Real Madrid winger Vinícius Júnior vowed to keep speaking out against racism in world soccer after receiving the Socrates Award on Monday at the Ballon d’Or ceremony for his contribution off the field.
Vinícius, who has been racially abused repeatedly in LaLiga games over the last two seasons, was recognized for starting a foundation that is building schools in impoverished areas and investing in education in Brazil.
“I will remain strong in the fight against racism,” said the Brazilian, who received the award from the Prince of Monaco. “It is a very sad thing to talk about racism nowadays, but we have to continue in the fight so that people suffer less.
“Very happy to receive this award and to help many children in Brazil. I had little chance of getting where I have coming from where I came so it is a pleasure for me to help as many kid as I can so they can have a chance.”
The 23-year-old was the only Brazilian in the top 10 of the ranking for this year’s Ballon d’Or after scoring 23 goals in all competitions for Madrid last season.
The forward was also part of an emotional tribute to Pelé, the Brazil great who died in December last year at the age of 82.
“Pele is a god for me and if I am here today, it is thanks to him. He put Brazil on a different level and people respect Brazilian players thanks to the great legacy he left,” Vinicius said.
The Vini Jr. Institute, created in 2020, aims to use the popularity of football to help innovations in teaching and learning in Brazilian public schools.
The project claims up to 15 schools and 10,000 students will benefit by the end of 2023, with more than 500 teachers employed.

LONDON — England booked their place at Euro 2024 on Tuesday night with the sort of victory that suggests they might soon be ready to clear the final hurdle in their path to tournament glory.
Perhaps the last challenge Gareth Southgate has to overcome in ending the Three Lions’ 58-year wait for a major trophy next summer is consistently beating the best sides in world football.
England have reached a semifinal, a final and a quarterfinal in Southgate’s three tournaments as manager, but his critics frequently point out that defeats to Croatia, Italy and France to end those runs are symptomatic of a longstanding problem in imposing themselves on the elite.
– Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)
Southgate’s record against sides currently ranked in FIFA’s top 10 prior to Tuesday’s 3-1 triumph over Italy was as follows: 27 games, seven wins, nine draws, 11 losses equating to a win rate of just 26%.
In that context, then, this was a performance that can have England fans daring to dream of what might be possible in Germany next summer, a deserved success coming from behind against the current European champions.
Of course, any talk of revenge was fanciful given the differing stakes, but this will nevertheless contain a cathartic feel for England, beating Italy two years on from their delayed Euro 2020 penalty shootout defeat in the final, Marcus Rashford scoring at the end after he missed one of the decisive spot-kicks.
Eight of that starting lineup began the game here — only Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling were absent — but it was Jude Bellingham who stole the show with an all-action performance encapsulated by England’s second goal.
It will be a further fillip to England’s self-belief that they recovered from a shaky start, conceding to Gianluca Scamacca’s well-worked 15th-minute opener. In reply, Bellingham was brought down by Giovanni Di Lorenzo for Harry Kane to convert a 32nd-minute penalty before he produced one of those game-changing moments for which he is rapidly earning such a lofty reputation.
The 20-year-old — yes, still just 20 — won the ball before collecting Phil Foden’s pass with the sort of surge forward associated with Paul Gascoigne, watching on among the 83,194-crowd, in his prime before releasing Rashford, who cut inside and thrashed a low shot past Gianluigi Donnarumma. Kane added a third with the sort of assured centre-forward play that provided yet another reminder he has few modern-day peers, registering his 61st international goal with a wonderfully assured finish.
Southgate enjoys chipping away at England’s historic millstones. After beating Italy in Italy for the first time since 1961 back in March, England secured their first victory over the Azzurri on home soil since 1977.
These are not decisive achievements by themselves but nevertheless serve as a reminder England have not been as good as they would have liked for a long, long time, and Southgate, steeped as he is in Three Lions history, knows progress is a capricious animal. For a team that failed to even reach Euro 2008, securing qualification as comfortably as this should not be taken for granted. Nights like this are tangible proof England are evolving toward something like the finished article they need to be to triumph in Germany, collecting positive experiences that must help them execute their game plan when the pressure becomes most acute next summer.
England have looked at their most exhilarating in recent times when unleashing a new talent on the world stage — think Michael Owen in 1998 or Wayne Rooney in 2004 — and Bellingham has the capacity to make the same impact, even if the cat is well and truly out of the bag given his remarkable form for Real Madrid this season.
Southgate has reshuffled his midfield to give him the platform to affect games from something approximating a No. 10 position, a decision that looks increasingly justifiable with each passing week.
Just as Bellingham excelled against Scotland, so he did against better opposition here, quietening any prematch grumbles over the inclusion of Kalvin Phillips as part of that platform despite 167 minutes of first-team action at Manchester City this season. Phillips was fortunate not to be sent off here, picking up an early yellow card for an agricultural challenge on Davide Frattesi before escaping a second despite a late tackle on Nicolò Barella. He was substituted for his own good, and the 70 minutes he played here means he now has more time on the field for England (188 minutes) than his club since August. Jordan Henderson received a mixed reception, yet again, as his replacement.
Yet England’s attacking play benefitted from the Phillips-Declan Rice axis in central midfield. Kane ended the evening as England’s record goal scorer at Wembley — surpassing Sir Bobby Charlton with 24 goals at this iconic venue — and his influence stretching back over such a sustained period is profound: the 30-year-old has been directly involved in 33 goals in his past 30 appearances for England (27 goals and six assists), including either scoring or assisting in each of his past 10 games.
Rashford, Bellingham and Foden floating around him looked dangerous all evening following that slow start. Bukayo Saka will come back from injury while Jack Grealish and James Maddison sat unused on the bench.
Excitement will now build if Southgate has the majority of these players fit and available next summer. The ultimate question remains whether they can put it together against the very best, but wins like this engender fresh hope.

