Deadline day LIVE! Follow every transfer rumour and done deal across England and Europe
Welcome to Sports Mole's live coverage of summer 2024 transfer deadline day!
Stick with us to follow every twist, turn, done deal and rumour throughout England and Europe as clubs race to get their final pieces of business done before the window slams shut.
The deadline for English deals to go through is 11pm tonight, and some major moves are still expected to take place before that with plenty of big clubs seeking reinforcements or looking to offload players, and many big names expected to be part of that.
De Bruyne has won 14 major trophies with the Citizens, including six Premier League titles and one Champions League, while the Belgian playmaker ranks second on the all-time PL assists charts (118), only behind Ryan Giggs (162).
The 32-year-old joined the Citizens on a free transfer from Arminia Bielefeld in July 2022 and has since made 50 appearances across all competitions, winning seven trophies including two Premier League titles, one FA Cup and one Champions League.
However, the majority of Ortega's spell at the Etihad Stadium has seen him play second fiddle to first-choice shot-stopper Ederson, with the uncapped German starting just 10 Premier League games this season.
Last summer, Ortega was persuaded to sign a new two-year contract at Man City until 2026, but speculation over his long-term future with Pep Guardiola's side has since surfaced.
Leeds 'closely interested' in centre-back at club destined for relegation
Leeds United have reportedly identified a Ligue 1 defender as a potential transfer target for the summer transfer window.
The Yorkshire giants are currently bidding to earn a return to the Premier League at the second time of asking, even with their promotion bid losing momentum in recent weeks.
A run of just one win in six matches, as well as three consecutive draws, have Daniel Farke's side sitting in third place in the Championship table, albeit just one point adrift of the automatic promotion spots.
With six matches remaining, full focus is on trying to edge out the likes of Burnley and Sheffield United, but plans for a potential top-flight campaign also need to be considered.
The Germany international has spent almost five years at the Allianz Arena and has made a total of 212 appearances for Bayern across all competitions, scoring 59 goals and registering 52 assists.
Sane, a three-time Bundesliga champions who is hoping to win a fourth this term, has chipped in with 11 goals and five assists in 37 games so far this season, featuring regularly under head coach Vincent Kompany.
However, the 29-year-old is facing an uncertain future at Bayern as he is currently due to see his contract expire at the end of June, and negotiations over an extension are yet to reach an advanced stage.
Advantage Man United: Chelsea 'step back' from race to sign in-demand striker
Chelsea have reportedly withdrawn from the race to sign in-demand striker Victor Osimhen ahead of the summer transfer window.
The West Londoners were heavily linked with a big-money move to sign the 26-year-old, among other high-profile targets, last summer, but a transfer to Stamford Bridge ultimately failed to materialise.
After seeing a deal to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli fall through, Osimhen was determined to leave Napoli and eventually completed a season-long loan move to Turkish giants Galatasaray.
Osimhen has enjoyed a prolific 2024-25 campaign in front of goal, netting 28 times in 32 appearances across all competitions for a Galatasaray side who sit three points clear at the top of the Turkish Super Lig and are still in with a chance of winning the Turkish Cup.
