Manchester United will not give up on their quest to sign Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann, claims the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9401957/man-utd-antoine-griezmann-transfer-barcelona-neymar/" target="_blank">Sun</a>.&nbsp; Griezmann has already informed his current club he will not be staying for the 2019-20 season amid constant links to Barcelona.&nbsp; But United hope to convince the Frenchman that a mooted Camp Nou return for Neymar will lead to the Catalans dropping their interest, and thus seal a deal themselves.

Kylian Mbappe has made it clear to Paris Saint-Germain that he does not see his long-term future at the club and will reject any attempts to extend his current deal, which expires in 2022, says <a href="https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2019/06/29/5d171e9be2704e3e728b45a0.html" target="_blank">Marca</a>. The France international signed for the Ligue 1 champions in 2017, but is reportedly unhappy he has to share top billing with Neymar in Paris. Mbappe, who scored 33 goals in the French top-flight last season, has been linked with Real Madrid, but PSG has insisted he's not for sale. If Mbappe doesn't intend to remain with his current side, they may need to cash in soon, as his value will drop as his contract winds down.

Diego Simeone wants to bring James Rodriguez to Atletico Madrid, according to El Transistor. As a result the Real Madrid player has called a halt to his rumoured move to Napoli.

Chelsea are willing to recall Alvaro Morata from Atletico Madrid to bolster their striking options if the La Liga club do not pay £50m ($63m) for him. The Spanish international striker has had a troubled time in West London, but with a two window transfer ban looming, the Blues might be forced to bring him back early from an 18-month loan spell in the Spanish capital, reports <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/06/28/exclusive-chelsea-insist-atletico-madrid-must-pay-50m-alvaro/" target="_blank">The Daily Telegraph</a>. Morata is desparate to remain in Spain, but Atletico might not be able to afford the sum Chelsea require if they complete their signing of Joao Felix for £113m, the paper says.

Kieran Tierney “should be insulted by Arsenal’s bids for him”, says Chris Sutton, with the&nbsp;Celtic&nbsp;full-back considered to be worth at least £35 million ($44m) to the Scottish Premier League outfit. The Gunners are a long way short of that valuation at present, with&nbsp;the bidding opened at just £15m ($19m). That approach was knocked back, with the&nbsp;Scottish champions making it clear that they value a 22-year-old defender much higher than that. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/tierney-should-be-insulted-by-arsenals-bids-sutton-slams-efforts-/1uetlcooewcti19lttt2wq0dix" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>

Woodward went on to confirm the arrival of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who joins from Crystal Palace.

Kieran Tierney is not better than Virgil van Dijk, says Charlie Nicholas, who believes a figure of around £20 million ($25m) should be enough for Arsenal to lure the left-back away from&nbsp;Celtic. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/tierney-isnt-better-than-van-dijk-20m-enough-for-arsenal-to/1d3eu49py4oat17tdh6luuw5p8" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>

Alvaro Morata has been assured that Diego Simeone and&nbsp;Atletico Madrid&nbsp;want to keep hold of him amid concerns&nbsp;the striker might be forced to return to&nbsp;Chelsea&nbsp;this summer.&nbsp; The Blues are discussing a deal to offload their star with the&nbsp;La Liga&nbsp;runners-up after loaning their failed £58 million ($74m) signing in January as he pushed to leave the club.

Arsenal may be prepared to sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has emerged as a shock target for Manchester United but only at the right price. <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2019/06/29/arsenal-demand-least-56m-pierre-emerick-aubameyang-manchester-united-transfer-link-10089163/" target="_blank">Metro</a> reports that fee is £56m ($71m), and that the Gunners may cash in on the forward, who is 30 and is likely to see his value dwindle. Unai Emery's team is operating on a budget believed to be around £45m, and are keen on Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha. The Eagles value the player at £80m though, and are not otivated to sell, having just parted with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who joined Manchester United.

Arsenal legend Sol Campbell has said the signings of William Saliba and Kieran Tierney will give the Gunners 'a boost'.

Unai Emery is understood to want to sign the 18-year-old Saliba from St Etienne, with a fee of £25m ($32m) mooted. "If Arsenal could get those two players then it would give Emery such a boost in terms of their Champions League hopes for next season," Campbell said. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/arsenal-must-pull-out-all-the-stops-for-saliba-and-tierney/vebd8jtjb8471iilss6m8db67" target="_blank">Read what else he had to say on Goal!</a>

Liverpool are confident that Divock Origi will sign a five-year offer they've made after manager Jurgen Klopp called the forward while he was on holiday to discuss the deal. The contract includes a significant pay raise, according to <a href="https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-liverpool-close-to-agreeing-new-five-year-deal-with-star-after-klopp-holiday-talks/" target="_blank">Football Insider</a>, and reflects not just the Belgium internationals' late-season heroics last year, but his dedication on and off the pitch. Although Origi is likely to remain a back-up to Liverpool's vaunted front-three of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino he may be vital in the early stages of the season as those players recover from international competition.

Ole Gunnar Solksjaer views Ivan Rakitic as a potential midfield replacement for Paul Pogba at Manchester United, says <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/manchester-united-vuelve-carga-por-rakitic-7527362" target="_blank">Sport</a>. The Red Devils had previously made an offer of €35m (£31m/$40m) for the Croatia international, which was rejected. Solskjaer is worried that Pogba will leave for Real Madrid or Juventus, however, and contact has been made with Barca, who will not part with Rakitic for less than €50m, the report states.

Inter will sell Joao Mario and Dalbert to raise the money to meet Manchester United'd £75m ($95m) valuation for striker Romelu Lukaku. <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9395806/inter-milan-romelu-lukaku-bid-man-utd-mario-dalbert/" target="_blank">The Sun</a> says that Joao Mario will head to Monaco and Dalbert is off to either Monaco or Lyon in deals that will see the Milan club net £40m.
