Independiente head coach Lucas&nbsp;Pusineri has said his club is saving the number 10 shirt for Sergio Aguero in an effort to lure the striker back to his former club. The Manchester City star's contract is up in 2021 and he has often spoken of his desire to eventually return to&nbsp;Independiente. With&nbsp;Pusineri, a former team-mate of Aguero, now in charge there is renewed hope at the Argentine side that they could lure the forward home sooner rather than later. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/independiente-boss-we-are-reserving-no-10-shirt-for-man-city/1j3uow3oygisl1vmpjp9ubjvai" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal</a>

Inter have made a proposal to Barcelona with regards to the Spanish side's pursuit of Lautaro Martinez.

If a transfer for Lautaro Martinez fails this summer, Barcelona will turn their focus towards a different young striker. The club is ready to move on to Swedish star Alexander Isak if a move for the Inter forward falls through, and a move for the Real Sociedad forward would come much cheaper. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/barca-target-real-sociedad-isak-inter-lautaro-martinez-fails/767isoqdbqv91x296oomx6vhc">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Ajax teenager&nbsp;Sontje Hansen has emerged on Manchester City's transfer radar - according to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/apr/13/manchester-city-keeping-tabs-on-6m-teenage-ajax-forward-sontje-hansen" target="_blank">The Guardian</a>. The 17-year-old could be available for around €8 million this summer, with&nbsp;his current contract at the Johan Cruyff ArenA due to expire in 2021.

James Maddison is more than good enough to play for&nbsp;Manchester United, says Derek McInnes, with the Leicester midfielder capable of representing “any of the big clubs in&nbsp;England”. Transfer talk has been building steadily around the 23-year-old&nbsp;for some time. Having stepped up to the Premier League with ease at Leicester, the talented playmaker is said to be attracting admiring glances from Old Trafford.

Ousmane Dembele will not be leaving Barcelona this summer - according to <a href="https://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2020/04/13/5e8d1a2c22601ddd218b462d.html" target="_blank">Marca</a>. Barca were ready to listen to offers for the French winger, but there are no potential suitors willing to meet their €60 million (£52m/$66m) valuation. Dembele has missed almost the entire 2019-20 season through injury, and has so far failed to live up to his €140 million (£122m/$153m) price tag at Camp Nou.

Manuel Neuer has yet to reach an agreement with Bayern Munich over a new contract at Allianz Arena - according to <a href="https://www.kicker.de/773843/artikel/vertragspoker_um_neuer_ein_kompromiss_ist_weit_entfernt" target="_blank">Kicker</a>. The German goalkeeper's current deal expires in 2021, and he wants to sign an extension through to 2025, but negotiations have stalled in recent weeks.

Lautaro Martinez has been urged to seriously consider a move away from&nbsp;Inter, with&nbsp;Argentina&nbsp;legend Mario Kempes pointing out that the&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;“train only passes once”.

The Liga giants&nbsp;have made the South American forward a top target for the next window, with&nbsp;it recently reported that a lucrative contract offer is being readied.

Phil Jones and Jesse Lingard may be among those Manchester United look to move on over the summer, claims <a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/11972704/manchester-uniteds-squad-assessed-who-will-stay-or-go-this-summer" target="_blank">Sky Sports</a>.

Sadio Mane has no need to leave&nbsp;Liverpool&nbsp;for&nbsp;Barcelona, says John Aldridge, as the Reds are better than the Liga giants and the Senegalese would have to “overcome Lionel Messi” if he moved to Camp Nou. The former Reds striker told the Liverpool Echo: “Mane can win the Ballon d’Or as he’s a great player. And he has as much chance winning it while at Liverpool than anywhere else.” <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/sadio-mane-barcelona-lionel-messi-liverpool-aldridge/j4i48u4cfvks11illazbv7otl" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Philippe Coutinho is a "creative genius", according to Phil Thompson, who would like to see the&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;playmaker retrace his steps in the summer transfer window. Coutinho established himself as one of the finest young players in Europe during his five-year spell at Anfield&nbsp;and became the second most expensive player in the world when Barca&nbsp;snapped him up for&nbsp;€160&nbsp;million (£139m/$175m) in January 2018. The 27-year-old has, however, been unable to transfer his impressive form from the Premier League to&nbsp;La Liga, despite helping the Blaugrana retain their Spanish crown during his first full&nbsp;season at Camp Nou.

Arsenal have been heavily linked with the Serbian striker, who has failed to live up to expectations during his first season at Santiago Bernabeu. Despite his struggles, Madrid are still confident that Jovic has a long-term future in the Spanish capital, and will not entertain any offers when the transfer window reopens.

Chelsea and Tottenham are keeping tabs on Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana - according to the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/chelsea-tottenham-eye-up-move-21861058" target="_blank">Mirror</a>. Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in the 24-year-old, who is currently valued at around £25 million ($31m). Chelsea are on the lookout for a replacement for Kepa between the sticks, while Hugo Lloris' future at Spurs is very much up in the air heading into the summer transfer window.

The Spanish champions are planning to swoop amid a breakdown in the 23-year-old's relationship with Spurs head coach Jose Mourinho. Barca will have to pay around €60 million (£52m/$66m) for Ndombele, who is contracted to remain at Tottenham until 2025.

If Barcelona fail to sign Neymar or Lautaro Martinez this summer, the club will turn towards Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman, reports <a href="https://sportbild.bild.de/bundesliga/vereine/bayern-muenchen/kingsley-coman-geruecht-kandidat-barcelona-70011274.sport.html">Bild</a>. The club faces a difficult summer of negotiations, but a deal for Coman would come significantly cheaper than for the other two targets. Coman's deal runs through 2024, but the Frenchman's injury history should have him available for a much cheaper price than the in-demand Neymar and Martinez.&nbsp;

Robert Lewandowski was close to joining&nbsp;Serie A&nbsp;club&nbsp;Genoa&nbsp;before ultimately making the move to&nbsp;Borussia Dortmund, according to&nbsp;former Genoa sporting director Stefano Capozucca.

Liverpool are prepared to make a move for Kylian Mbappe if Real Madrid's pursuit of Sadio Mane proves successful, reports <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/11389905/mbappe-liverpool-mane-real-madrid-exclusive/">the Sun</a>. The Reds will use any transfer fee generated by the sale of Mane to put towards the pursuit of Mbappe, who has been identified as ownership as the club's top target. Liverpool would need to raise significantly more than what would be received from Mane's sale but, with new sponsors Nike coming into the fold, the club is hoping that the sportswear giants would help pay to put the Frenchman in Liverpool colours.

Odion Ighalo would have to sacrifice two-thirds of his&nbsp;£300,000-a-week wages if he is to remain at Manchester United, reports <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/odion-ighalo-lose-thousands-seals-21857989">the Daily Star</a>.

According to <a href="https://as.com/futbol/2020/04/12/primera/1586723072_852555.html?autoplay=1">AS</a>, Saint-Etienne are also in the mix for the Colombian goalscorer, and have submitted a larger offer than the Spanish side. Atletico's interest, meanwhile, will depend on sales as the club will not make any big splashes unless there are some big exits this summer.

Both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are eyeing Mohammed Salisu, reports <a href="https://theathletic.com/1731987/2020/04/13/la-liga-rising-stars-torres-isak-salisu/">the Athletic</a>.
