Shanghai SIPG sign Arnautovic
West Ham have completed the sale of Marko Arnautovic to Shanghai SIPG for €25 million, according Sky sources.
Arnautovic, 30-year-old, passed a medical with the Chinese Super League side over the weekend with the deal expected to be made official early next week.
The Austria international will be heading to China permanently with personal terms understood to have been agreed.
He registered 21 goals in 59 Premier League matches in his 2 seasons at the club since arriving from Stoke City, and established himself as a fans' favourite at the London Stadium before asking to leave for the Chinese Super League in January.
After pushing for a move away, Arnautovic signed a contract extension which saw his wages rise by 20% to £120,000 per week, including a £40 million release clause, which expired on 14 June.
A sell-on clause means Arnautovic's former club, Stoke, will be due 20% of any fee above £20 million.

Leicester sign Tielemans
Leicester City have confirmed the signing of Youri Tielemans from AS Monaco for a club record £40 million on a 4-year deal.
Tielemans spent the second half of last season on loan at the King Power Stadium, making 13 appearances, scoring 3 goals and adding 4 assists.
His performances alerted a number of other top clubs, in the Premier League and Europe, but Leicester have worked hard to secure him on a permanent deal with Rodgers making him his top transfer target.
The 22-year-old is Brendan Rodgers' third signing of the summer following full-back James Justin's arrival from Luton and Ayoze Perez joining from Newcastle for £30 million.

Romero set for Juventus medical
Genoa defender Cristian Romero is set to undergo a medical with Juventus on Tuesday ahead of a move to the Serie A champions, Goal can confirm.
Following the medical, Romero will sign a contract through 2024 with Juve, but then return on loan with Genoa for the 2019-2020 season.
While Juve wait on the completion of a Matthijs de Ligt deal with Ajax and a €15 million move for former Sassuolo defender Merih Demiral already completed, Juve's depth chart in defence had already been filled out.
As it currently stands, there is no place for the 21-year-old Romero among those ranks this season.
Therefore, the Bianconeri have decided it is better for the Argentine's development to continue to feature at Genoa for the coming season, after making a strong impression in his debut campaign at the club.
Romero moved to Genoa last July for a reported €1,7 million fee from Argentine club Belgrano, and featured in 27 Serie A contests last season, all from the start, and scored 2 goals as his club narrowly avoided relegation.
The performances of the Argentina youth international attracted the interest of Juve sporting director Fabio Paratici.
Paratici wished to steal a march on the club's Serie A rivals for the promising defender and quickly was able to come to an agreement with Genoa.
Arsenal set to sign Saliba
Arsenal are set to sign William Saliba from Saint-Etienne after agreeing a deal in the region of £26,5 million for the defender.
The teenage centre-back has been a priority for the Gunners this summer and he will now travel to England to put pen-to-paper on a long-term contract at the Emirates Stadium.
The north Londoners' latest bid is an improvement on their original offer for the 18-year-old defender, amid suggestions that Tottenham were also ready to enter the race.
After sealing a switch to Arsenal, Saliba will, however, return to the Ligue 1 club on loan for the 2019-2020 season, rather than linking up with Unai Emery's side straight away.
Arsenal had been keen on using the centre-back for the coming season, but Saint-Etienne insisted that the deal would not take place unless he spent another year at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
The Gunners ultimately agreed to ensure that they got a deal done for the highly-rated youngster rather than risk losing him to another of Europe's top sides.
They also believe that another year playing regularly in Ligue 1 will ensure Saliba is ready to hit the ground running when he finally makes the move to England next summer.
The Gunners are working to a tight budget this summer and are understandably keen not to commit much of it to a player who will not be part of Emery's squad for the coming season.
Saliba enjoyed a breakthrough year in France during the 2018-2019 campaign, making 17 appearances in all competitions.
Emery is aiming to bring down the average age of his squad, which he felt ran out of legs during the final weeks of last season.

