Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Varane agrees Man Utd terms

Bayern Munich have a clause in Alexander Nubel's loan contract that would allow the club to recall him if needed, per <a href="https://www.sport1.de/fussball/bundesliga/2021/07/fc-bayern-auch-wegen-salihamidzic-wechselt-alexander-nuebel-zur-as-monaco" target="_blank">Sport1</a>. The shotstopper is headed to Monaco, having struggled to break past Manuel Neuer for a starting shirt in the Bundesliga. But should the latter pick up an injury, Bayern would be able to bring the highly-rated talent back immediately to fill his gloves.

Raphael Varane has agreed personal terms with Manchester United but the matter of his transfer fee remains a stumbling block for the Red Devils, per the <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1457903/Real-Madrid-transfer-news-Raphael-Varane-Manchester-United-personal-terms" target="_blank">Express</a>. Hot on the heels of finally wrapping up their move for Jadon Sancho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side look set bring the Real Madrid defender to the club. However, Los Blancos are yet to agree to the transfer fee for the France international, which will slow down any potential move.

Arsenal are prepared to let Willian go after an underwhelming first year at the Emirates Stadium, per <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/arsenal-transfer-news-willian-arteta-24453604" target="_blank">The Mirror</a>. The former Chelsea man failed to impress as he made the switch from the Blues, with the Gunners missing out on European football entirely last term. Now, at 33, he could be set to make an early exit despite having two years left to run on his contract with the club.

Real Madrid have told Manchester United that they will take Donny van de Beek off their hands on loan as part of a deal for Raphael Varane. <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/15484235/man-utd-van-de-beek-varane-transfer-real-madrid/" target="_blank">The Sun</a> reports that Los Blancos also want €50 million for the France international centre-back. Given Van de Beek's struggles at Man Utd since signing from Ajax, this could be an attractive deal.

Wolves have confirmed the arrival of Barcelona winger Francisco Trincao on a season-long loan deal for the 2021-22 campaign, with a further option to buy the Blaugrana starlet next summer too. The Portugal international, a member of Ronald Koeman's Copa del Rey-winning squad this term, enjoyed a busy season at Camp Nou following his arrival from Braga in 2020. Now however, he will spend the upcoming campaign at Molineux, as the Midlands outfit look to strengthen their place in the Premier League following Nuno&nbsp;Espirito Santo's exit to Tottenham. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/wolves-land-barcelonas-trincao-on-season-long-loan-with/1y1muo1j3yj5r10kwj6r8tidpr" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal here!</a>
