Inter Milan have put forward a player exchange proposal that would see forward Mehdi Taremi move to Manchester United in return for Rasmus Højlund, as reported by United In Focus. However, the Red Devils quickly responded that they will only consider permanent transfers involving cash payments.
Sporting CP's striker Viktor Gyökeres has personally communicated to Man Utd his eagerness to make the switch to Old Trafford this summer, reports TEAMtalk. Player departures will probably be necessary before any official offer can be submitted, especially with Bryan Mbeumo close to completing his move.
A separate TEAMtalk report identifies Paris Saint-Germain's midfielder Warren Zaïre-Emery as a high-profile target for Man Utd. PSG are requesting an enormous €100 million (£85.3 million, $116.5 million) fee to release the 19-year-old talent.

Arsenal's sporting director Andrea Berta is pursuing a transfer for Inter's midfielder Carlos Augusto, according to FCInterNews. Berta monitored the player during his time at Atlético Madrid and has maintained his interest since joining the Emirates.
West Ham United are targeting Chelsea's goalkeeper Robert Sánchez, reports Football Insider. The Hammers have been rejected in their pursuit of Southampton's Aaron Ramsdale.
Following Lyon's forced demotion to Ligue 1, forward Georges Mikautadze is becoming a potential target for Tottenham Hotspur, according to TuttoJuve. Juventus are also contemplating a competing bid.
Newcastle United are making efforts to acquire Man Utd's forward Marcus Rashford, states CaughtOffside. The English player would favor a transfer to Barcelona but might not have that opportunity.
Beşiktaş have conducted discussions with Chelsea's winger Raheem Sterling regarding a surprising transfer, reports Turkish-Football. Early conversations have been encouraging, with the 30-year-old not dismissing such a possibility after his loan spell with Arsenal.
Despite public demands from Atlético Madrid, The Telegraph reports that Tottenham will not be forced to reduce their asking price for center-back Cristian Romero, who is priced at over £60 million ($81.9 million).
Aston Villa are showing interest in acquiring Galatasaray's midfielder Gabriel Sara, according to Foot Mercato. This potential deal is independent of the Turkish club's ambition to sign both goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez and left-back Lucas Digne.
La Liga
Both Rodrygo and Eduardo Camavinga have requested departures from Real Madrid this summer, reports Fichajes. The duo believe their playing time will be reduced under incoming manager Xabi Alonso.
Arsenal would be willing to spend £70 million ($95.5 million) to secure Rodrygo, with TBR Football highlighting the Gunners' readiness to make the 24-year-old among their highest-paid players and utilize him in his preferred left-wing role.
However, Manchester City have rejected speculation linking them with a move for Rodrygo, according to Jack Gaughan.
Barcelona's interest in Man Utd's forward Marcus Rashford is intensifying, claims Joan Fontes. The English striker is desired on a loan arrangement following Nico Williams' arrival.
The partnership between Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé has deteriorated entirely, reports Don Balon.

Should contract negotiations fail, Madrid would support Mbappé and consider selling Vinícius.
