Manchester United are not planning a massive spend on transfers this summer, even if the Qatar takeover bid is successful.

Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani made his offer to buy the club public on Friday with the promise to "return United to its former glories both on and off the pitch."

United spent more than £200 million to bolster Erik ten Hag's squad last summer but were restricted to three loan signings in the January window.

Dropping out of the Champions League and a lack of significant player departures has meant United are keeping a close eye on FFP compliance.

Leeds United hope to convince Barcelona winger Ilias Akhomach to leave the club.

Ilias is out of contract in June as he has been unable to agree to terms with Barcelona.

Leeds' interest is being led by sporting director Victor Orta, who knows the Spanish market well.

Lionel Messi's father, Jorge Messi, said it is unlikely his son returns to play for Barcelona again.

Messi left Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 due to his longtime club's financial problems.

Messi is in talks to sign a contract extension with PSG, with his current deal set to end in June. Messi has agreed in principle to remain with PSG, but an acceptable offer has yet to be presented.

The new deal could be a straight one-year extension or one year with an option for a further 12 months.

Real Madrid are tracking Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur's Richarlison as options to strengthen their attack.

Carlo Ancelotti has had to rely on Karim Benzema, 35, to lead the line this season, turning to Rodrygo Goes when Benzema has been unavailable. 

Madrid received positive reports on Vlahovic during his time at Fiorentina, before he joined Juventus in a €81.6m deal in January 2022.
