Transfer news LIVE: Arsenal ‘agree’ Youri Tielemans terms and Cristiano Ronaldo latest updates


Cristiano Ronaldo responds to reports over Man United meeting

Cristiano Ronaldo met with Manchester United officials earlier this week but there has been no movement since then on a potential exit.

However, the player himself has responded on Instagram to one claim that his agent Jorge Mendes was left “less than positive” about him being allowed to leave, writing:

“Impossible not to talk about me one day. Otherwise the press makes no money. You know that if you don’t lie you can’t get people’s attention. Keep going then one day you’ll get some news right.”

Arsenal ‘agree terms’ with Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans

Arsenal might not be done spending yet despite adding Jesus, Zinchenko, Vieira and Marquinhos to the squad, plus backup keeper Turner.

Youri Tielemans is in their sights, reports Ben Jacobs via football.london, with the report suggesting that personal terms are already agreed between the Gunners and the Belgian midfielder.

A fee of less than £30m is potentially enough to get the deal done as Tielemans is in the final 12 months of his deal and it seems almost certain he will not be extending his stay at the King Power Stadium.

Barcelona agree to sign Chelsea target Jules Kounde from Sevilla for £41.87m

The 23-year-old France international will join the Spanish side for a reported 50million euros (£41.87million) providing he passes a medical and agrees personal terms, which is not expected to be a problem given he has already posed for pictures in Barca clothing.

It is a blow for Chelsea, who were hopeful of bringing the centre-half to Stamford Bridge, but now must look for alternative defensive options.

A statement from Barca read: “FC Barcelona and Sevilla FC have reached an agreement for the transfer of Jules Olivier Kounde, awaiting the player passing a medical and the signing of contracts.”

The deal continues Barca’s spending spree this summer following the captures of Raphina from Leeds and Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.
