Transfer news LIVE! Ronaldo Man United talks; De Jong latest; Tielemans to Arsenal; Chelsea’s Kounde solution

Transfer news - LIVE!

Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to Manchester United for talks over his future with the club, having sat out the entirety of their preseason campaign. The 37-year-old wants to leave Old Trafford after only one season but Erik Ten Hag has consistently spoken of his desire to keep him, so it’ll be fascinating to see how the forward’s future plays out.

Ten Hag is also keen on luring Frenkie De Jong away from Barcelona, although reports in Spain suggest the Dutch midfielder is more keen on moving to Chelsea. For their part, Thomas Tuchel’s side have switched attentions to Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries as top target Jules Kounde nears a move to Barcelona.

In north London, meanwhile, Arsenal continue to retain an interest in Youri Tielemans but are yet to lodge a formal offer for the Belgian international. Finally, Tottenham are said to be keeping keen eyes on Roma’s Nicolo Zaniolo. Follow all of the latest news, gossip and rumours in our LIVE blog below!
