Transfer news LIVE: Cristiano Ronaldo to Atletico LATEST, Bayern in for De Ligt, Munich want Kane to replace Lewandowski

Transfer round-up

Manchester United could duel Arsenal for Youri Tielemans after signing Lisandro Martinez – and Barcelona have come in for Prem target Jules Kounde.

Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag strongly admires Leicester midfielder Tielemans, who has long been tipped to join the Gunners.

And it’s claimed Barca are ready to bid £51million for Chelsea target Kounde – the Sevilla centre-back who was previously on the Gunners’ wishlist.

Meanwhile, United have all but confirmed Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez’s arrival from Ten Hag’s old club Ajax for £55m.

The Red Devils could still also swoop for Frenkie de Jong, even though the Holland midfielder is once more hinting he is reluctant to leave Barcelona.

United chiefs thought they had edged close to a £72m deal last week but are now prepared to wait until the last day of the transfer window – if needed.

Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo is again being linked with Arsenal.

And the Gunners are on the brink of announcing the recruitment of £30m Manchester City left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Etihad chief Pep Guardiola will then chase Brighton’s Marc Cucurella to replace the Ukrainian.

Chelsea are said to be in talks with PSG to tie up a £43m deal for France central defender Kimpembe.

Lastly, Everton could bid for Chelsea’s England midfielder Conor Gallagher.
