Overview
- On Sunday, multiple outlets reported Manchester City had offered more than £120 million to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest, leaving City the reported frontrunners for the England midfielder.
- Liverpool had an opening bid of about £86.7 million for RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande rejected and is reported to be prepared to increase its offer toward the high‑80s or near £100 million with PSG also monitoring the player.
- Atalanta midfielder Ederson has told media his move to Manchester United is 'almost all sorted' and several reports say United and Atalanta have agreed a deal with fixed and bonus payments.
- Manchester United and Tottenham are both reported to be competing strongly for West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes with clubs linked to fees around €90 million and ongoing talks over personal terms.
- Clubs are widening scouting to younger or fallback targets such as Lucas Herrington and Felix Nmecha as the World Cup shortens the window, a shift that could raise fees, force quicker decisions and reshape several linked moves.
