According to Football Transfers, Harry Kane has made a decision to join Manchester United instead of Real Madrid or Chelsea. If he is not sold this summer, the Tottenham striker is apparently willing to leave for the Red Devils on a free transfer in 2024. However, Marca reports that Real Madrid are still eager to sign Kane and are working hard to persuade Spurs to sell them the player for £68m so that he doesn't join a Premier League rival. If they fail to land Kane, the Spanish giants are said to be ready to use Rodrygo as their central striker next season and then make a move for Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer in 2024, according to COPE.

Chelsea's offer of €100m for Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde has already been rejected. But Defensa Central reports that the Premier League club has submitted an improved offer of €120m along with a further €20m in add-ons.

Liverpool has reportedly agreed on personal terms with Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram. The Premier League club is expected to make a formal bid, with L'Equipe revealing that the offer may be valued around £35m.

Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly joined the race for Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan as he approaches the end of his contract. However, L'Equipe also reports that the player has reached an agreement with Barcelona over a three-year contract which would fit within the club's budget. The deal is expected to be confirmed after the Champions League final.

In other news, Arsenal has made an initial offer of £12m to Galatasaray for right-back Sacha Boey, but it was rejected, with the Turkish side aiming for £5m more, according to Hurriyet. With West Ham set to cash-in on Declan Rice, the club is reportedly looking to reinvest in Fulham's Joao Palhinha, Southampton's James Ward-Prowse, and Manchester City's Kalvin Phillips, according to the Mail.

Zinedine Zidane has reportedly declined an approach from Paris Saint-Germain to become their new manager. Le Parisien reports that the French side is preparing to dismiss Christophe Galtier.

After his departure from Real Madrid, it is believed that Eden Hazard will continue playing. Some reports suggest a move to Major League Soccer may be a possibility.
