Liverpool reportedly accept £27.5m Brentford bid for Carvalho
Brentford have agreed a £27.5m deal to sign Liverpool's Fabio Carvalho, according to the PA news agency.
The transfer package reportedly includes a number of easily-achievable incentives and a 17.5 per cent sell-on clause.
However, as part of the £5m deal which took the Portuguese to Anfield in 2022, Fulham are due 20 per cent of the fee the Bees are paying.
Carvalho spent last season out on loan at first RB Leipzig and then Hull, scoring nine goals in 20 Championship games for the latter.
Thorup: Rowe withdrawal hampered Norwich at Oxford
New Norwich boss Johannes Hoff Thorup said Jonathan Rowe’s decision to withdraw from the squad on the morning of the 2-0 defeat at Championship newcomers Oxford had a big impact on his team.
The 21-year-old winger has been linked with a move away from Carrow Road during the summer transfer window and was absent at the Kassam Stadium after a reported bid from Marseille on Friday.
A goal in each half by Mark Harris and Cameron Brannagan condemned Thorup to defeat in his first game in charge of City.
The Dane said: “It was too late a decision. It should not happen on game days, of course. It’s fair to say it can have some effect on the group and on the performance level.
“These things can happen, it can also be an injury in the warm-up and you have to find the best possible solution.
“I think it’s positive that we have players who are interesting to other clubs. We have to be prepared that something can happen – not just with Jonny but with others in the rest of the window now.
“You need to prepare for more or less everything when the transfer window is open. But it was not ideal and if I were a teammate I would not be happy about the situation.
“My next plan is to have a conversation with Jonny on what happened today – and how can we continue moving forward.”
Bournemouth agree deal to sign Barcelona's Araujo
Latest from Sky Sports' Mark McAdam:
Bournemouth have agreed an £8m deal with Barcelona for defender Julian Araujo.

Bournemouth turn sights to Solanke replacement
Bournemouth now turn their attention to his replacement and, according to PA Media, they have been actively working on alternatives for Dominic Solanke under the proviso that he could leave after an impressive season.
Cherries chief executive Neill Blake paid tribute to Solanke, who scored 77 goals in 214 appearances for the south-coast club.
Blake said: “After Dominic’s performances for us – in particular his impressive 2023-24 season – it has come as no surprise that a team of Tottenham’s calibre has shown an interest.
“This move has developed quickly but Dominic has remained professional throughout and I’d like to thank him for that.
“His development since arriving in 2019 is a credit to his work rate and endeavour, as well as the platform AFC Bournemouth gives young talent to grow.
“We’re pleased to secure a club-record fee for Dominic and he also leaves with everyone’s sincere well wishes at AFC Bournemouth.”

De Ligt news will delight Man Utd fans
Sky Sports' Nick Wright at Wembley ahead of Man Utd's game against Man City in the Community Shield:
"Jonny Evans has served the club well since his return last year but his presence in the team today, at 36, combined with the injury to new signing Leny Yoro, underlines the need for reinforcements in central defence.
"Bayern Munich's Matthijs de Ligt fits the bill. The Netherlands international is well-known to Erik ten Hag, his former boss at Ajax, and, at 24, he should have his peak years ahead of him.
"The deal to bring him to the club comes too late for any kind of involvement today, of course, but it is a timely boost ahead of the Premier League campaign, especially with Noussair Mazraoui set to follow."
