Since declaring his interest in buying the club, Sir Jim has not heard anything from Manchester United. Barcelona are concerned about the future ofAntoine Griezmann.
There is a row between Barcelona and Atleti, Ten Hag wants to keep a player, and a Celtic star is being eyed.
According to sources, Sir Jim Ratcliffe hasn't heard anything from the family about his interest in buying the club.
As fan pressure mounts on the Glazers, Ratcliffe has suggested he is willing to open negotiations about a takeover.
According to sources, the Glazers are looking for investment to help fund the rejuvenation of Old Manchester, but Ratcliffe would be interested in a full takeover. The Glazers have not indicated that they are looking to give up control.
United fans have objected to the buy-out by the Glazers.
They have been accused of draining the club of money through dividends. The protests are being played out against a backdrop of not much success on the pitch.
Ahead of the game on Monday, around 10,000 supporters protested against the ownership of the family. At every home game this season, fan groups will demonstrate until the club is sold.
In the last five years, United haven't won a trophy or the title of the premier league. They missed out on a place in the group stage of the competition.
If a sale were to go through, United would be worth more than the club was worth when it was sold to Roman Abramovich. According to sources, Ratcliffe's position is not changing.
According to sources, Barcelona are worried about what will happen with Griezmann next summer, with the LaLiga club believing that Atletico Madrid will try to avoid paying the agreed 40 million.
If the France international plays at least 45 minutes in 50% of the games for which he is available over the next two seasons, he will be paid 40m by Atleti. Last year, he played in 30 of 37 games for which he was available, fit and not subject to suspension, but in the first two games of this season, he has played just 28 minutes.
According to sources, Atletico were trying to convince Barcelona to give them a better deal.
After scoring just three league goals last season, his worst ever tally, and going nine months without finding the net, the club think 40m is excessive for a player who turns 32. The annual salary of over 20m would cause more problems for a club that is struggling to meet LaLiga's squad spending limits.
Various solutions have been discussed, including lowering his wage demands, or the clubs changing the terms of their agreement.
According to sources, the transfer window is coming to an end because of the brinkmanship used by rivals regarding the future of the club. Financial Fair Play concerns and projected losses for the upcoming season are believed to be behind the pressure on the players to leave.
Two bids for James Maddison, which were rejected by the club, have been linked with a move toChelsea.
Midfielder Youri Tielemans has one year left on his contract and is unlikely to sign an extension despite interest from other clubs, but he is still at the club.
Other players deemed surplus to requirements have not attracted offers close to their valuations.
According to sources, clubs are lowballingLeicester with offers below their asking prices because of their financial troubles. A free agent next summer, Tielemans, is thought to want as much as £40m, while a world-record fee for a defender is still being demanded by the club.
The various delays have caused issues within the squad, with manager Brendan Rodgers saying he was not in the right state of mind to play, and Fofana being left out of last weekend's defeat to Saints.
They have only taken one point from their first three games of the season and needed a penalty shoot out to beat League Two side Stockport County.
Rodgers wants to change his squad, but he knows it will take money to do so. The pressure created by Thursday's deadline will build to the point that other clubs will accept a lower offer for one of their stars. It will be a busy finale to the window.
They debated if Casemiro will suit the style of play of ten Hag.
According to sources, ten Hag wants Harry to stay at Manchester United even though he was dropped for the victory over the Reds.
Despite public support from Ten Hag, the captain of the club lost his place in the team for the game against Manchester United. It has raised the possibility that Maguire could leave the club ahead of next week's transfer deadline and the 29-year-old has been linked with a move to CHELSEA in their bid to sign Fofana.
According to sources, Ten Hag wants to keep him even if he has to wait for his chance. Ahead of a busy season, Ten Hag wants four senior centre-backs in his squad, so that they can take a break for the World Cup in December.
Phil Jones and Victor Lindelof are both available for transfer, leaving Eric Bailly with Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, LisandroMartinez and Victor Lindelof.
With less than a week to go before the transfer window closes, the future of the defender remains uncertain, while both Barcelona and Real Betis face difficulties in signing him.
A source close to the situation says that a complicated deal with a lot of moving parts is what is going on between the player and the club. In the last few years, the club has terminated contracts with several players, including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mesut Ozil, Shkodran Mustafi, and many more.
The focus is on the two clubs to reach a deal first, because they are not willing to pay a transfer fee. According to sources, Betis and Barcelona need to resolve issues with registering players in order to comply with the financial regulations of La Liga.
Jules Kounde was signed from Sevilla for 55m in the summer, but Barcelona's problems are well documented and they need funds to register some of their existing players.
There are other clubs who would like to sign the Spaniard, but he wants to go back to Spain, where he started his career.
According to sources, Matt O'Riley is attracting a lot of interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs.
The form and statistics of O'Riley have caught the attention of teams all around Europe, with sources saying there could yet be a late move for him. Celtic have no interest in losing the 21-year-old, but a bid in the region of £15m-$20m could be tempting, though it is expected his value will increase this year if he continues his impressive run.
According to sources, if a bid is forthcoming in this transfer window, then it's most likely that the English-born player will be going to the Premier League to play for either of the two clubs. O'Riley has been watched by scouts from Lille and Wolfsburg.
It looked like it was just a matter of time before Houssem Aouar joined the club.
Forest were about to make an offer to Lyon for the player who had an agreement with the club. According to sources, their bid was a bit shocking. For a player with one year left on his contract and who under-performed the previous season, the 10m was a good value.
Lyon was surprised by the structure of the deal proposed by Forest, who wanted to pay the 10m in six installments.
Lyon didn't like the proposal and felt disrespected. According to sources, the transfer is still possible, but Forest have some work to do.
