Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Man Utd make last-minute £95m Griezmann move

Southampton have signed 20-year-old Mali international Moussa Djenepo on a four-year deal from Standard Liege for a reported fee of £14 million (€15.7m). Left-winger Djenepo, who has seven goals in eight appearances&nbsp;for Mali, impressed for Standard with 11 goals and six assists in all competitions last season. Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl said on the club's <a href="https://southamptonfc.com/news/2019-06-13/announcement-southampton-football-club-sign-moussa-djenepo-standard-liege" target="_blank">official site</a>:&nbsp;“He is an exciting player, with tremendous pace and good finishing abilities, who we have watched closely for some time." The Saints announced the signing in typically unusual fashion on <a href="https://twitter.com/SouthamptonFC/status/1139140270614822912" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, with a short video showing Djenepo riding the 'Ralph Express'.

Arsenal captain Laurent Koscielny could have played his final game for the club with <a href="https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/sport/fussball/fussball/bvb-mandzukic-koscielny-guendogan-das-ist-dran-an-den-heissesten-geruechten-62591092,view=conversionToLogin.bild.html" target="_blank">BILD</a> reporting that Borussia Dortmund want to bring him in.&nbsp; Koscielny, 33, has made more than 350 appearances for the Gunners since joining from Lorient in 2010, but may be looking for a new challenge as Unai Emery's rebuilding job continues. Bayer Leverkusen, AC Milan and Monaco have also been linked with a move for the France international.

Arsenal are close to finalising a deal for 21-year-old German goalkeeper Markus Schubert, according to the <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/arsenal-transfer-news-deal-markus-schubert-goalkeeper-latest-updates-a8956751.html" target="_blank">Independent</a>.&nbsp; The youngster, currently at Dynamo Dresden, is highly rated as a modern goalkeeper but is available on a free transfer this summer. The Gunners are already looking at sourcing a loan move for Schubert, either in the Championship or back in Germany.

Wolves have had an enquiry over the availability of James Tarkowski turned down by Burnley, according to <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/wolves-make-enquiry-for-burnleys-james-tarkowski-czpms8hvt" target="_blank">The Times</a>. England international Tarkowski, 26, is a wanted man this summer and he could fit in well in Nuno Espirito Santo's three-at-the-back system. However, Burnley are in no rush to sell one of their key players, who still has three years left to run on his contract at Turf Moor.

Manchester United will attempt to hijack Antoine Griezmann's long-awaited transfer to Barcelona, claims <a href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9282967/man-utd-transfer-news-antoine-griezmann-hijack-95m-barcelona/" target="_blank">The&nbsp;</a><a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9282967/man-utd-transfer-news-antoine-griezmann-hijack-95m-barcelona/" target="_blank">Sun</a>.&nbsp; The Reds hope to take advantage of Barca's delaying in making the move official with their own approach, which could total more than&nbsp;£95 million ($120m).&nbsp; PSG are also watching intently at the lack of activity around the Atletico Madrid favourite.

Adrien Rabiot could still stay at Paris Saint-Germain, says the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/adrien-rabiot-open-shock-transfer-16515346" target="_blank">Mirror</a>. The midfielder barely featured for the Ligue 1 club last season after refusing to sign a new contract. And he has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, but reportedly could stay at Parc des Princes if Thomas Tuchel leaves.

The 21-year-old is thought to favour a move to Old Trafford but the Eagles are under no pressure to sell him.

Chelsea&nbsp;loanee Tiemoue Bakayoko has revealed his burning ambition to play for&nbsp;Paris Saint-Germain, with a return to Stamford Bridge on the cards this summer. The&nbsp;France&nbsp;international signed for the Blues from&nbsp;Monaco&nbsp;in 2017 but failed to live up to expectations during his first season in&nbsp;the Premier League. The 24-year-old was shipped out on a season-long loan to&nbsp;AC Milan&nbsp;last summer and he racked up 31&nbsp;Serie A&nbsp;appearances in total despite enduring a fractious relationship with now-departed head coach Gennaro Gattuso.

Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move for Rakitic, with Juan Mata seemingly likely to be leaving Old Trafford this summer.

