Barcelona are intensifying efforts to sign Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven, 24, while Manchester United are prepared to offer midfielder Bruno Fernandes an improved contract worth up to £400,000 per week. Fernandes' Old Trafford future depends entirely on whether the club qualifies for the Champions League. Meanwhile, Aston Villa and Fulham are both interested in Wales midfielder Harry Wilson, whose contract expires this summer.

Inter Milan have confirmed they are not selling Italy midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, 20, despite United's ongoing contract talks. Juventus are reviving interest in Paris St-Germain's Randal Kolo Muani, 27, currently on loan at Tottenham, and appear to have made progress in extending striker Dusan Vlahovic's deal. However, Bayern Munich midfielder Konrad Laimer, 28, has halted contract talks due to a significant gap in expectations.
