🚨🧨 EXCLUSIVE DETAILS | Rio Ngumoha was the secret candidate FC Bayern had been negotiating with for weeks. Bayern had reached a full verbal agreement with Ngumoha and his camp on Tuesday, 26 May. #LFC
⚠️ Absolute priority as a backup to Luis Díaz alongside the pursuit of Anthony Gordon. However, the deal collapsed yesterday, Thursday, for the time being. It remains to be seen whether club-to-club agreements can be reached for Brown/Saibari.
Vincent Kompany approved the Ngumoha deal after personal talks with the 17 y/o Liverpool gem. @SkySportDE 🏴🇳🇬
#mufc, Tottenham, Chelsea and Aston Villa are all admirers of Morgan Gibbs-White, but each already has players in his preferred position.
More develop as the window progresses; however, Forest want him to stay for at least one more year [@SimonJones_DM]
🚨 JUST IN: Manchester United are aware of the widespread interest in Mateus Fernandes, though some exaggerations are being publicised.
Talks are ongoing & reps remain confident of a deal. He is a player who is really admired by many at Old Trafford.

Mateus Fernandes is wanted by Real Madrid and PSG but Utd fans can’t accept him as the “main midfield signing” until he’s already taken the leap and costs 100m 🤣
That new Rivaldo Hole player card looks absolutely insane. You're able to craft him into a bully with minimum trade-off.
Magnetic Feet, Low Screamer is a killer combination too.
He's just missing One-Touch Pass, Double Touch and Through passing
Naaah I'd be so cheesed off if we end up with Tchouameni instead of Mateus Fernandes. West Ham got exactly what they wanted with this situation.
The only thing stopping his move to Real Madrid is him 😭
I think United get it done but I also feel that the deal relies on him pushing for it too. That's the only way we get him for 60 million or less.
If Arsenal and PSG come in, he has to be the one to say no otherwise he probably will leave for 70-85
"Early days, but equally he’s (Fernandes) not at the World Cup so it won’t be held up by and could progress quickly - we’re not there yet. United like the player, but the key thing is West Ham and how much they’ll demand for him. They desperately need to sell players and have a black hole of £100M+ to fill. There’s reports they want £80M. They’ll try and maximise that price. If they maximise the price, could they keep players like Bowen, Diouf or Souceck? If they can fill a good portion of that hole with the sale of one player, they’ll try and do that to keep the squad together who would be heavily favoured to come straight back up to the Premier League."
