Manchester United right-back Matteo Darmian remains upheld on his decision to quit Old Trafford this transfer window. The Italian lost his place in Jose Mourinho's first team last campaign and made just 14 appearances in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Antonio Valencia and Diego Dalot are likely to be sidelined for the start of the Premier League season. But, in spite of there being an opening in the starting line-up for him, Darmian still desires to leave Man Utd and start fresh at a new club.

Tottenham issue Alderweireld price tag

Tottenham Hotspur have slapped a £55 million asking price for Toby Alderweireld. The Belgian has been a long-term target for Manchester United and has just one year remaining on his deal at Spurs.

Reinforcements in central defence has been a priority for Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho this summer but the Portuguese has failed to land any center-backs thus far. SImilarly, Tottenham are keen on getting Anthony Martial in the deal for Alderweireld but Mourinho is unwilling to let the Frenchman leave for a rival Premier League club.

PSG cool interest for Boateng

Paris Saint-Germain claimed that the deal for Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng will not be rushed. The German has slipped down the transfer targets and is no longer a priority for the Parisian club.

PSG are unwilling to meet the €50 million price tag and also the high wages that Boateng commands. This has led to Manchester United becoming the sole contenders for the 29 year old while Jose Mourinho has shifted his efforts on pushing a deal for Leicester City's Harry Maguire.
