Manchester United’s pursuit of Frenkie de Jong will, as expected, head to the club with the Red Devils preparing to restart negotiations. United had agreed a fee with Barcelona a few weeks ago, but it has since fallen through after De Jong refused to entertain leaving the La Liga giants.
However, United will once again replace the Dutchman as Erik ten Hag looks to strengthen his squad before the window closes on September 1. Along with De Jong, the likes of Antony, Cody Gakpo, Casemiro and a new right-back and goalkeeper could walk through the gates at Old Trafford.
United are not the only Premier League club busy working on transfers, with the likes of Tottenham and Newcastle still keen to add to the business they have already done. The former have already made seven signings so far, but Antonio Conte is not entirely satisfied and still wants a creative midfielder.
Nicolo Zaniolo is their No.1 target, and although the Italian is in talks to extend his contract at Roma, Jose Mourinho has admitted the midfielder could still leave. Atalanta’s Ruslan Malinovskyi has been identified as an alternative should a Zaniolo move fail to materialise.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are close to sealing a deal for Watford’s Joao Pedro and are eyeing a £10m move for Maxi Gomez. Other Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Arsenal, are also expected to welcome a new face before the window closes.
