The English club’s head coach Erik ten Hag is said to want a wide forward and a central striker before the deadline, with Cristiano Ronaldo potentially being allowed to move on.

The report claims that Everton have also been contacted, in addition to Juventuswho are said to be long-term admirers of the former Napoli striker.
Milik, who has scored 16 times in 62 caps for Poland, joined Bayer Leverkusen from Gornik Zabrze in 2013, while he also played for Ajax and Napoli ahead of a move to Marseille in 2021, initially on loan.
The striker, who has only just completed a permanent move to his current side, has scored 30 goals and registered three assists in 55 appearances for the French outfit.
Last term, Milik scored 20 goals and registered two assists in 37 games for Marseille, including seven in 23 Ligue 1 appearances.

Ronaldo is being heavily linked with a return to Sporting Lisbon, as Man United are now open to the idea of letting the 37-year-old leave due to the disruption that is being caused.
Ajax’s Antony is said to still be a target for the 20-time English champions, with the club potentially making an offer for the Brazil international late in the transfer window.
A new right-back and two central midfielders are also allegedly wanted by the Red Devils, with Real Madrid’s Casemiro currently being linked with a switch to Old Trafford.
Ten Hag will also hope to have Anthony Martial available for selection against Liverpool on Monday night, with the Frenchman missing out against Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford in the early stages of the new season due to a hamstring problem that he picked up over the summer.
