In this article, we at Khel Now will take you through the important transfer news of the day:

Filipe Luis don't leave– Jan Oblak

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak has revealed that it would be sad if left-back Filipe Luis left the La Liga club this summer.

Borussia Dortmund eye Paco Alcaecer

Real Madrid planning a last-minute swoop for Julian Weigl

Real Madrid are preparing a last-minute swoop for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Weigl, reports Don Balon. However, it is being reported that the player won't be sold for less than £67m.
