    It remains busy in the Premier League - Liverpool have rejected a £58m offer from Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz.

    We've also had three transfers announced today - Everton signed goalkeeper Mark Travers, Jordan Henderson joined Brentford and Aston Villa have signed Marco Bizot from Brest.

    Thanks for getting involved today and we hope to see you again tomorrow.

  2. Who are the biggest spenders?published at 15:56 British Summer Time 15 July

    Perhaps unsurprisingly, Chelsea have spent the most in the Premier League.

    The £84m they potted by winning the Club World Cup has helped to fund deals for Joao Pedro (£60m), Jamie Gittens (£48.5) and Liam Delap (£30m).

    A large part of Liverpool's spending was done with the £100m up front they paid Bayer Leverkusen for Florian Wirtz, with Jeremie Frimpong (£29.5m) and Milos Kerkez (£40m) joining the German at Anfield.

    Anthony Elanga's transfer to Newcastle last week was the sixth in the Premier League for a fee of £55m or more during the current window.

    The only Premier League club yet to make a signing are Fulham.

  3. Premier League leads European spendingpublished at 15:54 British Summer Time 15 July

    The Premier League is no stranger to spending the most out of any of Europe's top five leagues, and this summer is no different.

    English top-flight clubs have exceeded the transfer investments of Serie A, Bundesliga and La Liga teams combined.

    Only five teams in the world outside of England have bought a player as expensive as the £30m newly-promoted Sunderland spent on Habib Diarra from Strasbourg.

    Real Madrid's £50m investment in Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth is the most expensive signing by a non-Premier League club this summer.

  4. Early start boosts businesspublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 15 July

    Opened due to the Club World Cup, the two transfer windows have played their part in plenty of early movement.

    The first opened between Sunday, 1 June and Tuesday, 10 June, with clubs allowed to business again from 16 June.

    A total of £400m was spent before the traditional transfer window even opened, with Manchester City spending around £108m combined on Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Tijjani Reijnders.

    The question is, will clubs keep up with this record pace? They are less than halfway to the total of the most expensive window ever, the £2.36bn spent in the summer of 2023.

  5. Premier League spending so farpublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 15 July

    Three more Premier League incomings have been announced today and we've also brought you updates on a few more deals in the pipeline.

    Safe to say, it's been quite the summer already.

    The bottom line is that £1.03bn has been spent on players since the transfer window first opened at the start of June. That beats the previous record of £800m at the same stage of 2022.

    Transfers Q&A: Is Bakayoko the man for Forest?published at 15:46 British Summer Time 15 July

    Bob G: Who could potentially replace Anthony Elanga at Nottingham Forest? For they would surely need a quick winger who can provide goals and assists right?

    As I mentioned, Johan Bakayoko from PSV. He's had a long term interest from Forest, they know all about him. It's certainly one on the list.

    He's somebody who's won the league with PSV this season. Forest being able to now offer European football does help, obviously it's not Champions League so that may be a factor in whether they'll be able to tempt somebody like him there.

    But let's talk about what we know, he scored 11 in 46 appearances last season and obviously winning the title.

    But recruitment is 24/7, 365 days a year, it's an ongoing process and Forest will have a long list of targets and be very well prepared for times like now, that they're losing some players.

    If Newcastle sign Ekitike, will he become the first palindromic footballer to play for the club? How many other names are palindromes in the league? I can think of Eze and that's probably it.

    Kris, Northumberland

    Here at the BBC Sport HQ, we have come up with new Sheffield United manager Ruben Selles... and former Japan and Feyenoord midfielder Shinji Ono, but none as impressive as Ekitike!

    Do 'Get Involved' if you have any other names in mind...

    We have even more transfer news coming your way...

    And it's from Aston Villa, who have just confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Marco Bizot from Brest for an undisclosed fee.

    The 34-year-old played in last season's Champions League for the French side and has earned one cap at senior level by the Netherlands, which came in 2020.

    Bizot has previously been at clubs including Ajax, Groningen, Genk and AZ Alkmaar.

    Liverpool have rejected a £58.6m opening offer from Bayern Munich for forward Luis Diaz.

    The German club approached Liverpool earlier this month but were told Diaz was not for sale.

    That position was reinforced on Tuesday as Liverpool turned down the Bundesliga side's first bid for the 28-year-old Colombia international.

    Liverpool value Diaz, whose contract expires in the summer of 2027, in excess of £87m as one of Europe's most prominent attackers.

    Reds manager Arne Slot views Diaz as a key member of his squad who he does not want to lose.

    He scored 22 goals for club and country last season, with 13 of those in the Premier League as Liverpool won the title by 10 points.

    Diaz attracted interest from Manchester City last summer, and also has admirers in Saudi Arabia.

    Transfers Q&A: Will Man Utd offload exiled players?published at 15:21 British Summer Time 15 July

    Anon: Do you think Man Utd have any chance of offloading the players the manager doesn't want? If so, who is likely to take them?

    In the end, I do think they will all find clubs - although it may involve a loan, or a loan with an obligation to buy. The difficult bit is when.

    It is fair to assume Ruben Amorim was hoping to make more signings than just Matheus Cunha by now but United were never going to have free rein to bring in lots of new players without selling some.

    The point I made in the bigger piece I have written for the website is that given the likelihood these deals might be done quite late, do United have to start thinking about selling players who are currently part of Amorim's squad?

    I make it United have around 22 outfield players in their first-team group, not including those who have been exiled, which is about right.

    I think Amorim could sell two more to create the space for replacements.

  11. Exiled players can't use facilities until first team leavepublished at 15:16 British Summer Time 15 July

    The quintet cannot access United's Carrington training ground - which they can enter for rehabilitation and medical purposes - until Amorim and his squad have left for the day.

