Man Utd close in on fifth summer signing
Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka is on the verge of becoming Manchester United’s fifth signing of the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils want a new shot-stopper to provide back-up and competition for No.1 David de Gea after Dean Henderson’s loan move to Nottingham Forest. They previously tried to sign Kevin Trapp, but the Eintracht Frankfurt man decided to stay in the Bundesliga instead.

Barkley has left Chelsea
Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley has had his contract at the club terminated by mutual consent.
The 28-year-old, who has 33 England caps to his name, has not featured for Thomas Tuchel’s side this season. His final Blues appearance was in a 2-1 final day win over Watford last term. He scored an injury-time winner in that match.

Ronaldo could go out on loan
The clock is ticking for Cristiano Ronaldo. Time is running out, with the transfer window closing on Thursday. The forward might be able to leave Manchester United for Napoli or Sporting CP, but it won’t be easy.
United are unlikely to offer Ronaldo in a direct swap deal for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. So, with only a few days of the transfer window left, a loan move may be the only chance CR7 has of leaving Old Trafford. [Independent]

The 33-year-old forward’s age and expected salary are the main concerns for Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel’s side, however, remain keen to sign Auba’s teammate Frenkie de Jong. But as things stand, the Dutchman is more likely to stay at Barcelona. [The Athletic – subscription required]
