Today's key events
Luton Town midfielder 'attracting interest from Watford, QPR'
Watford and Queens Park Rangers are reportedly interested in signing Luton Town's Luke Berry during the summer transfer window.
Since making the switch from Cambridge United to Kenilworth Road in 2017, the 31-year-old has featured 182 times for the Hatters across all competitions, scoring on 26 occasions.
Despite his status as a great servant of the club, Berry has struggled massively for regular game time as Luton stepped up to the Premier League this season.
The midfielder has appeared in 15 top-flight matches and netted twice, however he has only started on two occasions, earning a total of 305 minutes of action in the Premier League.
Man Utd 'not expecting any bids for £70m-rated star'
Manchester United are reportedly not expecting any suitable offers to arrive for Marcus Rashford during this summer's transfer window.
The Red Devils are believed to be open to selling the England international in the upcoming market due to his struggles during the 2023-24 campaign, and the fact that his departure would represent pure profit under the Premier League's rules surrounding profit and sustainability.
However, according to ESPN, Man United will not sanction a cut-price exit, with only offers of around £70m being considered by the club.
The report claims that the 20-time English champions are not expecting their asking price to be met, so the academy product is set to remain at Old Trafford.
Aston Villa, West Ham keen on Sheffield United prodigy?
Aston Villa and West Ham United are reportedly among a number of Premier League sides interested in Sheffield United's Oliver Arblaster.
The midfielder spent the first half of the 2023-24 term on loan at League One outfit Port Vale, where he established himself as a crucial first-team player.
Arblaster was a regular starter for the third-tier strugglers, featuring in 20 league contests up until January, scoring twice and providing one assist.
With an eye to the future - whilst also as a result of his impressive displays in Staffordshire - the 19-year-old was recalled by Sheffield United during the winter window.
Sheffield United, Hull 'in race for Brighton youngster'
Sheffield United and Hull City have reportedly joined the race for Brighton & Hove Albion youngster Marc Leonard ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old has spent back-to-back campaigns on loan at League One outfit Northampton Town, where he has established himself as a key first-team star.
Leonard managed to bag five goals and provide six assists from the Cobblers' engine room in 46 third-tier matches as his side avoided the drop this season.
The Scotsman was recognised for his stellar performances in recent weeks, winning Northampton's Player of the Season award during an event in late April.
Manchester United defender 'set for £5.1m summer move'
Manchester United defender Alvaro Fernandez is reportedly set to join Portuguese giants Benfica in a €6m (£5.1m) deal during this summer's transfer window.
The 21-year-old spent the first half of the 2023-24 campaign on loan at Granada, representing the Spanish side on 14 occasions in all competitions, before moving to Benfica on loan in the middle of January.
The Eagles would have been committed to paying €6m (£5.1m) for the defender if he started 50% of their matches between his arrival and the end of the campaign.
Fernandez has played less than expected for the Portuguese side, featuring only 13 times, and just two of his six appearances in the Primeira Liga have come from the first whistle.
Manchester United veteran 'open to staying at club'
Tom Heaton is reportedly open to penning a new deal at Manchester United despite not making a single appearance for the club during the 2023-24 campaign.
The 38-year-old is the number three goalkeeper at Old Trafford beyond Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir, and he would therefore need both stoppers to be unavailable in order to feature for the Red Devils.
Heaton returned to Man United for a second spell in the summer 2021 following the expiration of his contract at Aston Villa, but he has made just three appearances for the club during that time.
The goalkeeper's contract at Old Trafford is due to expire at the end of June, and it is widely thought that the Englishman will leave on a free transfer in search of a new club, as he has no plans to retire.
Arsenal 'open to offers for Brazilian attacker'
Arsenal are reportedly open to cashing in on one of their Brazilian forwards during the summer transfer window.
The Gunners are currently one of two teams - the other being Manchester City - who are in contention for the Premier League title.
There have been times during the campaign when Mikel Arteta has been frustrated with his attack-minded players, and it remains the case that only three players have reached double figures in the top flight during 2023-24.
However, Arsenal remain with the best attacking record in the division, scoring 85 times during their 35 fixtures to make up for their lack of a traditional centre-forward.
Chelsea defender 'wanted by three London clubs'
Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has allegedly emerged as a club for three different London clubs.
On Monday, Silva confirmed that he would be bringing his four-year stay at Stamford Bridge to an end when his contract expires in June.
The 39-year-old will depart the Blues as a club legend, making a total of 151 appearances in all competitions and being part of a squad that won the club's second Champions League trophy in 2021.
