Summary

Manchester United is vying with Manchester City to sign Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson.

United is also close to finalizing a deal for Ederson from Atalanta, although it has stalled due to World Cup commitments. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich is reportedly interested in Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli, aiming for a transfer fee around £40 million, as he had limited starts last season. Newcastle is nearing its first summer signing with goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen set to join.
