We are just over a week away from the close of the transfer window and the majority of deals concern Manchester United.

Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho could leave Old Trafford this month, after being dropped by Ruben Amorim, with Garnacho attracting interest from Napoli and Chelsea.

The Italian club reportedly held a meeting with the Red Devils earlier this week, as they look to find a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, with United looking to strengthen their Financial Fair Play stance.

Rashford has fewer viable suitors but could still leave on loan, with Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund among the interested parties, and his saga could drag on into the final days of the window.

Arsenal are still looking for attacking reinforcements following injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, while Tottenham are keen to increase their numbers following a series of injuries to Ange Postecoglou's side.

Matheus Cunha has put potential suitors on alert after Wolves boss Vitor Pereira publicly criticized his body language, with United and Arsenal saying they are interested, while Manchester City hope to complete their third signing of the month via Omar Marmoush.

For all the latest news, rumors and updates throughout the transfer window, follow below…

Leroy Sané speaks about his interest

Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sané has revealed that there is interest in a transfer, but he is only focusing on his current season.

Sané's contract expires at the end of the season, but a decision on his future is unlikely to be made before the end of the campaign.

“Of course, clubs have already inquired about my situation. But everyone knows my position,” Sane told BILD.

“I won't think about it at the moment, but I will focus on FC Bayern and try to have as much success as possible with the team.”

Verdict on Marcus Rashford's Barcelona encounter

Barcelona sporting director Deco has provided insight into Marcus Rashford's planned move to Spain.

The La Liga giants have held a meeting regarding Rashford, who they have been linked with in a possible loan move.

“We are talking about [financial] fair play,” Deco told Movistar. “By arranging this, if in the end we can strengthen the team, we will try, but today there is nothing.

“These are questions of fair play, and the priorities today are the renewal of the important players we have in the team. Once that is finished, we can focus on this or that reinforcement, but that is not not something the coach asked us.

Chelsea considering Dusan Vlahovic swap

Chelsea are reportedly looking to bring Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic to Stamford Bridge, in what could become a swap deal.

The Mirror claims the £66m-rated star is of interest to Chelsea and Juventus are ready to sell.

If Christopher Nkunku and/or Joao Felix leave Chelsea this month, the possibility of signing Vlahovic will only grow.

And to lower the asking price, Chelsea could offer Renato Veiga as part of the deal, with Juventus interested in the runaway defender.
