Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Atletico & Roma leading the chase for Lingard

Manchester United are prepared to launch a formal bid for Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho in the summer - as the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7957703/Manchester-United-rival-Chelsea-Jadon-Sancho-summer-transfer-window.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a> reports. Chelsea are reportedly willing to pay up to £100 million ($132m) for the 19-year-old, but&nbsp;the Red Devils are ready to match any offer their Premier League rivals submit. Sancho has contributed 12 goals and 12 assists to Dortmund's Bundesliga cause this season.

Kelman rose through the youth ranks at Roots Hall and was subject to interest from both Spurs and the Black Cats.&nbsp; The&nbsp;League Two club opted to hold onto the striker to aid in their bid to stabilise in the fourth tier.

Edinson Cavani's agent insists the money offered by Chelsea and&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;would not have been enough to tempt the Uruguayan to leave Paris Saint Germain, <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/edinson-cavanis-agent-explains-striker-21417709" target="_blank">as reported by the Mirror.</a> The striker was hoping for a move to Atletico Madrid in January but was unable to force one through with just six months remaining until he becomes a free agent. But his representative says that no amount of money could have pursuaded him to choose Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge.

Money not enough to tempt Cavani to Man Utd

Newcastle manager Steve Bruce admits he is growing increasingly concerned about the futures of Sean and Matty Longstaff, with the brothers yet to commit their long-term future to the north-east club. Sean Longstaff, who was a transfer target for&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;over the summer, has two-and-a-half years left on his current deal while younger brother Matty is out of contract at the end of the season. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/concern-for-newcastle-as-man-utd-target-longstaff-locked-in/bzapvlyw82d81u6vmw7i188fm" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Everton are preparing to offer Mason Holgate a new contract, according to the <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/02/03/everton-look-reward-mason-holgate-new-contract/" target="_blank">Telegraph.</a> The 23-year-old has established himself as first-choice centre-half this season and has also demonstrated his versatility by stepping into midfield at times. Holgate, whose current deal expires in 2022, joined Everton from Barnsley in the summer of 2015.

Inter were close to agreeing a deal for Leicester striker Islam Slimani during the final few days of the January window, reports <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/inter-slimani-era-davvero-vicino-ecco-perche-l-affare-e-saltato-83326" target="_blank">Calciomercato.</a> Slimani is currently on loan at Monaco but there were rumours the&nbsp;Algerian was ready to cut that deal short and move elsewhere. Inter were keen on signing the 31-year-old as a backup to Romelu Lukaku and talks reached an advanced stage, only to collapse&nbsp;at&nbsp;the last moment.

Southend hope to re-sign Ted Smith but face competition from Tottenham for the goalkeeper, according to the <a href="https://www.echo-news.co.uk/sport/18208162.southend-united-make-offer-ted-smith-face-competition-tottenham-hotspur/" target="_blank">Southend Echo.</a> The League One side released Smith at the end of last season but are on the lookout for goalkeeping cover after selling Nathan Bishop to Manchester United. They have offered a contract to the 24-year-old but Tottenham, who took Smith on trial earlier this season, are also believed to be interested.

Kylian Mbappe seemed furious at being substituted on Saturday but Thomas Tuchel does not think the attacker will use it as a reason to leave&nbsp;Paris Saint-Germain. The 21-year-old has long been linked with a move to&nbsp;Real Madrid&nbsp;and Zinedine Zidane has made no effort to hide his admiration for the former&nbsp;Monaco&nbsp;striker. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/kylian-mbappe-substitution-row-leave-paris-saint-germain/1benjkhawifc216e6slzscycc0" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Fernando Llorente was offered to Barcelona as a short-term solution to their striker shortage last month, reports <a href="https://as.com/futbol/2020/02/02/primera/1580602197_510119.html">AS</a>. Luis Suarez has been ruled out until the end of the season with a knee injury, leaving Barca&nbsp;light in the forward positions. Llorente, almost 35, would have made for an eyebrow-raising addition to the squad, but the Catalan giants ultimately decided against signing him from Napoli.

Arsenal and Everton failed in their bids to sign Lille defender Gabriel in January, according to <a href="https://le10sport.com/football/mercato/exclu-mercato-losc-arsenal-et-everton-ont-degaine-des-offres-490785">Le10Sport</a>. Gabriel, 22, has made 29 appearances for the Ligue 1 side this season. Though Arsenal and Everton both submitted firm offers, they fell below Lille's valuation and, rather than sell him, they convinced him to sign a contract extension until 2023 instead.

Gareth Bale is most likely to leave Real Madrid for the Chinese Super League or MLS, reports the <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/gareth-bale-saga-uncovered-mls-21423580">Daily Star</a>. Bale's wages are a stumbling block for the vast majority of European clubs, while he is highly unlikely to be offered an extension to his current deal as things stand. His contract at the Bernabeu&nbsp;runs until 2022 and his agent&nbsp;Jonathan Barnett has suggested that he could stick it out until then. At that point, a big-money move to China or the US beckons.

Erling Braut Haaland was never likely to sign for Manchester United over Borussia Dortmund, according to <a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/11925368/man-utds-transfer-deadline-day-dealings-assessed">Sky Sports'</a>&nbsp;Kaveh Solhekol. Haaland, who has scored seven goals in his first three games for BVB, has fulfilled a lifelong dream by moving to&nbsp;the Bundesliga. He has wanted to play in Germany ever since he was a kid and, while he may move to the Premier League one day, it was always the plan for him to link up with a German club&nbsp;in January.

Steve Bruce has expressed his concern over Matty Longstaff's contract wrangle with Newcastle. Longstaff, 19, is out of contract in the summer and is free to hold talks with foreign clubs as things stand. "It's a concern for us all, of course it is," Bruce said.&nbsp;"I hope we can get that tied up, I really do. "But they've got the power these days, the players. We see it often now, with young players as well. I hope there's a bit of common sense. There's nobody, at 19, [who's] played more games than him." Were Longstaff to leave, Newcastle would be owed a compensation package of just £400,000. Older brother Sean Longstaff is tied down until 2022, though he is also stalling on a new deal.

Marcus McGuane could still leave Barcelona for Nottingham Forest despite the deal being delayed, reports the <a href="https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/transfer-news/marcus-mcguane-nottingham-forest-move-3807584">Nottingham Post</a>. McGuane, who came through the Arsenal academy before leaving in 2018 to link up with Barcelona B, has been on loan at SC Telstar in the Netherlands, but&nbsp;a tweet from the club's official account suggests that his loan has been cut short to facilitate a move to Forest. Though deadline day has been and gone and negotiations over terms may be ongoing, a permanent transfer is still on the cards as long as all the necessary paperwork was filed on time. While neither Barca nor Forest have officially confirmed the move, it could happen imminently. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Good luck Marcus <a href="https://twitter.com/NFFC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NFFC</a> 💪🏼 <a href="https://t.co/vtpqAWeJ1g">pic.twitter.com/vtpqAWeJ1g</a> — Witte Leeuwen (@telstar1963nv) <a href="https://twitter.com/telstar1963nv/status/1223553716185436160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 1, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Manchester United considered a late move for Brighton's 36-year-old striker Glenn Murray before their deadline day capture of Odion Ighalo, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7962005/Manchester-United-considered-Glenn-Murray-end-January-transfer-window.html?">Mail.</a> The Red Devils were desperate to add to their forward line during the window and were linked with a host of strikers as Friday's deadline approached. Murray, who signed a new one-year contract with Brighton on Monday, was among those considered before they moved for Igahlo just before the deadline.
