Transfer rumours: Barça's Bernardo Silva interest; Liverpool close to Nunez signing
Liverpool are confident they have won the race for Darwin Nunez, having reached an agreement with the player over personal terms.
However, Manchester United have not given up hope of hijacking the move with agent Jorge Mendes set to hold talks with the club soon.
Liverpool hope that part of the funding for the Nunez transfer will come from Bayern Munich meeting their £40m valuation of Sadio Mane.
Barcelona are considering moving for Manchester City's Bernardo Silva, but the finances of a deal will only work if the Catalan giants can offload Frenkie de Jong this summer. Silva's agent has also raised the prospect of the Blaugrana signing Rafael Leao from Milan.
Raheem Sterling could be on the move this summer. Europe's top clubs are on high alert and Chelsea are among those weighing up a bid.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is attracting interest and Manchester United could be ready to make a surprise swoop.
The race to sign Lille defender Sven Botman has taken another turn, with PSG registering their interest. Milan had seemed favourites to secure his signature but Newcastle remain in contention too, while Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea have enquired recently as well.
Manchester City and Real Madrid are monitoring Reece James' situation closely. The right-back is yet to be offered improved terms at Stamford Bridge.
Newcastle have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Moussa Diaby with Bayer Leverkusen publicly stating they have no intention of selling the winger during the transfer window.
