Away from the Premier League, David de Gea is in advanced talks with Real Madrid over signing on a free transfer this summer, talkSPORT understands.

The Spaniard has been made a free agent after he was released by Manchester United earlier this summer when his contract expired.

It ended 12 years at Old Trafford where he made 545 appearances for the Red Devils.

But the 32-year-old is now on the brink of signing for Real Madrid on a free transfer, talkSPORT understands.

It comes hours after Thibaut Courtois was ruled out for a lengthy spell after rupturing his ACL in training on Thursday morning.

It had Real scrambling for a replacement with days to go before the new LaLiga campaign begins but it now appears that De Gea is set to finally sign for Los Blancos, eight years after an initial transfer failed.

Harry Kane is flying to Germany for a medical after agreeing to leave Tottenham and join Bayern Munich.

But Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, says the player will honour his contract, which expires in June 2025.

De Laurentiis said: "Osimhen will stay here. He won't leave.

"He's under contract until June 2025, where should he go? Contracts should be respected. We are on the same page with Osimhen since day 1. Don't be worried."

Silva and Mitrovic have both been linked with moves away from Craven Cottage ahead of the start of the new Premier League season this weekend.

Silva, whose side face his former club Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday, said he was "not close" to leaving but conceded Mitrovic had been given a decision to make.

"I will not hide to you that one offer that he received make him to think, to take some type of decision," Silva told a pre-match press conference. "He had a clear offer from a club and a very good offer for him. Of course sometimes it's not easy for them to keep the focus even if you want them to.

"Since he started to work with his teammates on the pitch again he has been the Mitrovic that I know," added the Portuguese, saying the 28-year-old Serbia striker was showing '100 per cent' commitment at the training ground.

As for his own status following a reported approach from a club in Saudi Arabia, Silva added: "I was not close to leaving the club.

"I received some offers to leave. My decision was to stay and I'm really pleased for that. I'm happy here. I want to be in the Premier League and compete in the best and most difficult competition in the world."

Glen Johnson says Moises Caicedo is not worth £100million, with two of his former clubs locked in a bidding war over the Brighton midfielder.

Liverpool have hijacked Chelsea's long pursuit of the 21-year-old, with the Reds reported to have submitted a higher bid closer to the Seagulls' £100m asking price.

But former Reds and Blues star Johnson is surprised by the fee involved for a player who has only spent one year in the Premier League.

"Caicedo is obviously a good player but it's starting to look a little expensive," the former England defender told Compare.bet.

"It's typical, Brighton know they're only going to get one opportunity to sell him, so obviously they're going to try and wait for the best deal possible and maybe hope for another big club to come in with an offer to push the price up.
