Atletico Madrid have reduced the asking price of Arsenal and Manchester United target Joao Felix.

But a condition of the deal is that the buying club covers his entire wage until the end of the season.

The two Premier League sides now stand better chances of sealing an amazing bargain transfer for Felix.

The Portuguese forward is certain to leave the Spanish side in January as the player’s relationship with manager Diego Simeone is at breaking point.

The Liga side also need to get the World Cup star off their payroll to stay within Financial Fair Play regulations.

Arsenal and Manchester United are especially interested in the forward, while Chelsea are also said to be monitoring the situation.

Arsenal are in search of an attacking player following a long-term injury to Gabriel Jesus, while Manchester United need to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.

Atletico were asking for as huge as the €126million (£108m) they paid Benfica for him in 2019.

And since neither club are likely to splash that much cash on a single player, it seems that the La Liga side have realised they must lower their expectation.

The Daily Record reports that Atletico will allow Felix to leave on loan for a fee of just £8 million as long as the buying club covers his entire wage til the end of the season.

The 23-year-old reportedly earns just under £250,000-a-week.

Chelsea are set to sanction their first summer transfer under their new manager, Xabi Alonso.

According to the BBC Sport, the Blues are ‘open’ to selling Filip Jorgensen this summer after the goalkeeper indicated his desire to leave Stamford Bridge.

Jorgensen joined the Premier League west London club two seasons ago from Villarreal.

The 24-year-old shot-stopper was expected to compete for the number one position with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, but he made just 11 Premier League appearances over the two seasons.

However, while the arrival of Alonso to Stamford Bridge could lead to a change in fortunes for Jorgensen, the report added that the Danish star has already expressed his desire to leave Chelsea this summer to get more regular playing game-time elsewhere.

Chelsea had blocked a potential exit for Jorgensen in the January transfer window, but the Premier League west London club are now open to a sale, with European and English clubs expected to explore a deal for the goalkeeper.

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
