Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd £50m swap deal, Liverpool Mac Allister fear, Chelsea hijack

Manchester United are reportedly looking into the possibility of signing Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri this summer amid continued fitness woes for Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia.

French outlet Jeunes Footeux claim that in their hopes of strengthening that side of their defence, United had been keeping tabs on Brest defender Bradley Locko following interest from Nottingham Forest and Fulham.

But their preferred target for that role is Ait-Nouri, who has also attracted interest from Manchester City following a strong season under Gary O’Neil.

However, their decision may depend on budget restrictions as Ait-Nouri would cost considerably more than the £17million price tag on Locko.

West Ham are reportedly close to an agreement which would see former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui take over from David Moyes.

Sky Sports claim that the Hammers have reached a full agreement with the Spanish coach.

A formal announcement is expected this week, with an early appointment well-timed in order to progress with their summer transfer plans.

Arsenal will make a formal approach to Fenerbahce to sign left-back Ferdi Kadioglu next month.

That’s according to Turkish outlet Takvim, who claim that executives will be sent to Istanbul to negotiate a potential £26million deal.

Arsenal are already thought to be in discussions with the player’s entourage over personal terms and once an agreement is reached, the Gunners will then speak directly with Fenerbahce.

Chelsea are said to be interested in hijacking any Manchester United summer move for Juventus defender Gelson Bremer.

Bremer has been a long-term United target but TuttoJuve claim that Chelsea are now on his trail as Todd Boehly looks to reinforce the Blues’ defence.

Juventus want to keep their star defender but could be forced to reconsider their stance if a bid upwards of £60million arrives.

Real Madrid are reportedly interested in prising away Alexis Mac Allister from Liverpool in 12 months.

Sportitalia claim that the Argentinian midfielder is on Los Blancos’ list of potential targets for 2025, after a productive first season on Merseyside.

He will continue to be monitored next season but Liverpool will be desperate to hold onto their World Cup winner.

Manchester United are among the teams very keen on Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, alongside Manchester City and Tottenham.

Though suitors are baulking at Everton’s asking price of £80million and value the England Under-21 international closer to £50m.

The Daily Mail claim that one way United could bridge that gap is by offering a player in exchange, something they are willing to do to offer Everton a sweetener.
