Daley Blind moves to Manchester United, Alex Song could switch to Liverpool, and Arsenal and Manchester City eye Radamel Falcao.

The Red Devils have settled on a fee for Ajax defender Daley Blind, according to ESPNFC.

The 24-year-old Dutch international will move to Old Trafford for £14 million ($23.2 million).

The signing of Blind means that United won’t be going after long time transfer target Arturo Vidal, or Sporting Lisbon defensive midfielder William Carvalho.

Blind is United’s fifth summer spending, and his transfer has taken United’s summer spending up to £146 million ($242 million).

Meanwhile, Barcelona defensive midfielder Alex Song might return to the EPL on a loan deal to Liverpool, according to the Mirror.

AC Milan are keen to taking the former Arsenal man, but Song wants an England return, and hopes that a Merseyside move can be trashed out.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is not willing to take Song back for a loan stint.

In other news, Arsenal and Chelsea could take Radamel Falcao on a loan deal, the Daily Mail reports.

Both clubs are currently stalling talks with the 28-year-old Colombian because of the hefty £20 million ($33.2 million) loan fee that Monaco is demanding.

Falcao still prefers a move to Real Madrid, although that seems because the signing of Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez over the summer puts Madrid at risk of breaking the UEFA Financial Fair Play regulations.
