10:30, 17 June - Spurs and Napoli joint-favs to sign Grealish

The pursuit of Jack Grealish is hotting up on day two of the new transfer window, with Tottenham and Napoli joint favourites at 9/43.25 to sign the Man City man.

Grealish's career at the Etihad appears to be over, and he has fallen out of favour with Pep Guardiola, making just 20 Premier League appearances this season, scoring a single goal.

Grealish was left out of their Club World Cup squad.

A move is probably the best thing for the former-Aston Villa midfielder and Betfair ambassador Alan Shearer recently said: "From the outside looking in, it looks as if Grealish's career at Man City is done and he has to move on."

The stumbling block for a potential deal could be Grealish's wages - a theme picked up on in today's papers, with reports that Napoli are not prepared to match the rumoured £300K per week he earns at the Etihad.

---

15:00, 16 June - Napoli to pick between Grealish or Garnacho

Napoli are looking to bring in a new forward, but will it be Jack Grealish from Man City or Man Utd's Alejandro Garnacho.

The Serie A champions are 6/42.50 to sign Garnacho and 13/27.50 to sign Grealish so the money has come more for the young Red Devil than City's £100m man - but time will tell...

---

13:00, 16 June - Grealish cut for Spurs move

The first big betting move since the transfer window reopned has seen Jack Grealish cut to 11/102.11 to join Tottenham - having been as big as 4/15.00 on Friday, so it's a decent move on the Man City man's future.

Spurs opened up as 9/110.00 shots to sign Grealish when the market went up in May, but werw quickly backed in to 4/15.00 after a week or so, but they've held steady there until the arrival of Thomas Frank seems to have stirred interest.

He's won a load of trophies but Grealish has come nowhere near performing like a £100m signing should, but there's still plenty of interest in him - with Newcastle, Everton and the Saudi Pro League all involved in the betting.

Spurs have attracted 41% of the bets on the Grealish next club betting market, with Everton next on 18%, Newacstle 17% and 9% of the money going on Grealish to move to the Saudi Pro League.

10:00, 16 June - Reds tipped to go big again & Man Utd target striker as transfer window reopens

The transfer window is open! Again! After briefly closing, the window is open again so expect some business to be done - with new big spenders Liverpool being tipped to continue to splash the cash.

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone confirmed Liverpool are interested in forward Julian Alvarez, who would be another mega-money move for the usually frugal Premier League champions, but they could use players as makeweights here including Andy Robertson, who is odds-on to move to Madrid.

Time's said to be up for Darwin Nunez at Anfield and Atletico are now 11/82.38 second favourites to sign the Uruguayan, with those two players helping cover some of the cost for Alvarez.

With Liverpool also still 13/82.63 favourites to sign Alexander Isak it seems that owners FSG are going all-in on backing Arne Slot's side - who are 15/82.88 to retain their Premier League crown and are the team to beat according to Betfair Ambassador Alan Shearer.

Man Utd are keen to carry on spending, but they may need to give up on signing Bryan Mbeumo as Tottenham are now 13/82.63 to sign him thanks to Thomas Frank's arrival at Spurs.

That's led to United contacting representatives of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike, according to Bild, with Ruben Amorim's Old Trafford revolution set to include departures for Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund.

Barcelona are favorites to sign Rashford, Chelsea are 8/111.73 to sign Garnacho and Hojland is also 8/111.73 to return to Italy with Inter Milan.

---

13:30, 15 June -  Robertson set for Madrid and Gyokeres snubs United

Andy Robertson could be coming up against his former Liverpool teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold next season with reports that Atletico Madrid have made the Reds wing-back their top priority.

Robertson, who would likely become Liverpool's second choice left wing-back should the club sign Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, is reportedly keen on a switch to Madrid which is now home to Alexander-Arnold after the right wing-back joined Real Madrid earlier this month.

Atletico Madrid have shortened to 4/91.44 to sign Robertson which suggests that a move is very much on the cards for the experienced 31-year-old. Should he wish to stay in the Premier League then Aston Villa can be backed at 13/27.50 to sign Robertson, while a move north of the border isn't ruled out either with Celtic 6/17.00 to sign the wing-back.

Meanwhile, following on from yesterday's update, Portuguese news outlet Record have now reported that Viktor Gyokeres has ruled out joining Manchester United, which has resulted in Arsenal going odds-on at 4/51.80 to sign the in-demand striker. United are 6/42.50 second favourites.

