Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Liverpool set sights on Kessie

Manchester United are ready to hijack Arsenal's move for Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves - according to <a href="https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1417825791828799491?s=20" target="_blank">talkSPORT</a>. The Gunners have been heavily linked with the 24-year-old in recent weeks, but the Red Devils could swoop in and steal his signature right under their rivals' noses.

Raphael Varane has an agreement in principle with Manchester United over a contract until 2026, but there remains no deal in place with Real Madrid for the defender,&nbsp;Goal&nbsp;can confirm. The Red Devils are yet to make an official bid for Varane and are continuing to bide their time, knowing they hold the aces in negotiations with the Spanish club,&nbsp;who have accepted the Frenchman will leave. No transfer is expected to be announced imminently, and with Varane -&nbsp;who has the utmost respect for Madrid -&nbsp;having not asked to leave, he is happy to play the waiting game until his future is resolved. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/varane-agreement-man-utd-2026-talks-real-madrid/1xb7ibmou5gwm10t31m3mht4kv" target="_blank">Check out the full story on Goal!</a>

Chelsea's mission to sign a world-class striker has seen them&nbsp;ask to be kept informed about Robert Lewandowski's situation at Bayern Munich,&nbsp;Goal&nbsp;can confirm. Although Bayern are strongly opposed to a sale this summer, the 32-year-old could be tempted by&nbsp;a new opportunity overseas. With just two years left on his contract at Allianz Arena, the Blues know their good connections with the Polish superstar could come in handy,&nbsp;having twice attempted to sign him in the past. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/chelsea-lewandowski-sign-haaland-kane/6qjl692t8mpi1091gz31uyon9" target="_blank">Check out the full story on Goal!</a>
