Exclusive: Newcastle agree Disasi terms

Newcastle United and Monaco defender Axel Disasi have agreed on personal terms, FootballTransfers can reveal.

Manchester United had been in talks with Disasi for weeks, but now it could be a Kim Min-jae situation all over again.

Exclusive: Saint-Maximin has Saudi suitors

In other Newcastle news, Allan Saint-Maximin is being eyed by Saudi clubs, we are told.

Exclusive: PSG want Portuguese duo

Moreover, we were able to bring you that PSG expect to sign Joao Felix and Goncalo Ramos with the player's agent Jorge Mendes working hard to engineer these deals.

Exclusive: Spurs want Vlahovic

Lastly, we revealed that Tottenham are eyeing Dusan Vlahovic as a replacement for potentially Bayern-bound Harry Kane.

They will face stiff competition from Chelsea, however, who have been offered a tasty swap deal by Juventus.

Man Utd takeover update

BBC journalist Simon Stone has given a huge update on the Manchester United takeover saga, claiming that neither Sheikh Jassim nor Sir Jim Ratcliffe are in any way out of contention despite reports to the contrary.

PSG force the issue

PSG are set to put Kylian Mbappe under pressure in a bid to resolve the ongoing contract dispute as early as this week.

Saudi rejection

Despite their seemingly endless funds, Saudi Pro League clubs aren't getting their way on every deal. A Liverpool cult hero has rejected their approaches, but Saudi clubs are still eyeing one of his former teammates.

A Chelsea player has also rejected a Saudi offer after being asked to take a 40 per cent paycut.

Paul Pogba, too, appears to be intent on staying in Europe despite Saudi interest.

Despite this, the rise of the Saudi Pro League poses a unique challenge - and a huge risk - to football and its governing bodies, who have all been sleepwalking over the past decades. Now, it's too late to act.

Man Utd must sign Onana

Analysing Andre Onana and David de Gea shows that signing the former could be a transformative moment of Erik ten Hag's reign.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some more transfer news from around the world. Jose Mourinho is once again trying to sign a (former) Manchester United player.

Alen Halilovic was once supposed to be the next Luka Modric, but the former Barcelona wonderkid has fallen from grace and his descent down the footballing ladder continues with his latest move.

Neymar has dropped a big hint on social media regarding his PSG future.

Man Utd are still working hard on the Rasmus Hojlund deal and they have now hatched a genius plan in order to get it wrapped up.
