Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Leeds in talks for Man Utd's Dan James

Willian is set to tear up the remaining two years of his Arsenal contract and re-join Brazilian side Corinthians on a free transfer, reports&nbsp;<a href="https://www.espn.com.br/futebol/artigo/_/id/9130140/willian-acerta-rescisao-com-arsenal-e-fecha-com-corinthians-ate-fim-de-2023-veja-detalhes" target="_blank">ESPN.</a> The 33-year-old signed a three-year deal when he&nbsp;joined the Gunners on a free transfer from Chelsea last summer&nbsp;but failed to make an impact, scoring just once in 37 appearances. The club initially struggled to find a buyer for the winger but by agreeing to terminate his contract the player has helped speed up a return to his boyhood club, with a deal set to be confirmed before Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are working to reach a final agreement on a transfer for Kylian Mbappe - according to <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2021/08/30/612c8435268e3e3c0a8b4597.html" target="_blank">Marca</a>. The Blancos have yet to receive a response to their second bid of €170 million (£146m/$200m) for the Frenchman, but it is understood that PSG won't let him go for less than €200m (£172m/$236m). Mbappe has rejected PSG's offers of a contract extension, though, and they are open to negotiating a final deal with Real before the summer window closes.

Barcelona rejected a €20 million (£17m/$24m)-plus Serge Aurier bid for Emerson Royal from Tottenham - according to <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/4464416/barcelona-reject-emerson-royal-bid-from-tottenham-despite-financial-woes-sources" target="_blank">ESPN</a>. The Blaugrana are expecting Spurs to return with an improved offer before Tuesday's transfer deadline, but they are reluctant to sell the right-back. Emerson returned to Barca earlier this summer after a two-year stint at Real Betis, who are entitled to a percentage of any future sell-on fee.
