Premier League side eye six more signings ahead of new season

Everton are reportedly interested in signing Southampton's Tyler Dibling, with a £27m bid for the winger already rejected. David Moyes is seeking to make six more signings to strengthen Everton's squad, particularly after the departure of wingers Jack Harrison and Jesper Lindstrom. Dibling, an England Under-21 international, had a breakthrough season for Southampton, scoring four goals in 38 appearances. Despite Southampton previously valuing Dibling at £100m, their relegation to the Championship could lead to further player sales. Everton have so far completed three signings this summer: goalkeeper Mark Travers, forward Thierno Barry, and midfielder Charly Alcaraz.

Doomed 105-year-old football club could go out of business in days

Morecambe Football Club faces imminent closure, with prospective buyers stating it will go out of business on Monday without immediate action. Panjab Warriors, the prospective buyers, have urged current owner Jason Whittingham to sign the deal to allow the takeover to proceed and save the club. The club's academy is set to cease operations by the end of the week, and the first team has already halted activities due to lapsed insurance. Morecambe's membership with the National League has been suspended, and the club remains under embargo ahead of the upcoming season. Panjab Warriors, supported by a minority shareholders action group, are ready to complete the acquisition to preserve the club's 105-year legacy.

Man United 'join the hunt to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma from PSG'... but 'face hurdle in race for goalkeeper's signature'

Manchester United have reportedly made an enquiry to Paris Saint-Germain about the availability of Gianluigi Donnarumma but a deal is seemingly improbable. Andre Onana has been the No 1 goalkeeper at Old Trafford for the past two seasons, following his £47.1million arrival from Inter Milan in July 2023. Since moving to Manchester, Onana — whose last ever game for Inter was in the UEFA Champions League final — has seen his stock fall significantly. A string of high-profile errors have led to calls for United to replace the 29-year-old, with United understood to interested in Donnarumma, 26. Donnarumma has just one year left to run on his current contract with PSG, where he has spent the past four seasons. Despite this, the Italian No 1 would likely still command a hefty transfer fee, not to mention wages well in excess of Onana's. According to journalist Marc Mechenoua, United are unlikely to pursue their interest in Donnarumma any further unless they are first able to raise funds and lower their wage bill by moving on several high-earners. Mechenoua also claims that Chelsea have contacted PSG to ask what it might take to prise Donnarumma away from Paris this summer. More to follow.
