Transfer news LIVE: Olise FINALizes Bayern move, Kilman joins West Ham, De Bruyne ‘agrees to City EXIT’

Kepa wanted by the Saudi club

Chelsea ace Kepa Arrizabalaga has a “significant offer” on the table to leave Stamford Bridge.

Kepa has now entered the final 12 months of the deal he signed after his world record £72.1million move to the Blues in 2018 from Athletic Bilbao.

According to Marca, the goalkeeper has a “significant offer” from a Saudi Pro League club.

The same source claims that Al-Ittihad are willing to pay the Spain international a huge salary to move to them.

But the 29-year-old is determined not to rush into anything and is said to have asked for time before making a decision.

Kepa is believed to be waiting to see if he receives other offers as he debates what life in the Middle East would be like for him and his family.

Jobe Bellingham to stay at Sunderland

Jobe Bellingham will remain at Sunderland despite interest from several Premier League clubs.

According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Bellingham will remain at the Stadium of Light for at least one more season.

Crystal Palace have been pushing to sign the player “for weeks”.

However, Jude Bellingham’s brother wants to see the Black Cats’ “ambitious project” through.

Marc Guehi leaves

Marc Guehi is set to reject the offer of a new contract at Crystal Palace, leaving the club likely to lose their three biggest stars this summer.

Palace had hoped to keep Guehi for at least one more season as they have already sold Michael Olise to Bayern Munich and Eberechi Eze has a £60m release clause, which Tottenham and Manchester City they are willing to trigger it.

The England defender has just two years left on his contract at Selhurst Park and, without persuading him to sign a new deal, Palace could be forced to cash out.

Palace want Guehi to sign a new contract that includes a release clause on his return from the European Championship, but SunSport has learned he has no intention of doing so.

The 23-year-old is understood to be keen to explore his options this summer amid interest from Manchester United, who have noted the ease with which he has adapted to playing at left-back for England in Germany despite that he has a right leg.

With Guehi having less than two years left on his contract, Palace’s negotiating position is less strong and he is likely to be a cheaper option.

Toulouse target Max Dean

France Toulouse have made a bid in excess of £1m for MK Dons striker Max Dean.

Dean, 20, has impressed for the Dons since joining the club from Leeds in January 2023.

The speedy forward scored 19 goals and provided five assists in 34 games in all competitions last season as the Dons missed out on the League Two play-off semi-finals.

Toulouse have been long-term admirers of Dean and are keen to lure him to France in this summer’s transfer window.

Arsenal target Bentley

Arsenal are planning a shock deal for Wolves goalkeeper Dan Bentley, 15 years after he left the academy.

The Gunners want Bentley as cover for his former Brentford team-mate David Raya.

Bentley sits behind Jose Sa in the pecking order at Molineux and made just five Premier League appearances last season.

Wolves manager Gary O’Neil is on the lookout for a new back-up – with Kasper Schmeichel an option.

Bentley would like a move to Arsenal, even if it will be third choice, as Aaron Ramsdale is priced at £50m and is unlikely to find a suitor.

The Gunners Academy graduate left at 15, joining Southend in 2009.

Manchester United are close to sealing a deal to sign Bologna star Joshua Zirkzee.

United have agreed terms with Zirkzee but have yet to decide how they will structure a deal with the Serie A side.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that terms have been settled between the striker and the Red Devils.

Romano also claimed that the Manchester giants must decide to pay his £34m release clause.

It is suggested that United could negotiate new terms with the Serie A side over the structure of the deal.

This means the Old Trafford outfit could look to spread the cost of the transfer over several years rather than paying the full fee outright.

New terms could be preferred by Bologna as they owe 50% of the transfer fee to Bayern Munich, this is due to a sell-on clause inserted into his contract when he left the Bundesliga giants in 2022.