Espanyol sign Iturraspe
Espanyol have completed the signing of Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Iturraspe on a one-year contract, the club have confirmed.
The holding midfielder has spent the entirety of his professional career at the Basque club - scoring 3 goals across 320 appearances since his first-team debut in the 2008-2009 campaign.
Following the 2013-2014 season, Iturraspe was called up by Spanish national team manager Vicente Del Bosque to his 30-man provisional squad for the 2014 World Cup.
However, despite playing the full 90 minutes in a friendly victory over Bolivia - his first of 2 caps - the midfielder did not make the final squad for the tournament.
It had been confirmed in May that the midfielder would be departing alongside fellow long-serving midfielders Mikel Rico and Markel Susaeta this summer.
Iturraspe is the second summer arrival at the RCDE Stadium following the deal to land central defender Bernardo from fellow Catalan club Girona.
Espanyol will be competing in Europe next season for the first time since losing the 2007 UEFA Cup Final against FC Sevilla.
Napoli agree Elmas deal
Sport Mediaset is reporting Fenerbahce midfielder Eljif Elmas will undergo a medical with Napoli by Wednesday.
The deal accelerated on Tuesday, with several outlets in agreement that Napoli had agreed to sign Elmas for €15 million plus bonuses.
Sport Mediaset has now gone further, claiming the 19-year-old is certain to be a Partenopei player next season and that he will have medical tests tomorrow.
He should replace Amadou Diawara, who joined AS Roma in exchange for Kostas Manolas, while fellow midfielder Marko Rog seems destined for the exit door.
Roma to sign goalkeeper Lopez
Real Betis goalkeeper Pau Lopez has arrived in Rome ahead of undergoing a medical at AS Roma in a deal worth €24 million, claim reports.
The Spain international goalkeeper was pictured with a scarf of the Italian club in the capital's airport on Monday morning, with his transfer nearing completion.
The fee for the transfer will see Los Verdiblancos receive €24 million but they will also be given the remaining 50% rights of striker Antonio Sanabria - currently on loan at Genoa, which will boost the "real value" of the deal above €30 million, according to El Mundo Deportivo.
The 24-year-old made 35 first-team appearances for Los Verdiblancos last season having joined on a free transfer from Espanyol last summer.
Lopez has emerged as one of the best goalkeepers in Spain's top flight and indeed is third choice at international level behind England-based Kepa Arrizabalaga and David De Gea.

Toljan to Sassuolo, Lirola to Fiorentina
Sassuolo have agreed a deal to sign Borussia Dortmund right-back Jeremy Toljan, freeing Pol Lirola up for Fiorentina.
Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia both report Toljan will join Sassuolo on a season-long loan, with the former adding there is an option to buy in place.
The 24-year-old struggled for first-team football in his 2 seasons at Dortmund and ended the previous campaign on loan at Celtic.
Sportitalia, meanwhile, expects the move to allow Lirola to finalise a switch to Fiorentina.
The Spaniard is seeking a new challenge in his career and now looks headed for the Viola, who will shell out than €10 million plus bonuses.
Sampdoria sign Murillo on loan
Sampdoria are closing in on Valencia defender Jeison Murillo.
Sky Sport Italia claims Murillo will return to Italy with the Ligurians paying €2 million for a season-long loan and €12 million next summer.
The Colombian began his professional career at Udinese and spent 2 seasons at Inter, making 69 appearances in all competitions.
He then moved to Valencia in 2017, helping them qualify for the Champions League, but has struggled with injuries and played just 4 times during a loan spell for FC Barcelona last term.
Marcano seals return to Porto
AS Roma defender Ivan Marcano left the training camp so he could finalise a return to FC Porto, claim reports in Italy.
The 32-year-old centre-back was not present at Trigoria today for the first training session of the pre-season.
According to LaRoma24, this is because he is back in Portugal where he is ready to sign for his old club FC Porto.
It's a return to the side where he spent 4 years until leaving last summer as a free agent.
Marcano made only 13 competitive appearances in a Giallorossi jersey, scoring one goal.

Rangers to sign Helander
Glasgow Rangers are closing in on the signing of Filip Helander after the Bologna defender agreed personal terms with the Scottish Premiership side.
Rangers have been searching for an international centre-back this summer, and sources close to the player have confirmed to Goal that the Swede has agreed to a 3-year deal at Ibrox Park.
The Scottish giants, managed by former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, have yet to agree a transfer fee with Bologna for the player, but it is understood that an offer in the region of €4 million should be enough to get the deal over the line.
Helander has been playing his football in Italy for 4 years, having first joined Hellas Verona from his first club Malmo in 2015.
After one season at Verona, he then moved onto Bologna where he made 60 Serie A appearances over 3 seasons, scoring one goal.
However, the giant defender struggled to find consistent playing time last season after Sinisa Mihajlovic replaced Filippo Inzaghi as coach.
Helander has been capped 10 times by his country and was part of Jan Andersson's squad at the 2018 World Cup after famously eliminating Italy in a qualification play-off. Sweden would end up reaching the quarter-finals in Russia, losing 2-0 to England.
Sevilla to sign Fernando
FC Sevilla have closed a deal to sign Galatasaray midfielder Fernando for a fee in the region of €4 million, report ABC de Sevilla.
The Brazilian midfielder is in the final year of his contract at the Turkish giants and he is said by the report to be the number 1 option for Los Rojiblancos, who are aiming to land a deep-lying midfielder.
This is set to be the latest move in the shake-up of the first-team squad at the Andalusian club with Monchi returning as sporting director and Julen Lopetegui now in the dugout.
Sevilla have already made a host of signings this summer with Moanes Dabbur, Diego Carlos, Jules Kunde, Luuk de Jong, Joan Jordan and Lucas Ocampos already signed, with Fernando now set to be number 8 to arrive.
Fernando previously played for FC Porto and Manchester City prior to his 2017 move to Istanbul.

