Manchester United is said to have reached out to Brighton regarding the availability of midfielder Carlos Baleba. It appears that United is looking to acquire a new midfielder, but Brighton is reluctant to let Baleba go, making it unlikely that United will be able to afford the Cameroon international unless they offload some players.

Both Arsenal and Tottenham are reportedly awaiting a response from Brazilian international Rodrygo before proceeding with their interest in the Real Madrid forward this summer.

Champions League finalists Inter Milan may explore the option of signing Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho if their attempts to acquire Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman from Atalanta do not materialize.