Chelsea are willing to listen to offers for defender Marc Cucurella ahead of a possible January transfer move, sources have told ESPN.
The £62 million ($75.5m) signing from Brighton made his second appearance of the season in Wednesday’s 1-0 Carabao Cup fourth-round win against his former club but is yet to play a single Premier League minute since Mauricio Pochettino became head coach in July.
– Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)
Cucurella told ESPN as part of an exclusive interview in July that he wanted to stay at the club and fight for his place but a lack of regular minutes in the coming months will likely force a rethink.
Chelsea were ready to allow the 25-year-old to join Manchester United on loan this summer but the deal collapsed after Cucurella played in the club’s previous Carabao Cup tie against AFC Wimbledon.
FIFA regulations stipulate that a player cannot represent three clubs in a single season and given United wanted to insert a break clause in any deal to allow them to return Cucurella to Chelsea, talks broke down.
Reports in Spain have linked Real Madrid with a possible loan bid in January and the prospect of returning to the country of his birth is thought to appeal to Cucurella. United are unlikely to re-enter the running given they signed Sergio Reguilón on loan from Tottenham after switching their attentions from Cucurella.
Chelsea would prefer a permanent transfer to help balance the books after another summer of spending which took Chelsea’s total outlay on transfers past the £1 billion mark since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital completed their takeover of the club last May.

The transfer window has entered its final stages as the clock ticks down to Friday’s deadline. The Premier League is set to close for business at 6 p.m. ET / 11 p.m. BST (find out when other leagues close here), but despite time running out for deals to do be done, there are still lots of club and players around Europe aiming to get moves over the line.
Some will get done, others will fizzle out before the deadline, while there are players who will be linked over the next 24 hours who are highly unlikely to join a new team.
Here are some deals that could happen on Friday.

Mohamed Salah: Liverpool to Al Ittihad
File this one in the “highly unlikely” category, but because of the sums reported to be involved in terms of potential transfer fee (£118m) and wages (£65m per year), Al Ittihad’s interest in the Liverpool forward must be taken seriously. Liverpool insist Salah is going nowhere, while the Saudi window is open until Sept. 20, but it’s still one to watch.
Sofyan Amrabat: Fiorentina to Manchester United
Manchester United have held a summerlong interest in the Morocco midfielder, but financial restrictions at Old Trafford mean they can only structure a loan move. United’s initial offer was rejected by the Serie A club, but the player is keen to sign, so this one should get done.
Eric Dier: Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich or Fulham
The versatile Tottenham defender is the subject of interest from Fulham and Bayern Munich, while he has been told he can leave Spurs by coach Ange Postecoglou. It’s a straight choice: stay in London with Fulham or hook up with close friend and former Spurs teammate Harry Kane at Bayern. Though Bayern are also tracking Fulham’s João Palhinha, so that could make an impact on where he ends up.

Hislop urges Maguire to leave Man United
Shaka Hislop believes Harry Maguire should leave Manchester United if he wants to further develop his career.
Harry Maguire: Man United to West Ham United
Man United boss Erik ten Hag is happy to offload the world’s most expensive defender (£80m), and West Ham are prepared to strike a £30m deal to sign him, but despite a lack of opportunities at Old Trafford, Maguire is resisting a move. Deadline day may prompt a late U-turn by the England international.
Ansu Fati: Barcelona to Brighton
Brighton have moved ahead of Tottenham in the race to sign the Barcelona forward on a season-long loan. The prospect of European football at the Amex and Brighton’s reputation as a club that dramatically improves players is likely to swing the deal in Brighton’s favour. As a result, Barca could land João Félix on loan from Atletico Madrid as a replacement.
Jesse Lingard to West Ham
The former Manchester United midfielder is a free agent after seeing out a 12-month deal at Nottingham Forest. The 30-year-old has seen interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, but West Ham are frontrunners after opening talks to re-sign a player who impressed during a loan spell at the London Stadium in 2021.