---

13:00, 14 June -  Arsenal shorten further to sign Gyokeres

We reported on Thursday that Arsenal had shortened from 9/25.50 to 3/14.00 to sign striker Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon, and this morning they've shortened ever further amid reports that they've tabled an initial bid of just shy of £47m (with £8.5m add-ons) for the 27-year-old.

The uncomfirmed report was made by Portuguese news outlet Record, but whether accurate or not the Gunners have been backed in to 9/43.25 to sign Gyokeres with only Manchester United - who were as short as 2/91.22 in midweek - ahead of them in the market at 8/111.73.

Arsenal are desperate to sign a striker and have been heavily linked with RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, but with no fee agreed between the two clubs, and the Gunners reluctant to be held to ransom, it could be that the north London club switch to plan B, with Gyokeres top of their wanted list.

Mikel Arteta's men finished runners-up to Liverpool last season and can be backed at 5/23.50 to go one place further next season, the same price as Man City and just behind the Reds at 15/82.88.

---

11:00, 13 June -  Wirtz to join Liverpool in British record transfer

It's the news that we've all been expecting for weeks but it has now been confirmed that Liverpool have agreed a potential British record transfer fee of £116.5m for Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz.

Should Wirtz agree personal terms with the Reds then the total package will be made up of a £100m transfer fee plus £16.5m in potential add-ons.

The current British record for a transfer fee is the £107m Chelsea paid Benfica for Enzo Fernandes, while the Blues also signed Moises Caicedo for £100m that could rise to £115m, meaning the Wirtz transfer deal will only become a British record if the £16.5m in add-ons are piad, which are all performance related.

Liverpool are also close to signing Bournemouth left wing-back Milos Kerkez, while they've already signed Jeremie Frimpong to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold at right wing-back.

The Reds can be backed at 15/82.88 to retain their Premier League crown, with Betfair Ambassador Alan Shearer saying earlier this week that Arne Slot's men are already the team to beat next season.

12:00, 12 June -  Arsenal 3/1 to sign Gyokeres as Man Utd drift  

The latest moves in the Betfair market on Viktor Gyokeres' future show Arsenal gaining ground on Manchester United in the race to sign the Swede.

United are 8/111.73 favourites to sign the striker from Ruben Amorim's former-club Sporting Lisbon but that price is a drift from their previous odds of 2/91.22.

And while United have moved out, Arsenal have moved in from 9/25.50 to 3/14.00. Mikel Arteta needs to sign a proven goalscorer this summer if the Gunners are to challenge for the title in 2025/26. 

Could Gyokeres be the man to help Arsenal improve on their second place in the Premier League? They are 5/23.50 joint second-favourites with Man City, behind favourites Liverpool 15/82.88, in the outright winner market for 2025/26.

Their finishing was arguably what stopped Arteta's men ending their 21-year wait for the league title this season. Gyokeres scored 39 league goals for Sporting in 33 matches as they won the Portuguese title. He also hit six in eight Champions League matches which suggests he can perform at the highest level. 

The situation may be complicated by news that, despite previously agreeing to sell Gyokeres for around €65m with add-ons, Sporting's president is insisting on higher fee.

Amorim's history with Gyokeres has lead to speculation that he will join United but the chance to spearhead a title challenge, and play in the Champions League again in 2025/26, may tempt him to choose north London over Old Trafford. 

Elsewhere today, Fabrizio Romano has reported that Luka Modric will join Milan after the Club World Cup and Kevin de Bruyne looks set to sign for Napoli.

10:30, 11 June -  Blues make signings and Reds agree Wirtz deal  

Chelsea and Manchester City will both head to the Club World Cup with strengthened squads after making signings before the 10 day transfer window closed last night.

Liverpool, meanwhile, were also reported to have reached a verbal agreement with Bayer Leverkusen to sign Florian Wirtz for around £126m. They had previously agreed terms with the player.

Pep Guardiola's team are third favourites at 5/16.00 to win the 32-team tournament, which begins in the US on Saturday, after making three additions: left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri for £31m from Wolves, goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli from Chelsea as cover and, on deadline day, attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki from Lyon for an initial fee of £30.45m.

The west London Blues are 9/110.00 to win the Club World Cup after also spending in the June window.

