Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Chelsea willing to include Hudson-Odoi in Coman deal

Chelsea are willing to include Callum Hudson-Odoi in any potential deal for Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman - according to <a href="https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Coman-tolisso-thuram-quel-mercato-pour-les-bleus-d-allemagne/1271138" target="_blank">L'Equipe</a>. The Blues would like to negotiate a player-plus-cash agreement that could allow Bayern to reinvest in another potential new signing in addition to landing long-term target Hudson-Odoi. The Englishman is not in Thomas Tuchel's plans at Chelsea for next season, and the Blues head coach has long been an admirer of Coman, who Bayern are valuing at €90 million (£77m/$106m).

The Nerazzurri want to sign the 25-year-old as a replacement for Archaf Hakimi, who has just joined Paris Saint-Germain, but can only afford to commit to a loan deal at the moment. PSV are holding out for a permanent offer for Dumfries, meaning Inter will likely have to sell more players before being in a position to meet their demands.

The Blaugrana are ready to offload Pjanic as they bid to cut their salary costs, but Juve are not the only side interested in the playmaker, who has also been linked with Premier League giants Chelsea.

Lionel Messi joining Paris Saint-Germain was a "dream", says Leandro Paredes, who has been left lamenting the fact that a deal for his Argentina team-mate "didn't happen". Messi shocked the football world by handing in a formal transfer request last summer, and although he eventually ended up staying at Camp Nou for the final year of his contract, the 2020-21 campaign was rife with speculation over which club he would head to next. PSG was touted as the most likely destination for the 34-year-old, who is now officially a free agent, but&nbsp;Goal&nbsp;has learned that&nbsp;Barca have reached an agreement to re-sign the talismanic performer&nbsp;on another long-term deal.

The Blaugrana cannot afford Lille's €35 million (£30m/$41m) asking price for the Portuguese, but would like to bring him on loan with an option to buy. Sanches helped Lille win the Ligue 1 title last season, and has also been linked with Liverpool.

The Bianconeri have identified the 24-year-old as a priority target, but City are demanding €50 million (£43m/$59m)&nbsp;for the Brazilian forward.
