Galatasaray want to sign Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson and the Brazilian is reportedly weighing up the offer to join the Turkish club.

Ederson, 32, has a year remaining on his contract at hit out at “fake news” over reports linking him to Saudi Arabia earlier this summer.

L’Equipe has reported Galatasaray’s £2.6m bid for Ederson while the Times reports that the goalkeeper is set to decide his future.

Liverpool are in advanced talks with Eintracht Frankfurt over Hugo Ekitike.

The Premier League champions could make the French forward their fourth major summer signing if a deal can be agreed with the Bundesliga club. It is expected that Ekitike would want to make the switch to Anfield and that personal terms could be agreed with the 23-year-old.

The former Paris Saint-Germain player has a €100m (£86m) release clause though it is not yet apparent if Liverpool will trigger it or agree a lower price with Eintracht.

Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Bryan Mbeumo after agreeing a £71m deal with Brentford for the forward.

United have committed to pay £65m, with the possibility of a further £6m in add-ons, as Mbeumo is set to become Ruben Amorim’s biggest buy at Old Trafford.

The forward, who scored 20 Premier League goals last season, was also a target for Newcastle and Tottenham but made it clear his preference was to go to Old Trafford. Personal terms are not expected to be an issue and he may be able to join United in time for their pre-season tour of the United States.

Noni Madueke has said his goodbyes to Chelsea after completing a £48m summer transfer to London rivals Arsenal.

The 23-year-old winger joined the Blues from PSV Eindhoven in 2023 and played 92 times for Chelsea, scoring 20 goals and providing nine assists.

He won the Conference League with Chelsea last season and also featured in their successful Club World Cup campaign in June.

The winger, who has signed a five-year deal with the Gunners that runs to June 2030, thanked his former teammates and manager before claiming he leaves Chelsea with “love and admiration”.

Arsenal are not expected to complete a deal for Viktor Gyokeres before the squad leaves for its pre-season tour of Asia this weekend, according to the Times.

Arsenal are expected to pay Sporting €63m guaranteed over instalments, with another €10m subject to add-ons.

Sporting climbed down from asking for a guaranteed €70m over changes of terms on issues like the payment of agent commissions.

However, talks continue over the nature of the add-ons, with Sporting’s representatives flying to London to complete the deal with Arsenal.