They outspent spent every other club, splashing out a combined total of £89.5m on Liam Delap (£30m), Dario Essugo (£18.5m) and Mamadou Sarr (£12m). Estevao Willian (£29m) also joined the Stamford Bridge club in a deal that was agreed a year ago.

Manchester United made the most expensive single signing as they brought in Matheu Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m

Liverpool replaced Trent Alexander-Arnold, who left for Club World Cup favourites Real Madrid, with Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen.

The champions' deal for Wirtz moved a step closer to completion on deadline day when Fabrizio Romano reported that Liverpool had verbally agreed in principle to sign the German from Leverkusen. According to the journalist, Wirtz will have a medical and sign a contract with the Anfield club imminently.

The next transfer window opens on 16 June and will remain open until 1 September. We will have updates on the odds moves in the Betfair transfer markets so keep reading the live blog for the latest.

12:00, 10 June -  Kudus 4/5 to sign for Chelsea

Chelsea are the subject transfer speculation on deadline day as they prepare for the Club World Cup, which starts on Saturday. Enzo Maresca's men are 9/110.00 to return from the US as winners.

To do that they might need to strengthen their squad, something the club's owners have rarely shied away from.

In the current 10 day window, which ends today, Chelsea have been repeatedly linked with Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens. Yesterday it was reported that the two camps were in talks over a deal.

Today, the Blues are also 4/51.80 favourites to sign another winger - Mohammed Kudus from West Ham -  in a new Betfair transfer market.

Newcastle also like the look of the 24-year-old, however. The Magpies are 5/23.50 to sign Kudus as they look to build next season on a successful campaign in 2024/25 that saw them win the Carabao Cup and qualify for the Champions League. 

Eddie Howe wanted Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford but looks set to miss out as he prefers a move to Manchester United.

---

10:30, 10 June -  City want to sign two more today

Manchester City will try to bring in two more players before today's transfer window deadline, according to reports from the BBC.

Pep Guardiola's men head to the Club World Cup, which starts on Saturday, as defending champions and third favourites at 5/16.00 behind Real Madrid 4/15.00 and Paris Saint-Germain 9/25.50. 

City have already signed Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolves and now they are attempting to close deals for midfielders Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders from Lyon and AC Milan respectively. 

After enduring a disappointing season, in which they failed to win a trophy, City are determined to be back on top in 2025/26. Guardiola is trying to revitalise is aging squad by bringing in young players. 

He has identified midfield as a key area for improvement. Rodri's absence due to injury was a major blow for City this season but, although the Spaniard is returning to fitness, Guardiola has still targetted reinforcements in that area. 

One of the players who could leave - Kevin de Bruyne - showed his quality last night when scoring the winning goal in Belgium's 4-3 victory over Wales.

We will have more updates on transfer deadline day and report any significant odds movements in the Betfair markets on potential deals.

16:00, 9 June -  Ronaldo could extend Saudi stay with Al-Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo is on the verge of a transfer u-turn after saying "nothing will change" when addressing his future. 

The 40-year-old, who lead Portugual to Nations League glory on Sunday and scored his 138th international goal in the final against Spain, had said his current chapter at Saudi club Al Nassr was over.

That sent the rumour mill spinning, with Ronaldo linked to clubs that are playing in the Club World Cup. 

Now Ronaldo says that, despite plenty of interest from clubs participating in the 32-team tournament that begins this weekend, he will not be taking part.

Last night, after Portugal's win, he said: "Future? Nothing will change. Al Nassr? Yes." 

Ronaldo has been with Al Nassr since arriving from Manchester United at the beginning of 2023. He was the first big name player to make to the Saudi Pro League and others, including England's Ivan Toney, have followed.

Now, after weeks of speculation when it looked like he was leaving, fans can look forward to seeing Ronaldo playing for Al-Nassr for some time yet.

09:30, 9 June -  Grealish 7/2 to swap Man City for Everton

Everton are the new favourites to sign Jack Grealish as the England midfielder looks to reignite his career with a move away from Manchester City. 

The Toffees 7/24.50 have shot to the top of the market, overtaking Napoli, Tottenham and Nottingham Forest, who are all 4/15.00.

David Moyes' club, who have new owners and will be playing in a new stadium next season, are showing ambition in the transfer market this summer. They tried to sign Liam Delap and, although the striker decided to join Chelsea, the Merseyside club appeared to be determined to make a statement signing.

