ETH wants Martinez by Friday

Manchester United remain firmly in the hunt to sign Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez this summer and a deal could potentially be edging ever closer after they launched an improved £40 million bid, as per The Sun, despite going neck-and-neck with Arsenal for a deal.

As a result of United's progress with completing the transfer, manager Erik ten Hag has now told club chiefs that he wants a deal wrapped up for the Argentine 'by Friday', as he sets a deadline to get things sorted ahead of his side's pre-season tour to Thailand.

Ten Hag has used Friday's departure as an ideal timeline for completed transfers according to De Telegraaf, with the Dutchman keen to reignite with his former play who won Ajax's Player of the Season award as they won the Eredivisie title together.

Gunners pursue Milinkovic-Savic

Arsenal are continuing their pursuit of further midfield additions this summer and according to the latest report from Italian outlet ilmessaggero.it, the Gunners have submitted an offer for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

The report claims that the offer is thought to be worth around €55 million (£47 million), although this is £13 million less than what the Serie A side want, who remain desperate to retain his services ahead of the upcoming season.

Liverpool's Bellingham stance

Liverpool are expected to pursue Jude Bellingham next summer as they look to bolster their midfield options in 12 months time, and Borussia Dortmund have since named their price tag for the 19-year-old as other clubs begin to circle.

The German outfit revealed that they have slapped a €120 million (£103 million) value on the England international's head, but according to The Athletic, the transfer fee is 'unlikely' to put Liverpool off a deal, as they plan on acquiring their long-term target.

07:27KEY EVENT

Chelsea not on same page over Ronaldo

Chelsea are certainly not in agreement over a move for Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Sun understands that whilst new owner Todd Boehly sees the No 7 as a great marquee signing, Thomas Tuchel is not on the same page.

The German believes the club should focus on other transfer priorities and it would be a surprise were he to change his stance.
