Follow all the latest transfer news, done deals and much more below.

Rodriguez set for Napoli

Carlo Ancelotti is seeking a reunion with James Rodriguez at Napoli.

The Colombian is set to return to Real Madrid after a two-year loan with Bayern Munich.

He has no future at the Bernabeu, where he played under Ancelotti but could be lured to Naples.

De Ligt to make decision

Manchester United target Matthijs de Ligt will make a decision on his future in the coming days.

De Ligt is the hottest property in world football after a stunning season with Ajax.

Barcelona are in pole position to land him but United haven’t given up just yet.

Lukaku set for Inter

Romelu Lukaku could become Antonio Conte’s first signing at Inter.

The Belgian is free to leave Manchester United this summer and Conte is a big fan.

It is reported Inter would be willing to pay around £70m for Lukaku.

Man UTD in for Bruno Fernandes

Manchester United are closing in on their first summer signing, according to reports in Portugal.

A Bola claim the Red Devils are confident of having a deal in place to sign midfield target Bruno Fernandes by the end of next week.

Fernandes has been heavily linked with a move away from Sporting Lisbon after a record-breaking season in which he bagged 32 goals in all competitions.

Zidane 'leans towards' Pogba

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is reportedly “leaning towards” a move for Paul Pogba instead of Christian Eriksen this summer.

According to Marca, the French boss has delayed his move for Tottenham star Eriksen as he ponders how he can land Manchester United star Pogba.

Zidane is set for a huge summer rebuild as Los Blancos look to bounce back from a miserable season during which they were never in contention for silverware.

They are now in the market for star signings to lead them back to glory with Eden Hazard expected to join from Chelsea.

But Zidane reportedly wants midfield reinforcements with Pogba and Eriksen on his shortlist - although French compatriot Pogba is his preference.

Legend urges Arsenal to spend

Arsenal legend David Seaman has urged Stan Kroenke to back Unai Emery in the transfer window to halt their decline.

“Give him some money,” Seaman told football.london . “Give him a transfer window. 

“There have been two transfer windows that have gone by and he’s had nothing.

“The board need to back him or otherwise we are going to be left further behind.”

Lacazette 'spotted in Barcelona'

Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette has reportedly been spotted in Barcelona after being linked with a summer move to the La Liga club.

The French striker, who flattered to deceive as the Gunners were thrashed 4-1 in the Europa League final in midweek, is said to be a target for the Catalan giants as they eye a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez.

And according to Sport, Lacazette was seen in the city on Friday, apparently being spotted in the Ciudad Condal restaurant in the city.
