There are just seven days left in the month of July as the final month of the summer transfer window and the return of competitive football gets closer.
With Barcelona increasingly confident of hijacking Chelsea’s move for a Sevilla defender the Blues could now block one of their current player’s proposed moves to the Nou Camp while Arsenal have confirmed their interest in signing a brazilian playmaker but say no official bid has been made.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur are willing to sell a midfielder ‘for the right price’ with a Turkish side being linked and Liverpool have an offer from Juventus for one of their striker’s on the table to consider.
EFL Championship side Sheffield United hope to complete a deal for a Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder before the end of the week and Fulham are close to completing a deal for a Swiss international defender.
Elsewhere, Newcastle United have seen a bid for a Leeds United star rejected and have now identified a Burnley ace as an alternative if the Yorkshire club won’t budge on their £35 million valuation and the Magpies are also understood to be back in for a Chelsea striker but could face competition from Everton.
Finally, Manchester United could move for a player they have long been linked with if they are unable to complete a deal for Frenkie de Jong in this window.