They are targetting Grealish, according to today's Mail, and will hope he can bring his visionary passing and dazzling dribbling to their new Bramley-Moore Dock ground.

At 29, Grealish almost certainly needs to leave Manchester City if he is to rediscover the form that made him one of the hottest properties in English football. 

Pep Guardiola has lost faith in Grealish who made just 20 Premier League appearances this season, scoring a single goal. 

Betfair ambassador Alan Shearer recently said: "From the outside looking in, it looks as if Grealish's career at Man City is done and he has to move on."

The stumbling block for a potential deal could be Grealish's wages. He is thought to be earning around £300K per week at the Etihad which Everton may struggle to match. For that reason, signing Grealish on loan may be Everton's preferred option.

---

14:30, 8 June -  Premier League clubs battling to sign Rodrygo

A quintet of Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in signing Real Madrid winger Rodrygo this summer for a fee of around £75m with the 24-year-old open to a move to England.

Rodrygo, who has a contract until June 2028 with Madrid, has been with the Spanish giants for six years now, and while he is set to be happy to remain in Spain, he also won't rule out a move to a Premier League club should Madrid wish to cash in.

Favourites to sign Rodrygo are Arsenal at 6/42.50 with the Gunners expected to spend big this summer in an attempt to strengthen their attack. One potential stumbling block with that move is would Rodrygo be happy to play a more central role given that Bukayo Saka is Arsenal's first choice wide right attacker.

With Real Madrid Rodrygo tends to start wide right of a three man attack that includes Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe, so if he wants to remain in that position then perhaps a move to Manchester City could be on the cards, who would have no problem meeting the Brazilian's £250k per week wage demands. City are 7/24.50 to sign Rodrygo.

Liverpool are 4/15.00 to sign the 24-year-old, but like Arsenal, surely it would mean him playing in a more central role - a position he has played before - with Mo Salah being the Reds' first choice wide right man. However, with Darwin Nunez likely to leave Anfield this summer it would be no surprise to see Rodrygo in a Liverpool shirt as Arne Slot's main striker.

Chelsea 9/25.50 and Newcastle 13/27.50 are two other Premier League clubs who are likely to show some initial interest in Rodrygo if he becomes availalbe, and we know that both clubs would have no problems meeting both his transfer valuation and wage demands.

---

15:30, 6 June -  Is Sesko's move to Arsenal nearning completion?

Betting was suspended on Benjamin Sesko's future amid reports that talks between Arsenal and the Slovenian were advancing.

Football transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano broke the news on X on Friday afternoon, a day after Sesko was 1/51.20 on the Betfair Sportsbook to join the Gunners.

Arsenal have finished second in the Premier League for te past three seasons and were criticised for not signing a prolific goalscorer last summer. Sesko could be the answer to their problems up front, after scoring 21 goals in 45 matches for RB Leipzig in 2024/25.

At 22, Sesko has his best years ahead of him and could be a long-term fixture up front for Arsenal. Romano said talks were "advancing", although there is no agreement between Leipzig, Sesko and Arsenal yet. 

Arsenal are 6/42.50 to sign Ollie Watkins, who they tried to buy in January, from Aston Villa, and today they were  linked today with Villa's Morgan Rogers.

Reports claimed that Arteta has targetted the 22-year-old winger this summer. Rogers scored eight goals in the Premier League this season and grabbed 10 assists. He made his England debut back in November.

---

11:00, 6 June -  Gyokeres 6/4 to sign for Man Utd

Viktor Gyokeres is 6/42.50 to join his former-boss Ruben Amorim's rebuild at Manchester United after indicating that he would be happy to move to Old Trafford.

The Swede played for Amorim at Sporting Lisbon and scored 33 goals as they won the Portuguese title this season. He is 27-year-old so should be at his peak as a striker. 

Gyokeres is also of interest to Arsenal 2/13.00 as Mikel Arteta searches for a forward who can give his team the cutting edge they lacked in front of goal at times in 2024/25. 

However, Amorim's prior relationship with the player could give United the edge when it comes to persuading Gyokres to sign for them over other clubs.

He is said to have kept in touch with Amorim, after the 40-year-old left Sporting for United in November, and is open to making the same move despite the club not playing Champions League football next season. Reports today say Gyokeres is available for around £60m. 

