Exclusive: Thuram agrees Liverpool terms

Liverpool's midfield revolution is set to continue as Nice star Khephren Thuram has agreed personal terms with the Reds, FootballTransfers can exclusively reveal.

Exclusive: Kane wants Man Utd

We were also able to tell you that Harry Kane has his heart set on moving to Manchester United - but agreeing on a deal with Spurs may not be a straightforward affair.

Exclusive: Edu under pressure

Arsenal's recruitment team, including sporting director Edu, will be under pressure should they fail to bring in any of Arsenal's priority targets this summer, our sources have told us.

One of those targets is Declan Rice, for whom bidding officially started today and who has made his title-winning ambitions clear.

The lack of movement on Arsenal's transfer front is also delaying other clubs' business.

Liverpool announce Mac Allister

Before Liverpool agreed on terms with Thuram, they had to take care of the small matter of officially announcing the signing of Alexis Mac Allister.

But how will Mac Allister fit into Klopp's system?

Barcelona to activate Plan B

Barcelona have had to activate their 'Plan B' and rethink their transfer business following the news that Lionel Messi will not return to the club.

Some players will have to leave this summer to enable the Blaugrana to make a move. We picked out the five players who need to move on in the coming months.

Additionally, there were rumours about Neymar returning to the club and head coach Xavi decided to give his thoughts on the matter.

Inter Miami makin' moves?

Besides Lionel Messi, Inter Miami might be eyeing even more World Cup winners.

Messi is joining an illustrious list of stars who have played in the US - but who are the biggest names to have played in MLS?

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up on some more transfer news from around the globe. Chelsea have been given a big boost in their pursuit of a N'Golo Kante replacement.

Speaking of Kante, who is making a big-money move to Saudi Arabia, could he be joined there by one of his former teammates with whom he won the Premier League?

Manchester United are still looking for another goalkeeper, but they are reluctant to pay big money for a David de Gea replacement.

They have, however, also been given a massive boost in their pursuit of a new striker.

Arsenal's Folarin Balogun is set to be replaced by Football Manager favourite.

And lastly, Marco Asensio has turned down offers from not one but two Premier League clubs.
