Manchester United are looking to land Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba in what is likely to be the biggest deal of the summer – and of all time.
Their rivals City are are also looking to get onto the act, with John Stones’ long-mooted move edging close.
Make sure you’ve not missed any Premier League dones deals this summer so far, by checking out our comprehensive list.
Spurs flop heading out
Tottenham will give up on Clinton N’Jie as he joins Marseille after a disappointing season in North London.
The 22-year-old forward moved to Spurs on a five-year deal last summer but failed to impress Mauricio Pochettino.
An £8million signing, N’Jie will leave initially on loan to Marseille with a £7million permanent move already agreed and triggered by a number of easily-achieved milestones.
N’Jie needs to finalise personal terms with the Ligue 1 giants, but despite interest from Lyon he is expected to move to the south of France and has already undergone a medical in London.
Man United defender blow
Manchester United have been dealt a blow with the news Raphael Varane wants to stay at Real Madrid.
Jose Mourinho is keen to add another centre half to his squad this summer and is known to be a big fan of the young Frenchman.
But it appears 23-year-old is keen to stay at the Bernabeu.
“I want to stay here this year, I feel loved by the fans who want the best for me, and the best is yet to come,” he told Marca.
“I hope to be allowed to start afresh- I’d like to push on, to continue improving. After being at Real for five years, I want to make the next step.”
Atletico not giving up on Costa
Atletico Madrid are still refusing to give up on Diego Costa.
The Chelsea striker, signed from Atletico for £32million two years ago, is at the centre of a tug of war between the two clubs.
Costa has told the Blues that he will not force a move away, despite the interest of his former club. But Atletico believe he would be open to rejoining them to solve their crisis up front.
AC Milan marksman Carlos Bacca is currently stalling on a move to West Ham and has suggested he would jump at the chance of a switch to Champions League regulars Atletico instead.
Allegri admits Pogba talks
Max Allegri has confirmed that Juventus are in negotiations with Manchester United over the sale of Paul Pogba, writes Aaron Flanagan.
United are believed to be on the cusp of completing a world record £100million transfer for the midfielder, who left Old Trafford for Juve in 2012.
Pogba is currently absent from Juve’s tour of Australia but Allegri does not know if the Frenchman will link up with the team when they return to Europe.
He admitted: “Pogba is a Juventus player at the moment but we don’t know what is going to happen. The club are looking after negotiations.”
It is understood United have agreed to pay Juventus the massive fee for their France superstar and will hand Pogba a five-year contract worth £210,000-a-week, net.
Arsenal go in again for Inter star?
Arsenal have once again approached Inter Milan to try and get Marcelo Brozovic’s asking price lowered.
The Croatian, who impressed at this summer’s European Championships, has long been on Arsene Wenger’s radar.
Inter want €30million and Gazzetta dello Sport report that their stance over that price has not changed.
The Gunners remain interested despite having added fellow central midfielder Granit Xhaka earlier this summer.
