Adam has been at Stoke for seven seasons, while Fletcher joined the club two seasons ago from West Brom. Danish goalkeeper Haugaard has been with the club since 2015.

Manchester United are looking to complete transfers for Joao Felix and Bruno Fernandes shortly, the Evening Standard reports. 

United believe they can sign both attacking midfielders – Felix from Benfica and Fernandes from Sporting CP – for a combined fee of £150 million ($196m).

One potential complication to the deals would be United failing to qualify for the Champions League, with several other clubs chasing the pair that can offer football in Europe's top club competition. 

The Seattle Sounders have signed forward Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez as a homegrown player.

Ronald de Boer has said that he opted for a move to Rangers over Manchester United when he left Barcelona in 2000.

Jese Rodriguez will not return to Real Betis next season, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Lorenzo Insigne has held a meeting with his agents Enzo and Mino Raiola  to discuss his future at Napoli, according to Calciomercato.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis and director of football Cristiano Giuntoli also attended the meeting.

Insigne wants to remain with the club as long as progress continues with a winning project, but the winger also wants to be paid like a key member of that project.

The Italian's contract with the club runs through 2022. 

With three defeats in a row in the Premier League, Arsenal's hopes of finishing in the top four are looking decidedly bleak.

Juventus winger Juan Cuadrado wants to stay with the Serie A giants and is not interested in a move to either West Ham or Watford, according to Sky Sports.

The former Chelsea man had been linked with a return to the Premier League but he apparently is not keen on joining either of the aforementioned London clubs.

In an interview with Sky Italy, Cuadrado also reaffirmed his commitment to Juve and stated that he wants to stay, despite his contract expiring in 2020.

He said: "I'm very happy with the club, the city and the people. My family is happy here, I still have one year until my contract runs out but it doesn't only depend on me.

"I always try and do my best and I would be very happy to stay here."

Juventus are ready to make a move for Adrien Rabiot in the summer as Barcelona's attempts to sign the player hit the buffers, according to Tuttosport.

Unai Emery has confirmed that Aaron Ramsey's season is over due to injury, meaning he's now played his final game for Arsenal.

The Welshman heads to Juventus on a free transfer in the summer and he'll play no part in the Gunners' final fixtures in the Premier League and Europa League due to a hamstring injury.

"He was in a good moment when he was injured," Emery told reporters. "I said to him, 'I want to do something important in your last matches here' - though he could come back maybe in the future.

"I want to do something important. It will not be with him on the pitch - but still with him, with us."

Atletico Madrid are on the verge of agreeing on a deal to sign FC Porto defender Felipe - according to Sky Italia.

Felipe has appeared in 42 matches across all competitions for Porto this season, scoring twice.

Aaron Ramsey is taking a step down by leaving Arsenal for Juventus, former Gunners goalkeeper David Seaman has suggested.

Wales international Ramsey is set to complete a free transfer to the Serie A champions at the end of the season, having agreed to a contract that, according to some reports, will see him earn £400,000 per week.

However, Seaman still believes the Londoners are a bigger club than Juve, who have won eight consecutive league titles in Italy and have reached the Champions League final twice in the past four years.
