Christian Eriksen is waiting for Real Madrid to sign him from Tottenham in January,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2019/09/14/5d792fc8e2704e7e3b8b4598.html" target="_blank">Marca</a> says. The Spanish side tried to buy the Denmark international in the summer, but Spurs would not let him go. In the final year of his contract, Spurs are trying to convince him to extend his deal, but he has rejected every offer so far. Instead, Eriksen is holding out for Madrid to come and get him, hoping that a bid will arrive in January.

Inter are in no rush to renew forward Lautaro Martinez' contract, according to sporting director Piero Ausilio. The 22-year-old Argentine scored nine goals last season and had been linked with a move away from the club - though his agent has recently distanced him with reports that he could seek to leave. "We are happy with Lautaro's performance," Ausilio told DAZN. "The renewal of his contract is not something on the agenda, he&nbsp;is a very young guy who still has four years on his contract with us.&nbsp;We will have time for the contract."

Inter not in a hurry over Lautaro contract

Super-agent Mino Raiola is one of a number of figures hoping to represent Wilfried Zaha, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7461849/Football-news-Super-agent-Mino-Raiola-looks-make-Wilfried-Zaha-latest-high-profile-client.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>. The Crystal Palace winger is thought to be unhappy with his current representatives, USM, following his failure to leave the club over the summer. Everton and Arsenal were linked, and Zaha is said to blame USM for failing to force Palace's hand during the window.

Nemanja Matic looks set for Serie A with AC Milan and Inter going head-to-head for his signature in January, report the <a href="https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/calcio-mercato/2019/09/14-61058317/_matic_proposto_in_estate_a_milan_e_inter_a_gennaio_puo_liberarsi_/" target="_blank">Corriere dello Sport</a>. The 31-year-old Serbian midfielder isn't in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's long-term plans and, with his contract expiring next summer, could agree terms with a new club in the next transfer window. The two Milan clubs were both reported to be interested in Matic during the summer transfer window. Inter may fancy their chances with Matic having played under Antonio Conte during his time at Chelsea.

Stuttgart defensive midfielder Santiago Ascacibar is set to be reintegrated into the first-team fold after looking likely to leave the club over the summer. Sporting director Sven Mislintat told&nbsp;kicker&nbsp;that he had spoken to the player to clear the air after an uncomfortable transfer window. The 22-year-old Argentine has become known for a certain hot-headedness during his time in Germany. "You have to be able to handle such characters," Mislintat said. "I can live well with them, you have to be able to look them in the eyes and talk to them&nbsp;and then it's good, that's what happened."

Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic has offers from clubs in Qatar and MLS, according to <a href="https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/calciomercato-juventus-manzdukic-uscita-trasferimento-mls-los-angeles" target="_blank">Gianluca di Marzio</a>. The Croatia international isn't thought to be part of Maurizio Sarri's plans at Juventus, a point underlined as he wasn't named in the squad for Juve's 0-0 draw at Fiorentina on Saturday. The MLS side in question is thought to be Los Angeles FC.&nbsp;

David Beckham's Inter Miami are hoping to bring unsettled Real Madrid man Gareth Bale to the Major League Soccer expansion side, per <a href="http://www.maxifoot.fr/football/article-41318.htm" target="_blank">Maxifoot</a>. The Welshman was widely expected to leave Los Blancos this year, but remained at the club after a last-hour transfer to China fell through. Now however, former Madrid man Beckham intends to raid his old club to recruit their out-of-favour star and bring him stateside.

Barcelona ultimately chose to pass on signing Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain for their 'dignity' due to the high fee their former striker was to command, per <a href="https://en.as.com/en/2019/09/13/football/1568353386_442750.html" target="_blank">AS</a>. The Brazilian was linked with a return to his old club but found himself still at the Ligue 1 champions at the end of the transfer window. Former Blaugrana president&nbsp;Joan Gaspart however feels that his former club refused to match the hefty price tag attached by PSG out of 'dignity'.

