Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in Joao Palhinha.

The ex-Fulham ace lead the way for tackles in the Premier League between 2022 and 2024, before joining Bayern Munich in a big-money move last summer.

It's claimed by GIVEMESPORT that United and Spurs would be keen on a loan move.

However, Bayern Munich aren't said to be open to a short-term deal and would instead prefer a cash offer.

Liverpool will reportedly only consider a signing for Rodrygo this summer, if they can be certain about Luis Diaz's exit.

The attacker has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich, who tried their arm with a £58million bid earlier this summer.

Sky Germany have reported Liverpool would consider a move, should Diaz depart this summer.

Evan Ferguson has completed a season-long loan move to Roma.

The Brighton striker spent the second half of last season on loan at West Ham United.

Reacting to the move, head coach Fabian Hürzeler said, “Evan had a challenging period across the past season and a half, and it has been one disrupted by niggling injury issues, which hasn’t allowed him a run of games.

“He is over those injuries and has come back in great shape. Now he really wants to play regularly. This is an exciting opportunity in a strong league and with the prospect of European football.

“We wish Evan well for the season ahead and will be watching his progress closely throughout the season.”

Chelsea are reportedly 'close to a verbal agreement' with Xavi Simons.

The RB Leipzig gem is rumoured to be on the move this summer, with Chelsea showing a keen interest.

As per Sky Germany, the Blues are closing in on a verbal agreement regarding personal terms.

It's mooted that Carney Chukwuemeka, currently on the books at Chelsea, could head in the opposite direction.

Manchester United have reportedly settled on a three-man striker shortlist.

The Red Devils have been forced to sit by and watch targets such as Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres and Hugo Ekitike close in on moves elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim's goal of signing a striker this summer remains up in the air.

That being said, it's claimed United have whittled their search down to three players: Benjamin Sesko, Nicolas Jackson and Ollie Watkins.

Will any of them move the needle for the team that finished 15th last season?
