Manchester United are plotting a double swoop for the Real Madrid duo of Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga for the combined sum of $172.7 million (£128.5 million, €150 million). This would, in turn, accelerate Madrid’s pursuit of Rodri. (Source: El Nacional)
In an attempt to find Rodri’s replacement, Manchester City have struck a total verbal agreement with Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi. A fee is still to be settled, but a sum in excess of $115.1 million (£85.7 million, €100 million) will be required. (Source: Florian Plettenberg)