Manchester United&nbsp;will be forced to add in the January transfer window, says Lou Macari, with injuries to the likes of Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial highlighting a lack of squad depth. The Red Devils, on the back of a sixth-place finish in 2018-19, were expected to be busy over the summer. Big-money deals were done, including the £80 million ($100m) record-breaking acquisition of Harry Maguire from Leicester. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-utd-have-to-add-in-january-squad-depth-concerns-red/1h9sc7gqktxfo1peh6gdoiqs14" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal here!</a>

Everton&nbsp;winger Alex Iwobi&nbsp;has said that he left&nbsp;Arsenal&nbsp;this summer in part because he had become too comfortable at the club. Iwobi left Arsenal on deadline day, moving to Merseyside in a deal that could eventually total £40 million ($49m). The transfer saw the 23-year-old leave the only club he had ever played for, with Iwobi having come through the Gunners youth academy up through his professional debut in 2015. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/iwobi-being-very-comfortable-at-arsenal-helped-lead-to/ygm01t0jpp8i1kk6wowgrzddd" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal here!</a>

Celtic&nbsp;plan to open contract talks with&nbsp;Nir Bitton ahead of his Parkhead deal expiring at the end of the season, <a href="https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/4717600/nir-bitton-celtic-contract-new-deal-talks/" target="_blank">according to the Sun</a>. Manager Neil Lennon is desperate to get the 27 year-old tied down and plans to open talks with his representatives.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino says that he is happy with his squad following a transfer period filled with rumours of exits and that he hopes his side can crack on with the window shut, per <a href="https://www.skysports.com/transfer/news/11675/11809135/mauricio-pochettino-keen-to-focus-on-football-now-transfer-window-has-closed" target="_blank">Sky Sports</a>. Christian Eriksen was among a number of big names linked with an exit from the club but several all chose to eventually stay, leaving their coach pleased with the make-up of his team. "Now it is a time to be positive," the Argentine stated.&nbsp;"Victor Wanyama is in my plans. Christian is in my plans. Now they are going to have the same possibility as another player to play.

Juventus&nbsp;sporting director Fabio Paratici has confirmed that Mario Mandzukic did not travel with the rest of the squad to face&nbsp;Fiorentina&nbsp;as the striker is currently locked in talks with an unnamed Qatari team. The Croatian was linked with a move away from Turin throughout the summer, with&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;among the big-name European sides said to have harboured an interest, but ultimately the striker remained at Juventus as the summer window swung shut. Now, however, having been left out of the Italian giants'&nbsp;Champions League&nbsp;squad, it is clear that Mandzukic is not part of coach Maurizio Sarri's plans and as such has been free to open talks with interested parties. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/juventus-confirm-mandzukic-missing-fiorentina-trip-due-to/1rr0o4b51pj161kgm8u6r7h2zn" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal here!</a>

Ahead of Neymar’s much-anticipated return to the field for&nbsp;Paris Saint-Germain, Collectif Ultras Paris has released a statement from supporters groups warning the&nbsp;Brazil&nbsp;star that he must be on his best behaviour to win back the fans. Neymar&nbsp;spent much of the summer pushing for a return to Spain, returning late for pre-season training and attempting to manufacture a transfer due to comments his entourage made in the media. As such, his actions have antagonised PSG’s most loyal and vocal supporters ahead of Saturday’s&nbsp;Ligue 1&nbsp;clash with&nbsp;Strasbourg. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/the-road-to-redemption-will-be-long-very-long-psg-ultras/1k8205f2gjcu41197cyduzswl7" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal here!</a>

PSG Ultras warn Neymar

Former&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;and&nbsp;Fiorentina&nbsp;striker&nbsp;Giuseppe Rossi believes he is still capable of playing in&nbsp;Serie A&nbsp;and remains angry about the conclusion of his professional career. The ex-Italy&nbsp;international, who trained with his former club United&nbsp;earlier this year&nbsp;following several months out of the game, saw his career derailed in 2018 by a failed drug test while playing for&nbsp;Genoa. Released by the club at the end of the 2017-18 campaign, he later picked up a warning, avoiding a one-year ban after protesting his innocence, but has since been unable to find a club. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/former-man-utd-striker-giuseppe-rossi-i-can-still-play-in/1e93a7ff7swaj10g229qyr1tsb" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal here!</a>

Real Madrid are mulling over a pursuit of Chelsea star N'Golo Kante if they are unable to bring Paul Pogba to the club, claims <a href="https://www.donbalon.com/futbol/laliga/florentino-perez-tiene-as-manga-200-millones-no-es-mbappe" target="_blank">Don Balon</a>. Los Blancos have long been linked with a move for the Manchester United man but are continuing to consider other options should the Frenchman stay at Old Trafford. His international team-mate is just one suggestion, with president Florentino Perez thought to see him as a suitable option against Casemiro.

