A third midfielder, after the arrivals of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, is on the agenda for Manchester United, with several options under consideration.

Lewis Hall of Newcastle remains a player of interest should United decide to go for a left-back.

United are also looking at the market for a striker to share the load with Benjamin Sesko.

In 2024 and 2025, they held talks over re-signing Danny Welbeck from Brighton, getting quite far in the process last year, but they have so far shown no indication of moving again for the 35-year-old, who is now the subject of discussions with Chelsea.

Liverpool have held preliminary talks for Bradley Barcola, but formal club-to-club negotiations are yet to begin. Likely to change soon.

Barcola is Liverpool's leading target, but a deal is price dependent.

PSG's starting point is €170m, which Liverpool view as inflated and unrealistic. Aim will be to strike an agreement for less.

Liverpool also tried for Barcola last summer when he was valued around €85m. #LFC have no intention to pay double that number now.

PSG's position is informed by other deals this summer, including Elliot Anderson (£116m) and Morgan Rogers (£117m).

Liverpool factor in Barcola's desire to leave and the fact he has two years left on his contract. Feeling within the club is if an agreement isn't reached this summer, PSG risk losing Barcola far cheaper in 2027 given he has no desire to sign a new contract.🇫🇷

0 - Chelsea haven't given a single minute to a player over the age of 30 in any of their last 123 matches in all competitions, since 39-year-old Thiago Silva's last appearance in May 2024.
