Manchester United and Bayern Munich are both interested in signing RB Leipzig star Dani Olmo this summer, FootballTransfers understands.

We have been informed that Man Utd and Bayern are both interested in purchasing Olmo, while the Red Devils have even held talks as they pursue a big-money move.

EXCLUSIVE: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia tipped to sign for Arsenal or Manchester City

Football Transfers has been speaking exclusively to Kvaratskhelia's former coach, Gela Davitadze.

“My big respect for Napoli. But I think he wants to move,” Davitadze explained.

“For this situation, if he goes to the Premier League, it would be the best solution for him. A team like Manchester City or Arsenal would be very suitable. Aside from the Premier League, I think Barcelona would also be a suitable destination for him. But I want him to join the Premier League and watch him play against the best teams.”

EXCLUSIVE: Newcastle to keep star trio as Howe eyes David and Mbeumo

Newcastle are admirers of Jonathan David and have made an enquiry to Lille over the conditions of the attacker, FootballTransfers has been told.

The striker has been linked with a Premier League switch and there is an appreciation of his versatility by the club’s hierarchy but, like Chelsea, no further contact has been made since.

Revealed: Matthijs de Ligt makes Man Utd transfer decision

Manchester United transfer target Matthijs de Ligt has made up his mind over a potential move to Old Trafford.

Indeed, according to Sky Germany, he has decided that he 'definitely' wants to be a part of Erik ten Hag's side for the 2024/25 campaign.

Barcelona told to look elsewhere as Nico Williams is not up for sale

Barcelona's pursuit of top target Nico Williams will seemingly end in disappointment.

Williams has been at the European Championships with Spain over the past month and, yet, the rumours have not died down.

Williams' club, Athletic Bilbao, are sick of the noise, however, and have thus released a statement.

They are adamant that they can afford to keep their best player despite the interest from Hansi Flick's side.