Laurens: Chelsea would drive Cucurella to Man United themselves
Julien Laurens explains why he doesn’t feel a loan move for Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella makes sense for Manchester United.
Marc Cucurella: Chelsea to Man United
Just 12 months after sealing a £63m move from Brighton to Chelsea, Cucurella is on the way out at Stamford Bridge with Manchester United close to agreeing a loan deal to solve their injury crisis at left-back after injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.
Ryan Gravenberch: Bayern to Manchester United or Liverpool
Liverpool and Manchester United are both interested in signing the Bayern Munich midfielder, but with United focusing their attention on Amrabat, the path is clear for Liverpool to seal a loan deal for the 21-year-old, who only signed from Ajax last summer for €18m.
Randal Kolo Muani: Eintracht Frankfurt to Paris Saint-Germain
The Eintracht Frankfurt forward is holding out for an €80m move to Paris Saint-Germain and is refusing to train with the Bundesliga club in an effort to force the transfer to go ahead. PSG need a forward, so expect this one to happen, with Hugo Ekitike possibly moving the other way as part of the deal.

Burley: This Tottenham squad is not good or deep enough
Craig Burley gives his thoughts on Tottenham’s exit from the Carabao Cup in the second round.
Brennan Johnson: Nottingham Forest to Tottenham or Brentford
Tottenham are pushing hard to sign the Wales forward as they attempt to reinvest the £88m received from Bayern Munich for Harry Kane. Forest want at least £50m from clubs keen on Johnson and, with Spurs set to miss out on Ansu Fati to Brighton, Postecoglou could move for him. Brentford are also reportedly in the battle and have had a £43m bid rejected.
Donny van de Beek: Man United to Lorient or Galatasaray
French club Lorient and Turkish side Galatasaray are both in talks with Manchester United over a move for the former Ajax midfielder. Van de Beek, who signed for €45m from Ajax in 2020, has endured a miserable three years at Old Trafford and has no prospect of game time, so a deal with either club is likely.
João Cancelo: Man City to Barcelona
Barcelona want to sign the Portugal defender from Manchester City, and a loan deal is likely. But the LaLiga champions must offload a number of players to enable them to register him with the league to comply with their salary cap regulations.

BURNLEY, England — New season, same old Erling Haaland.
Pep Guardiola spent the week before Manchester City’s game at Burnley trying to lower expectations for how the treble winners might start the new campaign, but Haaland clearly doesn’t watch his manager’s pre-match news conferences. It took the Norwegian striker just four minutes to score his first goal on the Premier League’s opening night, and by the time he walked off at half-time he had two. He was substituted 10 minutes from time with the game over at 3-0 and his job done.
– Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)
Haaland has now scored opening day braces in each of his last four seasons — twice for Borussia Dortmund and twice for City — so it really shouldn’t be a surprise. You’d think people would learn not to write him off after drawing a blank in the Community Shield.
“It was deja vu,” said Guardiola afterwards. “Last season against Liverpool [in the Community Shield] he didn’t score and then against West Ham [in the first league game] he scored two goals. Today was quite similar.”
Listening to Guardiola speak at the CFA on Thursday, he gave the impression his team were underprepared and undercooked ahead of the trip to Turf Moor, but City are still the team to beat and Haaland is still the most dangerous centre-forward in the league. He scored 52 in 54 games last season — 36 in 35 games in the Premier League — and on this evidence, you wouldn’t put it past him to better it this time. Guardiola says it’s “impossible” but you wouldn’t bet against City repeating the treble, either. There’s a reason they’re already favourites to win everything.
“To come here to a promoted side is always so tricky,” said Guardiola. “The first game against a newly promoted team will always be difficult. They give everything but we were fortunate to find a goal so quick. We started well. We found a goal, we struggled a bit after. We gave away balls, our pass created problems but after a while we played much, much better.”
It wasn’t a night when everything went City’s way. Defender Rúben Dias was ruled out with concussion and Kevin De Bruyne was forced off midway through the first half with an injury, but a dangerous game against a newly-promoted side in front of their home fans was navigated with minimal fuss. Josko Gvardiol, the second most expensive defender in the world after his €90m ($98m) move from RB Leipzig, was only needed for the final 12 minutes.
Burnley, whose substitute Anass Zaroury was sent off in stoppage time, had their moments and there was enough there to suggest Vincent Kompany’s side have every chance of staying in the division. With an average age of 23 years and 206 days, Burnley fielded the youngest ever starting XI in Premier League history which also included five new signings, and the hope will be that they will grow into the challenge of turning Championship dominance into top-flight survival. Kompany will be disappointed to concede from two set pieces but few teams, regardless of experience, can live with the ruthlessness of Haaland.
After 35 minutes, the Norwegian had touched the ball nine times and scored twice. His second was a thing of beauty, whipping his finish into the top corner with his left foot from a standing start. Haaland will score plenty more this season, but he might not get a better one than that. You could tell by the smirk on his face as he celebrated that he liked it.
It wasn’t enough to completely please Guardiola, though, who was involved in a heated discussion with his No.9 as they walked off at half-time and a television camera which got too close was pushed away by the City manager.
“Erling wanted the ball immediately and Bernardo [Silva] didn’t give it,” explained Guardiola. I understand Erling, he wants the ball, but Bernardo made the right decision.” Guardiola was happier at full-time, having seen Rodri score from close range in the second half to make the game safe. “We are still away from the best form,” he added.
“We have to try not to drop points in this period and how you solve this lack of preparation was the mentality. The first games are so important to see how our vibes are.”
The worry for the rest of the league is that this is usually the time when City are at their most vulnerable. A team conditioned to finish the season strongly rather than lead from the front, they dropped seven points in their first 10 games last season — the same number as they dropped in their final 17 games and even that included a draw and a defeat when the title had already been won.
Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium on Aug. 19 will be a better gauge of where City are at, but this was an ominous start for the champions and their star striker.

