Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's Daily Transfer Roundup. We have some exciting bits of news to bring to you today as the summer transfer window starts to gather pace ahead of its grand conclusion.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the top transfer news, rumours and updates that made headlines on 23 July 2019.
Bruno Fernandes reveals he's told the club he wants to play in the Premier League
With Manchester United keen on bringing the Sporting Lisbon midfielder to Old Trafford, the midfielder has handed them a major boost by revealing that he has informed his club about his desire to leave and play in the Premier League.
Bruno Fernandes talked to the press whilst travelling with the rest of the Sporting Lisbon squad to New York on the club's pre-season tour.

Fernandes said,
"I don't care about the market, I've talked about this many times.
"The only thing I can do now is that I need to catch the plane so I don't miss it. Will this be the last match for Sporting? I don't know, it's the coach who decides.
"I told I'd like to play in England, but I don't care about it right now.
"If it could be this season? It could be when the club decides, I'm not in charge."
Bruno Fernandes signed a 5-year contract at Sporting last summer. However, the deal also includes a £31 million release clause. If a potential buyer is willing to match that fee and the club refuses to sell the player to them, then Bruno Fernandes stands to earn £5 million for such refusal to sell.
Sporting's valuation of the player, however, is well in excess of his release clause amount. They want at least £60 million for Bruno Fernandes. Sporting are under great pressure to make money from Fernandes' sale after Joao Felix was bought by Atletico Madrid from their rival club Benfica for £120 million.
Gareth Bale's agent says player won't leave Real Madrid on loan
Gareth Bale has been heavily linked with a move to China over the last couple of days. Ever since Zinedine Zidane expressed his desire to see Bale leave at the earliest, the situation has worsened between the player and the club as Jonathan Barnett, Bale's agent, called Zizou a disgrace for the way he dealt with it.
Now Barnett has revealed that Bale will not leave Real Madrid on loan.
"There will be no makeshift deals to get him out of the club,"
"He is one of the best players on the planet.
"I can guarantee you he will not be going on loan to any club.
"He is a Real Madrid player and, for now, he's staying as a Real Madrid player.
"If something comes along that suits us then things could change and he could be gone in a day or a week, or he could still be a Real Madrid player in three years when his contract ends."
Meanwhile, Zidane maintained that he did not disrespect anyone and that his Spanish might have caused some people to think that way.
"It's true that sometimes my Spanish causes mischief, but I want to be clear,".
"First, I have not disrespected anyone, especially a player of ours. I always say the same thing. The players are most important and I will always be with my players.
"Second, I said the club were trying to sell the player, nothing more.
"And third, Bale didn't get ready for the game became he didn't want to as the club were trying to sort out his future.
"Now let's go back to the start. He is a Real Madrid player, nothing has changed.
"He will train normally, and tomorrow is tomorrow so we will see what happens.
"You know the situation and you know what is happening with the club. Gareth is a player in the Real Madrid team.
"That's the most important thing. I'm not at all uncomfortable working with Bale. I will count on him once more."
Arsenal set to sign Dani Ceballos on loan
Dani Ceballos is one of the midfielders who will see playing time coming at a premium next season if he is to kick on at the Santiago Bernabeu beyond the summer. However, latest reports suggest that Ceballos is on the verge of joining Arsenal on a loan deal.
Ceballos who joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2017 and starred for the Spanish u-21 team in the recently concluded u-21 Euro tournament.
Ahead of the potential loan deal, Emery praised Ceballos. Speaking ahead of Arsenal's final International Champions Cup match against Real in Washington DC, Emery said,
"We are speaking about the possibility to sign one player,"
"We have different names and the club is working on that.
"Ceballos is a very good player. I know him from [Real] Betis at the beginning and Real Madrid."
Milinkovic-Savic is close to joining Manchester United as Pogba move nears
Paul Pogba might not, after all, end up staying at Manchester United beyond the summer. Reports from sources close to the Lazio board suggest that Milinkovic-Savic will join Manchester United as soon as the latter agree a deal with Real Madrid for midfielder Paul Pogba.
Mino Raiola is reportedly still looking to engineer a move away for the Frenchman. The Servian has been on Manchester United's radar for quite a while now and they've been constantly linked with him over the past few transfer windows.
The deal will reportedly cost Manchester United £75 million plus add ons. However, the deal will go over the line only if Real Madrid cough up enough money and meet Manchester United's valuation of the World Cup winner that goes well above £150 million. Real Madrid are not big on funds after completing a few big-money deals already.
Manchester City not interested in selling Leroy Sane
Despite several reports claiming that Bayern Munich have made a breakthrough in negotiations for Leroy Sane, it has been now revealed by Sky Sports that sources close to Manchester City have denied all such claims and maintained that no official bids have been received for the German winger.
As per the latest reports, Leroy Sane has not informed the club about his desire to leave. However, City had failed to reach an agreement with Leroy Sane for a new contract last summer. But they are now hopeful that the winger will sign a new contract at the Etihad.
Manchester City are currently touring Asia and are in Hong Kong ahead of Wednesday's game against local club Kitchee. This will be a huge setback for Bayern Munich who are looking to bring in top-quality talent as replacements for Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery.
