We’re right in the thick of the summer transfer window, and we bring you some hot deals as players and clubs prepare for another blockbuster football season.

United agrees on a new deal with Rashford

Amidst the talks of the potential arrival of a top striker at Manchester United, the club has moved to tie their top performer from last season to a new long-term deal. 

Marcus Rashford has agreed a new and improved deal to stay with the club for four more years with the option of another year. Rashford joins Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw in committing to the Red Devils.

The city rejects Al Ahli’s offer for Mahrez

Riyad Mahrez has agreed on a deal to join Saudi club Al Ahli on mega wages, but the latter must agree on a fee with the Premier League champions. 

An offer of £18 million was reportedly rejected by City, and the treble winners would hold out for £30 million for the Algerian winger. Mahrez is keen on the deal, and it’s just a matter of time.

Aubameyang nears a Marseille move

In a shocking development, former Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has agreed a deal with Olympic Marseille and will join them imminently. Aubameyang’s camp failed to agree terms with Saudi clubs, but the striker is now poised to return to the French League, where it all started for him.

Bayern slaps £27m on Mane

Bayern Munich wants to sell Sadio Mane after just one season at the Allianz Arena, and the Senegalese will no longer go for the initial £17 million touted, with the Bundesliga champions now holding out for £27 million after Saudi clubs stepped into the conversation. 

Mane wants to stay, but the club would listen to offers for him.

West Ham is struggling to negotiate deals

West Ham United asked United for Harry Maguire on loan, but the Red Devils would rather the Hammers stump up their £40m asking price, while Fulham has also rejected the opening bid for Joao Paulinha, with the Lilywhites asking for £50m. 

Everyone is aware of Declan Rice's largesse; it’s getting tough for the Hammers to negotiate deals with other clubs.
