Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Rice on Man Utd radar as Pogba replacement

Manchester United have picked out West Ham's Declan Rice&nbsp;as their major target in next year's summer transfer window, per the <a href="https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-united-transfer-declan-rice-21510545" target="_blank">Manchester Evening News</a>.

Galatasaray have proved unsuccessful in their attempts to land Leicester City midfielder Nampalys Mendy, <a href="https://www.footmercato.net/a1698501770357706416-nampalys-mendy-nira-pas-au-galatasaray" target="_blank">Foot Mercato</a> reports.

Yacine Ayad said: "With Galatasaray and Leicester, we tried everything to try to get him to Istanbul on Wednesday.&nbsp;But the timing was too tight and did not allow us to be able to carry out the medical examination on time.&nbsp;It is fate."

Bruno Iglesias announces new Madrid deal

Roma will chase&nbsp;Denis Zakaria in the new year, after they fell short in their pursuit of Granit Xhaka leading into the new campaign, says <a href="https://todofichajes.com/la-roma-vuelve-por-zakaria/" target="_blank">Todo Fichajes</a>. The Swiss international is a target of Jose Mourinho's, but the Serie A side left it too late to make a serious move after failing to land his international team-mate. With Zakaria not signing a new deal at Borussia Monchengladbach, the Bundesliga side could let him go this winter.

Lionel Messi reportedly has a clause in his Paris Saint-Germain contract that means Argentina duties take precedence, says <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/psg/messi-activa-clausula-argentina-psg-12055400" target="_blank">Sport</a>. The veteran striker joined the Ligue 1 side following his release by Barcelona, but has only played a handful of minutes so far. His new club will have to wait for his home debut too after Argentina saw their September international break disrupted by the suspension of their Brazil game, forcing a late return.

Aston Villa hijacked an attempt by Tottenham to land Caleb Chukwuemeka when they beat out Spurs for the Northampton man this summer, says <a href="https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-aston-villa-blew-tottenham-out-of-water-to-seal-seven-figure-chukwuemeka-deal/" target="_blank">Football Insider</a>. The London outfit were favourites early on to land the striker. But Dean Smith's side eventually pulled off the coup to beat their rivals for his signature.

Manchester City had a bid for&nbsp;Palmeiras winger Wesley knocked back late in the transfer window, says <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/futbol-america/delantero-palmeiras-quiso-vender-city-12033900" target="_blank">Sport</a>. The Premier League champions looked to bring the 22-year-old into the fold but saw their bid rejected. The Brazilian may well have been loaned out further afield within City's group of sister clubs, had he signed.

Thomas Muller has defended Bayern Munich after signing Dayot Upamecano and Marcel Sabitzer from RB Leipzig. Many feel that Bayern's financial power was used to intentionally weaken their Bundesliga rivals, who have started the season poorly. Muller, however, insists that Leipzig were under no obligation to sell. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/look-at-psg-mbappe-muller-defends-bayern-transfers-tells/c6v0kkyoh42d1cgiwvzbo1yxw" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal</a>

Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has explained why the club both bought and sold Emerson Royal in the same transfer window. The Blaugrana paid Real Betis in order to take full ownership of the full-back, who was then sold to Tottenham shortly after. With Barca in a precarious financial situation, however, the Dutchman felt he had enough depth in Royal's position to sanction his sale for the benefit of the club. He told <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/quiero-seguir-anos-barca-koeman-laporta-messi-ansu-fati-dembele-umtiti-de-jong-riqui-puig-coutinho-12054522" target="_blank">Sport</a>: “I wanted to help the club and an example of that was the sale of Emerson. I told the club that if they could make a profit then they should sell Emerson because we have [Sergino] Dest, [Oscar] Mingueza and even Sergi Roberto. “There are undoubtedly more positive than negative things. If I didn't want him to go, I would have said: 'No, he is not moving'.”

On-loan Celtic winger Jota insists he will put no thought into a permanent switch to Glasgow until the end of the season. The Hoops can buy the Benfica-owned 22-year-old for £6 million ($8m) next summer if they decide he is a good fit. For now, though, Jota's only concern is winning the Scottish title back from Rangers. “Right now I think the most important thing is to play and to keep on learning and adapting to the Scottish game,” the Portuguese said. “I know the terms of my loan but I don’t want to think about that. I have to focus on my football, adapt to the game here and learn. “Everything at the right time. First win games, title and then we speak about other things. “Anything else will be discussed at the end of the season.”

The Premier League outfit could see him as a replacement for Adama Traore if the latter leaves Molineux.
