Schürrle to Chelsea confirmed. First Mourinho signing.
Mertens to Napoli supposedly ... good pick up if true Rafa man.
Aston Villa are set to sign highly-rated Dutch midfielder Leandro Bacuna.
The Holland Under-21 international moves to Villa Park from FC Groningen.
Bacuna was at Villa to undertake a medical today before completing his switch.
Despite only being 21, Bacuna has made over 100 appearances for Groningen since making his debut in 2009.
Bacuna is most comfortable in midfield, but can also operate as a wing back on either side
Rumours that Barca's €23m offer for Samir Handanovic has been rejected, with Inter looking for €30m.
Isn't he in his late 20s? That's an awful lot of money for a keeper that age ... I saw a few Inter games last year, and he looks solid - but I don't know if 23 million 'solid.'
It does make sense they'd be looking elsewhere with Ter Stegen heading to us.
United linked with both Strootman and Isco today.
l'Equipe say that Monaco are now targeting Hulk. They mention a figure of 45 million euros for him.
Southampton are tracking Valencia midfielder Ever Banega and could make an £8m bid.
Tancredi Palmeri @tancredipalmeri 7m
Tottenham placed a 24m € bid for Inter's Guarin and Pereira. Inter seem not keen to sell at that price, should be rejected
Looks like AVB is keen for a reunion with his ex-players.
Atletico Mineiro's president, Alexandre Kalil claimed that they have rejected an 18m euro offer for Bernand from an English club
Porto credited with interest in him. Say he has good relationship with Porto's Technical Director Antero Henrique and is willing to do business at 25m euros.
Son and Laderweireld. Hyypia is getting a decent team
Schurrle money being spent for the most part
"It’s true, Napoli among other clubs called me,” confirmed the agent of Lyon midfielder Maxime Gonalons.
Representative Frederic Guerra spoke to Le Parisien newspaper this weekend.
“It’s true, Napoli among other clubs called me, but I cannot tell you at this moment whether the player is interested in a move.
“That is only because we haven’t discussed it yet. We will talk things over when he returns from his summer vacation.”
French international Gonalons is one of the transfer targets picked by new Napoli Coach Rafa Benitez.
The 24-year-old midfielder has been at Lyon for four seasons, notching up 35 Ligue 1 games this term with three goals.
MANCHESTER United are attempting to hijack Chelsea’s £15million move for Dutch wonderkid Marco van Ginkel.
Old Trafford chief scout Jim Lawlor has flown to Turkey to watch the 20-year-old Vitesse Arnhem midfielder in action for Holland in the European Under 21s championship.
Van Ginkel, who has been on Chelsea and Dutch giants Ajax’s wish list for some time, impressed Lawlor and now United have joined the scramble to sign him.
The problem for United is that Chelsea have a tie up with Vitesse Arnhem, meaning they have first option on their players.
Returning Stamford Bridge boss Jose Mourinho knows he is expected to bring in younger players and Van Ginkel fits the bill.
Ajax have been blown out of the water by the fee being discussed, but it’s one that won’t put off new United manager David Moyes, though the Scot’s number one midfield target is Barcelona’s Cesc Fabregas.
Moyes is prepared to pay £40m if the Spanish champions indicate they are willing to sell the Spaniard.
Real Madrid’s Luka Modric is also on the United manager’s radar and he is closing in on a £17m deal for Benfica central defender Ezequiel Garay.
Lambert is quietly going about building an effective Villa team. Transfers this summer: Leandro Bacuna, Jores Okore, Nicklas Helenius, Tonev.
All of them appear to be promising youngsters. I think Villa will cement themselves as a top 10 team this season and then push on from there.
Fabio Borini's agent has dismissed rumours that the Liverpool forward could join Napoli over the summer.
The Italy international has been linked with a move back to Serie A, with both the Partenopei and Fiorentina reportedly interested in his services.
But the striker's representative has claimed that those stories have no grain of truth.
“[Rafa] Benitez is a great Coach,” Marco De Marchi told Radio Crc. “He has shown that at all his clubs.
“But Napoli have been linked with Strootman and Mertens, and don't forget that they have Insigne as well, who has great potential.
“I haven't been contracted by Napoli, so at the moment I don't think that's an option for Borini.”
