Transfer news LIVE: Vini Jr to Arsenal latest, Man Utd's Manu Kone move, Yan Diomande deal

Welcome to Mirror Football's transfer news live blog on Sunday, July 26.

Arsenal are exploring a move for Vinicius Junior after receiving approval from the club's hierarchy, as first reported by The Athletic. Talks with Real Madrid have yet to take place, but The Telegraph claims that their new head coach, Jose Mourinho, would oppose the move.

Madrid, meanwhile, have verbally agreed on personal terms with Yan Diomande, according to Sky Germany. Paris Saint-Germain also reportedly reached a deal with him last month, but the Spanish side are now said to be in pole position.

Over in Italy, La Gazzetta dello Sport claims Manchester United are offering Marcus Rashford to Roma in an attempt to reduce the transfer fee for Manu Kone. However, the sports newspaper describes any deal as unlikely due to the player's £325,000-a-week wages.

Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Axel Donczew, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Real Madrid have become the second club to reach a verbal agreement with Yan Diomande, according to Sky Germany.

Paris Saint-Germain are also said to have agreed personal terms with the Ivory Coast international last month. However, they have yet to make an offer verbally to RB Leipzig for Diomande, unlike Madrid, who had a £85million bid turned down last week.

Manchester United have offered Marcus Rashford to Roma in their pursuit of Manu Kone, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

United are reportedly trying to reduce the £50million asking price by proposing that the England international moves to Italy's capital. It is said that his inclusion could be key to a deal, but it appears a loan move would be necessary for Roma financially.

Jose Mourinho would oppose Vinicius Junior leaving Real Madrid this summer, according to The Telegraph.

Arsenal are exploring a deal for the Brazil international, as first reported by The Athletic. The Gunners are said to have approval from their hierarchy to pursue a move, but club-to-club talks have yet to take place.

The summer transfer window has now been open for almost seven weeks and there are still plenty of huge moves that could happen before deadline day.

All eyes are on Real Madrid at the moment, with the focus on Vinicius Junior's future as Jose Mourinho's side try to sign Yan Diomande. Arsenal are exploring a move for the Brazil international, while Liverpool, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are all credited with an interest in the teenage RB Leipzig forward.
