Manchester United are making strides towards securing their third centre-midfield signing of the summer, having submitted a £60m bid for Carlos Baleba of Brighton & Hove Albion. The Cameroon international has been on United's radar for some time, and they may increase their offer by £5m. Initially valued at over £100m last summer, Baleba's price has become more favorable following a challenging year for the player.

In other transfer news, Liverpool has initiated discussions with Inter Milan regarding a potential sale of Curtis Jones. While no deal has been finalized, both clubs are in talks, with Liverpool likely to accept around €35m (£30m) for the midfielder's transfer to the San Siro. Additionally, Liverpool remains interested in Bradley Barcola after stepping back from their pursuit of Ibrahim Mbaye from PSG.

On the defensive front, Arsenal has successfully agreed to sign Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa for approximately £51m. Manager Mikel Arteta aims to strengthen his backline following injuries to William Saliba and Jurrien Timber. Konsa is expected to compete with Cristhian Mosquera to fill in alongside Gabriel Magalhaes, with a debut possible against Aston Villa next week.

Lastly, Tottenham Hotspur is eyeing two potential signings from Manchester City, focusing on Omar Marmoush and Savinho. Spurs had previously considered a £50m move for Savinho last summer and are keen to bolster their squad as Roberto De Zerbi looks to enhance their forward line after narrowly avoiding relegation last season.
