  • Man City, Wolves 'reach agreement over Nunes fee'

    Manchester City have reportedly made the breakthrough in negotiations with Wolverhampton Wanderers for midfielder Matheus Nunes.

    Once it became apparent that the Premier League champions would not be signing Lucas Paqueta from West Ham United, attention quickly switched to trying to bring in an alternative.

    Last week, it emerged that Nunes was Pep Guardiola's preferred choice, the City boss having previously described the Portugal international as 'one of the best players in the world'.

    City saw a bid in the region of £47m rejected by Wolves and subsequent offers were also turned down by the West Midlands outfit as they held firm over receiving at least £60m.

    Fermin Lopez signs new long-term Barcelona contract

    Barcelona have confirmed that midfielder Fermin Lopez has signed a new contract at Camp Nou.

    The 20-year-old spent the 2022-23 campaign on loan with Linares Deportivo in Spain's third tier, and he scored 12 goals and registered four assists in 40 appearances for the club during a successful spell.

    During pre-season, Barcelona head coach Xavi said that Lopez would be involved with the first team this season and that has been the case in the early weeks of the 2023-24 campaign.

    The Spaniard was an unused substitute in the opening two games of the new La Liga season against Getafe and Cadiz, before debuting off the bench in Sunday's 4-3 win over Villarreal.

    Lorient 'reach agreement with Man United to loan Van de Beek'

    Manchester United have reportedly accepted a loan offer from Lorient for Donny van de Beek.

    The Netherlands international is surplus to requirements at Old Trafford, and the Red Devils had been hopeful of moving him on permanently before the end of the transfer window.

    However, a proposed move to Real Sociedad broke down, and it is believed that the majority of interest at this stage of the transfer market is arriving in the shape of loan offers.

    According to Foot Mercato, Man United have accepted a loan offer from Lorient, but the French side are yet to come to an agreement with the midfielder over a move.

    Manchester United 'working on loan deal for Sofyan Amrabat'

    Manchester United are currently in discussions over a loan deal for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.

    The Morocco international's future has been the subject of much speculation this summer, with a number of clubs believed to be keen to sign him before the end of the market.

    However, it is understood that Man United have always been the 27-year-old's first choice, with Amrabat said to be 'waiting' for the 20-time English champions to make their move.

    Amrabat is not currently being used by Fiorentina amid the speculation surrounding his future, while he is also training separately from the main group at the Italian club.

    Wolves 'on brink of signing Girona defender Bueno'

    Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly closing in on the signing of Girona defender Santiago Bueno.

    Throughout the summer transfer window, Wolves supporters have been left frustrated by their club's efforts in the market, owners Fosun International insisting that they need to make cutbacks to meet FFP criteria.

    As it stands, only the acquisition of Matt Doherty on a free transfer has been made to bolster the senior ranks, focus instead being placed on player sales.

    However, the potential big-money departure of Matheus Nunes would leave Wolves in a position where they could make a number of signings before Friday's transfer deadline.

    Man City 'prepared to walk away from Matheus Nunes chase'

    Manchester City reportedly have no intention of paying what they perceive to be over the odds for Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Matheus Nunes.

    Having tried and failed to sign West Ham United's Lucas Paqueta, manager Pep Guardiola has turned his attention to Nunes, a player who he has rated for a number of years.

    When City initially made an offer in the region of £47m last week, there was every expectation that a resolution would eventually be found.

    However, the two clubs are seemingly at an impasse, not helped by Nunes deciding to go on strike in a bid to force a transfer to the Etihad Stadium.

    Chelsea 'to open talks with Man City for Cole Palmer'

    Chelsea have reportedly identified Manchester City playmaker Cole Palmer as a potential addition ahead of Friday's transfer deadline.

    The Blues have enjoyed a hugely productive few months in the market, parting ways with a wide array of players to make room for their preferred alternatives in all areas of the pitch.

    However, Mauricio Pochettino is still short in the final third, the Argentine acknowledging on more than one occasion that he would like to sign a versatile attacker.

    That is partly due to Christopher Nkunku being sidelined until the back end of 2023 with a knee injury and Armando Broja yet to prove his fitness after a more serious issue in the same area.

    Hull sign goalkeeper Ryan Allsop from Cardiff


    "I'm absolutely delighted that Ryan has joined us and he's going to add a lot of competition and quality to our goalkeeping department," said manager Liam Rosenior.

    "I've worked with him before and I know his potential and ability. He's brave and fantastic with his feet – one of the best, if not the best, in the league in terms of his distribution.

    "He makes important saves, has played in every league – Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two – and is a good character, leader and talker.

    "We identified him for a long time as someone who would fit into our style of play and I'm excited to see his quality playing our way.

    "We want competition in every position on the pitch and having two outstanding goalkeepers at this level is exactly what we wanted."

    Leeds sign Djed Spence on loan from Tottenham

    Leeds United have completed the signing of Djed Spence on loan from Tottenham Hotspur for the 2023-24 campaign.

    The 23-year-old becomes Leeds' sixth signing of the summer following their relegation from the Premier League, and their second loan signing from Spurs after Joe Rodon also joined on a season-long deal.

    The Whites have also brought in Joel Piroe, Ethan Ampadu, Karl Darlow and Sam Byram for their return to the Championship this term.

    Spence could make his debut for Leeds when they host Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday.

    Chelsea 'considering return for Atletico Madrid's Joao Felix'

    Chelsea are reportedly weighing up a move for Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix in the latter stages of the summer transfer window.

    The Portugal international spent the second half of the 2023-24 campaign on loan at Stamford Bridge, scoring four goals in 20 appearances for the Blues in all competitions.

    Chelsea turned down the chance to sign him on a permanent basis earlier this summer, but according to 90min, the capital outfit are considering making a move before Friday's deadline.

    The report claims that a number of Chelsea officials are keen on Felix, but it will be up to head coach Mauricio Pochettino to decide whether the club will make an official approach.

    Wolves boss O'Neil expecting Man City to fail with Nunes bid

    Head coach Gary O'Neil has insisted that he "fully expects" Matheus Nunes to still be at Wolverhampton Wanderers come the end of the week.

    Last week, reports began to emerge that Manchester City had made an approach for the Portugal international, an alternative to Lucas Paqueta who they tried and failed to sign from West Ham United.

    Wolves immediately rejected the first bid from the Premier League champions and that has remained their stance with other offers said to have been made over the coming days.

    Nunes has taken it upon himself to stop training with Wolves in an effort to force a transfer to the Etihad Stadium, a development which has since been confirmed by O'Neil.

    Transfer rumours: Tavares to Forest, Iwobi to Fulham, Origi to Burnley

    Nottingham Forest have reportedly come to an agreement with Arsenal over a deal for Nuno Tavares.

    The 23-year-old is free to leave the Emirates Stadium this summer, and there has been a host of speculation surrounding his future over the last few weeks.

    Forest have recently emerged as the favourites for the full-back, and according to the Daily Mail, the Reds have now come to an agreement with Arsenal over a deal.

    The report claims that Tavares is set to move on loan to Steve Cooper's side for the 2023-24 campaign, while there will be the option to make the move permanent for around £12m next summer.