Bayern Munich’s president confirmed on Wednesday that the club is aware of “initial talks” around a reported move for forward Sadio Mané to join Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, where he could team up with Cristiano Ronaldo.
“FC Bayern is informed about this,” club president Herbert Hainer said in Japan during a preseason tour. “But these are initial talks; you have to wait and see.”
– Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)
His comments followed a report in German tabloid newspaper Bild that an adviser to Mané would meet representatives of Al Nassr to discuss a possible deal. A Premier League and Champions League winner with Liverpool, Mané would be the latest in a series of big-name players in Saudi clubs’ signing spree.
Mané has two years left on his contract with Bayern after a disappointing and injury-hit first season since joining from Liverpool last year.
The Senegal forward scored 12 times in 38 games for Bayern, but only one of those goals came after a leg injury in November that ruled him out of the World Cup. Mané was also suspended for one game by Bayern for “misconduct” in April after he reportedly struck teammate Leroy Sané in the locker room after a Champions League loss to Manchester City.
On Tuesday, Hainer described Mané’s first season at Bayern as “certainly not satisfactory, neither for him nor for us.”
Mané came off the bench in Bayern’s 2-1 loss to Manchester City in a friendly in Japan on Wednesday, replacing Kingsley Coman as Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel changed the entire starting XI at the break.

این ملی پوش انگلیسی با قراردادی پنج ساله جدید موافقت کرده است که او را تا سال 2028 در اولدترافورد نگه می دارد. او از اولین بازی خود به عنوان نوجوان در سال 2016، 359 بازی برای این باشگاه داشته است.

رشفورد از لوک شاو و دیوگو دالوت پیروی می کند تا آینده بلندمدت خود را به یونایتد متعهد کند. قرارداد جدیدش او را فراتر از تولد 30 سالگی اش می برد.
راشفورد به وب سایت این باشگاه گفت: من به عنوان یک پسر 7 ساله با رویا به منچستریونایتد پیوستم. “همین شور و غرور و عزم برای موفقیت هنوز هم هر بار که افتخار پوشیدن این پیراهن را دارم، مرا به حرکت در می آورد.
من قبلاً تجربیات شگفت انگیزی در این باشگاه باورنکردنی داشته ام، اما هنوز چیزهای بیشتری برای دستیابی وجود دارد و من بی وقفه مصمم به کسب جام های بیشتر در سال های آینده هستم.
به عنوان یک هوادار یونایتد در تمام عمرم، مسئولیتی را که همراه با این نشان به همراه دارد میدانم و مثل هرکسی پستی و بلندیها را احساس میکنم.
“من می توانم به شما اطمینان دهم که همه چیز را برای کمک به تیم برای رسیدن به سطحی که ما می توانیم انجام خواهم داد، و می توانم همان عزم را در رختکن احساس کنم. نمی توانم بیشتر از این برای آینده تحت این مربی هیجان زده باشم.”
این بازیکن 25 ساله پس از به ثمر رساندن 30 گل در تمامی رقابت ها، از جمله 17 گل در لیگ برتر، بهترین فصل دوران حرفه ای خود را پشت سر می گذارد. او در جام جهانی قطر نیز سه گل برای انگلیس به ثمر رساند.
یونایتد، تحت مدیریت اریک تن هاگ، همچنان مشتاق جذب مهاجم دیگری در طول پنجره نقل و انتقالات است و به راسموس هوجلوند از آتالانتا و راندال کولو موانی از اینتراخت فرانکفورت علاقه مند است.

