The summer transfer window is now in full swing and updates are happening left, right and centre.

So, here's your FootballTransfers recap on Tuesday, 4 July.

Mount to leave Chelsea

Mason Mount posted a goodbye video on social media to confirm that he has decided to leave Chelsea this summer. The England international will join Manchester United, where he is expected to earn an eye-watering salary worth at least £250,000 per week.

Lavia wants Arsenal

Romeo Lavia wants to join Arsenal, rather than Liverpool or Chelsea, as reported exclusively by FootballTransfers. The Belgian international has been heavily linked with an exit from Southampton this summer following their relegation to the Championship, and he is attracted to the Gunners' project under Mikel Arteta.

Lindstrom to leave Eintracht Frankfurt?

Eintracht Frankfurt star Jesper Lindstrom wants to leave the club this summer, FootballTransfers understand. The Dane has been linked with a move to Newcastle United and he wants to play in the Champions League next campaign. His desire to leave has been accelerated by Oliver Glasner's sacking in May.

Hojlund keen on Man Utd transfer

Atalanta wonderkid Rasmus Hojlund, dubbed the 'next Erling Haaland', wants to join Man Utd, according to Fabrizio Romano. It would reportedly take €70 million for the Serie A club to consider a sale, however.

Bayern continue Kane talks

According to sources in Germany, Bayern's technical director Marco Neppe has convinced Kane to join the Bavarian giants this summer and talks with Tottenham Hotspur are ongoing. Bayern have already had a €70m offer turned down by the north London club.

Saudi Arabia wants Mendy

After securing a deal to bring Karim Benzema to Saudi Arabia, the PIF are now working on signing Real Madrid star Ferland Mendy too. The Frenchman may find himself down the pecking order next year after Los Blancos secured the signature of Fran Garcia and the Spanish giants could receive a bid of roughly €30m for the Frenchman.

Osimhen offered new contract

Napoli have reportedly offered Victor Osimhen a new deal that will run until 2027 and will include a big salary increase to €6.5 million per season plus bonuses. The Nigerian international has been linked with Chelsea and Man Utd, but the Serie A side aren't willing to let him go cheap and are keen to retain his services.

Neymar fined

Neymar has been fined €3m by a Brazilian state prosecutor for failing to comply with environmental regulations in Rio de Janeiro.

Arsenal make stellar free transfer signing

After seeing a world record bid turned down in January, Arsenal have completed the signing of Manchester United star Alessia Russo on a free transfer upon the expiration of her contract at Old Trafford.

Guler to join Madrid

Arda Guler, nicknamed the 'Turkish Messi', has decided to reject the chance of joining Barcelona and has instead opted to sign for Real Madrid. Los Blancos are expected to complete the deal in the coming days.