United have already agreed a deal to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves and earlier this week betting was suspended on Bryan Mbeumo's future after it was widely reported that United would start talks with the Brentford player.

Due to financial fair play regulations, and United's determination to balance their books, the Red Devils need to sell forwards in this window too, with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund all up for sale.

---

16:10, 5 June -  Will Ronaldo move in time for Club World Cup?

Cristiano Ronaldo is 11/102.11 to sign for Al-Hilal as the 40-year-old football legend tries to secure a move in time to let him play in the Club World Cup.

The Portuguese scored his 137th international goal for his country as they came from a goal down to beat Germany and reach the Nations League final.

He recently signalled that the end of his career at Al Nassr and fellow club Al-Hilal, who will be playing at the Club World Cup, are his most likely next club, according to the latest Betfair Sportsbook odds.

He is still 3/14.00 to join a team in the MLS as he seeks a new chapter in his extraordinary career. 

Sporting Lisbon, where Ronaldo began his career, are also 7/2 to sign him, although they are not among the 32 teams taking part in the Club World Cup. 

Mexican club Monterrey are 5/16.00 to get Ronaldo and they will be competing in the tournament stateside later this month. 

In the meantime, Ronaldo will prepare for Sunday's Nations League final in which Portugal will play the winner of tonight's Spain v France second semi-final. 

---

11:15, 5 June -  Delap signs for Chelsea ahead of Club World Cup 

Chelsea are 9/110.00 to win the Club World Cup after the Blues signed Liam Delap in time to play in the tournament which kicks off in the US next weekend. 

Enzao Maresca's team face Los Angeles FC on 16 June in their first match of the tournament.

Chelsea met a release clause in the 22-year-old's contract with Ipswich, beating off competition from Manchester United, Newcastle and Everton who had also made Delap a summer transfer target. 

Delap scored 12 goals in 37 top-flight appearances last term for the relegated Tractor Boys and appears to have a big future ahead of him.

Chelsea's business in this window may not be over as it was reported that they were also negotiating with AC Milan a deal to sign goalkeeper Mike Maignan, although their is said to be disagreement between the clubs regarding their valuations of the player.

Borussia Dortmund's England Under-21 winger Jamie Gittens has also attracted Chelsea's attention and they are 8/111.73 favourites to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United. It may be tricky, however, for Chelsea to get a deal done for the Argentinian before the Club World Cup.

13:00, 4 June -  Nunez nears Reds exit, Sesko odds-on for Arsenal

Betfair's transfer markets indicate that Darwin Nunez's Premier League career may be coming to an end while Benjamin Sesko's could be about to begin. 

Nunez is 8/111.73 to leave Liverpool for Atletico Madrid following months of speculation that the Premier League champions would look to sell the Uruguayan this summer.

He managed just five league goals this season and fallen down the pecking order of forwards at Anfield.  A move to Atletico may suit Nunez who could fit into Diego Simeone's combative team. 

Nunez has never really convinced at Liverpool after Jurgen Klopp brought him in from Benfica in 2022. 

Sesko, meanwhile, may be about to arrive in England, according to the latest Betfair Sportsbook odds. The Slovenian is 1/51.20 to sign for Mikel Arteta's team. 

He scored 21 goals in 45 matches for RB Leipzig but they finished seventh in the Bundesliga and will not be in Europe next season.

Chelsea are 15/28.50 and may also be in for Sesko but the odds suggest that his most likely destination is north London.

Arsenal are 15/82.88 to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon as Areta looks for ways to give his team the cutting edge that they were lacking in 2024/25.

10:00, 4 June -  City close in on Reijnders before Club World Cup

Manchester City are trying to make full use of the current 10 day transfer window by bringing in players who will be able to play for them at the Club World Cup.

Reports on Wednesday say City are close to signing Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan. The Dutch midfielder would boost Pep Guardiola's squad which will fly to the US for the Club World Cup which starts on 14 June. 

City are the second favourites at 9/25.50, behind Real Madrid, to win the 32-team competition. They start their campaign against Moroccan club Wydad AC on 18 June.

Yesterday, football transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano said City were "advancing on [their] Rayan Aït-Nouri deal after initial talks taking place with Wolves." The left-back could also be in Guardiola's squad for the Club World Cup.

Both potential signings indicate that City, who won the last Club World Cup two years ago, intend to take the tournament seriously. The ended the domestic season trophyless for the first time in eight years and getting their hands on silverware in the US would be a sign that they are determined to make that an anomaly.