22-year-old Cagliari and Italy midfielder Nicolo Barella has his heart set on a move to Inter, according to the <a href="https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/calcio-mercato/2019/06/13-57941640/inter_barella_ha_deciso_sara_nerazzurro/" target="_blank">Corriere dello Sport</a>. Milan, Roma and Napoli have all been linked with the dynamic midfielder, but the appointment of Antonio Conte as manager apparently confirmed Inter as his destination of choice. Barella has made over 100 league appearances since his debut in 2015, and has seven Italy caps to his name.

Real Madrid's massive summer outlay could see a surprise departure from the Bernabeu, with Cadena SER linking Marco Asensio with a move away from the club. The signings of Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic and Ferland Mendy mean some players will have to leave to balance the books, and a big offer for Asensio could tempt Madrid as he is not one of Zinedine Zidane's key men. However, it is reported that a club may have to pay €100 million (£88.9m) to convince Madrid to let the 23-year-old go.

Inter midfielder Radja Nainggolan says he is happy in Milan and isn't thinking of a move away from the club. Speaking to Sky Sport 24, he said: "Inter? I'm happy in Milan, I have a contract and I'm not thinking of anything else but this club." The 31-year-old signed from Roma last year, scoring seven goals in 36&nbsp;appearances in his debut season.

Cagliari are looking to improve their attacking options with a swoop for Roma striker Gregoire Defrel, according to the <a href="https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/calcio-mercato/2019/06/13-57943529/cagliari_idea_defrel_per_il_tandem_con_pavoletti/" target="_blank">Corriere dello Sport</a>. The Frenchman spent last year on loan at Sampdoria and is not thought to be in the first-team picture at Roma despite scoring 11 goals in 36 Serie A appearances. With Sampdoria looking at other options, Cagliari may be best positioned to secure his signature early in the window.

Goalkeeping legend Iker Casillas has denied reports claiming he is set to announce his retirement from the game. Speculation has surrounded the Porto keeper after he suffered a heart attack early last month. But, amid fresh rumours of his retirement, Casillas <a href="https://twitter.com/IkerCasillas/status/1139092747665793024" target="_blank">tweeted</a> that no such decision has been made, and that he will have a meeting with his doctor on Friday.

Slaven Bilic has been confirmed as the new manager of West Brom. Bilic, formerly of West Ham, is expected to sign a two-year deal at the Hawthorns, with promotion to the Championship clearly the priority.

Manchester United will not be deterred in their pursuit of Harry Maguire despite Leicester City's £80 million asking price, say <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/3874833/sources-united-not-put-off-by-80m-maguire-price" target="_blank">ESPN</a>. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is to be backed in the transfer window as he attempts to turn around United's miserable fortunes, but Leicester are fully aware of their desparation. Maguire, 26, signed a new long-term contract with the Foxes in October and they are under no pressure to sell for anything less than a huge fee.

AC Milan are moving closer to announcing the capture of Sampdoria manager Marco Giampaolo, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/DiMarzio/status/1139130127906988033" target="_blank">DiMarzio</a>. The 51-year-old is reportedly in Milan today to agree final terms on the contract at San Siro, where he will replace Gennaro Gattuso as manager. Despite his Sampdoria side finishing 15 points behind Milan in the season just gone, Giampaolo looks set for what is undoubtedly the biggest job of his 19-year career to date.

32-year-old left-back Stefan Radu has been told by Lazio that he can find a new club, according to <a href="https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/calcio-mercato/2019/06/13-57937581/radu_alla_lazio_non_c_pi_posto_pu_andare_via_gratis/" target="_blank">Corriere dello Sport</a>. Having joined the club in 2008, the Romania international has captained Lazio and made almost 350 appearances for his side. But despite being under contract until 2021&nbsp;Lazio are keen to freshen up their starting eleven, meaning Radu will be made available for free.

Nemanja Matic's younger brother Uros Matic has completed a move to Cypriot champions APOEL. Matic, 29, joins on an initial loan deal with a view to buy from parent club FC Copenhagen.

36-year-old Franck Ribery is looking for a new club this summer, and <a href="https://www.kicker.de/fussball/transfermarkt" target="_blank">kicker</a> are linking newly-promoted Sheffield United with a move.

Sensi and Milan have already been in touch over a five-year contract at San Siro, though the transfer fee may prove a sticking point. While Milan are prepared to offer €20 million (£17.8m), Sassuolo want €35 million (£31.1m), and may ask for striker Patrick Cutrone as part of the deal.

The Frenchman had been close to a move to Anfield last summer, but a failed medical ended hopes of a €50 million (£44.5m) switch. Now, Liverpool are reported to be back in for him - but are only willing to pay €30 million (£26.7m) this time around.

