Transfer news live: Liverpool sell Quansah, Bayern battle Chelsea for Gittens, Arsenal’s Rodrygo hurdle

Amid all the Liverpool incomings, it appears midfielder Federico Chiesa is keen to leave Anfield.

It was a disappointing first season at the club for the Italian as he struggled to get match fit and only made a few appearances.

Fabrizio Romano is reporting that he’s keen on a move back to Serie A.

Barcelona sporting director Deco and manager Hansi Flick have both gone public in their admiration for Rashford, who Manchester United are willing to sell. And the England international praised the 17-year-old winger Yamal during an interview with a Spanish influencer, Javi Ruiz.

When asked if he wanted to play with the Euro 2024 winner, Rashford replied: “Yes, for sure. Everyone wants to play with the best. Hopefully… we’ll see.”

PSG have reportedly had a £55m bid rejected for Bournemouth’s Illya Zabarnyi.

The Champions League winners are keen to bolster their backline and have supposedly agreed personal terms with the 22-year-old Ukrainian but the Cherries don’t want to sell.

The English side have already lost one of their key defensive options after Dean Huijsen departed for Real Madrid in a deal worth £50m, while left-back Milos Kerkez is on the verge of joining Liverpool for £40m.

Atletico Madrid remain interested in Andy Robertson, with the Spanish club reportedly hoping to do a deal for under £10m.

The 31-year-old has a year left on his current contract and is believed to be open to the move considering the impending arrival of Milos Kerkez.

Ansu Fati is set for a move out of Barcelona to find more playing time.

“With his age and career, Ansu Fati can’t stay without playing,” said Deco, the club’s sporting director. “If he leaves, it will be on a loan. He is 23 but people talk about him like he’s 30. He still has a lot to grow and learn”.

Reports continue to link Andre Onana with a move away from Man Utd, with AS Monaco the latest team to be linked today.

Other reports claim that United want to replace Onana with Villa keeper Emi Martinez (in a deal worth £40m), though Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio says that Utd are targeting Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi.

But the Guardian says Onana wants to stay and fight for his place in the team.

Bayer Leverkusen have agreed a deal to sign Liverpool centre-back Jarell Quansah for £30m plus £5m in add-ons.

Fabrizio Romano has given it the full ‘here we go’ status.

The transfer will include a buy-back clause so Liverpool will have first option to bring back the defender at later date.

The 22-year-old has made 58 appearances for Liverpool over the past two campaigns. He started Arne Slot’s first league match but was subbed off at half-time for Ibrahima Konate, who went on to establish himself as Virgil van Dijk’s primary partner.

Quansah has been in the England squad but is yet to earn a senior cap.

What does all this mean for Liverpool’s pursuit of Marc Guehi?

Fulham’s Kenny Tete is heading north-west to Everton for a fresh start:

Wolves have announced that they have completed the signing of Celta Vigo attacker Fer Lopez.

He joins for just under £20m, with the deal potentially rising to £21.3m (€25m) with add-ons.

The 21-year-old has signed a five-year deal with the club.

Thomas Partey looks set to leave Arsenal when his contract expires at the end of the month. The midfielder was in negotiations over extending his stay at the club but talks are now at a standstill, according to ESPN.

Partey been linked with a move to Barcelona and drawn interest from Turkey. The 32-year-old is a key cog int he Gunners midfield but their impending signing of Martin Zubimendi softens the blow.
