Thursday saw Manchester United finally announce the signing of Andre Onana.

Plus, PSG are reportedly readying a mind-blowing contract offer to keep Kylian Mbappe at the club and Harry Maguire has officially been stripped of the Red Devils captaincy. There's plenty to cover, so let's jump right in.

Exclusive: Stonewall on Henderson's Saudi move

In light of Jordan Henderson's imminent move to Al Ettifaq, FootballTransfers reached out to LGBTQIA+ organisation Stonewall for comment on the situation given Henderson's previous involvement with the Rainbow Laces campaign and Saudi Arabia's dire record regarding LGBTQIA+ rights.

Exclusive: Gnonto ready for Everton switch

Italian winger Wilfried Gnonto of relegated Leeds would be open to signing for Everton, FootballTransfers can exclusively reveal.

Man Utd announce Onana

Manchester United have announced the signing of Andre Onana from Inter in a deal worth €55 million, making him the third-most expensive goalkeeper in history.

Who else is in the top 10, you ask? Well, we got you covered.

The transfer is bound to be a transformative one for the Red Devils; in fact, it could be the most important of the Erik ten Hag era.

We can also already make some educated guesses as to when the 27-year-old will make his United debut.

Former No1 David de Gea has meanwhile rejected the chance to replace Onana at the San Siro.

Maguire stripped of captaincy

Rumoured for a while and now officially confirmed, Manchester United have stripped Harry Maguire of the captaincy, with Bruno Fernandes replacing the defender who appears bound for the exit.

PSG's Mbappe offer

PSG are reportedly readying a €1 billion package to convince potentially Real Madrid-bound Kylian Mbappe to stay in Paris.

Chelsea's Fofana replacement

Wesley Fofana has, once again, suffered a knee injury, but do Chelsea need to dip into the market to bring in a replacement? We're not so sure.

Barcelona's transfer madness

In light of Fabrizio Romano's revelation that Joao Felix is desperate to sign for Barcelona, conflicting reports have emerged. The Italian claims that the Blaugrana want to try to make a deal happen despite their dire financial situation.

But a Spanish outlet claims that head coach Xavi has other priorities.

Barcelona have apparently also been offered a truly ridiculous swap deal by Juventus.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some more transfer news from around the world. Apropos of Barcelona, Inter Miami have signed Jordi Alba, but that will likely be the last Barcelona reunion in Fort Lauderdale.

A few weeks ago, Sadio Mane proclaimed that, god willing, he will stay at Bayern, but it appears that god now wants him to move to Ryadh to team up with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Manchester United have received good news on not one but two transfer targets.

They will also launch finally launch an official bid for Rasmus Hojlund soon to prevent a deal from being hijacked.

One of their forward targets is already the subject of bids, however.

United could also launch a surprise bid for one of their midfield targets as early as this weekend.

Harry Kane has rejected Tottenham's latest transfer offer and he has reportedly no intention of staying at Spurs.

It has been revealed that disgraced ex-Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy, now of Lorient, had offers to remain in the Premier League.

Chelsea are pushing to strike a deal for Moises Caicedo.

And finally, they are also in talks of signing another high-profile striker.
