Looks as though Louis van Gaal's keen on Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez. A fee of £20m has been mentioned, but so has talk of Barca holding out until after the World Cup in the hope he'll have a stormer and therefore be worth loads more. Still, if that one doesn't come off, PSG will probably accept £56m for Edinson Cavani whenever. Thomas Muller's signed a new contract, Toni Kroos is about to do the same and United are in danger of not signing any midfielders at all from Bayern Munich this summer. It's all on Bastian Schweinsteiger, £20m.
Arsenal are giving Porto striker Jackson Martinez the eye, and Porto are doing the same to Arsenal's bag o' £30m. The Gunners might have bloody well exercised their Carlos Vela buy-back clause as well, though rumour has it he'd rather stay at Sociedad; thanks all the same.
Micah Richards is a target for West Ham, Inter are still running with that sign-any-striker-playing-in-England schtick (Stevan Jovetic) and Hull are keen on Joleon Lescott. Tom Ince too.
Albert Moreno's move to Liverpool has been held-up after a dispute between Sevilla and the Scousers over how much of the £16m fee should be paid up-front. Is it possible times are hard? All the more reason for Brendan Rodgers to flog Suso to Porto and Luis Alberto to anyone who'll have him then really. Nottingham Forest keeper Karl Darlow could be brought in as cover for Simon Mignolet too, but not if Spurs get there first.
And lastly, Palace are after Jake Livermore and Peter Crouch. Though if there's any justice in this world the latter will instead reunite once more with his soul-mate Harry Redknapp, at QPR. You don't meddle with that shit, Tone.