ترینیتی رادمن، مهاجم تیم ملی زنان ایالات متحده گفت که قهرمانان فعلی جهان “بی رحم” هستند و انتظار دارند که تابستان امسال برای سومین بار متوالی قهرمان جام جهانی شوند.
این بازیکن 21 ساله هر دو گل را به ثمر رساند، زیرا USWNT در آخرین ترکیب تیم قبل از شروع مسابقات، در بازی دوستانه 2-0 بر ولز پیروز شد.
– پخش جریانی در ESPN+: لالیگا، بوندسلیگا، بیشتر (ایالات متحده) – براکت و برنامه مسابقات جام جهانی زنان
رادمن در اولین جام جهانی خود که برای سال 2023 در استرالیا و نیوزلند برگزار می شود شرکت خواهد کرد و گفت مطمئن است که این تیم می تواند سومین عنوان قهرمانی متوالی را کسب کند.
او به Futbol Americas از ESPN گفت: “انتظارات من این است که ما بی رحم ترین تیم هستیم، هرگز تسلیم نخواهیم شد و به عنوان قهرمانی دست خواهیم یافت.”
“بدیهی است که تیم در طول دو جام جهانی گذشته، حتی در چند ماه گذشته، بسیار تغییر کرده است، اما این تیم چیز خاصی است. ما بیشتر از همیشه آن را می خواهیم، بنابراین من انتظار مدال طلا را دارم.”
قهرمان پیاپی جام جهانی در گروه E برای این مسابقات که از 20 جولای آغاز می شود به مصاف هلند، پرتغال و ویتنام می رود.
رادمن همچنین گفت که نباید انتظار داشت که USWNT در جام جهانی علیرغم موفقیتهای قبلیاش در حال گذر از جام جهانی باشد.
او گفت: “من فکر می کنم با این تیم همه انتظار موفقیت را دارند که مشخصا بر اساس گذشته است.” “اما تعداد زیادی بازیکنان جدید و ارتباطات زیادی وجود دارند که باید برای بازی اول ایجاد شوند، بنابراین فقط فشار خوب انجام دادن است. خیلی سخت تر از آن چیزی است که مردم فکر می کنند.”
– رادمن در حمله برای جام جهانی ظاهر جدیدی به USWNT می دهد
“[People think:] شما بچه ها باید این تیم ها را نابود کنید یا باید برنده شوید، و این خیلی سخت تر از این است. فکر میکنم تنوع و تغییر برای من سخت بوده است، اما صادقانه بگویم، این اولین جام جهانی من است، بنابراین ممکن است انتظارات کمتری از من وجود داشته باشد زیرا هرگز در این موقعیت نبودهام.”
رادمن دختر دنیس رادمن، ستاره سابق NBA است، اما تکرار کرد که می خواهد میراث خود را در دنیای ورزش ایجاد کند.
او افزود: “پدر من در طول حرفه خود اشتباهات زیادی مرتکب شد. نمی خواهم بگویم کودک وحشی است، اما او چنین بود.” “من فکر می کنم زنی که از نام رادمن گرفته شده است، از میراث NBA دنیس رادمن، مهم بود. [that] من نمی خواستم نظرات او فقط به این دلیل اینجا باشد.
“او فقط به این دلیل اینجاست که پتانسیلی در نام خانوادگی وجود دارد. این همیشه برای من مهم بوده و خواهد بود، اما در پایان روز، من میخواهم نام “ترینیتی رادمن” باشد و او خودش آن را به دست آورده است، نه به این دلیل که او این نام خانوادگی را دارد، اما به این دلیل که او راه خود را به دست آورده است.”

