Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd quoted £60m by rival, Newcastle breakthrough, Spurs price hike

Manchester United and Barcelona have joined Bayern Munich in the race to sign Joao Palhinha, according to Sky Sports.

Bayern have taken the most concrete action to date, submitting a £30million offer for the Fulham midfielder.

But The Cottagers want at least double that figure to let him go.

Barca are unlikely to meet those financial demands, and while United could, they are expected to wait until their managerial future is resolved before committing to such a significant signing.

Manchester City full-back Sergio Gomez is being lined up by Real Sociedad to replace Kieran Tierney, who spent last season on loan in Spain from Arsenal.

Sociedad chiefs Jokin Aperribay and Roberto Olabe arrived in England on Sunday to conduct various pieces of business, with securing Gomez’s services believed to be high on the list, according to AS.

The 23-year-old didn’t start a single Premier League game under Pep Guardiola last season, notching only 49 minutes of action as City won a fourth straight title.

Rodrigo Gomes is booked on a flight to England ahead of his Wolves medical, with the West Midlands outfit set to beat Atletico Madrid to the 20-year-old’s signature.

BBC Sport claim that Wolves have agreed a £12.7million move for the versatile youngster, who can play at full-back or further forward.

Gomes scored seven goals and assisted seven more in the league for Portuguese side Estoril last season.

And his arrival would bring an extra sprinkle of quality to Gary O’Neil’s squad, which is already packed full of Portuguese talent.

The release clause of Tottenham target Chris Fuhrich has risen by millions as a result of him being called up to represent Germany at Euro 2024, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Spurs and Bayern Munich are believed to be chasing the Stuttgart winger.

The 26-year-old’s £19.5million release clause would have made him an affordable option for both clubs.

But they now face forking out an extra £2.5m (£22m in total) as a result of the winger’s Germany inclusion.

Newcastle United have agreed personal terms with goalkeeper James Trafford, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

The Magpies are expected to submit new offer to Burnley soon with a guaranteed fee of £15million and further add-ons included.

Manchester City, who used to have Trafford on their books, will be due 20 per cent of the transfer fee.

The 21-year-old lost his place in Burnley’s starting XI last season but he is still tipped to enjoy a bright future, as Newcastle look to bring in competition for Nick Pope.

AC Milan have reached an agreement with Joshua Zirkzee on a five-year contract, according to Calciomercato.

The news will come as a blow to Manchester United and Arsenal, who are both reported to be closely following the Bologna forward.

Milan have been pushing hard to complete the signing over the past few days and have now made a significant breakthrough with personal terms.

It remains to be seen whether the Gunners or the Red Devils chime in to try and turn the dial in their favour, with Zirkzee’s £34million release clause yet to be triggered.
