Exclusive: Gravenberch wants Liverpool

Bayern's out-of-favour midfielder Ryan Gravenberch would love to join Liverpool, FootballTransfers has learnt.

Exclusive: West Ham prioritise Balogun

We can also exclusively reveal that Folarin Balogun is high up on West Ham's summer shortlist.

Confirmed: the Mount deadline

Moreover, we were able to report that Manchester United plan on getting Mason Mount in before July 1.

This was corroborated by Fabrizio Romano.

Arsenal makin' moves

Arsenal are closing in on the signings of Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber - is Mikel Arteta trying to rip off Pep Guardiola?

But is signing the latter even such a good idea?

And why did things not work out for Havertz at Chelsea?

The Gunners' midfield could look quite different next season given that one of their stars is now the subject of interest from European giants.

But Arteta and company are facing a tough battle to complete the signing of Declan Rice.

Tonali to Newcastle

Sandro Tonali's move to Newcastle is all but confirmed, but why did Chelsea fail in their bid to land him?

This could prove to be a blessing in disguise for the Blues, however.

Chelsea get Premier League protection

Speaking of Chelsea, the Premier League made a decision on whether or not the Saudi Public Investment Fund had any part to play in Todd Boehly's takeover.

This comes in light of Chelsea offloading several of their unwanted stars to the Pro League - will Romelu Lukaku be one of them?

The Blues have also now finally bought their first sister club.

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up with some more transfer news from around the world. Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag has been told that he has no money to spend for now.

Yet the Red Devils are still eyeing one of the world's most promising wonderkids.

Barcelona, meanwhile, have their eyes on a different youngster - and this could see them come into conflict with Arsenal.

And their transfer spree has only just begun.

Rivals Real Madrid reportedly have a budget ready to bring Kylian Mbappe to the Bernabeu.

Liverpool are interested in what would be a shocking move for a European champion.

And lastly, Borussia Dortmund are keen on a Manchester United star.
