Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd submit huge offer, Arsenal move 'close', Chelsea agree terms

Al Nassr have reportedly accelerated their pursuit of Manchester United star Casemiro.

According to CaughtOffside, Al Nassr have already held discussions with the Brazil international’s representatives about a summer transfer, which would see him link up with ex-teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Red Devils No. 18 is said to be open to pursuing a new challenge if the price is right, and Al Nassr are ready to table a three-year contract to acquire his services. The Saudi Pro League outfit are said to be preparing to send United an initial offer worth in the region of £34m.

Jadon Sancho has been backed to stay at Borussia Dortmund by the club’s former player Paul Lambert.

Sancho joined Dortmund on loan from Manchester United, where he had been banished by Erik ten Hag.

“At Dortmund, Sancho has gone into a really good dressing room, a good culture with good guys and he gets respect,” Lambert told Betway. “At United it could have been an absolute nightmare for him.

“He may have not liked the way it was or it might not have been what he thought it would be. Being back at Dortmund, with some of the players that were there when he left. He’s playing with one of the biggest clubs in European football without a shadow of doubt.

“Why would he want to go back to United? He’s in the Champions League [final], he could be a Champions League winner.”

Arsenal are currently in talks with Chido Obi-Martin’s representatives over contract terms for the 16-year-old wonderkid, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Obi-Martin has scored 29 goals in 17 games for Arsenal’s Under-18s this term, smashing the previous benchmark set by Folarin Balogun.

The Gunners are now ‘pushing’ to make progress before other clubs have a chance to swoop for the teenager, who may soon be fast-tracked to Mikel Arteta’s senior side.

Jorginho has signed a new short-term contract to remain at Arsenal until at least the end of next season, the club have confirmed.

The 32-year-old has played an important role in Arsenal’s title challenge this campaign, appearing in 23 Premier League games.

He said: “I’m really happy to stay, because it’s a privilege to be a part of this family. My family is happy, we’re really well settled and I feel that I have more to do.”

Barcelona wonderkid Pau Cubarsi has signed a new deal tying him to the La Liga giants until 2027.

The 17-year-old has enjoyed a breakout season at centre-back both at club and international level.

And Barca have rewarded his rapid progress with improved terms and a release clause which has shot up to £430million.

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola admits he does not know whether Dominic Solanke will be at the club next season.

The 26-year-old has scored 18 goals in the Premier League this term – his best-ever individual campaign.

And Newcastle United are among those rumoured to be weighing up a summer swoop.

“I hope he stays with us and plays a lot more games with us,” said Iraola. “But I don’t know what’s going to happen, not with Dom, nor with the other players.

“I hope they continue with us, especially the ones that have been more involved, have been more important, or they feel more important. But as a manager, I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Chelsea are ‘trending towards’ a full agreement for Palmeiras starlet Estevao Willian, according to the Evening Standard.

The same report has laid out the financial aspects of the deal.

Palmeiras are set to receive a £30million initial fee with £22m more in performance-related add-ons for the 17-year-old.

The two clubs are now trying to agree on how those add-ons are paid.

With Chelsea advancing; Arsenal, Real Madrid and Barcelona face the prospect of missing out.

Arsenal have scouted Diant Ramaj as part of their search for a new back-up goalkeeper, according to the Evening Standard.

The Gunners are expected to sell Aaron Ramsdale this summer due to the England international stopper falling behind David Raya in the pecking order.

And Ajax goalkeeper Ramaj, 22, is a highly-rated young option.

There has also been talk of Juventus man Wojciech Szczesny returning to north London to become a homegrown squad option.

Manchester City have reportedly been warned off Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who Napoli consider untransferable.

La Gazzetta dello Sport claim that the Azzurri are ramping up transfer talks with the Georgian winger.

And while the report adds that City and Barcelona are waiting to pounce in case negotiations fall flat, all signs point towards Napoli putting up an almighty fight to keep hold of the 23-year-old.

West Ham are in the race for Union Saint-Gilloise striker Mohamed Amoura, according to L’Equipe.

Wolves, Newcastle United and Marseille are also keen on the 23-year-old, who has been amongst the goals in Belgium this season.

Reports elsewhere in France suggest that the Hammers have already put £13million on the table for Amoura as they look to bring in a dependable goal-scorer for incoming manager Julen Lopetegui.

Chelsea are edging towards a statement transfer after reaching an agreement on personal terms with Palmeiras wonderkid Estevao Willian, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The 17-year-old is one of the most exciting attacking talents in Brazilian football.

And Chelsea are looking to edge out Arsenal, Barcelona and Real Madrid by securing the teenager’s services long before he is permitted to play abroad – when he turns 18 next April.

The Blues are set to commence formal talks with Palmeiras in due course ahead of an initial £27.5million bid being submitted.

Arsenal’s pursuit of Martin Zubimendi is getting ‘dangerously close’ to completion, according to Sport.fr.

Barcelona are the Gunners’ main competition, but their financial troubles have encouraged Arsenal sporting director Edu to take an ‘aggressive’ approach.

The north Londoners are already believed to have made contact with Zubimendi’s entourage.

The Real Sociedad midfielder’s contract reportedly includes a £51.6million release clause.

Manchester United have submitted an £8.6million-a-year salary offer to Juventus defender Gleison Bremer, according to Calciomercato.

The proposal, which works out at around £165,000 a week, comes after another fine individual season for the Brazilian centre-back.

Atletico Madrid are also interested in Bremer, who is rated at more than £60m by the Bianconeri.

United defenders Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans will be out of contract at the end of June.
