Talks with Aaron Wan-Bissaka continue at West Ham and he remains a key player in their right-back position, although it is a tough deal to get over the line.
Despite rumours, I am not aware of Arnau Martinez negotiations, and Kieran Trippier will only be an option if the Wan Bissaka deal goes through.
There is no immediate movement of Vladimir Coufal from what I have heard.
In the case of Trevoh Chalobah, Crystal Palace is interested but the same is true of international teams.
Chalobah will take his time to decide what is the best opportunity for him.
I am also told that Crystal Palace also have Lacroix on their shortlist, a player that Glasner highly values.
Therefore, a decision will be made when Marc Guehi's future is clarified as negotiations with Newcastle are still ongoing, they have not been done yet.
The former goalkeeper of Manchester United, finally returned after almost 13/14 months without doing anything on the pitch, will play in Serie A.
We are not waiting for a signature because we know that for agents there is always a risk in the market, but there is a verbal agreement.
David said yes to Fiorentina. Annual contract with annual option, €2m total and €1m in add-ons.
Good luck to David, after a long time without playing for him.
I also wanted to say what is happening at Arsenal, because we know they are busy with Eddie Nketiah's situation after selling Emile Smith Rowe to Fulham.
It was a tense situation with Marseille because they had an agreement with the player. Nketiah wants to go to Marseille, he is open to join and attract the project.
But negotiations have been heated in recent days because Marseille had a new bid rejected so they began to explore other options.
What they are doing now is to negotiate with Arsenal again for Eddie Nketiah.
What I hear is that they presented a new proposal 24 hours ago, but now they want to close the deal only on their terms – because they have spent more money on other positions.
Remember that Arsenal are also working to close the deal for Mikel Merino.
He has not been called up for Real Sociedad's next match because they say he is not 100 percent fit, but we know that the money transfer is the cause of this story because Mikel Merino has an agreement with Arsenal.
The contract has been agreed upon. The player said yes. He knows that Mikel Arteta wants him. This is true.
Arsenal have been closing the deal since last week, but they need to agree on a payment structure, payment terms, so the work continues.
There are many questions about Nico Williams, and as I wrote on Substack yesterday, there are no changes…
Barça keep calling Nico's agent, but at the moment Athletic Club are fully confident and hoping to keep him at the club.
They are sure that Nico will end up staying. Barça has a dream and is trying to make it a reality, but Athletic is currently free.
I think there is still a chance for Ivan Toney to leave this summer.
There may be some movement in the coming days and weeks, but nothing imminent so far.
We have to see which clubs have a real interest, because around 10 different clubs are rumored to be interested in him this summer.
I don't want to release names without concrete reviews but, of course, it's still an open situation.
There are no changes to Tottenham's plans to sign Dominic Solanke, despite Richarlison wanting to stay.
Solanke remains the number one target.
Richarlison is completely focused on Spurs and Tottenham already knew this so his situation does not change the plan to bring more players.
It's not easy negotiating with Bournemouth but Spurs are trying.
Roma are looking for a new midfielder and Smalling could leave if there is a good offer for both Roma and the player.
I wanted to finish according to Jadon Sancho. It is important to mention that his status also remains open.
He is 100 percent part of the Man United squad, but if there is an official proposal in the next three weeks, there could still be a move for Jadon Sancho.
Man United could be open to doing business and the player could be open to a move, so it all depends on the proposals.
Now, everything is fine, but PSG and others have been in contact with Sancho's agents.
There is still no bid but the situation is under observation until the end of the window.
