It’s Tuesday and that small speck of light you can see way off in the distance is the weekend.
For now, here’s some transfer gossip.
Manchester United are poised to sign Real Madrid’s Raphaël Varane on a four-year deal, although a date for the French defender’s medical is unclear due to quarantine restrictions, report The Athletic.
Varane’s arrival could trigger a fire sale at Old Trafford, with up to eight players – including Anthony Martial, Daniel James and Phil Jones – available for transfer, according to ESPN.
Ben White will have a medical on Wednesday ahead of a £50m move from Brighton to Arsenal, say Sky Sports.
And after signing Bryan Gil from Sevilla, Tottenham have turned their attention to a £40m deal for Atalanta defender Cristian Romero, say the Telegraph.
Romelu Lukaku is happy at Inter and not interested in a rumoured return to Chelsea, report the Express.
Juventus have told Cristiano Ronaldo they expect him to stay at the club this summer, say Sky Sports.
But Juventus are keen to sell Aaron Ramsey this summer as they look to trim their wage bill, say Gazzetta dello Sport.
If the rumours about Barcelona’s financial plight are to be believed, the Catalan giants are going to need to sell a few players before the transfer window closes.
One of their big ticket items for sale is reportedly Antoine Griezmann, but according to Marca, the Blaugrana are so far yet to receive any contact from clubs interested in signing the Frenchman.
Gulp.
Tottenham completed the signing of exciting 20-year-old Spanish winger Bryan Gil from Sevilla.
And Érik Lamela swapped north London for Seville as part of that deal.