15:15, 3 June - Man Utd to open talks with Mbeumo

Betting was suspended on Bryan Mbeumo's future after reports that Manchester United will open talks with the Brentford striker. 

United only scored 44 Premier League goals in 2024/25 and Ruben Amorim is prioritising firepower in the summer transfer market. 

By contrast, Mbeumo helped Brentford play some thrilling football, as he scored 20 goals and laid on seven assists for the Bees in 2024/25. His ability to play in the centre of attack or on the right would make him an asset to United who looked blunt up front all season.

The Cameroon international would bolster Amorim's forward-line and proven Premier League goalscoring ability would be an asset. Mbeumo was also linked with Newcastle and Arsenal but reports say United are confident of signing him after receiving indication that Old Trafford is his favoured destination.

United, who have a deal in place to sign Wolves' Matheus Cunha, want to shift a few forwards in this window too, with the likes of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho up for sale.

Yesterday, we reported that Inter are 15/82.88 to sign Rasmus Hojlund whose two year stay at United could end imminently.

Today it was revealed that Jadon Sancho is on his way back to Old Trafford. Chelsea had the former-England man on loan but decided not to sign him. The Blues had to pay United £5m to take the troubled winger back.

---

11:00, 3 June - Bruno says he wants to stay in Europe

Bruno Fernandes is still 10/111.91 to sign for a Saudi Arabian club despite reports that he has turned down a lucrative contract from Al Hilal. 

The journalist Fabrizio Romano tweeted this morning that Fernandes wants to "play at the top level in Europe". 

Does that mean staying with Manchester United who are not in Europe next season after their 15th-place finish in the Premier League?

It remains to be seen but Real Madrid, who have been linked with Fernandes in the past, are the next shortest price to sign him. At 12/113.00, however, a deal looks a long way off. 

After that, it's the newly-crowned Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain at 16/117.00 and Barcelona 18/119.00 to sign Fernandes.

The United captain has not ruled out a move away from Old Trafford this summer and, with the club needing to sell players to finance Ruben Amorim's team rebuild, it remains a possibility that Bruno will leave.

---

12:00, 2 June - Italian clubs lead race to sign Man Utd flop

Rasmus Hojlund's miserable Manchester United career could end this summer with a move back to a Serie A club.

Inter Milan are 15/82.88 to sign the Dane who has endured two frustrating seasons at Old Trafford. He is hardly to blame for failing to live up to his £72m price tag.

He was just 20 when he arrived and thrown in at the deep end of Premier League football, asked by Erik ten Hag to lead the line for a stuttering United side. 

Ruben Amorim has never looked convinced by Hojlund and has dropped him several times. It would be no surprise if Hojlund, after scoring just four Premier League goals in 2024/25, were to move in the current transfer window.

He is young enough to revive his career and Italy is probably his best option. He joined United after impressing for Atalanta and is 13/27.50 to return there. 

More likely, according to the Betfair Sportsbook market on Hojlund's future, is a move to Italian champions Napoli 5/16.00. If Hojlund moves to Naples, he will link up with Scott McTominay who has enjoyed a brilliant first season since joining from United. 

Juventus 3/14.00 may be another option for the Denmark forward. The Turin club, like Inter, are currently preparing to take part in the Club World Cup which begins in under a fortnight.

13:00, 1 June - Sought after strikers on the move?

It is now the norm that when club football ends, rumours immediately begin of a potential big-money move for Newcastle's prolific forward, a player who has proven himself crucial to the Magpies' rise in recent years.

This past season alone, Alexander Isak has fired 33.8% of his team's goals, 23 all told in the league, a career best.

Last summer, links to Arsenal percolated right up to transfer deadline day and once again the Gunners are part of the conversation, priced up at 13/27.50 to secure the Swede's deadly services.

Certainly, Mikel Areta would love to add Isak to his ranks, it being no secret that Arsenal are dead-set on bringing in a plug-and-play centre-forward. Are they however more interested in resuming their serious interest in another Swedish phenomenon, Viktor Gyokeres? The Sporting striker is 8/151.53 to score his high volume of goals at the Emirates next term.

Beyond the Emirates, Liverpool are the other major player reportedly keen to splash out huge money for Isak's signature. He is 13/82.63 to be Liverpool-bound but again there is a caveat involving another star. The Reds are reportedly chasing Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike.

