Transfer News LIVE - Every rumour, every done deal: Deadline Day success and failure

Man Utd want to sign Fabian Ruiz from Paris Saint-Germain.

It remains to be seen whether a Champions League winner in one of the best teams in the world would want to sign for a side that finished 15th in the Premier League last season, but the Red Devils are looking to pursue a deal anyway.

Crystal Palace are on the cusp of agreeing a deal for Ousmane Diomande.

With Marc Guehi looking likely to leave for Liverpool, Palace are keen on a big-name replacement and could pull off a club-record deal for the Sporting CP defender.

A Bola reports that a €55 million transfer is on the cards.

There seems to be issues within the Inter squad as following the Club World Cup exit at the hands of Fluminense, Lautaro Martinez said:

“I want to fight for top titles. Who wants to stay at Inter, very good and let’s fight. Who doesn’t want to stay, they can go and leave. We need players who want to be here. We are wearing an important jersey. We need top mentality or please, leave”.

Inter president Giuseppe Marotta reacted to those comments, calling out Hakan Calhanogly specifically: “Lautaro’s message on players who don’t want to stay? He didn’t say… but I’ll say that. It was for Hakan Calhanoglu. We will speak with Hakan. If there will be conditions to part ways, we will do it with ZERO problems”.

Joao Pedro has completed his Chelsea medical.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed on X: 

"Understand João Pedro has completed his medical as new Chelsea player in the US! Contract to be signed today as it will be valid until June 2032. £55m plus £5m add-ons to Brighton."

Man Utd released nine players at the end of their contracts this morning.

Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans, Hubert Graczyk, Jack Kingdon, Sam Murray, Tom Myles, James Nolan and Tom Wooster will all move on to pastures new.

That is, of course, apart from Evans, who has moved into a development role with the club.

Aston Villa will not sign Marcus Rashford on a permanent basis from Man Utd.

The forward spent the second half of last season on loan at Villa after falling out of favour with Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford. He will definitely leave Man Utd this summer, with Barcelona his preferred option, though his high wages may prove a stumbling block.

The Mirror reports that the current plan is for Rashford to return to United for pre-season as Villa won't be paying the £40 million fee required to sign him permanently.

Chelsea are on the cusp of signing Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens but will continue spending in the transfer market this summer.

Their summer outlay will exceed €245 million once Gittens and Pedro are both formally unveiled by the club, following the arrivals of Liam Delap, Estevao Willian, Dario Essugo, Mamadou Sarr and Kendry Paez.

Fabrizio Romano says they aren't done, writing on Instagram: “Chelsea are not messing around. Four additions to their attacking department are set to be added for the upcoming season, all deals sealed. Jamie Gittens from BVB. Estevao Willian from Palmeiras. Joao Pedro from Brighton. Liam Delap from Ipswich. [Plus] Geovany Quenda in 2026 from Sporting. And yes, they’re not done yet on the market.”

Man Utd have approached Aston Villa over a potential deal for Ollie Watkins.

The Red Devils are keen to add a top-class striker to their squad ahead of next season after less-than-convincing showings from Rasmus Hojlund, with Marcus Rashford also set to leave the club.

The dream acquisition would be Viktor Gyokeres but he fancies a move to Arsenal more, so United have looked to the Premier League, with Watkins a capable alternative.
