Cristiano Ronaldo remains heavily linked with a Manchester United exit, with Napoli being billed as a potential destination.

Frenkie de Jong has travelled to England in the final days of the transfer window, sparking renewed speculation amid ongoing Manchester United, Chelsea and even Liverpool rumours. But the trip to London is thought to be a personal sightseeing mini-break and no more.

In their hunt for a midfielder, Liverpool are thinking through a possible£42m offer for Brighton talent Moises Caicedo.

Chelsea are still hoping to complete additional deals for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Anthony Gordon in the final days of the transfer window once Wesley Fofana is signed. The Leicester centre-back is doing a medical in the United States.

Paris Saint-Germain are monitoring N’Golo Kante, who will turn 32 this season and has entered the final year of his Chelsea contract.

Tottenham have been linked with a surprise loan move for Leeds winger Daniel James.

Manchester United have turned down interest from West Ham and Crystal Palace in Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The out of favour right-back has also been bizarrely linked with Barcelona in some sort of swap deal for Sergino Dest.

Ajax are considering Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey and Sevilla’s Lucas Ocampos after growing frustrated with Chelsea in their pursuit of Hakim Ziyech. A potential deal for Ziyech would be a loan with Chelsea paying a considerable chunk of his wages.

Juventus are targeting Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Leandro Paredes, but could turn to Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz if that approach fails.
