Ndiaye to stay at Everton?

Man Utd target Iliman Ndiaye is set to stay at Everton, according to Senegal teammate Idrissa Gueye.

The winger has been heavily linked with a move away from Merseyside, amid strong interest from Man Utd and Saudi giants Al-Hilal. Ndiaye has now joined up with Everton for their pre-season training after his post-World Cup holiday.

Clearly aware of the rumours, former Everton midfielder Gueye responded to a post welcoming Ndiaye back with the comment "here to stay." The Toffees are naturally desperate to keep hold of their star forward.

Bayindir set for Celta Vigo

Man Utd goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is on the verge of joining Celta Vigo, as per AS (via Sport Witness).

The Turkish shot-stopper is expected to leave Man Utd this summer following the free transfer arrival of Karl Darlow, and he is already in Spain to complete an initial loan move to Celta Vigo.

Bayindir is out of contract next year, though Man Utd hold a club option to extend it by a season, which could prevent a free transfer departure in 2027. However, it is clear that the goalkeeper has no future at Old Trafford, and he may join Celta permanently if his loan is successful.

Collyer available

Toby Collyer has been informed by Man Utd that he can leave the club permanently this summer, The Sun claims.

Despite being highly rated, the 22-year-old has only managed to make 13 senior appearances for the Red Devils, and he failed to impress on loan at West Brom and Hull City last season.

As a result, Man Utd have informed Collyer that his services are no longer required. He could dig his heels in and leave on a free transfer next year, but there is strong Championship interest, so a sale this summer is thought to be likely.

Lucumi race heats up

Man Utd remain interested in Bologna defender Jhon Lucumi, according to Quotidiano Sportivo.

The Red Devils have been tentatively linked with the Colombia international since his impressive World Cup performances, and the outlet claims that they remain firmly in the mix to sign him.

In fact, the race for his signature is entering a decisive stage. There have been three concrete offers so far, two coming from Juventus and one from Como. Nottingham Forest, Chelsea and Man Utd are thought to pose a serious threat to Lucumi's Italian suitors.

Sancho agreements

Former Man Utd winger Jadon Sancho has contract agreements with "a number" of clubs, Sky Sports understands.

The former €85 million signing is a free agent after running down his contract following a hugely disappointing five years at Old Trafford. Sancho spent time on loan at Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea and Aston Villa in recent years.

He is now free to choose his next club. He already has broad agreements with suitors from Europe and the Middle East, but he wants to thoroughly assess all available options before making a final decision at this crucial juncture of his faltering career.
