DEADLINE DAY! ALL THE BIGGEST FOOTBALL TRANSFERS! BARCELONA - LIVERPOOL - MANCHESTER UNITED Liverpool sign central midfielder! Fabrizio Romano Reliability: 5 Ryan Gravenberch joins Liverpool! Here we go! The Reds and the Bavarians have agreed on a transfer for an estimated fee of 40 million euros + 5 million in add-ons. Today, the Dutchman is expected to fly to England, undergo a medical check-up and ink a 5-year contract. Gravenberch will become Liverpool's fourth new central midfielder after Alexis MacAllister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo. Liverpool had reportedly beaten Manchester United in the battle for Gravenberch’s signature. The 21-year-old prospect joined Bayern Munich from Ajax for €18.5 million last summer but has failed to deliver in Munich, making 24 Bundesliga appearances without any goal contribution. Atlético confirm possible Felix exit Quote (Marca) Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has confirmed that the team's ace Joao Felix intends to move to Barcelona: "Joao Felix already said that he wanted to go to a specific team that is Barcelona and we are waiting to see if they decide or not." According to Relevo, the sides are very close to concluding a one-year loan with an option to buy. Barcelona will also take on the entire salary of the Portuguese striker. Xavi expects Felix to replace Ansu Fati, who has already arrived in Brighton & Hove Albion camp to complete his loan agreement. Los Colchoneros bought Felix from Benfica back in the summer of 2019. Throughout 96 appearances for the Madrid powerhouse, the wonderkid scored only 25 goals. Felix had an unsuccessful second half of last season on loan at Chelsea with 4 goals in 16 games. Barca make progress in Cancelo move Diario Sport Reliability: 4 There is no sign that Joao Cancelo’s departure from Man City to Barcelona eventually gets scrapped. Moreover, the move will be officially announced today. The complexity of the whole deal only lies in La Liga's requirements for signing and registering players, meaning that the official announcement was delayed solely to ensure all the paperwork was done correctly and that Barca would be given the green light for the signing. The buyout option will not be included as it does not fit with the FFP rules. Nevertheless, the following verbal agreement was reached between the clubs: Barca will be able to acquire the Portuguese defender in the summer of 2024. Bayern intensifying negotiations for Palhinha Fabrizio Romano Reliability: 5 Fulham star Joao Palhinha is most likely to become a Bayern Munich representative! Soon after offloading Gravenberch, Bayern have been making more substantial steps in negotiations regarding the Portugal defensive midfielder. Die Roten’s first offer valued at 55 million pounds was rejected, as the ‘Cottagers’ demanded 70. Later on, however, the clubs have eventually found common ground on the matter. As of this moment, the deal depends on whether Fulham can quickly find a replacement for their stellar performer, who himself has requested to be put up on a transfer list. Mbappe transfer saga: no Real Madrid move this summer! Relevo Reliability: 4 Kylian Mbappe did not consider a transfer to Real Madrid this summer. He always wanted to finish the 2023/24 season at PSG, and then to look for a new club in the summer of 2024. Even if Los Blancos decide to make a bid on the last day of the window, Kylian is likely to turn it down. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has confirmed that Mbappe remains at the club: "We have had very good discussions with Kylian, he's a magnificent player, as a person and as a professional.We've had discussions with the rest of his family. New deal? I don’t want to talk about that. Mbappé is PSG player."
