All Football takes a look at the biggest transfer news and rumours from all across Europe.

Man Utd hope to announce Bruno Fernandes move ASAP

Manchester United have made progress in talks to sign Bruno Fernandes and hope to close the £60million deal out by Friday evening.

Sky Sports claims Manchester United are close to reaching an agreement with Sporting Lisbon to sign Bruno Fernandes in a deal which could be worth up to £60m. 

It is understood that the Portuguese could complete his move after his final appearance for Sporting in Friday's derby with Benfica in Lisbon. United will pay £43m up front for the Portugal international with an extra £17m in potential add-ons. 

Fernandes was set to feature in Friday's clash with rivals Benfica, but the report claims he could now miss the match with the deal close to being completed.

Rakitic swap for Bernardeschi?

Reports in Spain and Italy suggest Juventus could try to bring Ivan Rakitic from Barcelona in exchange for Federico Bernardeschi.

Now La Repubblica newspaper, Calciomercato.com, Fichajes.net and Calciomercato.it are pushing the revival of this idea for the January transfer window.

Both players are struggling for time due to their tactical positions and would relish a new lease of life elsewhere.

Milan to sign Dani Olmo soon

Croatian outlet Sportske Novosti states The Spain international Olmo could even fly to Italy in the next 24 hours, with the Rossoneri having tabled an offer of €20m plus €5m bonuses.

Di Marzio confirms that the player wants the move and that the Rossoneri are in talks with both his agent and executives from the Croatian club.

Cavani wants Atletico move

Edinson Cavani is ready to ask Paris Saint-Germain to drop him for the second game in a row ahead of the Parisians' match against Lorient in the Coupe de France on Sunday.

His idea is to force the club's board to drop their demands, with Cavani desperate to join Atletico Madrid in January.

The Uruguayan's contract draws to a close in the summer, but PSG are only willing to let him leave before January 31 if someone meets their asking price of 30 million euros.

Arsenal interested in Kessie

It was reported by Sky Italia that the Gunners are keen on a move for Kessie, who faces an uncertain future with the Rossoneri despite having been a starter for most of the season.

According to SportMediaset, Arsenal have indeed made enquiries about signing Kessie during the January transfer window and have been quoted a price of €25m, money that could be used to find his replacement.

Despite this, Milan still prefer the idea of a swap deal with rivals Inter involving Matias Vecino, who continues to be strongly linked with a move to Spurs.

PSG set Kurzawa asking price for Arsenal

L'Equipe reports Arsenal will have to pay between £4.2m and £6m if they are to sign Kurzawa during the transfer window.

Kurzawa is believed to have interest from across Europe, particularly from both Inter and AC Milan.
