Summer transfer window: Likely deals and biggest rumours

The summer transfer window rumour mill is already spinning furiously as teams up and down the country try and get their business done early.

Liverpool completed the signing of Mohamed Salah in a £34.3m move from Roma, as Jurgen Klopp now turns his attention to the rest of his seven new targets in total.

Cristiano Ronaldo has thrown a cat amongst the transfer pigeons with Manchester United the frontrunners for his signature, as they usually are, but they have other targets, with Alvaro Morata, Ivan Perisic and Andrea Belotti all wanted to follow Victor Lindelof into the club.

Manchester City are the summer’s early pace setters when it comes to new signings, as Bernardo Silva and Ederson have both already joined the club.

Everton are the other big spenders so far in the window, signing Jordan Pickford from Sunderland for £30m while Ajax's Davy Klaassen for £23.6m.

We will have all the latest throughout the day here so don't touch that dial.

Another signing for United... but not the on-pitch sort.

Juventus scouting manager Javier Ribalta is set for a move to the club, reports suggest.

It is understood Ribalta will work alongside chief scouts Jim Lawlor and Marcel Bout at Old Trafford.

Juventus confirmed their scouting manager was departing on Friday morning to "take on a new professional adventure elsewhere".

Ribalta told the Juventus' official website: "It has been a wonderful few years here.

"My thanks go to all involved with the club, particularly Giuseppe Marotta and Fabio Paratici for the faith they have shown in me since day one.

"I will look back on my time at Juventus with great pleasure."

Another done deal!  

Mauricio Pellegrino has been appointed as the new Southampton manager on a three-year deal.

Despite guiding Saints to eighth in the Premier League and the EFL Cup final in his first season, frustrations behind the scenes and in the stands led to Claude Puel's sacking last week.

Southampton have acted quickly to name his successor, with former Alaves boss Pellegrino penning a contract at St Mary's.