If reports are to be believed, Fluminense - one of the veteran's former teams - are the clear favourites to secure a reunion with the centre-back.
Man Utd 'eyeing move for £55m-rated Premier League defender'
Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a summer move for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi.
The Red Devils are expected to allow both Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans to leave on free transfers this summer, while the club are believed to be open for offers for Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire.
Two new centre-backs are likely to arrive at Old Trafford in the upcoming market, and according to The Times, Guehi has been placed on the club's shortlist.
The report claims that Palace are bracing themselves for summer offers for the England international and have set a valuation of around £55m, with Arsenal also believed to be keen.
Man Utd 'make decision on Greenwood, Sancho futures'
Manchester United are reportedly keen to sell both Mason Greenwood and Jadon Sancho during this summer's transfer window in order to raise funds for new signings.
Greenwood has had a productive season on loan at Getafe, scoring 10 goals and registering six assists in 31 appearances in all competitions.
Sancho, meanwhile, returned to Borussia Dortmund on loan in January, and he has made 16 appearances for the Bundesliga outfit in his second spell at the club, scoring three goals and registering two assists.
According to The Independent, both players will be made available for transfer this summer, as Man United need to raise funds in order to be active in the upcoming market due to the Premier League's rules surrounding profitability and sustainability.
Manchester United 'decide against £21m summer transfer'
Manchester United have reportedly rejected the opportunity to sign Sofyan Amrabat on a permanent basis during this summer's transfer window.
The Morcoco international made the move to Old Trafford on loan from Fiorentina last summer, and he has represented the Red Devils on 25 occasions during the 2023-24 campaign.
Amrabat has featured 17 times in the Premier League, while he represented the club in five of their six matches in the group stage of the Champions League.
The 27-year-old has largely struggled to hold down a regular spot, though, with his last Premier League start coming against Liverpool in the middle of December.
Father of Chelsea player comments on future at loan club
The father of Chelsea defender Ian Maatsen has suggested that his son is hopeful of remaining at Borussia Dortmund in the long term.
Maatsen began the season eager to establish himself as a valuable player in Mauricio Pochettino's first-team squad at Stamford Bridge.
However, having been kept on the periphery, the Netherlands Under-21 international was allowed to make the temporary switch to the Westfalenstadion in January.
Since his arrival, the 22-year-old has enjoyed regular football in a top division for the first time in his career, making 14 starts in the Bundesliga.
Sesko agent 'drops transfer hint amid Arsenal, Chelsea interest'
Benjamin Sesko's agent has fuelled suggestions that his client could be on the move to the Premier League during this summer's transfer window.
There is currently a host of speculation surrounding the RB Leipzig forward, with both Arsenal and Chelsea believed to be keen to sign him, while Manchester United are also thought to be closely monitoring the developments.
Sesko only made the move to Leipzig from Red Bull Salzburg last summer, penning a contract with the Bundesliga outfit until the summer of 2028.
The 20-year-old has been in strong form for his German club during the 2023-24 campaign, scoring 15 goals and registering two assists in 39 appearances in all competitions.
Rashford 'informs Man Utd of decision over future'
Marcus Rashford has reportedly communicated to Manchester United that he has no desire to seek a move away from the club during this summer's transfer window.
The England international's struggles during the 2023-24 campaign have led to suggestions that he could leave Old Trafford in the upcoming market, should a serious offer arrive.
Paris Saint-Germain continue to be linked with the Red Devils academy product, although it is understood that the French champions are not planning to move for him this summer.
According to TBR Football, despite the recent transfer talk, Rashford has informed Man United that he does not want to leave this summer and 'is fully focused' on 'recapturing his form'.
Man Utd 'set to open talks over move for £85m-rated defender'
Manchester United are reportedly preparing to enter into discussions with Ronald Araujo's agent over a big-money move for the Barcelona centre-back during the upcoming transfer window.
Despite being regarded as a key player by Barcelona, it is understood that the Catalan outfit would be willing to listen to substantial offers for the Uruguay international due to their financial situation.
Mikayil Faye is expected to be promoted to the first team next season, while Pau Cubarsi has broken into the senior side this term, which is believed to have opened up a potential departure for Araujo, with Barcelona confident in the players who could potentially replace him in the side.
A recent report claimed that Cubarsi, Faye, Gavi, Pedri and Lamine Yamal are the only five players who will not be allowed to leave Camp Nou this summer under any circumstances.
