Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke has confirmed he will address his long-term future after the World Cup. The 26-year-old Netherlands international remains a target for Tottenham, whose two offers for the centre-back were rejected by the Seagulls.
Manchester City have identified Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite as a potential successor to John Stones, who is expected to leave the club. However, Everton are demanding £70 million for the 23-year-old England international.
Roma are preparing a £35 million offer for Marseille forward Mason Greenwood and are willing to include a sell-on clause in an attempt to persuade the French club to sanction the transfer.
Atalanta midfielder Ederson was scheduled to undergo a medical on Sunday ahead of completing his move to Manchester United. The 26-year-old Brazil international is now closing in on a switch to Old Trafford.
Manchester United could reduce the financial impact of Ruben Amorim's departure after dismissing the Portuguese manager in January. The club may save a significant portion of the £15.9 million compensation package owed to Amorim should he accept the vacant managerial position at AC Milan.
