Deadline day key events
Mateta move 'abandoned' as Man United 'target' 32-goal striker this summer
Manchester United are unlikely to move for Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta this summer, with a deal for either Bayern Munich's Harry Kane or Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres more likely, according to their former chief scout Mick Brown.
The Red Devils will bring in a new striker during this summer's transfer window, and Mateta has recently been linked with a move to the club.
The 27-year-old has scored 15 goals and registered three assists in 33 appearances for Palace this season, and it has been claimed that a £40m move could occur during the upcoming market.
However, Brown, who is a former chief scout for the 20-time English champions, has claimed that Mateta is unlikely to arrive at Old Trafford, with the club instead expected to sign Kane or Gyokeres.
Van Dijk makes alarming admission over Liverpool future
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has admitted he has "no idea" whether he will still be at Anfield next season.
Van Dijk was part of the Liverpool side that suffered a disappointing evening in Tuesday's Champions League last-16 clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool's narrow first-leg lead was cancelled out by Ousmane Dembele's 12th-minute effort, which proved to be the only goal in 120 minutes of action at Anfield.
PSG prevailed in the subsequent penalty shootout, with Gianluigi Donnarumma making saves to deny Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones.
Guler makes key decision over Real Madrid future amid Serie A interest?
Real Madrid attacker Arda Guler is reportedly prepared to leave the Santiago Bernabeu this summer amid interest from Italian giants AC Milan and Inter Milan.
There was a lot of hype over Guler's arrival when he joined Real Madrid from Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023.
However, Guler has been unable to establish himself in the Real Madrid side, having seemingly failed to impress head coach Carlo Ancelotti.
The Turkey international was restricted to just 13 appearances in his first season with the Spanish giants due to a combination of injury issues and selection decisions, although he still managed to contribute six goals in 10 La Liga matches.
Spurs 'open talks' with Man United-linked midfielder
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly opened talks with the representatives of Lille midfielder Angel Gomes over a potential free transfer.
Gomes has established a reputation as a strong midfielder in Ligue 1 since joining the club as a free agent following his departure from Man United in the summer of 2020.
The 24-year-old has made 134 competitive appearances for the French club, contributing 10 goals and 19 assists.
Gomes' performance at club level were recognised by England interim boss Lee Carsley, who handed him four caps during his six games in charge before Thomas Tuchel took over the reins at the start of 2025.
Liverpool 'preparing mega-money move' for PSG star who tormented them
Liverpool are reportedly interested in making a mega-money move for one of Paris Saint-Germain's star players during the summer transfer window.
On Tuesday night, the two teams met in a mammoth Champions League occasion at Anfield, Liverpool having been defending a 1-0 advantage after their late win in France.
However, PSG came through a chaotic opening period with an early advantage to level the tie before eventually sealing their place in the quarter-finals via a penalty shootout.
The level of the performance from Luis Enrique's side has led to some media and pundits making the Ligue 1 outfit the new favourites to win the competition.
Sancho 'loophole' could see Chelsea reject permanent move for Man United winger
Chelsea will allegedly have the opportunity to reject a permanent deal for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho during the summer transfer window.
In the closing stages of the 2024 equivalent, Chelsea successfully negotiated loan terms with their United counterparts to hand Sancho a way out of Old Trafford.
The England international was not in the plans of then-United head coach Erik ten Hag, largely due to their previous falling out and the player's failure to convince him into a change of heart from his handful of further chances.
At the time, it was suggested that Chelsea would likely be signing the 24-year-old on a full-time basis at the end of the season for a fee in the region of £22m.
Two please: Man United 'lining up spectacular double raid' on Real Madrid
Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a double move for Real Madrid duo Aurelien Tchouameni and Andriy Lunin this summer.
The Red Devils will sign a new centre-forward in the upcoming market, with that position thought to be the club's number one priority, but a central midfielder and at least one goalkeeper are also expected to arrive at the end of the campaign.
Christian Eriksen's contract is up at the end of June and will not be renewed, while Man United will do their best to move Casemiro on, which would open up space for a new midfielder to arrive.
Kobbie Mainoo is believed to be considering rejecting the chance to sign a new deal at Old Trafford in order to seek a move abroad, while Alejandro Garnacho is being linked with a high-profile exit, so there could be a lot of change at the club this summer.
A £25m bargain: Man United 'lining up stunning striker move'
Manchester United could reportedly make a move for Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic during this summer's transfer window.
The 25-year-old has entered the final 18 months of his contract at Juventus, and there is currently a host of speculation surrounding his future, with Arsenal and Aston Villa believed to be considering making a move for him at the end of the season.
Arsenal were heavily linked with Vlahovic in January 2022, but the striker ultimately made the switch to the Old Lady from Fiorentina, and he has represented his current side on 135 occasions, scoring 55 goals and registering 11 assists in the process.
This season, the Serbia international has 14 goals and two assists in 34 appearances for Juventus, including nine goals and one assist in Serie A, but his long-term future in Turin is unclear.
Arsenal, Barca or Man United? Clear favourite 'emerges' for Espanyol's Garcia
Arsenal are reportedly at the head of the queue for Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia, with the Gunners said to be in pole position to secure his services during this summer's transfer window.
There is currently a host of speculation surrounding the Spaniard's future, with Barcelona and Manchester United believed to have joined Arsenal in pursuit of the 23-year-old, who has had a strong campaign for Espanyol.
Arsenal are believed to have offered in the region of €20m (£16.6m) for Garcia last year, with the Gunners looking to sign a replacement for Aaron Ramsdale, but Espanyol rejected the bid.
There is a €30m (£24.8m) release clause in his contract, but Espanyol director Fran Garagarza has said that the goalkeeper could leave for less than his buy-out fee during this summer's transfer market.
Battle lines are drawn: Bayern, Real Madrid 'to fight' for Man United ace
Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in signing Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot during this summer's transfer window, but the German giants could face competition from Real Madrid.
Dalot, 25, made the move to Old Trafford from Porto in 2018, and he has represented the Red Devils on 200 occasions, scoring seven goals and registering 13 assists in the process.
The Portugal international has again been a hugely important figure for Man United this term, scoring once and providing three assists in 43 appearances, and he has a contract at Old Trafford until June 2028, with the option of a further 12 months.
Man United are expected to bring in a new right-sided wing-back this summer, though, with Sporting Lisbon's Geovany Quenda believed to be the leading target for the club.
"A little bit concerned": Where does Champions League exit leave contract talks?
Liverpool fans should be more concerned about Trent Alexander-Arnold's contract situation than Mohamed Salah's or Virgil van Dijk's, Reds transfer expert David Lynch has warned.
Arne Slot's side were dumped out of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night, losing 1-0 on in regulation time before going down 4-1 in a penalty shootout.
With Liverpool having exited at the round of 16 stage and with the Premier League almost certainly wrapped up, attention will soon turn to the three stars out of contract.
Van Dijk, Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold are set to leave the club at the end of the season as things stand, and Lynch expressed his concern that the latter is the most likely to depart Anfield, telling Sports Mole: "One area where you might be a little bit worried is Trent. Liverpool would have liked to have had that wrapped up by now.
