Sky Sports sources say that Manchester United have agreed a £75m fee with Everton to sign striker Romelu Luakaku.

The move means that Jose Mourinho may have ended his interest in Real Madrid’s Alvaro Morata.


The Guardian reports that Atletico Madrid are ready to make a first formal bid to take Diego Costa back to the Spanish capital from Chelsea. Blues boss Antonio Conte has made it clear Costa is not in his plans but with no fee yet agreed between the clubs he will be expected back for the start of pre-season on Monday. If Atletico meet an asking price of around £40m a deal could be completed swiftly.


Paris St Germain are set to launch a £70million bid to sign Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho, according to French paper Le10Sport, quoted by the Daily Express. The Brazilian playmaker was outstanding for Jurgen Klopp’s side last season, scoring 13 goals to help Liverpool secure Champions League football and he signed a new five-year contract in January.

The 26-year-old has a year remaining on his contract at Turf Moor but has rejected the offer of a new deal.

The Sun reports that Premier League newcomers Huddersfield are on the verge of bringing Danish defender Mathias Jorgensen to the club from FC Copenhagen. Jorgensen has made seven international appearances for Denmark and is likely to cost the Terriers around £3.5m.
