The PA news agency understands Chelsea will pay an initial £40million for the 21-year-old with an
additional £2.5m in possible add-ons.
United confirmed the signing of Turkey international goalkeeper Altay Bayindir from Fenerbahce before
announcing that Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon had arrived on loan from Tottenham until June 2024.
Bayindir, 25, has signed an initial four-year contract at Old Trafford, with the option of a further year.
He is the second goalkeeper signed by the Red Devils this summer and will provide competition to fellow
new arrival Andre Onana.
“It is a huge honour to join Manchester United and become the first Turkish player to represent this
incredible club,” Bayindir said in the statement announcing his signing.
Reguilon, 26, who has also played for Real Madrid, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, has moved to Old
Trafford after United lost left-backs Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia to injury.
“In life you have to be ready for everything and the chance to represent this great club with such an
illustrious history is one that I could not turn down,” Reguilon told the United website.
“Having spoken to the manager (Erik ten Hag), I know what he needs from me, and I am ready to play
my part in helping the team to achieve success.
“I know that I can contribute to Manchester United this season; I am ready to fight for this group and
show everyone my qualities.”
Japhet Tanganga has also left Tottenham by joining Bundesliga side Augsburg on loan for the remainder
of the 2023/24 season, with a conditional obligation to make the deal permanent next summer.
Aston Villa brought in French defender Clement Lenglet on a season-long loan from Barcelona.
The centre-half spent last season on loan at Spurs, making 35 appearances in all competitions.
Liverpool closing in on another midfield signing as fee is agreed for Ryan Gravenberch
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has embarked on a complete rebuild of his midfield this summer and
now he is set to add the final piece to his jigsaw.
After weeks of speculation linking Liverpool with a move for Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan
Gravenberch, a fee has been agreed worth €40m to bring the Dutch international to Anfield.
Gravenberch has been on the fringes of the Bayern first team over the last couple of seasons, with
Manchester United also believed to be tracking the talented 21-year-old.
Yet sources close to Gravenberch have suggested Liverpool was always his first-choice destination, with
Klopp set to unveil a third midfield signing this summer.
After Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister made a bright start to this season following their
summer moves to Liverpool, Gravenberch is set to add another youthful option to Klopp’s plan as he
arrives ahead of Friday’s transfer deadline.
Gravenberch started just three games for Bayern in the Bundesliga last season and he made his one
appearance this season as a late substitute in a 3-1 win against Augsburg on Sunday.
Manchester City sign Matheus Nunes from Wolves for £53million
Manchester City have signed Wolves midfielder Matheus Nunes on a five-year deal.
After overcoming some minor sticking points in final negotiations over an initial £47.3m deal on
Wednesday night, both clubs were
e able to come to an agreement on a £53million move – a club-record sale for Wolves.
Nunes became Wolves’ record signing when he joined from Sporting Lisbon for an initial £38m last
summer on a five-year contract with the option of a further 12 months.
However, the 25-year-old Portugal international was keen to move to the Etihad Stadium and did not
train with Wolves in order to push the move through.
Nunes told the club’s official website: “I’m so happy to be joining Manchester City, the champions of
Europe and a club I’ve admired for a long time.
“The opportunity to work under Pep Guardiola, one of the greatest managers ever, and alongside some of
the best players in the world was something I couldn’t turn down.
“I’ve learned so much during my season at Wolves and I’m excited to continue improving in the Premier
League, a division which brings the best out of me.
“I’m really excited to get going, meet the fans and hopefully be a part of plenty more success at City.”
Midfielder Tommy Doyle, 21, heads the other way, joining the Molineux club on a season-long loan with
the option to make the switch permanent next summer.
