Chelsea, meanwhile, found another regulatory loophole to complete a signing, while Manchester United received a worrying update on one of their key midfield targets. The Blues also appear to have abandoned their academy focus, with the signing of Morgan Rogers further evidence of that shift. In Portugal, a Porto wonderkid has been accused of identity fraud, though the details remain unclear. Joshua Zirkzee has finally been given the green light to leave Manchester United, and the Italian federation insists that agreeing financial terms with Pep Guardiola for the national team job will not be an issue.
