The Manchester Evening News reports that as many as 15 senior players could depart Manchester United this summer.

The likes of Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic have already left as free agents, with questions now being asked of how long Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Andreas Pereira and Anthony Martial will stick around.

Manchester City will only be willing to part with Nathan Ake if they have a replacement lined up first, reports the Manchester Evening News.

The Dutch defender has seen a return to Chelsea speculated on, but no deal will be done unless Pep Guardiola can find suitable cover.

Experienced Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero is open to the idea of rejoining Manchester United a year on from leaving Old Trafford for Venezia.

His current club suffered relegation out of Serie A last season and the South American is, according to the Manchester Evening News, willing to rejoin the Red Devils as back-up to David de Gea.

Tottenham are closing in on the signing of Richarlison from Everton, GOAL can confirm, with the Brazil international forward set to undergo a medical.

It appeared at one stage as though the 25-year-old would be heading to north London as a new addition at Arsenal, but the Gunners have turned their attention to alternative Samba stars such as Gabriel Jesus and Raphinha.

That has left a door open for Spurs to swoop in, with another proven Premier League performer being added to Antonio Conte’s ranks on the back of deals for Fraser Forster and Yves Bissouma.

However, the Brazilian has expressed his preferred option at this stage would be to remain at Flamengo.

Pereira has said when quizzed on his future: “I’m not the one who decides - it’s up to Man United. I would like to stay at Flamengo, but it's not in my hands."

According to SportWitness, Chelsea are simply waiting on Raphinha's agreement to join the London club, having already agreed a fee with Leeds United, though the player does not appear to be convinced as he awaits Barcelona's move.

Spurs were said to have given up on the former Nottingham Forest loanee after learning of his asking price, but a deal could still be done as Antonio Conte is still looking to land another right wing-back.

CaughtOffside claims that Arsenal are leading Manchester United in the race for Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.

The Argentine has worked with Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag before, but the Gunners are now favourites to secure his signature as Premier League rivals become distracted by other deals.
