**Manuel Ugarte Transfer: Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain Agree on Deal Worth Up to £50.7m**
Manchester United have finalized a deal with Paris Saint-Germain to sign midfielder Manuel Ugarte for an initial fee of £42.2 million, which could increase to £50.7 million with add-ons. Ugarte, who had been a primary target for United, was eager to make the move to Old Trafford. Meanwhile, Scott McTominay is close to completing his transfer to Napoli as he prepares to exit United.
Which Players and Positions Are Newcastle Targeting?
Newcastle United has prioritized strengthening a right-sided center-back and a right-winger throughout the summer transfer window, but neither position has been addressed yet.
Interestingly, the club may also be looking to sign a third goalkeeper, despite already having five on their roster. Newcastle has been monitoring Anthony Elanga of Nottingham Forest, among other domestic and international targets. Earlier in the window, they showed interest in Chelsea’s Noni Madueke but have since shifted their focus.
In June, Newcastle engaged in talks with Burnley regarding James Trafford, before quickly pivoting to secure Odysseas Vlachodimos from Nottingham Forest as part of their efforts to meet PSR requirements. Although the club has already signed two goalkeepers this summer, there remains a possibility that they could revisit negotiations with Burnley for Trafford. However, any such discussions would likely hinge on the departure of one or more current goalkeepers, and there is no guarantee that talks will resume.
### Man City Defender Cancelo Joins Al Hilal in €25m Deal
Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo has officially completed his move to Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. The deal, worth around €25 million (£21m; $27.9m), was reported by *The Athletic* as being close to completion earlier this week, and has now been finalized.
### Feyenoord's Bijlow Says Southampton Move Broke Down Due to Medical Issue
Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow revealed that his transfer to Southampton fell through due to concerns raised during his medical examination. In a statement on social media, Bijlow stated that Southampton's medical team had a different approach to managing an old injury compared to Feyenoord. While he insists that he is "fully fit and not hampered by this," he respects Southampton's decision. Bijlow, who made only 24 appearances last season due to injury, has attracted interest from clubs like Manchester United and Arsenal.
### Who Could Leave Man City Before the Transfer Window Closes?
Joao Cancelo’s move to Saudi Arabia could be an ideal transfer for Manchester City, freeing them from arranging annual loan deals and securing a significant fee for a player under contract until 2027. Additionally, 23-year-old Issa Kabore, who spent last season on loan at Luton Town, might also be set for another temporary move before the window closes.
Atletico Madrid is reportedly interested in loaning Matheus Nunes. While Nunes is not expected to play much this season, his departure could create an opportunity for Manchester City to strengthen their squad in other areas, potentially opening the door for moves involving Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi or FC Copenhagen's Orri Oskarsson.
### Wolves Close to Agreement for Palace's Johnstone
Wolverhampton Wanderers are nearing an agreement with Crystal Palace to sign goalkeeper Sam Johnstone. While a deal is not yet finalized, both clubs are working towards a compromise on a fee of around £10 million ($12.7m). A proposed contract for Johnstone would run until 2028. Earlier reports indicated that Palace was prepared to let Johnstone leave after he requested a transfer, with interest from clubs like Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, and Southampton.

### Leeds Sign Solomon on Loan from Tottenham
Leeds United has completed the loan signing of Manor Solomon from Tottenham Hotspur. As first reported by *The Athletic*, the 25-year-old winger joins the Championship club on a season-long loan, with no option to make the move permanent. Solomon, who signed a five-year contract with Spurs last summer after joining from Shakhtar Donetsk, had a productive 2022-23 season on loan at Fulham but has struggled with injuries since. Although he returned to action during pre-season, Solomon was not included in Ange Postecoglou’s matchday squads for Tottenham’s first two Premier League matches.
