10:00 UPDATE: Paul Pogba to Real Madrid?

Paul Pogba has reportedly already ‘decided’ to join Real Madrid in the summer – but his agent Mino Raiola needs to sign off on the deal.

Pogba has already admitted during this international break that it is his “dream” to play for Real Madrid – but that he is content in Manchester.

Yet Spanish newspaper AS claim the France international has ‘decided’ to try and force a move to the Bernabeu in the summer.

According to the report, Pogba ‘wants to leave United this summer’ and has his eyes on Spain or a return to Serie A.

Paul Pogba ‘thinks he has reached an end and wants to return to Italy or play in the Spanish League’ writes Marco Ruiz for AS.

But the issue is Raiola.

The super-agent holds plenty of sway in where Pogba will end up and will likely demand a massive fee for his services during any transfer discussions.

09:45 UPDATE: Marcus Rashford to Barcelona

Barcelona have added Marcus Rashford to their list of striker targets, according to reports in Spain.

Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo claim the Manchester United star, 21, is ‘on the agenda’ as they look for a long-term successor to Luis Suarez, 32.

However, they also report that any deal could prove problematic as United are unlikely to want to sell one of their prize assets.

Rashford, though, is yet to sign new a new contract and his current deal expires next summer.

United do have an option to extend it for a further 12 months and are said to be in negotiations to extend it further.

09:15 UPDATE: Ivan Perisic to Spurs?

Tottenham are interested in Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic.

That’s the claim from Italian website TuttoMercatoWeb, who report that chairman Daniel Levy is prepared to pay.

Arsenal and Manchester United have both been linked with the 30-year-old Croatia international – but it appears Spurs could land the first blow.

Reports in Italy suggest Inter Milan have decided to sell Perisic at the end of the season and value him at £30million.

09:00 UPDATE: Arsenal hijack!

Arsenal have joined Chelsea in the race to sign Cagliari star Nicolo Barella.

Barella, 22, was approached by Chelsea in January – but Cagliari rejected a whopping £43million bid.

Now, TuttoMercatoWeb claim Arsenal are monitoring the situation.

It’s reported that an Arsenal scout was in attendance to see Barella score for his country in Saturday’s Euro 2020 qualifier against Finland.

Serie A giants AC Milan, Inter Milan and Napoli are also sniffing around.

08:30 UPDATE: Alberto Moreno to Barcelona

Liverpool outcast Alberto Moreno is set to join Barcelona.

That’s according to Spanish publication Sport, who claim the 26-year-old will sign a two-year deal with the Catalan giants.

Moreno has made just five appearances in all competitions under Jurgen Klopp this season – a combined 344 minutes of first-team action.

And Sport claim Liverpool aren’t interested in extending his £65,000-a-week contract that’s set to expire in June.

The report adds that Barcelona are also eyeing Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt and Serbia striker Luka Jovic.

08:00 UPDATE: Arsenal want Ander Herrera

Arsenal are interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera, reports claim.

The Spaniard’s contract expires on June 30 and he is yet to agree new term with Manchester United, who are believed to want to keep him.

It was reported last week that Herrera wants over double his current £80,000-a-week wage to £150,000-a-week but the club are not willing to meet those demands.

The Daily Mail claim PSG have shown interest – but they will have to fight Unai Emery’s Arsenal for Herrera’s signature.

07:30 UPDATE: Milan Skriniar rejects City and Man Utd

Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar has distanced himself a mega-money Premier League transfer.

The centre-back was eyed by Manchester United and Manchester City before the start of the season but neither made a formal approach.

Skriniar is supposedly still on the agendas of two of Europe’s biggest clubs – but the 24-year-old has made it clear that he’s happy at the San Siro.

“I want to stay at Inter. I’ve got a great relationship with the club and the directors. We are talking and we’re close to an agreement.”

And an Inter source added: “Milan is very happy at the San Siro and wants to stay here for at least one more season. He is not considering a move away from the club in the summer.”

07:00 UPDATE: Yannick Carrasco latest

Arsenal target Yannick Carrasco has given the club a boost by stating his intentions to return to Europe.

Express Sport revealed earlier this month that Arsenal are still keen on Carrasco after failing to land him in the January transfer window.

And now it seems that weeks before the summer transfer window opens, Carrasco has issued his first plea for European clubs to sign him.

“I would love to return to Europe. A lot of clubs were interested in me,” Carrasco told Belgian outlet HLN.

“We tried to find a solution in January that would enable me to leave Dalian Yifang.

“But I can understand the club’s thinking. They wanted me to stay.”
