Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Old Trafford.

Bayer Leverkusen attacker Kai Havertz has reportedly agreed personal terms with Chelsea ahead of a proposed move to Stamford Bridge during this summer's transfer window.

The 21-year-old has allegedly told Leverkusen that he wants to join Frank Lampard's side ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, despite interest from the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United.

According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, there is already a 'total agreement' between Havertz's agent and Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia when it comes to personal terms.

Schira claims that the Germany international has agreed a five-year contract worth €8m (£7.2m) a year plus add-ons, although Chelsea are yet to settle on a transfer fee with Leverkusen.

A recent report claimed that the Premier League club were waiting to make sure of a Champions League spot for the 2020-21 campaign before launching an official bid.

Havertz, who is capable of playing in a number of different forward positions, scored 17 times and registered nine assists in 43 appearances for Leverkusen during the 2019-20 campaign.



Manchester City 'want Riyad Mahrez to help them sign Ismael Bennacer'

Manchester City are reportedly planning to enlist the help of Riyad Mahrez to persuade AC Milan midfielder Ismael Bennacer to join the club this summer.

The 22-year-old has been in impressive form for his Italian club during the 2019-20 campaign, and a number of sides, including Manchester United, have been linked with a potential move.

City are also thought to be admirers of the midfielder, though, and according to Le 10 Sport, the Citizens could use Mahrez in an attempt to win the race for his signature.

Mahrez plays alongside Bennacer for Algeria, and it is thought that the former's presence at the Etihad Stadium could be key when it comes to securing a deal.

A recent report claimed that the former Arsenal youngster could be available for a figure in the region of €50m (£45m) during this summer's transfer window.

Bennacer has a contract at San Siro until the end of the 2023-24 campaign.
