Open Extended Reactions
The summer transfer window is open! Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: If Man United offload Wan-Bissaka, then Mazraoui, De Ligt or Dumfries could arrive
Manchester United and Inter Milan have been offered a swap deal through intermediaries that would see Inter winger Denzel Dumfries join the English side as right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka would go to Milan, Fabrizio Romano reports. AS Monaco's Vanderson could also be used in a swap deal instead.
If such a deal does take place, Man United are expected to push on with their attempt to sign Bayern Munich right-back Noussair Mazraoui, per the report.
Following Mazraoui's reported unwillingness to move to West Ham, Man United have emerged as clear favourites to sign him. His agent, Rafaela Pimenta, is also in talks with United over another Bayern star: center-back Matthijs de Ligt.
De Ligt's move to Old Trafford looked to have been put on hold after the club signed Leny Yoro, but with talks seemingly ongoing, all hope is not lost for United manager Erik ten Hag in his bid to be reunited with his former Ajax captain.

- West Ham have also turned their attention towards Wan-Bissaka after the club failed to agree a deal with Mazraoui, according to Florian Plettenberg. While no agreement has been reached between the two clubs, fresh talks are expected to take place over the next 48 hours.
- Chelsea remain in talks with Villarreal over signing of goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen, according to Sky Sports News. He is now Chelsea's main target as they look for a new shot-stopper to compete with Robert Sánchez, leaving Djordje Petrovic's future uncertain. Leicester City goalkeeper Mads Hermansen was Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca's top target, but the newly-promoted Leicester's $51 million valuation priced Chelsea out of a move.

As such, Atalanta have been pushing to try and sign the 23-year-old, but the club's third offer of €17 million ($18.5m) still wasn't enough to convince Celtic.
