David De Gea will put pen to paper on a £350,000 per week deal at Manchester United.
De Gea has lost his starting role with Spain to Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga.
But United are keen to ward off interest from PSG and Juventus to keep their star shot-stopper long term.
Liverpool could yet sell Dejan Lovren, despite his Roma move collapsing due to the Croatian's demands over bonuses.
Bayer Leverkusen are now keen, report Bild.
Jurgen Klopp is not keen on the Croatian anymore, despite a lack of depth at the position, with the Bundesliga deadline on September 2.
Tottenham could sell Victor Wanyama to Club Brugge for £11m.
The Kenyan midfielder is surplus to requirements now under Mauricio Pochettino, report the Telegraph.
And £11m could prove value for Spurs, given the 28-year-old's injury record and just two years remaining on his deal.
Fraser Forster looks set to head back to Celtic, with Sun reporting the Southampton shot-stopper is heading for a medical.
Forster left the Hoops for Saints in 2014 but has found himself down the pecking order now under Ralph Hasenthuttl.
With Angus Gunn and Alex McCarthy ahead of him, Forster could now return under Neil Lennon to compete with Craig Gordon.
Crystal Palace will hand contract extensions to Christian Benteke and James Tomkins.
The Mail report the Eagles are now finalising new deals to keep the duo at Selhurt Park long term.
The Eagles will have to match or better Benteke's £120,000 per week wages to avoid losing him on a free next summer.
While Tomkins' current £70,000 per week deal expires in 2021.
Bayern Munich's Renato Sanches could join Lille before the end of the transfer window.
The Portuguese midfielder has struggled since his move to Bavaria.
And now Lille could swoop, but Bayern want €30m, claim RMC.
Nice have agreed a deal with Spartak Moscow for the sale of Adrien Tameze.
Nice-Matin report the midfielder will cost the Russians €10m with a further €2m coming in add-ons.
They add the deal is subject to Patrick Vieira sanctioning the deal.
Aston Villa have announced Ahmed Elmohamady has penned a new one-year contract extension with the club.
Mason Mount has shone a light on one way to make it at Chelsea.
The 20-year-old midfielder has impressed Frank Lampard, both this season and before on loan at Derby County.
A host of youngsters will now make what could be their first steps towards making it with the Blues on loan.
We’ve rated their chances, including some players yet to go on loan and awaiting the right opportunity or recovering from injury. Extra weight has been given to those players with lengthy contracts with the club, while those set to become free agents next summer have had their chances cut.
Who will follow Mount, Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi and be handed a first team appearance in the future?
