Transfer news LIVE: Man United finally agree £50m Manuel Ugarte deal as Liverpool linked with Federico Chiesa

Liverpool look likely to send out a couple more young players on loan before deadline day and one of the more notable ones would be Tyler Morton departing.

He has been linked with a permanent move too but Bayer Leverkusen apparently want him on loan – a huge opportunity to work with Xabi Alonso, if so, for the playmaking midfielder.

Sky report it could be a straight loan deal – Morton is one of the few players at the club capable of playing the holding midfield role, where Ryan Gravenberch has been stationed after they missed out on Martin Zubimendi.

Meanwhile Blackburn have agreed a loan deal for Reds left-back Owen Beck, who was also wanted by Celtic and QPR.

Here’s the latest on a few ongoing deals we know are, or could be, in the works:

• Chelsea’s Tino Anjorin is in Italy to have a medical at Empoli over a permanent transfer
• QPR made a loan bid for Scottish defender Max Johnston who plays for Sturm Graz, but now Reims want him too after his international call-up
• Celtic have offered £5m for Auston Trusty, who is at Sheffield United – he joined for the same fee from Arsenal last year
• Ajax want Wout Weghorst and are hoping to sign him from Burnley this week
• Gustaf Lagerbielke has left Celtic for Twente on loan
• Ameen Al-Dakhil is likely off to Stuttgart after Burnley accepted a £6.5m offer for the defender

Sky Sports News are reporting that Brentford have rejected a £15m bid for striker Yoane Wissa from Nottingham Forest.

The Bees want to keep the 27-year-old forward who has started the season strongly especially with the possibility that Ivan Toney, who has not played for Brentford yet this season, may move away from the club before the end of the transfer window.

Wolves are also keeping an eye on the situation as they hope to bring in more reinforcements but it seems as though any move for Wissa will be difficult to get over the line.

Armando Broja was due to join Ipswich this week but his medical revealed a potential problem.

Kieran McKenna has confirmed though that they are still in talks with Chelsea over the possible loan-to-buy deal which was pinned at £30m.

That would only be executed if Ipswich stayed up this season and clearly they see him as a key component of achieving that – still time for that deal to be resurrected, though perhaps the terms will change now.

Manchester United are close to landing their main midfield target this summer after agreeing a £50.7m deal with Paris Saint-Germain for Manuel Ugarte.

The FA Cup winners will pay an initial €50m for the 23-year-old, with a possible extra €10m in add-ons, and he will undergo a medical.

Ugarte’s arrival will take their summer spending to around £200m after buying centre-backs Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt, full-back Noussair Mazraoui and forward Joshua Zirkzee.

More on United’s summer chase from Rich Jolly:

Eddie Howe has been asked this morning about Newcastle signing a right-back and centre-back before the deadline and whether or not it’s likely:

“Probably not, no. I can understand the questions, but there’s always a level of respect that needs to be shown to the existing members of your squad,” he said.

“I respect every player we have in every position, so it’s not for me to answer. We’re trying to strengthen the group and make the right decisions and bring the right players in.”

We mentioned earlier that Forest had been knocked back for Santiago Gimenez and that Eddie Nketiah might be Crystal Palace-bound – now the Tricky Trees have come in with a new offer for a third striker target.

Brentford’s Yoane Wissa is the man they seemingly want now, with Wolves also keen say Sky Sports – but it’s Forest who have put in a £25m bid.

No response reported as of yet – meanwhile Forest winger Josh Bowler is set to head to Preston in the Championship. No confirmation if that’s a loan or permanent.

Just what Chelsea needed – another goalkeeper! Mike Penders is in, signing from Genk and agreeing a deal through to 2032 – although he won’t officially join until next summer.

Regardless, the Blues have confirmed his impending arrival, with the 19-year-old staying in Belgium this term.

Raheem Sterling wants talks with the Chelsea hierarchy over his contract situation before opening transfer discussions with any other club, reports the Telegraph.

His £300,000 a week deal guarantees him £40m over the three years left on his Chelsea deal, and he wants clarification on the Blues making up the difference if he moves on a lower salary elsewhere.

Manchester United are said to be interested and he “would consider” a move to Old Trafford, but swift talks would need to take place given the transfer window shuts this week.

Chelsea are keen on a swap deal involving Sterling and Man United’s out-of-favour winger Jadon Sancho, but there is no firm offer from United for the squad number-less Sterling at this point.

Nayef Aguerd has turned down the chance to move to an “unnamed club” in the German Bundesliga on loan.

The Moroccan is not in favour under Julen Lopetegui after the arrivals of Max Kilman and Jean-Clair Todibo, but his big wages after signing for £28m two years ago is making him tough to shift. An offer from Saudi Arabia remains an option, the Guardian reports.

Kurt Zouma is also still set to move to the Saudi Pro League, while Max Cornet is available for sale but similarly has few takers due to the Hammers paying him big wages.
