Real Madrid and Bayern Munich linked with Dalot
This is an unusual rumour.
Man United star Diogo Dalot is being linked with a move to Real Madrid.
It’s not the most concrete of reports, with Fichajes detailing the loss to Benfica has pushed Los Blancos to make a move for the Portuguese full-back.
They add that Bayern Munich are also keen, and could spark a bidding war, with United holding a lot of negotiating power as there are two years remaining on his deal and the potential for a one-year option.
Dalot seems settled at Old Trafford but if Madrid come knocking on deadline day could he resist a move?

One move that looks set to happen on deadline day is Mamadou Sarr heading to Chelsea.
The Blues signed Sarr from Strasbourg last summer before sending him back to the French side on a season-long loan.
But, former Strasbourg manager and current Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior is keen on a reunion and the loan deal has been cut short.
Sarr is expected in London today to begin life at Stamford Bridge.

Tottenham want to keep Kolo Muani
Tottenham have no plans to cut Randal Kolo Muani’s loan short, even though Juventus want to bring the forward back to Turin.
Kolo Muani is on loan at Spurs from PSG, and while reports elsewhere suggested that the club might want to cut his loan short due to interest in strikers such as Jean-Philippe Mateta, Sky Sports reports that that is not the case.

Axel Disasi is on the brink of joining West Ham from Chelsea on loan, reports Fabrizio Romano.
The Chelsea centre-back could boost Nuno Espirito Santo’s Hammers and the bid to beat the drop.
Disasi was part of the Blues’ “bomb squad”, but has rejointed training under Liam Rosenior.
But there is little chance of regular minutes still at Stamford Bridge, meaning a loan across London could revitalise his career.

What’s going on with Joshua Zirkzee?
Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee remains the subject of speculation with The Sun reporting that Roma and Napoli are interested in signing him.
Juventus are also said to be monitoring Zirkzee’s situation but despite the interest Man Utd seem set on keeping Zirkzee on the books.
The striker has fallen down the pecking order under Michael Carrick but, with incomings looking unlikely on deadline day, the head coach wants to keep Zirkzee in the squad.
He said: “Josh is just trying to work to get fit and get around the group. It has been great to have him back training with the group for the first time.
“That is as far as it goes, for me and for Josh. I am looking forward to working with him. That’s it, nothing else has been needed to be said.”