The summer transfer window is open for some leagues in Europe, and there’s plenty of gossip swirling around. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: PSG hope to start bidding war for Mbappe
Paris Saint-Germain are hopeful of encouraging Premier League clubs to bid for star striker Kylian Mbappe this summer, according to The Sun.
Sources have told ESPN’s Alex Kirkland and Rodrigo Faez that Real Madrid remain cautious over the possible signing of Mbappe, but the club are also hopeful that a deal could finally be done to land the forward this summer.
There is a reluctance to talk openly about the arrival of Mbappe at the Bernabeu after last summer’s abrupt U-turn that saw the France international agree to sign a new contract with PSG when he had been on the verge of a free transfer to Madrid.
– Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)
However, that contract expires next summer and, if he does not extend his stay at Parc des Princes, then PSG would rather lose him this summer for a transfer fee rather than for nothing in a year’s time.
Earlier this month, sources told ESPN’s Julien Laurens the PSG would be looking for a fee in the region of €150 million ($161.5m) for Mbappe. While such a fee would appear to be prohibitively high, even for Premier League giants such as Manchester United and Liverpool, PSG hope that clubs in England could be convinced to enter the fray and compete for a player who for so long looked certain to move to Madrid.
LIVE BLOG
21.27 BST: Paris Saint-Germain centre-back Sergio Ramos wants to return to boyhood club Sevilla next season, reports Cadena Ser. The 37-year-old pending free against has been linked with Inter Miami as well as clubs in Saudi Arabia.
21.10 BST: Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of midfielder James Maddison from Leicester City, the clubs announced Wednesday. The 26-year-old signed a five-year deal with the north London club and is Spurs’ third signing of the summer transfer window following the permanent arrivals of Dejan Kulusevski and Guglielmo Vicario.
20.54 BST: Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic is looking for an improved offer if he is to move to Al Nassr, writes Calciomercato. The Saudi Pro League club have already agreed a €23m transfer fee to sign the 30-year-old Croatia international from the Nerazzurri, but they will need to up their offer of €20m a year in wages to agree personal terms, with Barcelona also said to be interested in Brozovic.
20.21 BST: Discussions between Manchester United and Chelsea will continue over a deal for Blues midfielder Mason Mount, writes the Telegraph. The Stamford Bridge hierarchy have so far been adamant in sticking to their demand for a £65m transfer fee for the 24-year-old England international, but the Red Devils are willing to adapt the structure of their recently rejected £55 proposal in hopes of getting a deal done for a player 12 months away from free agency.
20.04 BST: Arsenal have completed the signing of forward Kai Havertz from Chelsea in a deal that ESPN reported earlier this week is worth up to £67.5m. The Germany international has signed a long-term deal with the north London club and becomes Arsenal’s first signing of the transfer window.
19.48 BST: Fenerbahce are looking to hand attacking midfielder Arda Guler a new contract that removes the £15m release clause in his existing deal, writes Football Insider. The 18-year-old Turkey international has been on the radar of both Arsenal and Newcastle of late, while interest in Europe has surfaced from Barcelona and Ajax.
19.15 BST: Talks are ongoing between AC Milan and Valencia over a move for midfielder Yunus Musah, according to Fabrizio Romano. It is reported that the Serie A side are preparing to offer a €20m transfer fee for the 20-year-old U.S. international, with optimism that it could be enough to seal an agreement with the LaLiga side. Musah made 33 LaLiga appearances last season and was a standout at the World Cup in Qatar.
18.42 BST: Manchester United are interested in signing Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana, reports Gazzetta dello Sport. A meeting is set to be held between the two clubs on Friday to discuss a move for the 27-year-old Cameroon international, and there is confidence that a deal could be done as the Nerazzurri look to Shakhtar Donetsk No. 1 Anatoliy Trubin, who has informed his club that he won’t be signing a new deal, as a potential replacement.
18.09 BST: A meeting is set to be held between Barcelona and the representatives of winger Ousmane Dembele over a new contract, writes Sport. Set to enter the final year of his contract on Friday, the 26-year-old France international has a release clause €50m, but it is reported that he is prioritising remaining at Camp Nou after playing a key role in the Blaugrana‘s LaLiga title success last season, contributing to 12 goals in 25 appearances.
17.36 BST: Tottenham have begun talks with Wolfsburg over a move for centre-back Micky van de Ven, according to Fabrizio Romano. The 22-year-old former Netherlands youth international, who has also been linked with Liverpool, is said to be keen on making the switch to Spurs and progress has been made after the north London club submitted an official verbal offer.
Tottenham are also considering a move for Bayer Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba, but closing a deal for the 24-year-old Burkina Faso international is seen as a more complicated process than negotiating with Wolfsburg for Van de Ven.
17.03 BST: Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi is attracting interest from sides in the Premier League, reports the Guardian. Both Nottingham Forest and Fulham are keen on adding the 22-year-old, who is available if the Blues receive a transfer fee in the region of £15m. Hudson-Odoi made 14 league appearances while on loan at Bayer Leverkusen last season, where he registered one assist.
16.30 BST: This summer was supposed to mark the start of a new era at Manchester United. Instead, so far, it’s been the same old story. Erik ten Hag can’t them fall behind, writes Rob Dawson.
He’s sympathetic to the club’s financial position, with the transfer budget limited by Financial Fair Play (FFP) restrictions. But he would still like at least a striker, a midfielder and a goalkeeper before the season starts. United have had three bids turned down by Chelsea for Mason Mount, although their latest offer of £55m remains on the table. There’s also interest in Harry Kane, Rasmus Hojlund, Moises Caicedo and Andre Onana among others but, so far, valuations set by opposing clubs have proved problematic.
Concerns over FFP mean United can only realistically spend between £100m and £150m on new players, and although that figure would increase with any funds raised through departures, the financial position can be summed up by their interest in Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice. Ten Hag likes both players but United were nowhere near when Bellingham joined Real Madrid for Borussia Dortmund for an initial £88.5m, simply because they couldn’t afford it. It’s a similar story with Rice, a player tracked since he was a teenager, because of West Ham United’s demand to receive £100m up front.
15.43 BST: Barcelona are among the Spanish clubs to have been handed a transfer boost after changes to LaLiga’s financial fair play regulations.
Clubs in excess of their league-imposed spending limit for the season — which includes Barca — will now be able to spend 50% of anything they save or raise on signing new players.
In addition, if the saving they make on a departing player accounts for more than 5% of their spending limit, they will be able to invest 60% on incomings.
Under the previous rules, clubs could only spend 40% of the money they saved or raised, rising to 50% if the saving on a given player was substantial.
15.07 BST: RB Leipzig midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is on the radar of Liverpool, says The Athletic.
Szoboszlai, 22, has a €70m release clause in his contract and scored 10 goals in 48 games last season.
The Reds are looking to rebuild their midfield after the signing of Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister. Nice’s Khephren Thuram and Southampton’s Romeo Lavia are also reported to be on the club’s shortlist.
14.55 BST: After completing the signing of Ilkay Gundogan, Barcelona are working on the signing of a deeper midfielder, but the lack of options on the market could see them switch their attention to a right-back, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Coach Xavi Hernandez has been clear that replacing Sergio Busquets at the base of the midfield is key. However, with his primary targets off the table due to the club’s financial issues, signing a substitute is proving difficult.
Therefore, with a right-back also needed, Barca could re-ignite their interest in Real Valladolid’s Ivan Fresneda if some money comes available this summer.
Fresneda, 18, has drawn interest from the Premier League and Borussia Dortmund and is available for €20m after his release clause halved following Valladolid’s relegation to the second division of Spanish football.
Barca have monitored the youngster for a while, although Manchester City’s Joao Cancelo remains another option to fill the right-back vacancy if they can land him on loan, per Mundo Deportivo.
14.23 BST: Sport says that Santos winger Angelo is being tracked by Chelsea.
Angelo, 18, has previously been linked with Barcelona and Nottingham Forest, with a €15m offer from the Blues reportedly set to arrive in the coming days.

