Latest Premier League News and Transfer Rumours

Here is our EPL transfers and news round-up from today’s papers.

Manchester United Manager Update

The higher-ups at Old Trafford are hopeful that a new contract with manager Erik ten Hag can be agreed before United start their pre-season tour in the United States in about a month.

The club has held talks with the Dutchman about extending his deal after deciding to retain him in charge of their first team ahead of the start of 2024/25. ESPN mentions that negotiations are “complicated”, but that they are “progressing well”.

United’s USA tour kicks off on July 27, with a game against Arsenal in Los Angeles.

EPL Transfers

Everton have agreed with Leeds United on another loan deal for winger Jack Harrison. He played for the Toffees on loan last season, featuring 29 times in the Premier League and registering three goals and three assists in Everton’s battle against relegation. (Everton official announcement)

Newcastle are not going to pursue a move for Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin after all, as a deal for £40 million is proving too costly for them. At the same time, Yankuba Minteh will not be moving in the opposite direction either. Newcastle have a “serious offer” for him from Olympique Lyon. (Sky Sports)

리버풀 goalkeeper Adrian has a “verbal agreement” to a return to his boyhood club in Spain, Real Betis, once his contract expires in a few days. (Fabrizio Romano)

첼시’s striker search has seen them back away from potential moves for Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran and Stuttgart’s 서호 귀라시, as they believe that Barcelona’s Marc Guiu or Lille’s Jonathan David would be cheaper options. Guiu’s release clause is £5 million, while David is probably going to cost less than £30 million, since he only has one year left on his contract. (BBC Sport)

리버풀 are considering joining 맨체스터 유나이티드 in their attempt to sign Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee, as new head coach Arne Slot is reportedly an admirer of the player, according to Caught Offside. At the same time, Sky Sports tells us that United are expected to trigger the £34 million release clause and bring him to Old Trafford this summer.

Shields Gazette claims that the £100 million release clause in the contract between Bruno Guimaraes and Newcastle expired last night. Arsenal, Manchester City and PSG are all keen on his transfer.

Tottenham have offered a contract to Feyenoord defender Lutsharel Geertruida, amid interest in him from 리버풀 and PSG in recent weeks. (Caught Offside)
