Manchester United have agreed to buy Antony from Ajax for €100 million.

Erik Ten Hag wants the Brazilian to strengthen his striking options. The manager has Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Elanga, Anthony Martial and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The fee for Antony surpasses the £80 million United paid Leicester to sign Harry Maguire in July 2019 but falls short of the £93.2 million spent on Pogba in August 2016.

Antonio Conte says he needs at least two more transfer windows to turn Tottenham into Premier League title challengers.

Spurs sit third, level on points with Manchester City.

“If you compare to last season, we are more complete,” said Conte. “But to reach other teams at the top level we need time, patience and transfer markets, at least two transfer markets to reach the same level.”

Spurs have made a host of signings this summer, the most high-profile being those of Richarlison from Everton, Yves Bissouma from Brighton, Ivan Perisic from Internazionale and Clément Lenglet on loan from Barcelona.

“I spoke with the club and told them my opinion, but if we do something or not it’s OK.

“With the new players, we started to work with them in only one month and a half. And I think at the end my choices were good because we got four good results in the first four games. Now when you have to go and play one game every three days, it’s normal to make rotation, the players to be intelligent to understand that they have to sometimes go on the bench, come in, alternate. And this is the period that the club can understand if we are really, really complete in the squad or maybe we could do better.”

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was assaulted as an armed gang equipped with iron bars targeted his house in Barcelona.

Aubameyang and his wife were handcuffed and tied up for a sustained period during the burglary, although club sources say neither suffered serious injuries.

The house is about 200 metres away from properties still owned by ex-Barca stars Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, who both use private security firms to safeguard their homes.

The gang forced him to open a safe that contained jewelry, among other expensive items, which they took.

The gang have not yet been caught, according to police sources.

Arsenal will loan Nicolas Pepe to Nice.

Pepe's departure is a reflection of his minimal impact since making a club-record £72 million move from Lille in 2019.

Pepe has scored 27 goals in 112 appearances but started just five games last season as manager Mikel Arteta preferred Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe among others in Arsenal's wide positions.

Newcastle United have agreed to sign striker Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad for €70 million including €5m in add-ons.

Isak joined Sociedad in the summer of 2019 from Borussia Dortmund for €10m and, after spending four years at the club, becomes Sociedad's most expensive departure of all time.

Isak is set to become Newcastle's fifth arrival this summer, with Matt Targett, Nick Pope, Sven Botman and Charlie McArthur also moving to St James' Park.

Chelsea suffered a convincing 3-0 loss to Leeds on Sunday, but Thomas Tuchel downplayed the necessity to make signings ahead of the end of the transfer window.

Tuchel has previously said Chelsea were looking to bolster their ranks before the end of the transfer window, with a central defender and a striker the priorities, but would not resort to panic buying.

"The transfer period is still open and it gets later and later and we need to focus on what we have and what we can do," Tuchel told reporters after the match at Leeds.

CBS has extended its Champions League deal at $250 million per year through 2030, which represents an increase of 250 percent of the previous deal.

The current Paramount deal is for $100 million per season for the English language rights for 2021-24.

In May, CBS drew a U.S.-record for a Champions League final broadcast in English with a 2.76 million average audience for Real Madrid's 1-0 win over Liverpool.

Carlo Ancelotti conceded Casemiro wants to join Manchester United.

Casemiro has spent nine seasons with Real Madrid, winning five Champions League

Casemiro, 30, is expected to receive a substantial pay increase at United, who have been looking to strengthen their squad after losing the first two games of the Premier League season.

"I talked about it with [Casemiro] this morning," Ancelotti said in a news conference on Friday ahead of Madrid's LaLiga game at Celta Vigo. "He wants to try a new challenge, a new opportunity. The club and I understand it. Casemiro -- with what he's done at this club, and with the person he is -- we have to respect this desire he has.

"There are negotiations right now. Nothing is official, he's still a Real Madrid player, but he wants to leave. If he goes and reaches an agreement, we have the resources to replace him."

Nottingham Forest have agreed a club-record deal to sign Morgan Gibbs-White from Wolves. The winger will cost £35 million ($42 million) plus add-ons.

The 22-year-old impressed in the Championship last season on loan at Sheffield United.

The arrival of Gibbs-White means Forest are not pursuing a deal for Brighton’s Neal Maupay despite making an offer for the striker last week.
