LIVE transfer news: Man Utd have three stars, Chelsea’s second diversion, Liverpool exit plea | Football | Sports

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl is unsure if they will be able to sign Jadon Sancho on a permanent basis.

The winger spent half the season on loan from Manchester United and is expected to leave the Red Devils again this summer.

Speaking ahead of last night’s Champions League final, Kehl said: “I don’t know yet, to be honest, because it’s been great to have him for the last six months.

“It has increased our quality in the team and they are looking forward to the final. He wants to win and everything will be decided after that.

“The situation is quite clear. He still has a contract at United, we don’t have an option to buy, which means we have to talk and negotiate. I don’t know if it will work.”

Crystal Palace are keen to sign Luton Town duo Alfie Doughty and Teden Mengi this summer, according to The Mirror.

The Eagles are said to be planning a raid on Luton following their relegation from the Premier League after just one season.

Doughty has impressed at left-back for the Hatters and is believed to be attracting interest from the top flight.

Mengi, meanwhile, was a regular under Rob Edwards last season after joining the club from Manchester United.

Liverpool have “intensified their contacts” with FC Porto star Alan Varela in the hope of securing his signature, reports AS.

The Reds are expected to strengthen their midfield positions under Arne Slot and reports have emerged claiming Varela is among their considerations.

The playmaker currently has a £59m release clause in his contract with Porto, but Liverpool are said to have touched base with Porto to see if there is a possibility of agreeing a lower fee .

Arsenal are planning a double strike for Croatian pair Lovro Chelfi, 16, and Niko Tomasevic, 17, Index reports.

The Gunners are said to have been heavily scouting the pair and a fee of around £3m could be enough to sign the duo from Kustosija.

Both players are described as “extremely talented” and Arsenal are hoping to beat Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund in the race to sign them both.

Kylian Mbappe has signed all the papers to become a Real Madrid player, reports Fabrizio Romano.

The France international will join Los Blancos as a free agent after losing his contract with Paris Saint-German, much to their frustration.

Mbappe decided in February that he would join Madrid, who have been desperate for his services in recent years and have tabled several huge bids in a bid to secure his signature.

Fulham have reportedly made Emile Smith Rowe one of their top targets ahead of the summer transfer window.

According to the Telegraph , the Arsenal midfielder has become a “priority” at Craven Cottage after barely playing for the Gunners last season due to injuries.

Smith Rowe came through Arsenal’s academy and therefore any fee raised since his departure would represent a pure profit on the boyhood side’s balance sheet.

Fulham are said to be leading the race for the versatile playmaker, although there may also be suitors from across Europe.

Chelsea are considering joining the race to sign Las Palmas star Alvaro Valles, who is attracting interest from Europe’s top clubs.

Soon-to-be Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is keen to secure the services of a new No.1 who is comfortable playing from the back and could thrive in his possession-based system.

As a result, several options are being evaluated by the Blues. According to The Mirror, Las Valles are among those being monitored following an impressive campaign in La Liga.

Arsenal sent scouts to watch Valles previously, with a replacement needed if Aaron Ramsdale is granted his wish to leave the club for good this summer. Wolves and Real Betis are also among the admirers of the Las Palmas academy graduate.

Chelsea will reportedly confirm the signing of Tosin Adarabioyo next week.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues believe the defender will sign with the club in the coming days now that a verbal agreement is in place.

Newcastle have been locked in negotiations with Adarabioyo in recent weeks, but the centre-back believes he has now chosen “the best project for his future”.

The race to sign Assan Ouedraogo is back.

Bayern Munich came close to a deal to sign the teenager from Schalke this summer, but Sky Sports Germany have reported that the Bavarians have cooled their interest in recent hours.

Ouedraogo has also been linked with Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea, and the trio of Premier League clubs will be closely monitoring the 18-year-old now to see if they can make a swoop.

Arsenal have inquired about the availability of Barcelona prospect Mikayil Faye, the Daily Mail reports.

The versatile defender was expected to be integrated into the first team next season under Xavi, but Barca’s decision to offload the Spaniard has prompted Faye’s suitors to try to pounce on the situation.

Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen are all interested in the 19-year-old, with Arsenal now joining the teenager’s growing list of admirers.

A fee of around £17m is expected to test Barca’s resolve, although it remains to be seen whether Hansi Flick has long-term plans to involve Faye.

Liverpool prospect Sepp van den Berg has revealed he wants to leave the club this summer.

The defender enjoyed a very successful loan spell at Mainz last season and was thought to have earned his chance to impress Arne Slot in pre-season.

However, Van den Berg does not seem to have any interest in fighting for a place in the Liverpool squad. He told De Telegraaf that he wants to leave the Merseyside outfit this summer and was left unhappy with Liverpool valuing him at £20m.

He said: “You (Liverpool) have shown no confidence in me all this time but you want to prevent my future. I want to keep playing every week and keep developing.

“In Germany I enjoy going to Dortmund with 70,000 men, Bayern Munich coming out against Harry Kane, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Leverkusen, against clubs like that I’m challenged with every week.”

Chelsea are plotting a move for Leeds United star Crycensio Summerville, reports Fabrizio Romano.

The winger has been heavily linked with joining Liverpool this summer to work under Arne Slot, but the Blues appear to be trying to scuttle that move in the hope of bolstering their options on the right.

Chelsea have already successfully thwarted Newcastle’s move for Tosin Adarabioyo, with his Stamford Bridge medical now booked, and a move for Summerville would certainly fly feathers at Anfield.

Erik ten Hag has revealed that Manchester United have three main transfer priorities this summer.

After an injury-riddled campaign that saw the Red Devils finish eighth in the Premier League, the Dutchman called for reinforcements in a number of different departments.

He said: “We need to get a striker to work alongside Rasmus Hojlund. I also hope we can get another central midfielder and also a replacement for Varane.

“Then I think things will look very good for next season – with the caveat that the players are fit and stay fit. Then you can start playing in the top four with such an eleven. That gives me hope and it’s also realistic in my eyes.”
