Manchester United transfer news latest: Matthijs de Ligt, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba

The Red Devils are spending heavily to revamp their squad under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Manchester United have reportedly agreed to meet Ajax's asking price for Matthijs de Ligt as the chase for his signature takes yet another twist.

The Dutch international looked all set to join Juventus but as the move continues to stall United have been buoyed by the opportunity to swoop in and steal him.

Ajax want £67m for their captain and United are more than willing to meet that figure, according to the Daily Express.

It remains to be seen whether De Ligt is willing to agree to a switch to Old Trafford, however.

Meanwhile, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic's agent has flown to England for talks with United over a possible move.

Real Madrid target Paul Pogba looks set to leave with agent Mino Raiola confirming he is currently "in the process" of negotiating a move away.

With that in mind Milinkovic-Savic has been suggested as a possible replacement with Sport Mediaset claiming that United are at the front of any queue to sign him.

Lazio are in no hurry to sell and would want as much as £120m for the Serbian, a figure well within the budget for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should he choose to spend it.

There could be worse news over Real Betis' Giovani Lo Celso, however, with Tottenham apparently edging ahead in the race to sign him.

The Argentine international is firmly on Mauricio Pochettino's radar as he looks to reshape his Champions League finalists.

And Football Insider claim that the club are ready to back their manager with an offer of more than £60m for Lo Celso with a £150,000-a-week contract that could trump United.

Elsewhere, United have been boosted in their attempts to sign Bruno Fernandes.

The Portuguese international is available this summer after starring last season with Sporting ready to cash in on their sought-after midfielder.

A number of clubs including Liverpool and Tottenham are said to also be keen but it is United who the lead the race.

Fernandes has an £88m clause in his current contract but reports in Portugal suggest that Sporting would take far less to complete a deal.

They say club president Frederico Varandas would instead would be ready to sell for £53m which represents a huge step forward in negotiations.

Inter are pushing ahead with plans to sign Romelu Lukaku, who is Antonio Conte's first choice to replace Mauro Icardi, with the Italian ready to ditch the Argentine forward.

As well as Lukaku they also want Nemanja Matic, according to ESPN, with the Serbian midfielder having requested to speak with the club about their plans for him.

Newcastle's Sean Longstaff could be another incoming with Solskjaer particularly keen on the young midfielder, with the Magpies selling Ayoze Perez to Leicester for £30m.

The Daily Star report a deal could be struck as soon as this week with the Magpies valuing the youngster at around £25m.

Harry Maguire could also join him with the Manchester Evening News reporting that rivals Manchester City won't break the bank to sign the England international.

Pep Guardiola is keen but with Leicester City holding out for upwards of £80m, City could leave the way clear for United to seal a deal.
