Chelsea would still be able to turn&nbsp;Gonzalo&nbsp;Higuain's loan from Juventus into a permanent deal this summer even if their transfer ban comes into effect, according to <a href="http://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/calciomercato/2019/02/23-53732080/higuain_non_torna_alla_juve_il_chelsea_se_lo_tiene/" target="_blank">Tuttosport.</a> The Blues were given a two-window ban by FIFA for breaching rules in relation to the signing of youth players, though they have since appealed that ruling. Should the ban be upheld Tuttosport claim Chelsea could still extend&nbsp;Higuain's loan, or make it a permanent deal, as he is technically already a Chelsea player so would not require a new registration.

Ivan Perisic looks set to stay at Inter after the Italian club made a U-turn over the Croatian's future, according to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/report-inter-make-u-turn-on-future-of-arsenal-and-chelsea-target-95860" target="_blank">Calciomercato.</a> Perisic reportedly handed in a transfer request last month in order to force through a move to Arsenal, with Inter willing to let the 30-year-old leave. That deal didn't go through in the end but Arsenal's hopes of resurrecting the transfer in the summer look to have been dashed, with the&nbsp;Nerazzurri now keen to keep the midfielder.

Paris Saint-Germain want to appoint Barcelona's&nbsp;technical secretary&nbsp;Eric Abidal as their new sporting director, according to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20190223/46622515724/psg-abidal-barca-fichaje-director-deportivo-antero-henrique.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo.</a> The future of current PSG sporting director&nbsp;Antero Henrique had been placed in doubt in recent weeks with the French champions linked with a number of replacements.

Barcelona are not planning a&nbsp;summer bid for&nbsp;Atletico Madrid&nbsp;midfielder Saul,&nbsp;according to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20190223/46633489909/barca-saul-atletico-fichaje-niega.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>. Reports in AS earlier on Saturday claimed Barca were prepared to pay as much as €110 million (£95.6m/$125m) for the 26-year-old. However, Mundo Deportivo say those reports are untrue, citing sources close to the Catalan club.

The Catalan side are moving to tie up the future of their top assets and see the left-back as an irreplaceable part of the team. President Josep Maria Bartomeu and Alba's agent have already opened talks over an extension and it seems they have already agreed to a new deal that will last until 2024.

Barcelona are plotting a summer bid for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul,&nbsp;<a href="https://as.com/futbol/2019/02/20/primera/1550689287_788299.html?m1=cG9ydGFkYV9wb3J0YWRh&amp;m2=QUNUVUFMSURBRA%3D%3D&amp;m3=MQ%3D%3D&amp;m4=bm9ybWFs" target="_blank">AS</a>&nbsp;claims. The Catalan side are prepared to go as high as €110 million to land the 24-year-old they have long had their eye on as they look to enhance their squad. Not only does Saul have a contract that lasts until 2026, however, he is also wanted by Chelsea, who could also swoop in for him at the end of the season.

Mauro Icardi's future&nbsp;at Inter may be in doubt, but the Serie A side are not ready to cut their losses with the Argentine striker just yet. Icardi lost his status as captain recently and has been left out of the squad amid talk of a breakdown in his relationship with the club. However,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.corrieredellosport.it" target="_blank">Corrierre dello Sport</a>&nbsp;reports that the San Siro outfit are ready to offer him a new contract with a salary of €6.5 million. The current offer is a bit below Icardi's €10m demands, but he and agent and wife Wanda Nara have not given a counter offer yet.

Ivan Rakitic will have his choice of top clubs if he decides to leave Barcelona at the end of the season, going by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20190223/46629844106/cuatro-grandes-a-por-rakitic.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>. Bayern Munich were credited with an interest in the Croatian midfielder, but they are not the only team eyeing him. Inter, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United are all eyeing a move for the World Cup runner-up.&nbsp; PSG are said to have made a huge offer for him last summer and the battle to land the 30-year-old when the next transfer window opens.

Paris Saint-Germain want to lure Eric Abidal away from Barcelona to take over as their new sporting director,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20190223/46622515724/psg-abidal-barca-fichaje-director-deportivo-antero-henrique.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>&nbsp;reports. PSG are looking for an upgrade on Antero Henrique, who has been heavily criticised recently. They have seen the good work the former defender has done since he joined the Barcelona hierarchy and hope to hire him, but Abidal has no desire to leave Camp Nou.

Chelsea will try to sign Edinson Cavani from Paris Saint-Germain if Eden Hazard leaves for Real Madrid,&nbsp;<a href="https://le10sport.com/football/mercato/mercato-psg-la-premier-league-se-tient-prete-a-degainer-sur-paris-436629" target="_blank">Le10Sport</a>&nbsp;claims. Hazard has been linked with a move to Real Madrid and could leave in the summer. Although Chelsea were recently given a two window transfer ban, they will appeal FIFA's ruling. Needing a new source of goals if Hazard goes, they will turn to the Uruguayan attacker who has scored 22 goals in all competitions this season.

At least four more Premier League clubs face transfer bans from FIFA for breaking the rules when it comes to signing young players,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/8485841/four-premier-league-teams-transfer-ban-after-chelsea/" target="_blank">The</a><a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/8485841/four-premier-league-teams-transfer-ban-after-chelsea/" target="_blank">&nbsp;Sun</a>&nbsp;reports.
