We're a week into the second transfer window of the summer and already the British transfer record has been broken. Liverpool have signed Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal which could end up costing them £116m.
And the Reds' business is not over. Arne Slot's side have reached an agreement for a £40m deal to sign Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez, who is set for a medical this week.
And the Reds are also keen on Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi, but they have Arsenal for company. While Jarell Quansah could depart the club.
The Gunners are pushing for Benjamin Sesko as they eye a new frontman, but the RB Leipzig star's demands could still scupper the deal. Perhaps a move for Viktor Gyokeres is not yet off the table however. Confirmation of Martin Zubimendi's transfer may not happen until next month.
Manchester United are also in the market for a forward having already added Matheus Cunha. But exits will equally be on Ruben Amorim's mind.
United have yet to part ways with Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Antony or Alejandro Garnacho. And the club may need the financial boost with significant prices quoted for the likes of Gyokeres and Bryan Mbeumo.

Sancho latest
Jadon Sancho has yet to find an exit from Manchester United but is said to be willing to move to Italy. One route out of the club may be dependent on another deal failing first however.
Repoorts in Italy suggest that a move from Juventus for 25-year-old depends on whether they sign Francisco Conceicao from Porto.

Arsenal are said to be growing frustrated with Benjamin Sesko's wage demands as they look to wrap up a deal for a new striker this summer.
And while the club are ready to pay £70m for the RB Leipzig star, talks with Sesko's camp over his wages are not going smoothly.
