Transfer News: The Latest Rumours From Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and all the top teams
MAN UTD MAKE DENDONCKER ENQUIRY
Manchester United have made an enquiry about the availability of Anderlecht midfielder Leander Dendoncker, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Jose Mourinho was impressed with the 22-year-old's performances against United in the Europa League last season and is now keen to explore a deal for the Belgian.
Anderlecht apparently value the midfielder at between £22 million and £31m although the report suggests that United are not expected to complete a transfer in the summer window.
ARSENAL WEIGH UP SERI BID
Arsenal are weighing up whether to make an offer for talented Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri, according to ESPN.

INTER TARGET DRAXLER
Inter are aiming to lure Julian Draxler from Paris Saint-Germain as part of a deal that will see Joao Mario move to the French capital, Corrierre dello Sport says.
PSG are interested in the Portuguese midfielder, but he will command a high fee considering he only joined Inter from Sporting last season. Draxler made the switch from Wolfsburg to PSG in January, but with Neymar and Alexis Sanchez possibly arriving, he may have to look elsewhere for first-team football already.
DI MARIA OPEN TO BARCA MOVE
With Neymar seemingly set for a move to Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona have been in touch with Angel Di Maria to gauge the Argentine's interest in a move the opposite way, Mundo Deportivo reports.
The Spanish outlet claims the attacker is open to the idea of playing alongside countryman Lionel Messi and, at 29 years old, could make the most of the final peak years of his career with one more high-profile move.
AC MILAN WANT DIEGO COSTA

LIVERPOOL JOIN SANCHES CHASE
Liverpool have joined Chelsea and Manchester United in the hunt for Bayern Munich midfielder Renato Sanches, according to Sport Bild .

The report claims the Blaugrana are resigned to losing Neymar and have drawn up a shortlist of possible replacements, including Borussia Dortmund's Ousmane Dembele and PSG's Angel Di Maria.
But Barca reportedly prefer Griezmann as he is already used to Spanish football, but they would need to negotiate with Atletico as they cannot afford the Frenchman's €200m release clause.

LIVERPOOL STEP UP VAN DIJK HUNT
Liverpool refuse to be beaten in their pursuit of Virgil van Dijk and will attempt to close the deal before the end of the transfer window, according to the Daily Mail.
Southampton have been adamant they will not sell their star defender, insisting he would stay at St. Mary's.
But after incessant interest from the Reds the club could now relent, and have lined up Lazio's Wesley Hoedt as a possible replacement.
BARCA HAS €100M COUTINHO OFFER REJECTED

MAN UTD AGREE AURIER TERMS
Manchester United have struck a deal with Serge Aurier to sign the right-back from Paris Saint-Germain but he wil have to face a court hearing to be granted permission to enter the UK, The Sun reports.

LIVERPOOL WANT LEMAR
Liverpool may enter the race to sign Thomas Lemar from Monaco if Philipp Coutinho joins Barcelona, Le10 Sport claims.
The 21-year-old midfielder has been the subject of bids from Arsenal, but Monaco are determined to hold on to him. However, with Coutinho being pursued by Barca as a potential replacement for Neymar should he join Paris Saint-Germain, the Reds may go after the France international.
BARCA COULD TURN TO OZIL
Barcelona could turn their attention to signing Arsenal's Mesut Ozil if they are unable to sign Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool, Don Balon claims.
With Neymar's future up in the air regarding a potential move to Paris Saint-Germain, the Catalan side are having to look at alternatives to the former Brazil captain.
Coutinho is said to be atop their wishlist if his countryman does leave for PSG, but Barca believe they could prise Ozil away from the Emirates for a fee of around €60 million and have a dig at Real Madrid – the German's former club – in the process.
