Bryan Mbeumo is ‘growing increasingly frustrated’ by the lack of progress in negotiations between Brentford and Manchester United, reports the Evening Standard.
The winger is keen to join the Red Devils this summer but an agreement is still not in place despite weeks of talks, and the ‘slow progress’ of negotiations is frustrating both Mbeumo and Brentford.
The Bees are demanding a fee in excess of £63million to part ways with the Cameroon international, and United are now weighing up whether to table a third offer.
Manchester United have been offered the chance to sign Jamie Vardy, reports The Athletic.
The 38-year-old is available as a free agent after leaving Leicester City earlier this summer, and the Red Devils have been offered the chance to sign the forward.
Fellow free agents Callum Wilson and Dominic Calvert-Lewis have also been offered to Ruben Amorim’s side. However, United don’t plan to pursue the trio and they are back-up options for the end of the summer transfer window.
Arsenal have reportedly completed the signing of Christian Norgaard from Brentford.
The Athletic report that the midfielder is expected to be announced as a new Gunners star by the end of the week.
Norgaard has already completed his medical with Mikel Arteta’s side, with Arsenal paying £10million guaranteed and up to £2m in add-ons to secure his signature.
Anthony Elanga is set to travel to Newcastle ahead of his medical, reports Sky Sports.
A deal has been agreed for the Sweden international to join the club from Nottingham Forest for a fee of £55million, with the player ‘excited’ by the prospect of playing Champions League football.
Elanga is now set to make is way to Tyneside to finalise his move.
Liverpool could be set to hijack Arsenal’s move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, reports The Independent.
The Reds are said to have ‘long-standing interest’ in the playmaker which they could activate at the expense of their title rivals, especially given Palace are yet to receive any approaches for their midfielder.
Eze has a £60million release clause in his contract at Selhurst Park – plus add-ons – but Arsenal are preparing an offer of their own for a fee in that region but with a more favourable payment structure.
Manchester United are closing in on their third signing of the summer transfer window.
According to CalcioMercato.com, Valencia star Javi Guerra is ‘close’ to joining the Red Devils.
The Spaniard enjoyed a sensational Under-21 European Championship campaign, and his performances appear to have caught the eye of Ruben Amorim.
Guerra reportedly has a £87million release clause in his current contract with Valencia, though it is unclear whether United have activated said clause or negotiated a deal for a lesser fee.
