Transfer rumour roundup: Man Utd brace for Bruno Fernandes bids; Spurs weigh move for Villarreal hotshot Georges Mikautadze

Thursday's transfer rumours feature Eduardo Camavinga, Folarin Balogun, and Martin Zubimendi.

Manchester United are braced for interest in Bruno Fernandes before the transfer deadline. Juventus, AC Milan and Galatasaray are all keen on the midfielder, according to the BBC, whose deal expires in 2027. United, however, have no intention to sell and are working on a contract extension for the club captain.

Manchester United are also set to face disappointment in their pursuit of Real Madrid midfielderEduardo Camavinga. The Red Devils have expressed interest in the Frenchman, whose ability to cover central midfield and left-back adds to his appeal. However, The Athletic are reporting that Camavinga's clear preference is to stay in Spain.

Arsenal are reportedly prepared to listen to offers for Martin Zubimendi, following the signing of Bruno Guimaraes. TEAMtalk tell us that Zubimendi has piqued the interest of Chelsea and Real Madrid, who will need to cough up €90m (£77m) to secure his signature. Chelsea coach Xabi Alonso worked with Zubimendi at Real Sociedad and is open to a reunion.

Folarin Balogun is expected to leave AS Monaco this summer after an impressive World Cup with co-hosts the United States. However, Tottenham Hotspur have not made an approach for the ex-Arsenal goal-getter, confirms Fabrizio Romano. Galatasaray and Saudi sides are currently leading the race.

The North Londoners, however are considering Villarreal forwardGeorges Mikautadze. The Georgian scored 13 league goals during his debut season with The Yellow Submarine, and his entourage have also been contacted by Barcelona, say Transfer Feed.

Former Spurs loaneeJoao Palhinha could be set to return to the Premier League. The midfielder has agreed personal terms to join Aston Villa from Bayern Munich, though a fee is still to be agreed between the clubs.

Villa are hoping to addPalhinha to their depleted midfield, while the club are also in talks with West Ham over a deal for Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The Hammers have set an asking price of £25m for the right-back.
