The Premier League season officially kicks off today, but all eyes are still on the summer transfer window, which has until the 1st of September to run.
Here at CaughtOffside we’ll be making it our mission to keep you up to date and informed on the sagas that matter, working together with top tier journalists like Fabrizio Romano, Christian Falk, Alfredo Pedulla, and Charles Watts, as well as reporting on our own findings through our connections with the agents industry.

While this does not yet translate to personal terms being fully agreed, it means the Red Devils have been given encouragement by the player and those around him to pursue a move now.
Fabrizio Romano has since confirmed that United “keep working” on the Baleba deal, even if it’s anticipated to be a difficult deal to strike with Brighton.
