Here’s a roundup of the latest transfer news and rumors:
Manchester United:
Patrick Dorgu Bid Rejected: Manchester United are expected to return with an improved bid for Lecce’s left-back, Patrick Dorgu, after their initial offer of £23 million plus add-ons was rejected.

Chelsea:
Douglas Luiz Loan Offer: Chelsea have made a loan offer for Douglas Luiz for the remainder of the season. Juventus, who signed Luiz for £42 million just six months ago, are reportedly open to letting the midfielder leave.
Boost in Pursuit of Alejandro Garnacho: Chelsea’s chances of signing Alejandro Garnacho have improved as Napoli shifts its focus to alternative targets.
