Transfer news LIVE: Wirtz wants Liverpool as new £109m bid submitted, Arsenal learn Sesko price

Miron Muslic has left Plymouth Argyle to become the new head coach of Schalke 04.

Muslic only spent six months in Devon after replacing Wayne Rooney mid-season, but seemingly stated his desire to remain at the club post-season.

As such, Argyle are disappointed with his departure, having built many of their summer plans around him.

Everton have triggered the option to make Charly Alcaraz a permanent signing for an undisclosed fee.

His loan from Brazilian side Flamengo concludes at the end of next month but the midfielder will now remain on Merseyside with a contract until 2027.

Alcaraz, who has played for Southampton and Juventus, impressed at Goodison during his initial spell, scoring two goals and providing three assists in 16 games.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has become synonymous with the number 66. However, he’ll have to ditch it at Real Madrid, according to the Evening Standard.

This is due to the strict shirt number rules in LaLiga, which means 66 won’t be available to him.

Manchester City are set to submit their opening bid also for Rayan Cherki next week, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The plan is to accelerate a move for Cherki as well as getting a deal for AC Milan’s Tijjani Reijnders sealed in the upcoming days.

Former Everton defender turned Arne Slot assistant Johnny Heitinga has left Liverpool to take up the role as head coach at Ajax.

Al-Hilal are reportedly increasingly confident of landing Bruno Fernandes from Manchester United.

That’s according to The Telegraph, who claims the Saudi Pro League club have held positive talks over the United skipper.

It’s previously been claimed that Al-Hilal are willing to pay £100m to secure his services.

Tottenham have confirmed that they will make Kevin Danso’s loan move permanent from RC Lens.

Fraser Forster, Sergio Reguilon and Alfie Whiteman, meanwhile, are being released when their contracts expire at the end of June.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s loan to Marseille will also become permanent, the club have said, while Timo Werner has returned to RB Leipzig.

Arsenal will have to pay an initial £75m to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, Mail Sport reports.

This comes after it was reported the Gunners had opened talks over a move for the highly-rated striker.

Manchester United will do what they can to keep hold of Bruno Fernandes this summer, but the same cannot be said for Kobbie Mainoo.

Regardless of where the Portuguese ends up, United are open to listen to offers for Mainoo, according to the The i Paper.

Once United’s star prospect, Mainoo has fallen out of favour under Ruben Amorim.

AC Milan have opted not to take up their option to buy Kyle Walker after the Englishman’s six-month loan at the San Siro, according to Fabrizio Romano.

He will return to Man City but will need to find a new club immediately, with the right-back not expected to be on the plane bound for the United States for the Club World Cup.
