Celtic manager Neil Lennon has insisted Dedryck Boyata could remain at the club next summer despite rumours linking him with a summer move to Hertha Berlin. "I’m not aware of that [agreement with Hertha], Dedryck was at the game today,” said Lennon, as per the <a href="https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/dedryck-boyata-staying-celtic-still-14246847" target="_blank">Daily Record</a>. “I wouldn’t be surprised if there is interest in him but we are still hopeful that we can persuade him to stay, which would be great for everyone.”

Barcelona head coach Ernesto Valverde has admitted he tried to sign striker Alvaro Morata in January. The Spanish international joined Atletico Madrid instead, and featured against Barca on Saturday night. “Here he was supposed to be the second striker, a different role than he has with Atletico,” said Valverde. “Every player must think about what he wants. Sometimes there are just meaningless conversations.”

Callum Hudson-Odoi is ready for an important role at&nbsp;Chelsea&nbsp;as he makes look like a better team when he plays, former star Eidur Gudjohnsen says. The 18-year-old winger has made 20 appearances for Maurizio Sarri's team, but started a Premier League game for the first time on Wednesday when the Blues&nbsp;beat&nbsp;Brighton&nbsp;3-0. But the academy graduate had grown frustrated with his lack of regular playing time at Stamford Bridge, leading to him handing in a transfer request to force a January move to&nbsp;Bayern Munich, who say they will return for him in the summer. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/hudson-odoi-makes-chelsea-a-better-team-says-gudjohnsen/ustf5rmuyvyp1vdacppnfpl4h" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>

Paulo Dybala was left furious by Massimiliano Allegri's decision to substitute him during Juventus' 2-1 win over AC Milan, claims&nbsp;<a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/report-furious-dybala-refuses-allegri-handshake-after-substituti-84914" target="_blank">Calciomercato</a>.&nbsp; The Argentina international, who has been in and out of the Juve team during a disappointing 2018-19 campaign, refused to shake his coach's hand when he left the pitch minutes after scoring from the penalty spot to tie the game at 1-1.

Zinedine Zidane declined to comment on Gareth Bale's future at&nbsp;Real Madrid&nbsp;and showed little sympathy for the Welshman after he was jeered by fans in Saturday's underwhelming 2-1 win over&nbsp;Eibar. When asked – again – if Bale will be at the club next season, Zidane told reporters: "We'll see. "I will not say what will happen. He's at Madrid and he has two years left on his contract. It is not the time to talk about that." <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/i-will-not-say-what-will-happen-zidane-wont-discuss-bales-madrid-/1nepbzj2ivya71f997ru0utvtv" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot has not been sacked by the club, according to ESPN. The 24-year-old, who looks set to leave the Parc de Princes this summer, had recently been suspended from the club after he was spotted partying in a Paris night-club. Rabiot also was reprimanded for liking Patrice Evra’s controversial Instagram post after PSG were eliminated from the Champions League. However, his temporary exile appears to have ended and the Frenchman is expected to report for training next week.&nbsp;

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has claimed there have been no offers for defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka. The youngster is enjoying a superb season and, a result, has been linked with a move to the likes of Manchester united and Manchester City. “I don’t believe that an offer has been made and I think this is still speculation,” claimed Hodgson in Friday’s press conference. “I can’t say that I am surprised [about the reported interest], I think he is playing so well and he has an incredible future in front of him. “But he has a four year contract with us and when we asked him to sign that, we were asking him to be a Crystal Palace player during that time, and I’ve not seen anything in his performances, or heard anything that causes me to change my mind or have any doubts that he is going to be our player,” he added.

Chelsea have hijacked Manchester United’s pursuit of Tanguy Ndombele. The Lyon man is a target for both sides, but with United’s Champions League status not yet secure for next season, the youngster is unsure of a move to Old Trafford. Should Chelsea qualify for the competition ahead of the Red Devils, <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2019/04/06/chelsea-ask-tanguy-ndombele-reject-manchester-united-wait-blues-transfer-9126601/" target="_blank">Metro</a> report they will attempt to sign the midfielder. However, any move is dependent on Chelsea’s looming transfer ban, which could still be delayed this summer.

Lorenzo Insigne has cast doubt over his Napoli future by conceding that he could leave the club at some stage. “I am 28 years old [this year] and it could happen that I receive an offer I can't refuse," he said. "I've proved what I am worth and there are people around who appreciate me. “Right now, in this phase, I am not even thinking about it. However, I know full well that there are those around who appreciate me. But there are no clubs, no approaches, no shows of interest.” <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-city-liverpool-linked-insigne-casts-doubt-over-napoli/1m07z200gjxey1kca8ks8dz2gn" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel wants to sign up to four new players for next season. The French side can win the Ligue 1 title again on Sunday if they beat Strasbourg, but they have already crashed out of the Champions League this term. PSG will start next season with the objective of going further in Europe's top competition and Tuchel believes they must strengthen in a couple of areas to give them a chance of achieving their goal. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/tuchel-targets-three-or-four-new-signings-for-paris-saint/11e89lz5l6ua115q7ws6nl64p3" target="_blank">Read what the coach said on Goal</a>

Inter fans have reiterated their desire to see Mauro Icardi sold this summer. The striker returned to the squad on Wednesday to help his side to a 4-0 win over Genoa, scoring a penalty kick in the second half. But the Argentine's impact has not changed the opinion of the supporters in the Curva Nord, who want Icardi gone because of the way he has treated the club. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/icardi-dug-his-own-grave-inters-curva-nord-ultras-demand/1o9rsp3rks35h11twqy7xoq009" target="_blank">Read more on Goal</a>

Bayern Munich need a player of a similar profile and calibre to Chelsea star N'Golo Kante, according to the Bundesliga champions' coach. The France midfielder has developed into one of the best midfielders in the game and has already won the World Cup and two Premier League titles. And Kovac says the 28-year-old is exactly the type Bayern are missing in the middle of the pitch at the moment.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/kovac-chelsea-star-kante-is-what-bayern-are-missing/1qkolm3kzyr5n1q5skax06akf9" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Inter have agreed to let Ivan Perisic leave this summer if he helps the Serie A side book a place in next season's Champions League. The Croatia winger has long been linked with a move away from San Siro, with Manchester United and Arsenal failing in recent attempts to sign him. But Perisic, 30, still dreams of a move to the Premier League and sees this summer as the right time to go. And Inter are willing to bid farewell to him if they achieve their goal of finishing in the Italian top-flight's top four. But the Nerazzurri will still be demanding upwards of €35&nbsp;million (£30m/$39m).

That's according to agent Jean-Pierre Bernes, who is quoted by <a href="https://twitter.com/GFFN/status/1114440792565854210" target="_blank">L'Equipe</a>: "We will know maybe the real circumstances that prevented Fekir’s move to Liverpool.

Unai Emery admits Arsenal would&nbsp;struggle to splash out £75 million on one player - such as&nbsp;Liverpool&nbsp;did to sign Virgil van Dijk - but says the Gunners must spend this summer to improve their squad. As was shown in January when Arsenal could only bring players in on loan, money is relatively tight in north London, but things will improve ahead of the 2019-20 season thanks to the club’s new commercial deals with Adidas and Emirates. As it stands, the club is working towards a transfer budget of around £45m, but that will rise should Emery’s side go on and secure&nbsp;Champions League&nbsp;football. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/emery-eyes-summer-transfer-spree-as-arsenal-boss-looks-to/qcy9r8c92e501m8lxzvbu4439" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>