Moreover, Newcastle are in a very strong position to withstand any possible bids, certainly more so than last summer.

The forward has three years remaining on his contract. They have Champions League football to offer him. And, after a year of transfer inactivity, they have resolved their PSR problems.

The rumours though, whirl on.

11:30, 31 May - Napoli favourites to sign 'unwanted' Grealish

Jack Grealish's fall from grace has prompted nothing short of civil war to break out among Manchester City supporters.

Some highlight the England international's importance in the club's treble-winning season and insist he can reach those heights again. Others point out that the treble was a long time ago and ever since the midfielder has contributed very little.

In the last 18 months, Grealish has scored just once, and assisted once, in the Premier League.

Add in rumours of unsanctioned nights out and Pep Guardiola pointedly omitting the player from his final matchday squad - in favour of Claudio Echeverri, with precisely no league minutes to his name - and it feels nailed on that the 29-year-old will be part of City's summer exodus this summer, lovely hair and all.

The question therefore is where to next for a player in dire need of rebuilding his reputation.

Napoli are presently the surprise favourites at 6/42.50 but let's not forget the success they have enjoyed of late with fellow Brits Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour.

Tottenham meanwhile at 4/15.00 feels like too much of a neat fit, both player and club known for their style, less so substance. Besides, they have James Maddison.

A 4/15.00 punt on Nottingham Forest intrigues, especially if Morgan Gibbs-White heads in the opposite direction. It would afford Grealish the chance to return to his beloved Midlands.

Speaking of which, Aston Villa are a 10/111.00 shout. Unai Emery, however, demands productivity from his creatives and there has been too little of that from Grealish for a good while now.

14:30, 30 May - Reports suggest Bruno thinking of leaving United

Manchester United's captain and creative-in-chief Bruno Fernandes is currently 10/111.91 to join any Saudi Pro League club this summer. Expect that price to tumble further should today's main story on the BBC website have legs.

In the article it is claimed that Al Hilal officials have met with the midfielder's representatives this week to discuss a big-money move away from Old Trafford, with the Saudi club keen to secure Fernandes' services in time for the Club World Cup. That is set to commence on 14June 14.

A fee of £80m has been mooted.

Of course, at face value, it feels crazy for United to even consider selling on their best player, arguably their only one to emerge with any credit from what has been a season of sustained crisis.

Yet, riddled with PSR problems and in dire need of an expensive overhaul, the Reds know that sacrificing Fernandes may be their only visible option, in order to move forward and furnish Ruben Amorim with his own men. Very conceivably then, the Portuguese schemer has kicked his last ball, and thrown his last strop, for the 13-time Premier League champions.

In which case, other interested parties may well come to the fore, because surely United would welcome a bidding war to ensue.

Real Madrid at 12/113.00 feels like a miss, with the Spanish giants reputedly put off by his age. Barcelona at 18/119.00 however is a tempting long-shot to consider.

12:00, 30 May - Nunez odds-on to move to La Liga

Unhappy with a peripheral role at Anfield, Darwin Nunez is reportedly eyeing up the exit door with Atletico Madrid 8/111.73 favourites to sign the divisive striker.

After joining Liverpool in the summer of 2022 for a club record £85m fee, the Uruguayan quickly became known for his erratic finishing, with the occasional spectacular strike taking a back seat to simple chances squandered and the woodwork struck an inordinate number of times.

His second season offered up much more, with 21 goal involvements in 36 appearances in the league, only then Arne Slot arrived, a coach who clearly desired greater consistency up front. In the campaign just gone, Nunez made just eight league starts, his last back in March.

A recent social media post thanking Liverpool appears to add substance to the loudening rumours of an imminent departure and that puts Atletico firmly in the frame. Some Spanish media outlets are even stating that a verbal agreement has been reached between player and club.

Of course, that still leaves a fee to be determined, and valuing the South American is as difficult as rating him as a number nine. Does that then open things up for the far more moneyed Saudi Arabian clubs? Nunez is 3/14.00 to join any Saudi Pro League club before September's deadline day.

Don't discount either recently crowned Serie A champions Napoli, priced up as 15/28.50 outsiders but in the running, nonetheless. It's perhaps pertinent that Romelu Lukaku turned 32 this month.

