AZ striker Myron Boadu is happy with his decision to snub a switch to&nbsp;Arsenal, with the 17-year-old admitting a move to Emirates Stadium “did not appeal”. Boadu believed his development would be better served in his homeland and has seen that decision vindicated by regular senior football and three goals already in the 2018-19 campaign. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/arsenal-move-didnt-appeal-boadu-happy-with-gunners-snub/f6ar6a507lpj13u91dmmsngt3" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Paul Pogba’s reluctance to commit to&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;amid talk of interest from&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;is making the Red Devils look amateur, says Paul Parker. The former defender told talkSPORT: "What’s coming out of Manchester United PR-wise is something you expect from a club five or six levels below – it’s not top-level PR." <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/pogba-transfer-talk-making-man-utd-look-amateur-barcelona/c8uj47qbv8ur1dzqm882a14a9" target="_blank">Check out the full story on Goal!</a>

Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision to leave&nbsp;Real Madrid&nbsp;for Juventus over the summer stunned Bryan Robson, with the&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;legend expecting the Portuguese to retire at the Santiago Bernabeu or Old Trafford. The former Red Devils captain told the Manchester Evening News:&nbsp;"I was surprised that Ronaldo didn't finish his career at Real Madrid or Manchester United. That was a surprising move when he went to&nbsp;Juventus." <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/i-thought-ronaldo-would-finish-at-man-utd-juventus-move/1vzxse8iixiyr1ld76jns9g69b" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Gabriel Barbosa endured a testing spell in Europe with Inter and Benfica before returning to Santos on loan, but he has no regrets and could yet return to Italy. Gabigol told Tribuna:&nbsp;“I don’t have regrets over how it went with Inter, as these things happen in football. I wasn’t the first and won’t be the last. I have three years on my contract with Inter, so we’ll see what happens.”

Alexis Sanchez can overcome a testing start to his&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;career and follow in the footsteps of Eric Cantona, David Beckham and&nbsp;Cristiano Ronaldo&nbsp;as a great No. 7, says Bryan Robson. The Chilean forward was handed an iconic shirt at Old Trafford following a high-profile move from&nbsp;Arsenal&nbsp;during the January transfer window. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/sanchez-can-be-a-great-no-7-for-man-utd-like-cantona-beckham/hq6hedty21e41akbiiadh98tc" target="_blank">Find out what a former United skipper has had to say in a high-profile signing here.</a>

With John Terry not returning to Aston Villa, the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/john-terry-spartak-moscow-how-13213290" target="_blank">Mirror</a> claim that the Championship club have turned their attention to Robert Huth. The former Chelsea, Stoke and Leicester&nbsp;defender is currently available as a free agent.

Juventus considered a move for Cristiano Ronaldo to be “crazy” when it was first discussed, but Pavel Nedved says the wishes of the Portuguese superstar helped to get a deal done. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner had&nbsp;first floated the idea of leaving Real Madrid after helping the Liga giants to a third successive Champions League triumphback in May. No deal was done before he headed off on World Cup duty, but Serie A champions Juve got their man in sensational circumstances when&nbsp;a €100 million (£90m/$116m) agreement was pushed through in July. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/ronaldos-desire-to-leave-madrid-made-crazy-juventus-deal/1ilkqzioma2oo1lpl4r31tcd72" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Chelsea are ready to use Tiemoue Bakayoko as a makeweight in their efforts to land AC Milan forward Suso, claims <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/chelsea-to-use-bakayoko-to-help-sign-milan-winger-81056" target="_blank">Calciomercato</a>. The Blues have allowed their French midfielder to head to San Siro on loan this season and hope he can be factored in to a permanent swoop for the Rossoneri's former Liverpool winger.

Alphonse Areola says he has opened negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain over a new contract. The goalkeeper wanted to join Chelsea in the summer after Gianluigi Buffon's arrival in the French capital, <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/areola-wanted-to-join-chelsea-in-the-summer-lollichon-says/ebcdk7zbomgw1nwkbnlhhs6jq" target="_blank">according to Blues goalkeeper coach&nbsp;Christophe Lollichon</a>.

Roma are preparing a bid for Porto midfielder Hector Herrera, says&nbsp;<a href="http://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/serie-a/roma/2018/09/09-47243192/roma_ora_herrera_unoccasione_vera/" target="_blank">Corriere dello Sport</a>. Eusebio Di Francesco wants to reinforce his midfield in January after Kevin Strootman left to join Marseille before the summer transfer window closed. Herrera has a €40 million (£36m/$46m) release clause in his contract, but he will be a free agent in July 2019, so Roma hope to lure him for around €15m (£13m/$17m) halfway through the season.

Diego Simeone is guaranteed to return to take over as Inter coach in the near future, according to his sister. The Argentine has been continually linked to the Serie A side, where he spent two seasons as a player, but has a contract at Atletico that runs until 2020. But the 48-year-old's return to San Siro is imminent, Natalia Simeone has said. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/diego-simeone-inter-matter-of-time-sister-atletico-madrid/jhdowze51y6d1jpihckl51u90" target="_blank">Read Natalia's comments here</a>

Wolves will stand firm in January amid growing interest in midfielder Ruben Neves, according to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/wolves-stance-ruben-neves-amid-15129083" target="_blank">Birmingham Mail</a>. Manchester City and Manchester United are both weighing up moves for the Portugal international, who has impressed during the early weeks of the Premier League season. But Wolves are unwilling to sell mid-season as they look to establish themselves back in the top-flight.

Wolves unlikely to let Neves go

Inter will make a January move for Lyon star Lucas Tousart as they look for an alternative to Luka Modric,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.corrieredellosport.it/" target="_blank">Corriere dello Sport</a> reports. The Serie A side tried to lure the Croatia star away from Real Madrid in the summer, but he opted to stay with the European champions. And with their midfield still in need of reinforcement, they hope to land one of France's most promising players, but will have to pay a large fee to convince Lyon to let the 21-year-old go.

Maurizio Sarri wants to reinforce the Chelsea defence with the signings of Alessio Romagnoli and Mattia Caldara from AC Milan, says <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/chelsea-sarri-vuole-romagnoli-e-caldara-la-posizione-del-milan-92861" target="_blank">Calciomercato</a>. The pair are tied to the Italian side for the long-term, but with Cesc Fabregas, David Luiz and Gary Cahill all expected to leave Chelsea soon, Sarri is willing to offer somsone in exchange to snap up one of his top targets in January. However, Milan have no desire to let them go.

Jose Mourinho has proven he is not the right coach for Manchester United, according to Eric Cantona. The Red Devils' early season struggles have seen the pressure pile on the Portuguese coach. And former star Cantona says it is <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/cantona-mourinho-the-wrong-man-for-man-utd-they-should-have/5mnty88b6lrf1fa4j4bvsf2z4" target="_blank">clear that the former Inter and Real Madrid boss does not fit in at United, saying Pep Guardiola is the man who should be occupying the&nbsp;Old Trafford hot seat</a>.

Juventus defender Daniele Rugani is close to agreeing a new deal with the Serie A champions, according to&nbsp;Corriere dello Sport&nbsp;(via&nbsp;<a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/chelsea-target-close-to-extending-juventus-deal-83924" target="_blank">CalcioMercato</a>). The Italy international was a summer target for Chelsea, but the Bianconeri were not willing to part with both him and Mattia Caldara, who joined AC Milan. And Rugani is now set to sign up to stay at the Allianz Stadium until 2025, earning himself&nbsp;€3 million-per-year in the process.
