Live Coverage: Transfer Talk - July 14

Good morning everyone! We're gearing up for what could be another busy day of transfer activity. No prizes for guessing who dominated the headlines yesterday... Manchester United. Louis van Gaal added both Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin to his squad, literally within minutes of one another! Another good sign for United fans is that David de Gea [flew out] with his teammates to the United States for their pre-season tour, which indicates that he might not be signing for Real Madrid after all. Everything can change in an instant in transfer world though, so we'll keep an eye on that one.

Raheem Sterling was also a dominant presence in the transfer gossip pages (when hasn't he been this summer?!). Reports yesterday claimed that the 20-year-old was [having a medical] with Manchester City ahead of a £49m move from Liverpool. We are yet to hear anymore on this transfer, but I imagine that it's only a matter of time before we see Sterling in sky blue.

It was not that long ago when Xherdan Shaqiri seemed to be on the move to Stoke City. After the Potters agreed a £12m fee with Inter Milan, everything appeared to be moving in the right direction, but it is believed that the Premier League club failed to agree terms with the player. Today, Stoke manager Mark Hughes spoke about the situation and admitted that a transfer is unlikely to happen.
