Tuesday's transfer news and rumours: Paul Pogba to Juventus, Luka Jovic to Real Madrid and more
All the transfer news, rumours, gossip and done deals
Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal are all set to be busy but it's Chelsea who are the talk of the transfer rumour mill today as Maurizio Sarri closes in on a move to Juventus, with Watford's Javi Gracia one of the new names in the frame to replace him at Stamford Bridge. Sarri's move is slowing down negotiations between Chelsea and Real Madrid over the transfer of Eden Hazard, but the winger is still expected to have his departure confirmed imminently.
At Manchester United, Paul Pogba is considering a return to Juventus, with his preferred choice of Real Madrid dithering as they focus on sealing the Hazard deal, while Leicester's James Maddison is at the centre of a tug of war with United leading the way.
Meanwhile both Manchester United and City are keen on Benfica's Joao Felix, one of the most highly rated young talents around. We'll also have updates on Liverpool, Arsenal, Barcelona and more from the Premier League and around Europe.

Celtic try to plug leak
Celtic have begun a probe into the leak of a confidential document outlining their summer transfer plans.
Photographs of the report, which details their plans for some contracted players as well as potential targets in each position, have appeared on social media.
The document came from a meeting between chief executive Peter Lawwell, manager Neil Lennon and other coaching and recruitment staff about two months ago.
The club said they were looking into the matter.
Lee Congerton has since left as head of recruitment but the club have yet to appoint a successor.
Lennon spoke about trying to keep transfer business in-house on Friday when he was confirmed as the club's manager after stepping in until the end of the season when Brendan Rodgers left in late February.
He previously admitted his unhappiness about team selections being leaked, adding in April that "someone is letting us down".
Bayern Munich confirm they will not take up the option to buy James Rodriguez from Real Madrid. So what next for the Colombian?
