Premier League transfer news: Saudi Arabian club's Ronaldo offer, Man Utd close to making signing, Gnabry latest and more

A number of big transfer deals look set to be done over the coming days. Here's the latest transfer rumours:

Martinez close to Manchester United move

Manchester United are on the verge of reaching an agreement with Ajax for the £46.5m transfer of Lisandro Martinez.

GOAL reports thar the deal is moving "quickly" and could be completed within the next 24 hours.

United moved for Martinez after initially looking at a move for his central defensive partner Jurrien Timber and Arsenal's interest in the Argentine spurred them into action once it became clear Timber wouldn't leave Ajax.

Erik ten Hag is familiar with Martinez, having worked with him in Amsterdam, and the player has been keen to be reunited with his former manager.

Ronaldo 'receives proposal from Saudi Arabian club'

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly received an offer from an unnamed Saudi Arabian club, according to TVI & CNN Portugal.

They are offering a €30million transfer fee to Manchester United and a staggering €250million salary over two years, which would take the player past his 39th birthday.

Gnabry at centre of tussle

Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry is a target for numerous Premier League clubs as he eyes a move away from the Allianz Arena.

That is according to German outlet BILD, which claims the 26-year-old would turn down a move to Chelsea due to his loyalty to Arsenal, where he came through the academy ranks.

Manchester City and Manchester United have also been credited with interest in Gnabry, who has entered the final year of his contract at Bayern.

Tottenham leading Kounde race

Tottenham have joined the race for £76 million French international defender Jules Kounde – although they may have to see off moneybags Paris Saint-Germain.

Although Spurs head coach Antonio Conte's summer trolley dash is well advanced, with four players signed and a fifth, Djed Spence, likely to join the payroll from Middlesbrough, he remains in the market for a dominant centre-back.

And after running into brick walls in his efforts to land Alessandro Bastoni from his old club Inter Milan, Conte has stayed in the race for Kounde, who has a £76m release clause at Seville.

Chelsea were the early favourites to land Kounde, but they have since switched their attention to Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly – and Tottenham have jumped towards the front of the queue.

Man Utd set De Jong ultimatum

Manchester United have reportedly told Frenkie de Jong to make up his mind over an Old Trafford transfer by the end of the week or the club will move on to other targets.

United have been in negotiations with Barcelona for a number of weeks now, and while a deal in principle has reportedly been agreed, very little seems to have progressed since. That said, United are still hopeful of getting a transfer over the line.

Barcelona are having to consider selling some of their prize assets this summer amid their huge financial debts.

Barcelona announce Dembele stay

Barcelona have confirmed that Ousmane Dembele has signed a new two-year contract extension after his previous deal expired last month.

The French winger, 25, had reportedly taken a pay cut to agree fresh terms, but Mirror Football understands that those claims are wide of the mark.

Four Premier League sides eye Chelsea starlet

Arsenal, Everton, Leicester and Southampton have all been alerted to the fact Chelsea could be willing to sell highly-rated academy product Levi Colwill this summer.

The 19-year-old centre-back - who shone on loan at Huddersfield last season as the Terriers reahced the Championship play-off final - could see his path to the first team at Stamford Bridge blocked, with Chelsea targetting centre-back trio Kalidou Koulibaly, Nathan Ake and Prensel Kimpembe.

According to the Mail, there's plenty of Premier League interested in Colwill.
