Patrice Evra to Juventus is definitely happening then. Despite only recently having his contract extended he's forcing through the £2m move due to 'personal reasons'. No word on what those reasons might be so let's just assume he's missing Carlos Tevez. Who knows, they might even be able to as well.
Anyways, United could replace him with Wolfsburg's Swiss left-back Ricardo Rodriguez, or Daley Blind. Also, the chairman of Galatasaray has casually been mentioning how Wesley Sneijder's got a £16m release clause. Like Louis van Gaal and Blind, Sneijder is Dutch, but nevertheless that's still quite a bit for a 30-year-old.
Arsenal have agreed a fee of £35m and personal terms for Alexis Sanchez. By rights he'd be having a medical already but Barca are delaying until the Luis Suarez deal is done. Mathieu Debuchy's still not a Gunner either but is also close to signing. It's the end of the road for Mikel Arteta though, or at least it will be if someone coughs up the £6m asking price.
Lazar Markovic is due for a medical at Liverpool ahead of his £20m move, and Brendan Rodgers is after Swansea's Ben Davies as well. In other left back news, Fiilipe Luis to Chelsea, £20m.
West Ham may turn their attentions to Ecuador winger Enner Valencia if the £12m bid for Yevhen Konoplyanka is rejected and Southampton could be about to offer Celtic £8m for Fraser Forster. Done.