Arsenal&nbsp;should be putting themselves in the mix to sign Jadon Sancho if a transfer door is opened, says Paul Merson, but Manchester rivals United and City are likely to provide stiff competition. The&nbsp;Borussia Dortmund&nbsp;winger has been heavily linked with a big-money return to the Premier League following his excellent form for club and now country with England.&nbsp; The youngster&nbsp;previously&nbsp;took the decision to leave City for Germany after seeing his path to first-team football blocked. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/arsenal-should-be-in-for-sancho-merson-wants-gunners-in-transfer-/10oqnjo6q88o91afc7cz3v3jgy" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal here!</a>

Brazilian side Flamengo are determined to sign Gabriel Barbosa on a permanent basis from Inter, <a href="https://www.calciomercato.it/news/351118/inter_il_flamengo_insiste_per_gabigol_la_richiesta_di_marotta" target="_blank">reports in Italy say</a>. The 23-year-old attacker joined Inter from Santos three years ago but has not been able to seal a first team spot, being sent on loan to Benfica, Santos and then Flamengo. Gabigol has got his form back this season, however, and has impressed enough to convince Flamengo that he is worth signing, but they will have to pay around €20 million to get him.

AC Milan have sent scouts to France to observe Rennes teenager&nbsp;Eduardo&nbsp;Camavinga in action against Brest on Saturday. The 16-year-old has made a huge impact since breaking into the Rennes first-team and impressed against Paris Saint-Germain this season. Milan have been linked with him recently and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.calciomercato.it/news/351108/milan_missione_in_francia_nel_mirino_c_e_camavinga" target="_blank">reports in Italy</a>&nbsp;say they he has the chance to entice them further when they play in the weekend's Ligue 1 clash.

Wilfried Zaha could be set to sign up with Mino Raiola as he looks for a new agent following his failed summer move. <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7461849/Football-news-Super-agent-Mino-Raiola-looks-make-Wilfried-Zaha-latest-high-profile-client.html" target="_blank">The Daily Mail</a>&nbsp;reports that the Crystal Palace star has grown frustrated with his current agent and a number of potential new representatives have reached out. Among them is the famous Raiola, who represents Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marco Verratti and Gianluigi Donnarumma among others. The change could help pave the way for Zaha to make a big move in the January transfer window.

Ernesto Valverde believes Lionel Messi's comments about his&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;future have been overplayed, insisting there is no doubt over&nbsp;the Argentinian's&nbsp;commitment. In an interview with SPORT published this week, Messi stated he does not intend to leave the club, though his commitment came on the condition of continued success, and Valverde says there's little reason for the Spanish side to worry.&nbsp; "Everything he says, people try to squeeze out every sub-meaning from his words. I think he was just trying to express things naturally, I don't think we need to worry," Valverde told a news conference.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/i-dont-think-we-need-to-worry-valverde-has-no-concerns-over/ufg8s4s3j7jd1uipc54xmfmpg" target="_blank">Read the rest of his comments on Goal!</a>

Roy Hodgson has admitted to being jealous of other Premier League managers for the amount of money they have to spend on the transfer market.&nbsp; Crystal Palace have been among the lowest spenders in the league, but the manager feels all of the attention is put on others who, though they spend more than Palace, are thought to be restricted in their movement.&nbsp; "A lot of teams who claim they don't spend much money, actually do," <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/roy-hodgson-crystal-palace-transfer-jealousy-compares-pochettino-to-wenger-a4236376.html" target="_blank">Hodgson told the Evening Standard</a>. "Every year I had to read that poor Rafa Benitez, Newcastle don't spend any money. Of course they spent something like 10 times more than we did during that period of time. No one used to write often 'what a pity Roy Hodgson doesn't get a lot to spend!'&nbsp; "It was all Rafa and Pochettino. In that respect, I have a certain element of jealousy."

Pep Guardiola has no plans to bring in a new defender in January to cover for injured Aymeric Laporte - at the moment. The&nbsp;Manchester City&nbsp;centre-back had surgery on his right knee during the international break with Guardiola warning that he could potentially be out for as long as six months. After Vincent Kompany departed at the end of last season, City are left with just Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones as senior centre-backs with midfielder Fernandinho likely to provide extra cover. “My advice to you is not to write too many names about the winter transfer window, because you are going to make a mistake,” he told reporters ahead of City’s trip to Norwich on Saturday. &nbsp; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/we-are-not-interested-in-any-players-guardiola-rules-out-signing-/sh9u9012q3xl1neo8f643t2tu" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal.</a>
