Welcome to the Mirror Football Transfer Blog for Wednesday 8th July.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Arsenal have reportedly booked a medical for Ilan Meslier as they search for a new backup goalkeeper for David Raya. Kepa Arrizabalaga is said to be heading for the exit to play more consistent first-team football after realizing his cup appearances will be limited in the 2025\/26 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">As a result, the Gunners are keen to pursue Meslier, who left Leeds United as a free agent when his contract expired. The 26-year-old did not make a single senior appearance for the Peacocks last season, scoring six goals in two games as a substitute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Meanwhile, Manchester United are said to be targeting Real Madrid&#8217;s Aurelien Choameni. The Red Devils are still looking to strengthen their midfield after losing Elliott Anderson and Matheus Fernandes to Manchester City and Spurs respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">While Ederson&#8217;s arrival from Atalanta is almost certain, Michael Carrick is clearly looking for a number of star players to fill Casemiro&#8217;s void. As a result, United have started talks about a move for Choameni, but the deal will not come cheap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">It has been suggested that the transfer would be worth at least \u00a368 million if successful, underscoring the importance of the 26-year-old Frenchman to Los Blancos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Elsewhere, Liverpool have made initial inquiries about the possibility of signing Gilberto Mora from Club Tijuana following his impressive performance in the World Cup against Mexico. It is understood the 17-year-old attacking midfielder has a release clause of around \u00a318m in his current contract, which runs until 2029.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Stay with us throughout the day as we bring you the latest transfer updates&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/football\/news\/transfer-live-updates-manchester-united-37401883\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello.