Atletico sign Ivan Saponjic
Atletico Madrid have signed Serbia U21 striker Ivan Saponjic from Benfica on a 3-year contract, the club have announced.
Neither club disclosed the fee paid for the 21-year-old but the deal is reported to be worth in the region of €8 million.
A physically imposing forward, Saponjic will provide an extra attacking option for coach Diego Simeone alongside Diego Costa, Alvaro Morata and record signing Joao Felix, who also arrived from Benfica.
But while the Portugal international starred in the club's Primeira Liga triumph in the 2018-2019 season, Saponjic played for Benfica B after joining from Partizan Belgrade in January 2016 and spent the 2017-2018 campaign on loan with Zulte Waregem.
The 21-year-old Serb joined Partizan from Sloboda Uzice as a youth player in 2013, working his way up to the first team where he made his competetive debut in 2014.
He scored 11 times in 42 appearances for the Serb giants, starring as they won the Serbian Cup in 2015 and forcing his way into the U21 side of the Serbian national team.
He failed to make an appearance in Benfica's first team after swapping Belgrade for Lisbon, but managed to net 8 times in 40 appearances for the B team before loaned out to Belgium in 2017.

Inter sign Barella
Inter Milano have announced the signing of Nicolo Barella from Cagliari on an initial one-year loan, with an obligation to buy at the end of that period.
Barella will spend the 2019-2020 season at Meazza before joining the Nerazzurri permanently on a 5-year contract.
Inter have beat a host of clubs to Barella's signature, with Chelsea and Liverpool among the many teams linked with the midfielder.
Inter are reported to have paid a €12 million loan fee for Barella, who will then cost €25 million next year, with the deal including a potential €13 million in add-ons, taking the transfer to a total value of €50 million.
Barella, 22-year-old, has won 7 senior caps for Italy and was part of the squad that underperformed last month at the European U21 Championship.
Fulham sign Cavaleiro on loan
Ivan Cavaleiro is set to have a medical at Fulham today ahead of a season-long loan move from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The deal also includes an option to buy, Sky Sports News understands.
The winger, who made 23 appearances in the Premier League last season, had been named in Wolves' squad to play in the Asia Trophy but is now heading to London instead.
The Portuguese international was part of the Wolverhampton side that won the Championship in 2017-2018.
Cavaleiro is the second Wolverhampton winger to move on loan to the Championship, with Helder Costa completing his move to Leeds last week.
Ianis Hagi a semnat cu Genk
Ianis Hagi a fost prezentat oficial la Genk. Belgienii au postat și prima poză cu jucătorul de 20 de ani, iar anunțul a fost făcut și pe site-ul oficial al Viitorului. Internaționalul român a semnat un contract valabil până în 2024.
În pozele publicate de dobrogeni, Ianis apare alături de tatăl său, Gică Popescu, George Ogăraru, dar și al câtorva oficiali ai belgienilor.
Chiar dacă nu s-a menţionat suma oficială de transfer, jurnaliștii belgieni au înaintat varianta de €8 milioane cu bonusuri incluse.
Se pare că Hagi ar fi primit o ofertă de €10 milioane și de la Spartak Moscova, însă fostul mare jucător român a refuzat-o. Potrivit presei din Rusia, Gică Hagi ar fi solicitat €12 milioane și un salariu de €2 milioane pe an pentru Ianis.

