Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in La Liga on Saturday, July 25.

Saturday morning's La Liga transfer talk news roundup:


Barcelona on brink of selling Rafinha to Inter Milan?

Inter Milan are reportedly on the brink of concluding a deal for Barcelona midfielder Rafinha.

The two clubs have been in frequent dialogue regarding the potential transfer of Lautaro Martinez, with Barcelona prepared to offer at least one player in part-exchange.

Although it appears that this arrangement has been kept separate, reports in Spain suggest that Rafinha is close to making the switch to San Siro.

The 27-year-old spent the most recent campaign on loan at Celta Vigo, contributing four goals and one assist from 29 outings in La Liga.

With just one year left on his contract, it is claimed that Barcelona are prepared to part ways with the versatile player for £15m.

Rafinha is no stranger to Inter having spent the second half of the 2017-18 season on loan at San Siro.



Manchester United 'ask to be kept in loop over Jan Oblak'

Manchester United are reportedly open to making a big-money approach for Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

With the performances of David de Gea coming under increasing scrutiny, United may potentially consider finding a replacement for their long-time number one.

Although Dean Henderson could be promoted into the starting lineup, The Sun claims that United want to be informed of any developments involving Oblak.

The Slovenia international has recently been linked with a switch to Chelsea, who are eager to bring in an alternative to Kepa Arrizabalaga.

However, with Atletico showing little interest in a part-exchange deal, it remains to be seen whether the Blues are willing to get anywhere near to Oblak's £109m release clause.

While Oblak still has three years left on his contract, a significant bid may tempt Atletico into a sale this summer.