    The members of the so-called 'bomb squad', a reference to their being bombed out, can train together at Carrington if they wish but Amorim considers their time at the club over.

    United face Leeds in Stockholm in a friendly on Saturday, before travelling to the US next Tuesday for their pre-season tour.

  12. The Man Utd five - What is going on at Carrington?published at 15:11 British Summer Time 15 July

    At the end of Manchester United's end-of-season tour of Asia, Ruben Amorim made it clear that he knew what he wanted his squad to look like for the next season.

    Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Tyrrell Malacia were not going to be a part of it.

    With Rashford and Garnacho coming through the academy, between the other three £167m was spent on bringing them to the club.

    On 4 July, United made it known that the five unwanted players had asked to leave and would not train with the remainder of Amorim's squad.

    So what is the state of play for the United outcasts?

    Transfers Q&A: Will new Man City players make an impact?published at 14:58 British Summer Time 15 July

    Tijjani Reijnders of Manchester CityImage source, Getty Images

    Franek in London: Manchester City have somewhat splashed the cash this summer in preparation for the Club World Cup. My question is, do you think players such as Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki will make an impact in the Premier League?

    Manchester City spent over £100m in preparation for winning the Club World Cup and it went well during the group stages, before coming to a shuddering halt at the first knockout stage. To make matters worse, they came home and had to watch Premier League rivals Chelsea go on to lift the trophy.

    I managed to speak to - and watch - both players in the USA and the early signs suggest they will be excellent additions for City – I expect them to do well for the club.

    Reijnders is such an athletic player, getting around the pitch and snuffing out attacking, while his passing ability is superb too – City lacked real energy and drive in the middle of the park last season and the Dutchman will be able to provide that this term.

    Cherki is a really confident player, speaking to him you can see how much he believes himself and that translates onto the pitch too. We saw him score a cracker against Manchester United at Old Trafford this season and when he hits a ball, it stays hit!

    But he showed he possesses a deftness to his game too when providing a delightful assists for Phil Foden’s goal in the defeat by Al-Hilal. City will need that creativity in the final third following the departure of Kevin de Bruyne.

    Transfers Q&A: Is there an English tax on domestic players?published at 14:51 British Summer Time 15 July

    Simon Stone
    BBC Sport chief football news reporter

    Paul Sissons: Are English clubs still overpaying for domestic players compared to their European counterparts?

    Yes and no, Paul. There is definitely a 'tax' on buying players from the Premier League or English Football League.

    However, there is also reduced risk because those players have been exposed to the intensity of the English game and should find it easier to settle in.

    Players can impress in the biggest leagues but it doesn't mean they will do the same in England. There are a lot of examples of players who have fitted right in. But there are plenty who have arrived with huge reputations and failed to deliver.

    It is a gamble.

    Anon: Surely Man Utd's problems are more around being unable to sell players because they will realise significant losses and players they are over-paying would have to agree to take very large pay cuts?

    This is a fundamental truth. Manchester United can pay big wages because they are one of the richest clubs in the world.

    By definition not many clubs can compete on salary terms so if they have players they don't want, it is difficult to find someone willing to take on the contract.

    It is a Premier League issue rather than United specific and explains why more deals are done between 'rivals' than happened before. The issue for United is they have too many players they don't want and need to generate finance to invest in new signings due to their Profit and Sustainability position.

    It does seem they are trying to get to a point where they pay less for hungry players with something to prove, but it is easier said than done.

    Chris in Brighton: Are Brighton making a mistake if they sell Evan Ferguson or should they continue sending him on loan to other Premier League teams?

    The worry from a fans' point of view is that they could have another Viktor Gyokeres on their hands. He didn’t have the best time at the club and then left and now he looks set to complete a big move to Arsenal.

    Ferguson had an amazing start to senior football and looked to be a natural goalscorer. He’s had injuries and then went on loan to West Ham where he didn’t score a league goal.

    It may be he just needs game time. Brighton very rarely get it wrong, but they have all of those things to decide on and that’s without the player’s own wishes too.

    David: With West Ham on the verge of making their first signing in El Hadji Malick Diouf, will the Mohammed Kudus money be spent further on other players or will manager Graham Potter have to turn to the club's youngsters?

    Hiya David. There is a big element of book balancing about West Ham's summer transfer business because the Declan Rice money has gone.

    The situation is more complicated because of the uncertainty over Lucas Paqueta and the experienced players who left the club last summer as their contracts had expired.

    It feels like there are a number of holes in Graham Potter's squad that need to be filled, chief among them a productive central striker because, other than Jarrod Bowen, I am not sure where West Ham's goals come from.

    Mark in Rochdale: With strikers being sought by lots of clubs and Victor Osimhen being one of the best around, how come no Premier League clubs have tried to sign him?

    Hi Mark. That is an interesting one. Osimhen is highly rated but according to reports deals and discussions with him seem to be expensive.

    Every side in the Premier League want a goalscorer so it could possibly be down to the fact that clubs have found more value in the market.

    Jack in London: With the rise of young talents in the transfer market, which emerging player from a Premier League club outside the top six do you think is most likely to secure a big-money move this window, and what makes them stand out as a prime target for top clubs?

    We’ve already seen Liam Delap go to Chelsea from Ipswich for £30m so clubs are taking the young talent, Jobe Bellingham has already gone to Dortmund too.

    It may feel a bit left-field but it’s worth mentioning centre-back Charlie Cresswell at Toulouse. He helped England Under-21s win Euro 2025 last month - the second time he has won the competition - and was outstanding. Strong and vocal, he was a leader for that group and the ex-Leeds defender could be available this summer.

    Adam Wharton at Crystal Palace will have his admirers but I’m not sure he can be classed as ‘emerging’ any more.
