LIVE Transfer Talk: Barcelona could subsidise Coutinho's wages for loan deal

19.07 BST: If AS Roma are unsuccessful in their attempts to lure Chelsea forward Tammy Abraham to Serie A, the Giallorossi will turn their attentions to Leicester City front man Kelechi Iheanacho, according to Sky Sports. Whether Jose Mourinho & Co. will have more luck doing business in the East Midlands remains to be seen, with the 24-year-old Nigeria international penning a new contract with the Foxes in April that runs until 2024.

18.30 BST: Gazzetta dello Sport writes that with injury keeping Sergio Ramos out of action for another month, Paris Saint-Germain could move to recruit Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly. The 30-year-old Senegal international has two years remaining on his contract, and while the Partenopei would want a transfer fee of €50m to sanction the departure of their star defender, the report suggests that an offer even below that amount could tempt Luciano Spalletti.

17.53 BST: Amid news that AS Roma have begun courting Tammy Abraham to move to the Italian capital rather than across London to join Arsenal, Le10 Sport reports that Chelsea are demanding €50m for the right to sign the 23-year-old forward. The story suggests that the Giallorossi have so far offered €45m, but that the Gunners have yet to respond with a bid of their own.

17.16 BST: Every player at Paris Saint-Germain not named Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Marquinhos, Marco Verratti, Angel Di Maria or Lionel Messi is available for transfer, according to L'Equipe. The French capital club were said to have needed to raise €180m through player departures this summer, but Mitchel Bakker is the only to have left the club for a transfer fee. With 19 days left in the window, time is running out for Les Parisiens to balance the books.

16.39 BST: ESPN Deportes is reporting that striker Santiago Munoz is on the verge of signing for Newcastle United. Yep, he sounds remarkably like another star striker, Santiago Munez, who played for Newcastle in the film franchise "Goal."

ESPN sources say that Munoz, who plays for Liga MX club Santos Laguna, is expected to reach full agreement in the next few hours, and could be unveiled on Saturday -- which also happens to be his 19th birthday.

He was part of the Mexico team which finished runners-up to Brazil at the Under-17 World Cup, and was also being chased by Spanish club Huesca.

Unfortunately goalkeeper Karl Darlow already has Munez's "famous" No. 26 shirt from the film, so Munoz will just have to pick another one.

16.00 BST: Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that the club are still waiting for Raphael Varane to complete his move from Real Madrid, two weeks after the agreement was announced. It means the 28-year-old will be unavailable for the Premier League opener against Leeds United on Saturday.

"He has not trained with us," Solskjaer told a news conference on Friday. "Things happen and things take time and unfortunately the isolation has delayed these things. It's not 100% done and I can say he probably won't be [available against Leeds] because he has not trained with us.

"It always happens that there are little things. The big hold up was the isolation and quarantine. He has been in Manchester now and hopefully it'll be done soon."

15.14 BST: Tottenham Hotspur have already completed the signing of defender Cristian Romero from Atalanta on an initial loan with an option to make the deal permanently next summer, and now reports in Spain and England hint they will make a move for Pau Torres.

Pau Torres, 24, has had a non-stop summer after being part of the Spain squad which reached the semifinals of Euro 2020, before winning a silver medal at the Olympic soccer tournament. His performances placed him on the watch list of several top clubs, and Spanish journalist Veronica Brunati tweeted on Thursday that Spurs were one of those teams.

#ManCity prepara una oferta de 150 millones de euros por Harry Kane. El jugador se quiere marchar. #Tottenham a su vez trabaja en la contratación de Pau Torres, defensa del Villarreal.

Now The Times has confirmed that report, saying that the centre-back, who has a £55m release clause in his contract, is wanted by Spurs coach Nuno Espirito Santo. Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United have also tracked the Villarreal star, part of the team that beat Man United on penalties in the Europa League final. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy hopes to be able to do a deal at a price lower than £55m.

14.30 BST: Atletico Madrid would be keen to sign Lorenzo Insigne on a free transfer next year if the Italy international fails to renew his contract at Napoli, according to Diario AS.

The newspaper reports that the forward's relationship with the Serie A club's owner Aurelio de Laurentiis is "more tense all the time" and there is little chance of a new deal to keep him there beyond 2022. AS claims that Napoli have made it known that they would accept €25m for Insigne this summer.

A number of clubs have been linked with the 30-year-old in recent days, with Everton the latest to join Spurs, Inter Milan and Zenit Saint Petersburg in the race to sign him, according to reports in Italy.

13.48 BST: Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has had a little dig at Manchester United's transfer business on the eve of the new season. United have paid the £73m it took to seal the signing of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund, while they have agreed a fee around £34m with Real Madrid for Raphael Varane.

Klopp has also only signed one player, triggering the £36m clause in Ibrahima Konate's contract at RB Leipzig.

"We all know the situation of Chelsea and City and PSG. What United are doing, I don't know how they did it," Klopp said. "We have our own way to do it. We are allowed to spend the money we earn, that we always did. This year we spent before we earned money with [Ibrahima] Konate because after last season, just to be clear, we cannot take any risk in this position at all.

"I'm never surprised about the financial power of Chelsea, City or United, I've been here long enough to know they always find a solution to these things."
