Today's biggest transfer stories
Free agent Mohamed Salah is being lined up by ambitious MLS franchise Sporting Kansas City. The Egyptian star, 34, is without a club after mutually terminating his Liverpool contract a year early, and he could be set for a move Stateside in the final years of his career. Saudi clubs are also chasing the Reds icon.
Manchester United and Liverpool have approached Wolves over a move for João Gomes, according to reports. The 25-year-old was due to seal a move to Atletico Madrid but the deal has fallen through, meaning the Brazilian may end up staying in England.
