Saturday delivered plenty of action as Man Utd readied their new Jarrad Branthwaite bid.

Plus, Arsenal and Chelsea are embroiled in a new Mykhailo Mudryk-style battle and the Blues have been given hope regarding Jamal Musiala. There's plenty to cover, so let's jump right in.

Exclusive: Man Utd's next Branthwaite bid

FootballTransfers can exclusively reveal that Man Utd are not deterred by having had their 'derisory' opening bid for Jarrad Branthwaite knocked back; there is more to come.

However, Arsenal could throw a spanner in the works by swooping for a different Everton star.

And as a replacement, the Toffees are lining up the most unexpected of players.

Dovbyk battle

Arsenal and Chelsea are set to go head-to-head for Girona striker Artem Dovbyk, similar to their Mykhailo Mudryk battle of last year.

Chelsea's Musiala hope

Chelsea likely won't be able to re-sign Jamal Musiala anytime soon, but the Blues stand to earn a significant amount of money from a potential transfer.

Musiala starred on opening day of Euro 2024 and the action continued on the second day as more players joined him in the scoring charts.

Another wonderkid, Lamine Yamal, became the youngest-ever player in tournament history.

He also became the youngest player to notch an assist.

Yamal is also popular in the Messi household, with Lionel's eldest son revealing that he wants to play alongside the Barcelona starlet one day.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some transfer news from around the world. Women's football superstar Alisha Lehmann is set to join Juventus as part of that crazy Douglas Luiz swap deal with Aston Villa.

Christopher Nkunku played a big role in Chelsea ending their pursuit of Victor Osimhen.

The Napoli striker has just publically snapped at his Nigeria coach.

Bayern Munich have made a surprising decision on the future of Alphonso Davies.

Man Utd have been urged to hijack the Bavarians' move for Joao Palhinha.

Chelsea's deal to sign Estevao Willian is all but complete, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Chelsea are set to secure the signatures of two more wonderkids after their deals to sign Estevao and Pedro Lima.

One of Real Madrid's potential Toni Kroos replacements has admitted that links to Los Blancos make him 'uncomfortable.'

Aston Villa would be well advised to bring Tammy Abraham back to the club.

Man Utd have added more players to their list of 'untouchables' but captain Bruno Fernandes is not among them.

Nico Williams would be Arsenal's perfect summer signing - but will he move?

Lastly, Man Utd have started discussing the feasibility of reuniting Erik ten Hag with another of his ex-Ajax players.