Dalian Yifang to sign Rondon
Rafael Benitez's new side Dalian Yifang have agreed a deal with West Bromwich Albion to sign Salomon Rondon, Sky Sports News understands.
The Chinese Super League club are now in discussions with the Venezuela striker and a deal could be agreed with him by Wednesday.
Rondon is said to be keen on working with Benitez again, having played under him on loan at Newcastle last season.
The 29-year-old's contract at West Bromwich has a release clause of £16,5 million.
Benitez became Dalian manager in early July after deciding not to sign a new contract at St. James' Park.
Joselu joins Alaves
Striker Joselu has completed a permanent move from Newcastle to Deportivo Alaves.
The 29-year-old forward has joined the Spanish side for an undisclosed fee, bringing his 2-year stay at St. James' Park to an end.
Joselu, who signed for the Magpies from Stoke City in August 2017, scored 7 goals in 52 appearances for the club.
His departure further limits Newcastle's forward options.
The club's top scorer last season, Ayoze Perez, who scored 13 goals, joined Leicester in a £30 million deal earlier this month.
Newcastle's next highest scorers were defenders Fabian Schar, who scored 4 goals, and Ciaran Clark, who got 3.

Inglese completes Parma move
Roberto Inglese has officially joined Parma on loan with obligation to buy at the end of the season from Napoli.
The deal is believed to be worth €2 million for the loan, plus €18 million purchase in June 2020 and a further €2 million in performance-related bonuses.
It is a return for the 27-year-old, who spent last season at the Stadio Tardini, scoring 9 goals in 25 Serie A games.
Napoli signed Inglese from Chievo for €12 million in 2017, but he never actually played for the Partenopei, staying on loan at Chievo and then going to Parma.
The centre-forward has signed a contract with the Ducali to June 2024.
Parma set for Atalanta double deal
Parma have reportedly clinched a double deal for Atalanta pair Andreas Cornelius and Dejan Kulusevski.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport's Nicolo Schira, the duo are on their way to Parma after negotiations ended successfully on Tuesday.
Schira writes Cornelius will join the Ducali for €6,5 million, while Kulusevski will move on a season-long loan.
Cornelius is surplus to requirements in Bergamo, having managed just 3 goals in Ligue 1 for Girondins Bordeaux last season.
The Denmark striker joined La Dea from FC Copenhagen in the summer of 2017 for around €3,5 million.
Kulusevski, on the other hand, is a highly-rated midfielder who scored 8 goals and provided 10 assists to help Atalanta win the Primavera Serie A title last season.
The 19-year-old is a Sweden U21 international, although he can still represent Macedonia at senior level.

Haller cleared to complete move to West Ham
Sebastien Haller has been cleared to complete a £40 million move to West Ham, with Eintracht Frankfurt announcing that terms have been agreed on a big-money transfer.
The 25-year-old is set to undergo a medical in England before the formalities of a big-money deal are wrapped up.
If an agreement goes through as planned, then the Frenchman will become the Hammers' record signing.
Felipe Anderson, who joined from Lazio in the summer of 2018 for £36 million tops that particular chart at present.
West Ham are, however, prepared to splash the cash again in order to bring much-needed firepower into the London Stadium.
Manuel Pellegrini has been left alarmingly short in that department since the 2018-2019 campaign came to a close.
Andy Carroll and Lucas Perez were released by the Hammers, with the decision taken to head in a different direction.
Marko Arnautovic, after much speculation surrounding his future since the turn of the year, then completed a switch to Shanghai SIPG.
Javier Hernandez and Jordan Hugill have been left as the only senior strikers on West Ham's books.
That has forced the Hammers towards Haller, who has proven his worth across 2 years in Germany.
He recorded 20 goals in 41 appearances last season, as Eintracht impressed in the Bundesliga and Europa League.
Leipzig agree deal for Lookman
Everton and RasenBallsport Leipzig have agreed a deal for Ademola Lookman, Sky Sports News understands.
The deal is set to be worth up to £22,5 million and is likely to go through within the next 24 hours.
Lookman, who spent the end of the 2017-2018 season on loan at Leipzig, made just 3 Premier League starts under Marco Silva last season.
The 21-year-old arrived at Goodison Park from Charlton in January 2017, signing a contract until 2021.
Lookman won the U20 World Cup with England in 2017, but missed out on a spot in the England U21 squad for the European Championships this summer.

Atletico agree deal with for Kieran Trippier
Atletico Madrid have agreed a €24 million deal with Tottenham Hotspur to sign Kieran Trippier, Sky Sports News understands.
Spurs were offered the chance to sign striker Angel Correa during negotiations but have instead opted for a straight cash deal.
Trippier is due in Spain on Wednesday to undergo a medical and there is confidence on all sides that the transfer can be completed by the weekend.
