Pereira on Man Utd future
16:59: Andreas Pereira insists he does not want to return to Manchester United in January - and he would be happy to stay at Valencia next season.

The Brazilian is on loan at the La Liga outfit until the end of the season but United can recall him in January.

The 21-year-old told Super Deporte: “Yes, I want to be here, help Valencia until June. I came with that thought, I know that there is a clause in the contract and now I have to wait to see.

"But my mind is focused on Valencia and I want to stay here.

“It is important that I am playing to grow, improve and help Valencia. It would be very difficult to return to United at mid-season and continue with the same evolution that I’m having now here."

Zidane must sell to sign Hazard
16:04: Zinedine Zidane has been told he must ditch one of his star forwards if he wants to sign Eden Hazard from Chelsea.

Hazard is Zidane’s top target as he looks to add some spark back into Real Madrid after a poor start to the season.

And he could be the next ‘Galactico’ heading to the Bernabeu after admitting playing under the Frenchman was a dream.

But it will come at a cost for Zidane, who has been told by president Floreninto Perez he must get rid of someone to free up space for the Belgium star.

And Spanish website Diario Gol claim Karim Benzema is the most likely to depart, despite being a big favourite of Zidane’s.

Niguez open to Man Utd move
15:34: Manchester United will reportedly be forced to barter with Atletico Madrid unless they’re willing to meet Saul Niguez’s £134m release clause.

The Spanish midfielder has forged a reputation as one of Europe’s most promising talents since rising through the ranks in Madrid.

And the 22-year-old’s performances under Diego Simeone have caught Jose Mourinho’s eye as he looks to bolster his United squad.

The Sun claim Atletico had a whopping £134m buyout clause written into the contract Saul signed this summer.

And United would have to cough up that fee unless they can thrash out a cut-price deal with Atletico.

The Sun say Saul would be open to joining United if an agreement was in place between the clubs.

United’s interest in Saul comes as Atletico eye Old Trafford favourite Ander Herrera.Coutinho U-turn
14:40: Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho could change his mind “tomorrow” and decide he wants to go to Barcelona, according to former Premier League defender Sebastian Bassong.

Coutinho has once again been linked with a move to Barcelona in January after a deal failed to materialise last summer.

However, while on international duty with Brazil, Coutinho admitted he is happy at Liverpool.

"I'm always happy. But now it's important to concentrate on the national team. At the moment I am very happy with my life."

But Ex-Tottenham and Newcastle defender Bassong believes Philippe Coutinho’s words should be taken with a pinch of salt, because he could change his mind by tomorrow.

“Of course (there’s a future at Liverpool for Coutinho), he said he’s happy. You’ve got to believe his words, trust his words,” Bassong said.

“We all know in football that the word of today might not be the word of tomorrow, the decision of tomorrow.

“I think as a Brazilian player, a player who wants to improve his game, he might think again of going off to Barcelona. But that’s only my opinion, yeah.”

Arsenal eye Fekir
14:00: Arsenal are in advanced talks to sign Lyon playmaker Nabil Fekir.

The Daily Star claim a deal is “almost done” for the Gunners to sign the talented 24-year-old.

Arsenal will have to pay more than £60m for his signature that could see Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez leave.
