It's that time of the year again – the transfer window is now open until September 1 and it's sure to be a busy period as clubs look to make big signings ahead of the new season.

Here are today's latest developments from Simon Jones and the Daily Mail Sport team...

At this stage, Liverpool are unlikely to pursue interest in Paris St Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye.

Talks for the 18-year-old Ivory Coast international have been regarded as little more than exploratory to date.

Talks over a fee for his teammate Barcola, however, remain ongoing.

Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile will have his medical with Napoli on Tuesday ahead of joining on loan.

The Italians are paying a £2.5m loan fee with an option to buy at £23m.

West Ham striker Niclas Fullkrug is ready to take a pay cut to push through his return to former club Werder Bremen.

The striker has been granted permission to travel to Germany ahead of an initial loan move.

The deal includes an option to buy, and Fullkrug is willing to give up part of his salary to help the move happen.

The 33-year-old, who has a contract with West Ham until 2028, is returning to the club where he started his professional career.

He spent last season loan to AC Milan scoring one goal in 20 games.

He cost West Ham £27m from Dortmund in 2024 and scored three goals.

West Ham anticipate a bid from Aston Villia this week for right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka while Marseille have made an approach to take defender Jean-Clair Todibo on loan. 

Liverpool have yet to receive an offer or enquiry from Getafe for midfielder Stefan Bajcetic.

The 21-year-old has one year left on contact and spent part of last season on loan at Las Palmas. 

Madrid-based Getafe have been credited with interest but are yet to make a move.

Liverpool have put midfielder James McConnell’s proposed loan to Preston North End on hold until the end of the window. 

Coventry City have completed the £9million signing of Taiwo Awoniyi from Nottingham Forest.

The Nigeria international was given a send-off at the City Ground during Forest's 2-0 pre-season win over Brest on Sunday.

Awoniyi spent four seasons at Forest, scoring 21 goals in 90 Premier League appearances.

Manchester United forward Ethan Ennis is joining Stockport County.

The 21-year-old has agreed a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee with add ons plus a 50percent sell-on and buy-back clause, while United retain matching rights too.

Ennis joined United's academy in 2021 and was in their FA Youth Cup-winning squad the following year, before being promoted to the Under-21s.

He got his first taste of senior football with a loan to Doncaster Rovers, and last season appeared 46 times as part of a temporary switch to Fleetwood Town, scoring six goals and providing eight assists.

He will link up with another former United academy product James Bailey at Edgeley Park, who secured a contract with Jimmy McNulty's side earlier this summer, following the expiry of his deal at United.

Manchester United midfielder Toby Collyer is wanted by West Brom. 

Ipswich Town have confirmed the signings of winger Julio Enciso and midfielder Abdoul Ouattara from Strasbourg.

Paraguay international Enciso, 22, and Ivorian Ouattara, 20, have both agreed five-year contracts. The combined fee for both players has the potential to reach £47.3m, with both having played for boss Gary O'Neil in France.

Aston Villa have agreed to loan right-back Kosta Nedeljkovic to Rangers with an obligation to buy £3.5m. The Serbian international is set for a medical at Ibrox on Tuesday. 

Celtic also interested in Nedeljkovic but Rangers are favourites.

Brighton are keen on Millwall forward Femi Azeez, as Rangers continue to push for Amario Cozier-Dubbery, after their £7.5m bid was rejected on Monday.

Manchester United have no plans to sell Bruno Fernandes before next month's transfer deadline.

Galatasaray, Atletico Madrid, Juventus and AC Milan, are among the clubs who have been weighing up an offer for the United captain.

It is understood Galatasaray are ready to put forward £42.7million for the 31-year-old but his intention has been to stay and see if he can realise his ambition of leading United to a Premier League title challenge.

Leeds United have given Joel Piroe permission to travel to West Ham for a medical.

The striker is expected to travel this evening ahead of finalising his move to the Championship club.

With AZ Alkmaar digging in their heels over their valuation of Troy Parrott, the Hammers moved for Piroe on a loan deal, with an obligation to buy.

Ipswich have confirmed the signing of versatile 20-year-old Abdoul Ouattara, reuniting him with manager Gary O'Neil.

Daily Mail Sport previously reported how the Tractor Boys have been closing in on a deal for Ouattara and team-mate Julio Enciso, 22. The pair worked with O'Neil at Strasbourg last season, before O'Neil left to replace Kieran McKenna at Portman Road.

O'Neil said: 'Abdoul is a talented young player who can play in different positions, so is a very good addition to our squad. We enjoyed working with him in France last season and are delighted to have the opportunity to do so again at Ipswich.'

Norwich City are advancing in talks to sign Fenerbahce winger Anthony Musaba on a season's loan.

The 25-year-old Dutchman, formerly played for Sheffield Wednesday, is due to arrive tonight ahead of a medical.

Norwich want a winger as Ali Ahmed has injured an anterior cruciate ligament.

Manchester City and Lille working to get a deal for £85m-rated Ayyoub Bouaddi over the line.

As Daily Mail Sport reported over the weekend, Lille have been fighting to keep the midfielder for one more season, but City and the player want to seal a move now. 

Lille coach Davide Ancelotti explained why Bouaddi is wanted by Manchester City following Lille’s friendly at Everton, saying:  ‘Bouaddi is a very good player. He is available (in terms of his fitness) and he played 45 minutes. But that is only because I have to manage his minutes. Next week we start the season and I consider him as an available player for me.

‘Of course, there are negotiations. There is interest from so many clubs. He is a really, really good player and I hope that he is going to stay with us! What makes him so special? He has a huge personality.

‘He is incredibly intelligent on and off the pitch, he is really mature. He is 18 years old but he looks like he is 32 when he is on the pitch. Technically he is really complete. He is also physical, really strong in duels. He’s going to be one of the best midfielders in Europe for the next 10 years.’

Chelsea want close to £100million if they are to sell Pedro Neto this summer, sources inside the Stamford Bridge club have told Daily Mail Sport.

Neto, 26, has had several interested suitors in this window from the Premier League and beyond. Saudi side Al Hilal have been heavily linked this week.

It is understood no formal bids have yet landed with Chelsea for their Portuguese international, but they are aware of others' appreciation.

Former City full-back Joao Cancelo is also due in Barcelona after agreeing to return to the club from Al Hilal.

Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has completed his move to Juventus on loan with an option to buy for £8.6m.

The Bosnia international is likely to go straight into the team to play Liverpool next weekend.

Newcastle have also held talks with Bayern Munich over a move for Joao Palhinha but have other targets they are considering. Tottenham's Lucas Bergvall is one of the names that remains on their radar in the final days of the window.

Nottingham Forest are also expected to make another offer for the Swede.
