Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is now expected to stay at the club despite serious interest from Manchester United and Chelsea. Liverpool have also been keeping tabs on the Dutchman's situation at Camp Nou.

Bayern Munich have ruled out making a late move for De Jong even though they've been unable to tie up a deal for RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer.

Callum Hudson-Odoi is to undergo a medical with Bayer Leverkusen ahead of a season-long loan move from Chelsea.
