Transfer news LIVE! Liverpool chase Florian Wirtz, Bryan Mbeumo asks for huge wage boost, Arsenal in talks over Benjamin Sesko
Manchester United received another transfer boost last night as Brentford’s 20-goal striker Bryan Mbeumo reportedly shunned interest from Newcastle in favour of a move to Old Trafford. Rumoured to be a boyhood United fan, the Cameroon international’s negotiations with the Magpies are said to have broken down after he asked for an eye-watering wage package worth four times his Brentford deal. The Red Devils are still hoping to hold on to Bruno Fernandes after signing Matheus Cunha from Wolves, and Alejandro Garnacho is believed to be interested in a move to Chelsea.
The Blues have started fast in the market too, with confirmation of Liam Delap’s signing from Ipswich expected in the coming days after Dario Essugo’s arrival was announced yesterday. They are now thought to be chasing Hugo Ekitike’s signature as Enzo Maresca looks to expand his options at striker ahead of the Club World Cup. He is also hoping to add a winger in Jamie Gittens.
At Anfield, another bid is being prepared for Florian Wirtz after Liverpool saw two club-record offerings already turned down after falling short of Leverkusen’s asking price, reportedly set at £126m. They are continuing to push for the deal, though, and are also set to begin searching for a goalkeeper as Caoimhin Kelleher is set to join Brentford.
At Tottenham, a decision on Ange Postecoglou’s future is finally expected to arrive this week, with Thomas Frank again eyed as a replacement, while Manchester City are pursuing Rayan Ait Nouri, Tijjani Reijnders, and Rayan Cherki. Follow the latest transfer news, rumours and gossip live below!

More detail has been revealed as to Bruno Fernandes’ decision to pull out of an Al Hilal transfer.
While Al Hilal bosses felt he was sold on the project and were ready to make an offer of over £85, Fernandes pulled out after discussing the deal with his family, who were thought to be key to his decision-making process.
