The 19-year-old midfielder looked comfortable during his first season as a Premier League footballer and had been attracting interest from a number of top clubs. But Nuno Espirito Santo's squad have a busy season ahead with Europa League football looking likely to be confirmed, and they have no desire to lose one of their star assets.

Dani Alves wants to return to Barcelona to link up with Neymar, according to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20190728/463728991570/barca-dani-alves.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>. The 36-year-old is without a club following the end of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, and he allegedly believes that a deal for Neymar could be done by the end of the first week of August. Alves made almost 400 appearances in an eight-year spell at Camp Nou, winning six league titles and three Champions Leagues among countless other trophies.

Real Madrid's young striker Borja Mayoral is set to spend the 2018/19 season on loan with Levante, report <a href="https://as.com/futbol/2019/07/27/primera/1564261085_070803.html?m1=cG9ydGFkYV9wb3J0YWRh&amp;m2=QUNUVUFMSURBRA%3D%3D&amp;m3=Mg%3D%3D&amp;m4=bm9ybWFs&amp;m5=MjE%3D" target="_blank">AS</a>. The 22-year-old's participation in the European Under-21 Championships meant Mayoral missed out on Madrid's pre-season camp in the United States, and he isn't a part of Zinedine Zidane's plans. Mayoral was at Levante last season and scored five goals in 33 appearances, helping his side to a 15th-place finish in La Liga.

There will be at least one Pogba playing in Spain next season - with striker Mathias joining fourth-division side Manchego Ciudad Real. The 28-year-old target man, who has played in England, Scotland, France and the Netherlands and represents the Guinea national side, joins after one season with French side Tours. But it doesn't seem as though he'll be moving to help little brother Paul settle into his potential new home of Madrid - Ciudad Real is some 200km south of the Spanish capital.

Newcastle could be set for a summer influx with Steve Bruce keeping tabs on a number of players, according to the <a href="https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/steve-bruce-talks-clinch-two-16657857" target="_blank">Chronicle</a>. With negotiations continuing over PSG defender Stanley Nsoki, the Magpies are also interested in Amiens defender Emil Krafth, unattached goalkeeper Jake Turner, and attacking players Allan Saint-Maximin and Jarrod Bowen. Charlie Austin and Andy Carroll are still also on Bruce's radar, but they aren't the immediate priority and may have to wait and see what happens with Newcastle's other business.

Florian Thauvin remains on Arsenal's radar, but the Gunners have prioritised other targets, reports <a href="https://www.laprovence.com/article/om/5613300/mercato-om-sanson-thauvin-en-salle-dattente.html" target="_blank">La Provence</a>. Former Newcastle United winger Thauvin has been thriving since returning to Marseille, hitting double figures in the goal charts in each of the past three seasons, including a career high of 22 strikes in 2017-18. And, while Arsenal are interested in the France international, he is not at the top of their agenda just yet as they attempt to finalise other deals.

Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce has sounded yet another warning to Manchester United over Sean Longstaff.

Newcastle United are interested in signing Stanley N'Soki from Paris Saint-Germain, but have not managed to convince the Ligue 1 side with their opening bid, reports <a href="http://www.leparisien.fr/sports/football/psg/psg-nsoki-en-attente-d-une-nouvelle-offre-de-newcastle-28-07-2019-8124894.php" target="_blank">Le Parisien</a>. The Magpies have reportedly made an offer of €8 million (£7m/$9m) for N'Soki, but that falls somewhat short of PSG's valuation, which currently stands at €15m (£13.5m/$17m). Serie A sides Lazio and Roma are also said to be interested, with the former making an offer to loan the defender.

Juventus are set to offer Paulo Dybala as part of a deal to bring Romelu Lukaku to Turin, according to <a href="https://www.skysports.com/transfer/news/11095/11771409/juventus-to-offer-paulo-dybala-to-manchester-united-as-part-of-romelu-lukaku-deal" target="_blank">Sky Sports</a>. Belgium international Lukaku is reportedly keen to leave Old Trafford, with Juve, along with their Serie A rivals Inter fighting it out for his signature. And the Bianconeri are now willing to up the stakes by offering Dybala along with a fee for the £80 million-rated striker. It may prove difficult though, with the Argentina international believed to be keen on fighting for his place with the Italian champions.

Gareth Bale's prospective move to China will see his wife and children remain at the family home in Spain, according to the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/personal-sacrifice-gareth-bale-must-18788706" target="_blank">Mirror</a>.

Romelu Lukaku is so keen on an exit from Manchester United that he is begging the club to lower their asking price, according to the <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9599872/romelu-lukaku-begged-man-utd-transfer-fee-juventus-inter/" target="_blank">Sun</a>. The Red Devils value Lukaku at £80 million ($100m), but Serie A giants Inter and Juventus are not currently willing to meet that valuation. Inter are the striker's preferred destination, but their offer of £54m ($67m) fell short of what the Premier League club desired.

Villa, who were recently promoted to the Premier League, are not willing to make an improved offer on their current £15 million ($18.5m) bid.

The Magpies were prepared to offer the England international around £50,000 per week, but he's unwilling to take a pay cut from the £60,000 a week he's earning in North London.

Roy Hodgson has said he thought he and the Crystal Palace board were on the same page regarding transfers, but that he's unhappy more significant additions haven't been made to the Eagles squad. Palace lost Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Manchester United for £50m ($62m), and have only brought in Andre Ayew.

Nicolas Pepe will reportedly earn £105,000 per week after he completes a £72m ($89m) move from Lille to Arsenal. The fee would be a club record for the Gunners, and <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1158662/Arsenal-Nicolas-Pepe-Man-Utd-Liverpool-Lille-Napoli-Gunners-Unai-Emery" target="_blank">The Express</a> say their wage offer impressed the Ivory Coast international.

Leicester City will require a greater percentage of defender Harry Maguire's fee upfront than Manchester United have offered so far, say <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7293159/Leicester-news-Foxes-want-greater-chunk-Harry-Maguire-fee-Man-United.html" target="_blank">The Daily Mail</a>. The Foxes reasoning is that they are unsure bonus clauses will be met, as United are not guaranteed Champions League qualification as they have been in the past. The Red Devils have offered £72m ($89m) as an initial fee, with bonuses to take the deal to £80m.&nbsp; Leicester are holding out for more than £75m before add-ons, so they can say they sold the defender for a world record fee, according to the report.&nbsp;
