The transfer rumour mill is in full swing with daily stories of players coming and going.
Each weekday we'll bring you the best transfer gossip and the likelihood of those transfer stories bearing fruit.
Harry Kane is not for sale, reports ESPN. Tottenham Hotspur are unwilling to part ways with their 30-year-old striker this summer, despite Bayern Munich pushing hard for a move. The German champions have reportedly had a verbal bid of £60m for Kane rejected by Spurs. The England captain will become a free agent next summer when his contract is set to expire. Manchester United are also interested in Spurs’ all-time leading scorer, but it is reported that he has informed the Bundesliga champions that they are his preferred destination if he were to leave north London this summer.
Arsenal have made a third offer for Declan Rice worth a reported £105m, according to Sky Sports. West Ham value their captain at closer to £120m valuation but are understood to be prepared to do a deal closer to Arsenal's latest bid. The Hammers rejected the Gunners’ previous proposal of £75m plus £15m in bonuses, as well as Manchester City’s opening offer of £90m for the 24-year-old midfielder. Arsenal's latest bid is thought to be £100m up front, with £5m is bonus-related add-ons. West Ham have a verbal agreement with Rice to let him leave this summer if a suitable offer is made.
Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino is in advanced talks with Al Ahli, journalist Fabrizio Romano reports. The 31-year-old Brazilian could be the next Premier League star to join the Saudi Pro League, as his representatives negotiate with the Jeddah club over a three-year deal. The Brazil international will be available on a free transfer when his contract expires with Liverpool this month, bringing an end to his eight years at Anfield.
Manchester United have backed out of a new contract with David de Gea, according to The Athletic. The 32-year-old goalkeeper’s current contract expires on June 30. He had agreed to a new deal with reduced wages, but the club pulled out of signing the contract. It is reported that United have now proposed a new offer to the Spain international with an even lower salary, which he is yet to respond to. De Gea is also the interest of clubs from Saudi Arabia.
Italian midfielder Marco Verratti has been approached over a move to the Saudi Pro League. Rudy Galetti reports that Al Hilal have shown the most interest in the 30-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, who is out of contract in 2026. Verratti is expected to respond to the proposal in the coming days.
Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa has been offered to Chelsea and Manchester United amid the club’s Financial Fair Play concerns, according to 90min. It is understood that the Portuguese club have presented their 23-year-old shot-stopper to several Premier League clubs as they look to raise £45m by June 30, with both Chelsea and United in search of a new No 1 this summer. The Portugal international has a release clause of around £65m.
Jaden Sancho could be set for a surprise exit from Manchester United this summer, writes Football Insider. With United targeting a new goalkeeper, central midfielder and striker in this transfer window, they will reportedly be open to cashing in on the 23-year-old winger this summer. The England international has only been at the club for two years, following a £73m move from Borussia Dortmund in 2021, and is out of contract in 2026.

Who was Alfred Nobel?
The Nobel Prize was created by wealthy Swedish chemist and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel.
- In his will he dictated that the bulk of his estate should be used to fund "prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind".
- Nobel is best known as the inventor of dynamite, but also wrote poetry and drama and could speak Russian, French, English and German by the age of 17. The five original prize categories reflect the interests closest to his heart.
- Nobel died in 1896 but it took until 1901, following a legal battle over his will, before the first prizes were awarded.
