Dan James to replace Helder Costa?

90min understands that Dan James‘ move to Leeds United is all but official, and Marcelo Bielsa is prepared to make room in his squad by temporarily offloading Helder Costa.

Costa’s name has been floated around for a loan move. One to keep an eye on.

Leicester making progress in Lookman chase

Leicester are pushing for a deal to sign RB Leipzig winger Ademola Lookman on loan with a view to a permanent deal.

The German side had been reluctant to get a deal done but are now warming to the idea, with the two sides close to striking an agreement.

Moise Kean officially returns to Juventus

Juventus are busy early this morning, eh?

They have announced that Moise Kean has rejoined the club from Everton on a two-year loan, with an obligation to buy for €28m if certain sporting objectives are met.

Juventus will pay €7m over two seasons for the loan agreement and bonuses of an additional €3m may also be payable on the basis of achieving other sporting goals.

RONALDO SALE CONFIRMED

Juventus have confirmed that they have sold Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United – in a deal which United will pay over five years.

United have yet to formally announce the completion of the deal, though it is expected shortly.

Their statement said:

„Juventus Football Club S.p.A. announces that it has reached an agreement with Manchester United FC Ltd for the definitive disposal of the registration rights of the player Dos Santos Aveiro Cristiano Ronaldo, for a consideration of €15.0m, payable in five financial years, which may be increased during the duration of the player’s sports performance contract, by an amount not higher than €8m, upon the achievement of specific sporting objectives.“

Hector Bellerin close to joining Betis

Arsenal full back Hector Bellerin will join Real Betis on transfer deadline day – having been ready to leave the Emirates Stadium for a number of months.

A deal is almost closed between Arsenal and Betis – the club he supported as a boy – and Bellerin will undergo a medical and complete the deal on Tuesday. It’s expected to be a loan with an option to buy, but nothing is confirmed as yet.

The move will mean a lot for the 26-year-old, who said in 2018: „My first shirt was Betis. My father was a fan, so it was difficult for me to support another club.“

Dan James on the verge of joining Leeds

Continuing the theme of Welsh international footballers moving today, Man Utd have agreed to sell Daniel James to Leeds for around £30m.

James has already travelled to Leeds and is expected to undergo a medical this morning. Leeds notably missed out on signing the player a couple of years ago, but this one seems like good business all round.

Roberts is out of contract at the end of this season and could end up featuring for the Clarets when he returns fully from injury at the end of September.

It’s transfer deadline day!

This summer’s window has literally been the craziest we’ve ever seen.