Julien Laurens and Nedum Onuoha wonder whether Timothy Weah would be a regular starter for Juventus.
13.54 BST: Franck Kessie is the latest player to be linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, with Diario Sport claiming Al Ahli want to sign the Barcelona midfielder.
Kessie, 26, joined Barca as a free agent last summer from AC Milan but has struggled for minutes in his first season at the club. As a result, he is one of the players the Catalan club will listen to offers for as they seek to raise funds to strengthen elsewhere.
There have been reports of interest from Italy and England, but Sport says that Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli are best positioned to sign the Ivory Coast international.
Barca would request a €30m fee for Kessie, who is reluctant to leave but would apparently listen to other offers if coach Xavi Hernandez tells him he is not in his plans for next season.
13.26 BST: Tottenham are on the verge of signing midfielder James Maddison from Leicester City in a deal worth in the region of £40m, sources have told ESPN.
Maddison, 26, will have his medical on Wednesday and, if all goes well, he will become the latest arrival of Ange Postecoglou’s tenure following confirmation of Guglielmo Vicario‘s signing last week.
The England international was attracting the interest of Newcastle, but sources have told ESPN that Maddison is on the verge of agreeing a move to Spurs and is set to sign a five-year contract.
13.04 BST: Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney is weighing up his future, says the Scottish Sun.
Tierney, 26, made just four starts from January onwards as the signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko impacted his first-team chances.
Newcastle have been linked with a £25m move, but a return to former club Celtic could also be on the cards for the Scotland international.
12.46 BST: Manchester City are interested in signing Celta Vigo star Gabri Veiga, says Fabrizio Romano.
Veiga, 21, scored 11 goals in 36 LaLiga games last season and has been tracked by Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool and Chelsea.
The Spain U21 international has a release clause of €40m and City are looking to bolster their midfield.
12.15 BST: Manchester City defender Demi Stokes has signed a one-year contract extension at the club.
12.05 BST: Harry Kane has been told by Tottenham Hotspur that he is not available for transfer this summer, sources told ESPN’s Mark Ogden, despite Bayern Munich stepping up their interest in the England captain.
It has been reported that Bayern have submitted a €70m offer for the Kane, 29, but sources told ESPN that Spurs have not received an official bid from the German champions.
Spurs are aware of Bayern’s interest in Kane, who has a year to run on his contract at the London club, but there are no plans to offload the forward during the transfer window.
Manchester United are also monitoring Kane’s situation, but sources have repeatedly told ESPN that a move to Old Trafford is unlikely unless the player actively forces a transfer by telling Spurs that he wants to leave this summer.
Kane will be able to leave as a free agent at the end of next season if he chooses not to sign a new contract, and he could speak to overseas teams in January to negotiate a move at the end of next season.
11.23 BST: Manchester United have money to spend this summer but their transfer budget has been squeezed by Financial Fair Play restrictions, sources told ESPN’s Rob Dawson.
United posted positive financial results on Tuesday with revenue up 11% to £170m for the three months ending March 31.
The third-quarter results also included a projection that full year revenues will hit a record £630m to £640m.
Sources told ESPN that despite the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the club’s ownership, Erik ten Hag will be able to invest in his squad this summer.
However, the budget will be limited by UEFA’s FFP rules because of the club’s historic spending.
10.38 BST: After completing the signing of Ilkay Gundogan, Barcelona are working on the signing of a deep-lying midfielder, but the lack of options on the market could see them switch their attention to a right-back, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Barca coach Xavi Hernandez has been clear that replacing Sergio Busquets at the base of the midfield is key. However, with his primary targets off the table due to the club’s financial issues, signing a substitute is proving difficult.
Therefore, with a right-back also needed, Barca could re-ignite their interest in Real Valladolid’s Ivan Fresneda if some money comes available this summer.
Fresneda, 18, has drawn interest from the Premier League and Borussia Dortmund and is available for €20m after his release clause halved following Valladolid’s relegation to the second division of Spanish football.
Barca have monitored the youngster for a while, although Manchester City’s Joao Cancelo remains another option to fill the right-back vacancy at the club this summer, per Mundo Deportivo.
09.55 BST: Arsenal are close to agreeing a deal with West Ham for Declan Rice after Manchester City pulled out of the race to sign the midfielder, sources have told ESPN’s Rob Dawson.
Arsenal submitted a third offer for Rice worth £100m plus £5m in add-ons on Tuesday, sources told ESPN.
City will not match or better the offer, sources have said, and are no longer in the hunt for the England international as things stand.
The reigning Premier League champions had a valuation in mind for the 24-year-old and believe Arsenal’s bid has already exceeded it. City had an offer of £80m plus £10m in add-ons rejected on Monday.
Arsenal and West Ham remain in negotiations over the payment structure and total fee, sources have told ESPN, with West Ham wanting £100m up front and another £10m in add-ons.
The north London club have agreed personal terms with Rice, sources added.

