Transfer news LIVE updates: All the latest rumours and gossip from Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and more including every Premier League done deal.
Wednesday, 27 June
05.35am: Manchester United are NOT interested in Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin, contrary to reports suggesting that they are.
The 32-year-old has a release clause in his contract that allows him to leave the Wanda Metropolitano for around £18m.
Certain UK publications extrapolated a link between United and Godin from an article in Spanish publication AS.
But the report actually explains how the Uruguayan is close to agreeing a new deal with Atletico, and makes no mention of the Old Trafford outfit.
03.10am: Borussia Dortmund have signed centre-back Abdou Diallo for £25m on a five-year deal from Mainz.
Diallo made 30 appearances for Mainz last season following his move from Ligue 1 side Monaco in July 2017.
The Frenchman, who was on Arsenal’s radar, also captains his country’s U21s side.
01.45am: Premier League new boys Fulham have had a £12m bid for forward Ivan Cavaleiro rejected by Wolves, according to reports.
The 24-year-old Portuguese striker was linked with a move to Huddersfield earlier in June, but he said: “Looking forward to start the season with my club.”
Cavaleiro joined Wolves from Monaco for a then club record fee of £7m in 2016.
Liverpool transfer news: How Real Madrid star Marco Asensio could fit in at Anfield
00.15am: Danny Ings has decided to leave Liverpool, according to the Times.
Jurgen Klopp would like Ings to stay but the striker is adamant that he wants to play first-team football.
The 25-year-old’s time at Anfield has been disrupted by two serious knee injuries, but he proved his fitness last season when making 14 appearances.
Tottenham, Newcastle and West Ham, and foreign clubs RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke and Inter Milan are all interested in signing Ings.

9.35pm: French football expert Julien Laurens insists Kylian Mbappe will not be moving to United this summer and will stay at Paris St-Germain.
Asked about the possible transfer, Laurens told ESPN: “I’m not sure where those stories are coming from because there is no truth in it at all.
“PSG have bought him, he’s a PSG player now.
“Yes, there’s Financial Fair Play but PSG need to sell around €60m before the end of the month to be all okay for at least this year with FFP.
“Kylian Mbappe doesn’t want to leave, they don’t want to sell him for sure. There’s nothing in it at all, he will be a PSG player next season for sure.”
7.35pm: Lionel Messi has demanded Barcelona make four big signings this summer to strengthen the side.
The Argentina great wants to ensure the La Liga champions compete once again for major trophies next season.
Messi wants a new centre-back, two midfielders and a world class forward, according to reports in Spain.
Diario Gol, known for their outlandish transfer claims, say Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah is at the top of the superstar’s wish list.
The Reds star took the Premier League by storm last season and helped Jurgen Klopp’s side reach the Champions League final.

Transfer news LIVE: Lionel Messi wants Liverpool star Mo Salah at Barcelona
6.45pm: Maurizio Sarri, the favourite to replace Chelsea boss Conte, has been blocked from finalising his move to Stamford Bridge, it has been claimed.
5.55pm: Arsenal are looking to sign Real Madrid winger Lucas Vazquez, it has been claimed.
Unai Emery has made the Spaniard one of his leading transfer targets, according to OKDIARIO, and offered to triple the Spain international’s current terms to move to the Emirates.
Arsenal are rebuilding the squad left by Arsene Wenger for Emery and have been busy in the transfer market.
Juventus right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner and Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno have already arrived.
Deals are also in the pipeline for Borussia Dortmund centre-back Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Sampdoria midfielder Lucas Torreira.
But signing Vazquez from the Champions League winners would be a huge statement by the club.
5.15pm: Manchester United are ready to trigger the £110m release clause of Barcelona star Ivan Rakitic, it has been claimed.
Reports in Spain claim Jose Mourinho is a big fan of the Croatia international and wants to bring him to Old Trafford this summer.
Rakitic is seen as a key player for Barcelona though and Ernesto Valverde will not let him leave the Nou Camp if he can help it.
Spanish outlet Diario Gol, known for their outlandish transfer claims, say Rakitic will decide his future after the World Cup.
The midfielder is currently in Russia playing for Croatia as his country look set to progress to the knockout rounds.

Transfer News LIVE updates: Asensio to Liverpool claim, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd gossip
4.45pm: Liverpool have NOT made an offer for Real Madrid star Marco Asensio.
That’s according to Spanish football expert Guillem Balague who has been speaking on the latest player linked with a switch to the Reds.
He tweeted: “On Asensio. Liverpool have not made an offer and have no intention on making one.
“Of course they see their huge potential but no indication Real want to sell (they don’t) or him wants to leave (he doesn’t).”
4.15pm: Kostas Manolas is unsure whether he wants to join Chelsea despite the Blues being ready to trigger his release clause.
Chelsea are pressing forward with their transfer activity this summer regardless of the ongoing uncertainty surrounding their managerial situation.
Antonio Conte is expected to be replaced at Stamford Bridge soon but no resolution has been reached as of yet.
The west Londoners are yet to sign any new players this summer but are actively looking to do so.
One of their top targets is Roma’s Greek defender Manolas.
Italian outlet TMW report that Chelsea are set to shell out the 27-year-old’s £32m buyout in Rome.
But it is said that the centre-back is unconvinced about a move to England.
3.45pm: Arsenal target Lucas Torreira “has left” Sampdoria, according to the Italian club’s sporting director Carlo Osti.
Torreira is set to be confirmed as the third signing of the Unai Emery era at Arsenal after the two clubs agreed a £26.4m (€30m) fee.
Osti told Sky Italia: “Tomorrow we will have our first meeting with [manager Marco] Giampaolo.
“This is when our transfer window starts. An excellent player like Torreira has left us but we will replace him.
“The squad will be competitive as always.”
