Amid all the action at Euro 2020 and the Copa America, the summer transfer window has opened for some leagues, with Europe’s biggest clubs looking to make a splash in the transfer market. Check out the latest gossip below, and see all official deals here.
TOP STORY: Man Utd near Sancho deal, eye Camavinga
Manchester United are close to signing Jadon Sancho with an eye on Eduardo Camavinga to bolster the midfield.
According to Sky Germany, United and Borussia Dortmund settling on an €85 million valuation for Sancho’s transfer. There are still fine details left to settle such as instalments between the clubs but the long drawn transfer saga could soon be wrapped up.
The 21-year-old has long been linked with a move to Manchester following another impressive season in the Bundesliga, recording 20 goal involvements in 26 games despite injuries hampering his season.
The Daily Mail also reports that United representatives have made contact with Stade Rennes in a move for 18-year-old Camavinga.
The midfielder only has a year left on his current deal and is unlikely to sign a new one, meaning the Ligue 1 outfit could move him on to make sure they don’t lose him on a free.
Further talks are said to be held between United, Rennes and Camavinga’s representatives in the coming week. However, the Old Trafford side aren’t the only ones interested in the player with Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal amongst the clubs with the player on their radar.
