16:00 UPDATE: Bruno Fernandes deal

Manchester United are set to accelerate their pursuit of Sporting Lisbon star Bruno Fernandes.

That’s according to ESPN FC, who claim Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is determined to bolster his midfield options.

The Norwegian tactician is also interested in Sean Longstaff, Saul Niguez and Youri Tielemans.

ESPN FC claim informal meetings have taken place between United and his agent Miguel Pinho in London.

It’s believed Sporting value the Portuguese midfielder at £65million.

15:45 UPDATE: Arenal overhaul

Unai Emery is closing in on two summer signings with four players nearing the exit door.

Arsenal are working with a reduced transfer budget after failing to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Those funds look set to be completely wiped out by their first two summer deals, with Celtic’s Kieran Tierney (£20m) and Saint-Etienne’s William Saliba (£23m) in talks.

According to the Daily Star, those two deals will get over the line over the next two weeks, and four other players could be put on the transfer list in a bid to raise money for other potential signings.

Shkodran Mustafi, Nacho Monreal Laurent Koscielny and Calum Chambers have all been linked with exits and could leave the club this summer.

15:30 UPDATE: Liverpool exit

Marko Grujic is set for another spell in the Bundesliga.

Grujic, 23, impressed during his time with Hertha Berlin last season and other German clubs are expected to challenge for his signature.

ESPN FC claim Werder Bremen and Eintracht Frankfurt are battling Hertha for the Serbia international, who last played for Liverpool in December 2017.

It’s said that Jurgen Klopp’s side want to send Grujic for a third loan spell away from Anfield.

15:15 UPDATE: Marcos Llorente is happy

Marcos Llorente has pledged his full commitment to Atletico Madrid – after his move from city rivals Real appeared to nudge Rodri towards the exit door.

Llorente’s move last week for a reported £35million saw him follow his father Paco Llorente Gento in moving between the Madrid giants.

After five years of sporadic first-team appearances in all white, the 24-year-old is switching to red and white stripes – although the more interesting detail of his new shirt is perhaps the number 14 on the back, worn up to now by fellow midfielder Rodri who is a widely reported target for Premier League champions Manchester City.

“I wear it naturally,” Llorente told Marca. “I know (moving from Real to Atletico) doesn’t happen often but it was the best thing for me and I’m happy and glad to be here.”
