Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and more are open for business with the summer transfer window now officially open. 

A new centre-back is high on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s priority list at United with Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly and Leicester’s Harry Maguire both options. It won’t just be incomings at Old Trafford, however, with Paul Pogba a high-profile target for Real Madrid and Alexis Sanchez on his way out with Inter Milan and Juventus fighting it out for his signature – if he drops his wage demands. Liverpool could be active too as they look to go one better after failing to win the Premier League title by just a single point. Champions Manchester City are always big players in the market and could go big with the prospect of a potential transfer ban looming. 

We’ll have all the latest fro you throughout the day right here:

The Belgian’s contract expires at the end of next season and he has no intention of signing another.

 

They could choose to keep him and lose him for nothing in a year’s time but the Daily Mail reports they will not for fear of the FFP ramifications.

 

Real Madrid lead the chase for his signature.