09.14 BST: Tottenham Hotspur are in advanced talks with Leicester City over the transfer of midfielder James Maddison, sources told ESPN’s Tom Hamilton.
Spurs have tracked Maddison, 26, for several seasons, and new manager Ange Postecoglou is thought to be keen on the move. Sources told ESPN that negotiations are ongoing, with the two sides are still trying to find mutual ground on the transfer fee.
Maddison and his Leicester teammates were relegated from the Premier League last season, during which the midfielder registered 10 goals and nine assists from 30 league appearances.
08.37 BST: Turkish club Adana Demirspor is interested in signing Valencia forward Edinson Cavani, according to Estadio Deportivo.
Adana Demirspor are looking to strengthen their squad as they will play in the Europa League next season, and have already expressed their interest to Cavani’s brother and agent Nando Guglielmone.
Cavani, who joined Valencia last summer after his contract with Manchester United expired, endured a disappointing season at the Mestalla stadium.
The Uruguay international, who is under contract with Valencia until June 2024, scored only five goals in 25 league appearances for Los Che.
According to reports, Valencia could allow the 36-year-old to leave for free to offload a high-wage player.
08.00 BST: Celta Vigo left-back Javi Galan is set to join Atletico Madrid in a transfer worth around €3.5m, sources have confirmed to ESPN’s Rodrigo Faez.
Atletico youngster Manu Sanchez will move in the other direction as part of the deal.
Galan’s arrival ends Atletico’s search for a permanent left-back following Renan Lodi’s move to Nottingham Forest last year and an injury to Reinildo.
Sergio Reguilon joined on loan from Tottenham last season but, for various reasons, did not nail down a regular starting sport and coach Diego Simeone was forced to improvise with personnel and his formation.
Galan, 28, was a regular for Celta last season, making 40 appearances in all competitions, and has previously been linked with Barcelona.

Rob Dawson discusses Harry Kane’s future amidst interest from Bayern Munich in the striker.
PAPER GOSSIP (by Abbie Ingham)
– Bayern Munich are preparing a written bid for Harry Kane, after their initial verbal offer of €70m was rejected by Tottenham Hotspur, according to Sky Sports Deutschland. However, sources have told ESPN that the north London club are not willing to part with the 29-year-old striker, who has one year remaining on his contract, and they have not received an official bid to sign the England captain.
– Roberto Firmino is closing in on a move to Al Ahli, according to Fabrizio Romano. The 31-year-old is set to become a free agent when his contract expires with Liverpool this week, departing Anfield after eight years and 111 goals in 362 appearances. The Brazil international is now reportedly in advanced talks to join the Saudi Pro League club on a three-year contract.
– Leicester City are pushing hard for a deal for Conor Coady, according to the Mirror. Following their relegation, the Foxes are set to beat out Premier League competition for the 30-year-old defender’s signature. The England international, who spent the past season at Everton on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, is wanted by the East Midlands club’s new manager, Enzo Maresca, who heard positive remarks about the centre-back from Pep Guardiola when he was part of the coaching setup at Manchester City.
– Leicester also are lining up moves for Tottenham’s Harry Winks and Manchester City keeper Zack Steffen, according to the Telegraph. The Foxes are reportedly in negotiations for 27-year-old Winks, who spent the past season on loan at Sampdoria and is reportedly not part of Spurs’ plans for next season. Maresca also is eyeing a move for 28-year-old U.S. goalkeeper Steffen, whom he knows well from his time at Man City.
– Sevilla are in talks with Espanyol over the signing of Nico Melamed, Fabrizio Romano reports. The 22-year-old winger has several suitors and his departure from the Periquitos is a distinct possibility. The Spain under-21 international made 32 appearances, scoring one goal and providing two assists as the club finished 19th and were relegated from LaLiga.
21.10 BST: Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of midfielder James Maddison from Leicester City, the clubs announced Wednesday.
