Fulham have agreed a deal with Burnley for Manchester United target Sander Berge.

The initial fee is £20m plus £5m in performance-related add-ons and Berge is scheduled to have a medical on Tuesday morning.

United had been keeping dialogue open with Burnley for Berge, who has three years left on his contract at Burnley and was a shining light in the Clarets’ midfield last season but could not prevent them suffering relegation back to the Championship.

Marco Silva’s side are in the market for a midfielder and it’s understood they made a similar offer for Man Utd’s Scott McTominay when they re-opened talks late last week.

United are understood to be happy to keep McTominay.

Napoli also retain an interest in McTominay. However, their focus is on signing Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku. Any further incomings are likely to depend on the sale of Victor Osimhen.

The possible sale of McTominay would help in Manchester United’s recruitment of a midfielder.

Manuel Ugarte remains a live option. Talks continue with Paris Saint-Germain over the signing.

A gap in valuation still exists, but United will stay patient as the player wants to join. Furthermore, the feeling is PSG want to do a deal.

In parallel to a potential move for Ugarte, United are keeping dialogue open with Fiorentina for Sofyan Amrabat.

Fulham are discussing whether to continue their pursuit of Crystal Palace centre-back Joachim Andersen.

Palace are understood to be standing firm on their valuation of around £40m with Fulham’s latest bid worth £30m including performance-related add-ons.

Andersen played the full game for Palace at Brentford on Sunday alongside Newcastle target Marc Guehi.

Fulham still retain an interest in Aston Villa defender Diego Carlos, having had one bid rejected.

Carlos was an unused substitute for Villa at West Ham United on Saturday.