16:00, 29 May - Sesko set for Arsenal

An out and out striker is top of Mikel Arteta's Arsenal shopping list this summer after the Gunners finished second in the Premier League for a third season in a row.

Had they recruited a top goalscorer 12 months ago, they may have taken the title back to north London for the first time since 2003 and could even have been preparing now for Saturday's Champions League final.

But it was not to be and, while Arsenal improved in defence and mdifield, they often lacked a cutting edge in front of goal.

Benjamin Sesko could be what they are looking for and the RB Leipzig forward is as short as 8/111.73 to sign for Arsenal in the upcoming transfer window. 

The 21-year-old scored 21 goals in 45 matches for RB Leipzig but they finished seventh in the Bundesliga and will not be in Europe next season. That means the highly-rated Sesko is almost certain to leave.

He will not be short of offers but the Betfair odds indicate that Arsenal are the clear frontrunners in the chase to land him. 

Chelsea are also believed to be interested but they are 5/16.00 after reports today indicated the Europa Conference League winners would beat Manchester United to Liam Delap. Still, when has signing one player stopped Chelsea from signing another in the same position?

Liverpool are the other Premier League club to be linked to Sesko but, at 15/28.50, the deal looks unlikely as it stands.

Arsenal have already shown they mean business when it comes to early summer signings. The Premier League club have agreed a deal to sign midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. Adding Sesko would strengthen them in another key position and potentially make them stronger challengers in 2025/26.

13:00, 29 May - Mbeumo 11/10 to sign for Man Utd

Bryan Mbeumo is 11/102.11 to join Manchester United this summer as Ruben Amorim continues to try to strengthen his attack with proven Premier League players.

The Red Devils are expected to complete a deal for Matheus Cunha from Wolves soon and could turn their attention to the Brentford forward next. 

Mbeumo scored 20 goals and laid on seven assist for the Bees in 2024/25 and his ability to play in the centre of attack or on the right would make him an asset to United who looked blunt up front all season.

At 25, his best years are ahead of him and the Cameroon international would sharpen to Amorim's forward-line as the Portuguese looks to clear out the likes of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.

Whether Mbeumo would choose to join United over other Premier League clubs is another matter. The Red Devils finished 15th and will not be playing European football next season. 

Newcastle, on the other hand, are in the Champions League. The Magpies are 15/82.88 to sign Mbeumo and have been linked to the player in several news reports this week. 

Alan Shearer used his latest Betfair column to urge the St James' Park club to make significant signings in the summer.  

He said: "Depending on who they decide to sell, I think they need to bring in a centre-forward, a right-sided midfielder and probably another centre-half. Those would be the three key positions for me."

Mbeumo may fit the bill for Newcastle and, with Champions League football to offer, they could beat Manchester United in the race to sign the pacey Brentford star.

14:00, 28 May - Rashford 8/15 to sign for Barcelona

The odds on Marcus Rashford leaving Manchester United for Barcelona were cut from 6/42.50 to 8/151.53 as transfer activity hotted up at Old Trafford. 

Rashsford, who spent the second half of the season on loan at Aston Villa, is one of several players Ruben Amorim hopes United can sell as the manager embarks on a squad rebuild. 

The forward impressed with his performances for Villa, earning a recall to the England squad, and Barca manager Hansi Flick is believed to be an admirer. 

Barcelona were recently crowned La Liga champions and narrowly missed out on a place in the Champions League final, so Rashford may jump at the chance to join a big club on the up. 

He has long been linked with Paris Saint-Germain and the French champions are 17/29.50 to sign him - as are Villa and Arsenal. 

United, meanwhile, are reportedly on the brink of completing a deal for Wolves' Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian is said to have agreed terms with the Red Devils and the deal could be confirmed within days. 

Cunha was not put off joining United by the fact they will not be playing European football next season and Amorim will hope the same is true of Liam Delap.

The Ipswich striker is 8/111.73 to join United, although they will face competition from Chelsea 6/42.50 who will be back in the Champions League in 2025/26 and can secure a European trophy tonight.

It looks set to be all change for United up top this summer - at least, it will be if Amorim gets his way - and Alejandro Garnacho is 6/42.50 to sign for Napoli after being left out of last week's Europa League final defeat to Tottenham. 

The Argentinian is currently on United's post-season tour in Malaysia but is thought to have been told by Amorim to find a new club.
