested party in the Colombia international, and Darwin Núñez is still very much for sale despite a move to Napoli the Uruguayan wanted having gone cold. Neither departure will be at a cut price. Continue reading...

5 d. ago Football transfer rumours: Arsenal’s Trossard to snub Fenerbahce for Bayern?

Today’s rumours are without a lightbulbManchester United have realised they still have a Scott McTominay-sized hole in their midfield and want to fill it with the former Bayern Munich playee Corentin Tolisso. The box-to-box midfielder turns 31 in August but has just had one of the best seasons of his career at Lyon – scoring 10 goals and registering nine assists in all competitions – and, given the French club’s financial problems, there may be a deal to be done for around £15m.After weeks of negotiations, United are also reportedly closing on a move for Bryan Mbeumo after agreeing terms with Brentford. The fee is thought to be north of £60m, with the shrewd Bees keen on using some of that money to buy a replacement in Omari Hutchinson. The winger flickered in a struggling Ipswich side last season but was one of England’s best players in their under-21 Euros campaign, scoring in the final against Germany. Continue reading...
