Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd working on deal, Barcola to Liverpool, Fernandez £120m call

Hello and welcome to Mirror Football's live transfer blog for Thursday, August 13th. With just three weeks of the window remaining, the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are finalising their plans.

United’s main priority is signing a new left-back but Newcastle aren’t willing to sell their main target Lewis Hall. Michael Carrick’s side could also strengthen in midfield and upfront.

Arsenal want to bring in Aston Villa and England defender Ezri Konsa before the deadline and continue to look at alternative options after failing to convince Vinicius Jr to leave Real Madrid.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are working on a deal to sign PSG winger Bradley Barcola but aren’t willing to match the French club’s £145m asking price.

As per the Mail, Fulham have made an offer to West Ham United for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

A number of non-regular starters have left Sunderland AFC this week, including Anthony Patterson - who joined AFC Wrexham - and Leo Hjelde - now at KV Mechelen.

Manchester City have told Barcelona that £68m and not a penny less will land them Rodri this summer.

TEAMtalk has been told by a source from the Sky Blues that they consider the asking price as good despite the Spaniard heading into the final 12 months of his contract.

It is understood that City would rather retain Rodri for the season and let him leave for free next summer than accept a sub-par bid the 30-year-old midfielder.

Alexander Sorloth has been a Newcastle United target this summer, but the Magpies will likely be forced to look elsewhere as a result of the 30-year-old sustaining a muscular injury.

As per Sporten, the centre-forward is set to miss the start of the season.

Reports suggest that Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a move for Nicolo Tresoldi.

The club are on the lookout for reinforcement at centre-forward, with the 21-year-old Club Brugge star viewed as an ideal candidate.

Takvim report that Galatasaray are interested in strengthening their squad with Mathys Tel this summer.

As per Fabrizio Romano, Marc Pubill is on Arsenal's shortlist as they look to sign a new centre-half.

Arsenal have reignited their interest in Aston Villa and England defender Ezri Konsa.

BBC Sport reports that the Gunners are ready to return for the 28-year-old, having held exploratory talks with Villa earlier in the window.

Arsenal previously wanted to pay around £30m for Konsa, who is still on holiday after the World Cup, while Villa believe £60m is a fair price.

Rio Ferdinand reckons Marcus Rashford will be 'like a new signing' for Manchester United after making his return to the club.

The England forward is back at Carrington after Barcelona opted against making his stay permanent and Ferdinand told his YouTube channel: “Rashford is back at Manchester United at the training ground and guys, he’s like a purring Ferrari, man.

“He looks fit, he looks ready. And you know what, there’s a smile on his face and there’s a little spring in his step.

“We don’t know which way this is going to go and how it’s going to pan out by the end of this transfer window. But you know what, I hope he stays, and he will be like a new signing at the football club.

“And could this be the motivated Marcus Rashford to come out and prove all the doubters and all the people wrong? And all the naysayers.

Chelsea have given clubs a deadline to pay £120 million if they wish to sign Enzo Fernandez before the end of the transfer window. Manchester City have been strongly linked with an interest in the midfielder.

Our sister title football.london reports that the Blues have set a deadline of Friday at 5pm for City, or any other interested clubs to pay the £120 million price tag they have put on his head.

Leicester City prospect Louis Page is favouring a move to Manchester United over Arsenal. The teenager has been viewed as a potential third midfield addition for this season.

The 18-year-old is also being pursued by the Gunners. However, it's understood by the Athletic he favours a move to Old Trafford over the Emirates Stadium, with United actively working on the deal.

PSG chairman Nasser Al Khelaifi admitted there is a chance that Bradley Barcola leaves the club before the window shuts.

Liverpool are trying to do a deal with the Ligue 1 champions to sign the France winger, while Arsenal are also keeping tabs on his situation.

Tottenham have reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid for the transfer for club captain Cristian Romero.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Atletico will pay a total fee of €40 million (£34.1m).
