Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a move for Chelsea centre-half Trevoh Chalobah. According to The Independent, the Blues would be willing to sell the 24-year-old to meet profit and sustainability rules and United are in need of a central defender following the exit of Raphael Varane.
The Daily Mail says 27-year-old Liverpool duo Luis Diaz and Joe Gomez are being eyed by Saudi Pro League clubs. The departure of Jurgen Klopp and arrival of Arne Slot could trigger changes in Liverpool’s squad, with Saudi clubs said to be willing to break the bank to attract younger players.
Another duo that could be on the move are Tottenham’s striker Richarlison and defender Emerson Royal. The Standard reports manager Ange Postecoglou is preparing a major clear out, with Richarlison attracting interest from Saudi Arabia and Royal wanted by AC Milan.