The 18-year-old could complete a switch for around €30 million ($34m, £27m), before being sent back to&nbsp;Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on loan next season. Saliba racked up 16 appearances in Ligue 1 last term and already has three caps to his name for the France U-19 national side.

The Real Madrid midfielder spent last season on loan at Stamford Bridge but is due to return to Santiago Bernabeu this summer. Kovacic is likely to be shipped out on loan again, with a return to former club Inter Milan reportedly on the cards.

However, a deal is still some way off, with Real Madrid asking for what would be a record transfer fee for Napoli - €42 million (£37m). Rodriguez is thought to be surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu despite requesting that his two-year loan spell at Bayern Munich not be made permanent.&nbsp;

Manchester United will look to push through a move for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes regardless of whether they sell Paul Pogba, according to <a href="https://www.ojogo.pt/futebol/1a-liga/sporting/noticias/interior/bruno-fernandes-ja-nao-depende-de-pogba-o-que-leva-o-united-a-avancar-pelo-medio-11003583.html" target="_blank">O Jogo</a>. Sporting are looking for €70 million (£62m) for the Portugal international, who has also been linked with Liverpool. With Ander Herrera leaving Old Trafford and Juan Mata likely to follow, United are on the hunt for midfield reinforcements and Fernandes is thought to be one of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's top priorities.

A number of the top clubs have been linked with the 22-year-old, who some fans have touted as already being better than Liverpool's Andy Robertson. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/real-madrid-confirm-48-million-mendy-transfer/1cigsg1dufgtr11gveoicp56hn" target="_blank">Having sold Mendy to Real Madrid</a> for&nbsp;an initial&nbsp;€48 million (£42.7m/$54m), Lyon could be willing to outbid their transfer rivals in order to source a replacement.

De Ligt's agent Mino Raiola is reported to have spoken to PSG director Antero Henrique, though <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/fake-news-raiola-denies-finalising-psg-move-for-de-ligt/1e47c8xehvoh91xrtl0ljkefda" target="_blank">Raiola has dismissed this as 'fake news'</a>.

Celtic are rivalling clubs from England and Germany Christopher Jullien, according to the <a href="https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/christopher-jullien-10m-celtic-transfer-16509390?_ga=2.261370191.33516159.1560408117-738876663.1525472290" target="_blank">Daily Record</a>. The Scottish treble winners are looking to replace&nbsp;Dedryck Boyata, and 6'5" Frenchman Jullien ticks all of Neil Lennon's boxes.

Gareth Bale's huge wage demands mean he is unlikely to be leaving Real Madrid this summer, according to the <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/gareth-bale-finds-nowhere-to-turn-for-his-100m-wage-tjl6nd6w9?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Twitter" target="_blank">Times</a>. The Welshman has cut a forlorn figure at the Bernabeu for some time but is thought to be happy with life in the Spanish capital. It seems increasingly likely that he will only leave the club if Madrid pay to get him out, having already spent a huge outlay on the transfers of Eden Hazard, Ferland Mendy, Luka Jovic and Eder Militao.

Former Crystal Palace favourite John Salako says Aaron Wan-Bissaka should stay at the club for at least another season to aid his development. He told <a href="https://www.lovesportradio.com/news/love-sport-exclusives/wilfried-zaha-will-be-an-even-better-player-when-he-leaves-crystal-palace-salako/" target="_blank">Love Sport Radio</a> that he thinks it is too soon for a big move for the right-back, who enjoyed a breakthrough season last campaign. "It's too early for Aaron. He needs another season," he said.&nbsp; "You remember with Walcott and those types of players who came through at Southampton - even Bale or Oxlade-Chamblerlain - they came early and it took them years to find their feet."

Boca Juniors are willing to offer 23-year-old Argentina winger Cristian Pavon in a deal to sign Eduardo Salvio from Benfica, according to <a href="https://www.tycsports.com/boca-juniors/cristian-pavon-la-llave-para-la-llegada-de-eduardo-salvio-20190612.html" target="_blank">TYC Sports</a>. Salvio, 28, has clocked up over 250 appearances for Benfica since 2010, though it is thought he is not yet ready to return to his home country. However&nbsp;if Boca are unsuccessful in such a deal, Pavon could still make the step to Portugal, with Porto interested in his services.
