Manchester United's contract negotiations with David de Gea continue to be unresolved, creating uncertainty about the goalkeeper's future at the club.

Furthermore, the team has failed to secure at least one of their target goalkeepers, and they have yet to make a final decision regarding the potential signing of Andre Onana from Inter Milan.

In other news, Wilfried Zaha is now a free agent and has multiple enticing offers to consider. Meanwhile, Arsenal has reached an agreement on a transfer fee for Ajax defender Jurrien Timber.

According to the Mirror, Manchester United will not be able to secure Bart Verbruggen as a potential replacement for David de Gea.

“Manchester United have a growing problem in the goalkeeping department after missing out on one of their summer transfer targets,” the report claims.

“Andre Onana, David Raya, Diogo Costa and Bart Verbruggen have all been monitored by United’s recruitment team. But one of those options is now on the verge of disappearing, with Verbruggen set to join Brighton from Anderlecht.

“According to the Manchester Evening News, Ten Hag is a fan of Netherlands international Verbruggen. But Sussex Live reports that the 20-year-old is now poised to join Brighton on a £17m transfer.”

Arsenal Set to Sign Declan Rice from West Ham in £105m Agreement

In an exciting development, Arsenal Football Club has reached an agreement worth £105m to secure the services of Declan Rice, the talented midfielder from West Ham United and England.

Negotiations between the two clubs are currently underway to determine the structure of the deal for the 24-year-old player.

This successful agreement comes after Arsenal made their third bid, surpassing the previous two offers that fell short of West Ham's £100m valuation.

Earlier, Manchester City, who had a £90m bid for Rice rejected just a day before, have decided to withdraw from the race for his signature.

Declan Rice, who joined West Ham's academy from Chelsea in 2014, has served as the captain of the Hammers. Under his leadership, the club recently achieved victory in the Europa Conference League, securing their first major trophy in 43 years.

The midfielder's contract with West Ham was originally set to expire in 2024. Arsenal's bid consists of an initial payment of £100m, with an additional £5m in potential add-ons. This initial fee matches the British record that Manchester City paid for midfielder Jack Grealish.

Notably, earlier this month, England midfielder Jude Bellingham completed a move to Real Madrid for an initial fee of £88.5m, which could potentially rise to £115m with activated add-ons.

Currently, the Premier League's most expensive signing stands at £107m (€121m), which Chelsea paid to Benfica for the transfer of Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez in January.

West Ham United has turned down a £90m offer from Manchester City, the reigning Treble winners, for their captain Declan Rice.

City's proposal reportedly included an £80m upfront payment, but fell short of West Ham's valuation of £100m for the talented midfielder.

Meanwhile, Arsenal is expected to make a third bid for Rice, as they continue their pursuit of the 24-year-old England international. West Ham had already rejected Arsenal's previous offer, which consisted of an initial payment of £75m spread across four installments, with an additional £15m in add-ons.

Rice's current contract with West Ham expires in 2024, although the club holds an option to extend it for an additional year until the summer of 2025.

Despite the Hammers' success in the Europa Conference League against Fiorentina, club chairman David Sullivan expressed his belief that Rice is likely to leave the club this summer, stating he was "99%" sure of his departure.

While City has already secured a £25m deal for Chelsea's Mateo Kovacic, the departure of Ilkay Gundogan to Barcelona has heightened Pep Guardiola's desire to reinforce his midfield options.

Rice is regarded as the ideal candidate to strengthen City's midfield ranks.
