Transfer news LIVE: Haaland speaks on Dortmund future

 

Welcome to the 90min Saturday live blog – where we’re talking all things transfers.

The chatter should die down a little this weekend as games take place all over Europe, but there’s still plenty to sink our teeth into – particularly now Erling Haaland has revealed Borussia Dortmund are putting pressure on him to sign a new deal.

There’s also talk of a new short-term contract for Kylian Mbappe at PSG, which may force long-term admirers Real Madrid to pay a fee should they want to sign him this summer.

Philippe Coutinho’s move to Aston Villa remains the most high-profile deal of the window so far, but expect to see a few more big names sort their future between now and the end of the month.
