Jose Mourinho is waiting for Manchester United to sack him, at which point he'll take the Real Madrid job, according to <a href="https://elpais.com/deportes/2018/10/22/actualidad/1540230001_623310.html" target="_blank">El Pais</a>. The United boss is under pressure at Old Trafford following a disappointing start to the season that sees them languishing in 10th place in the Premier League table. And El Pais claim that Mourinho has held talks with Madrid director&nbsp;Jose Angel Sanchez but that the situation is complicated by the Portuguese not being willing to resign from his current position and give up a hefty pay-out.

Juventus will continue their pursuit of Paul Pogba and Marcelo,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/calciomercato/2018/10/23-49045209/pogba_alex_sandro_e_marcelo_ecco_il_grande_intreccio/" target="_blank">Tuttosport</a>&nbsp;claims. The Serie A champions are hoping to add further star power to their side after landing Cristiano Ronaldo, and the wantaway Manchester United star is a favoured option. Juve may have some bargaining power in negotiations as United, along with Manchester City, hold an interest in Alex Sandro and the Italians are considering letting him leave. Massimiliano Allegri's team also still have eyes on Ronaldo's former Real Madrid team-mate Marcelo, who is said to want to leave La Liga.

Barcelona are the latest team linked with Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to <a href="https://www.donbalon.com/noticia/detalle/131143/barca-espia-crack-sorpresa-messi-fichaje-es-enero">Don Balon</a>. Facing three competitions this year, the club is looking to reinforce in the midfield with several other options like Arturo Vidal, Denis Suarez, Rafinha and Sergi Samper&nbsp;failing to impress. Lazio is unlikely to want to sell in January, but Barca hope to use one of the club's out of favour players as a makeweight to facilitate a deal.&nbsp;

Antonio Conte is the No. 1 target in Real Madrid's potential coaching search, although hiring the Italian could have big ramifications. According to <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/eden-hazard-boost-chelsea-real-13461809">the Mirror</a>,&nbsp;Conte is looking for a long-term deal with the club, and leadership isn't quite convinced about giving to him. Furthermore, the hiring of Conte would likely end the club's pursuit of Eden Hazard given the difficult relationship between the manager and the Belgian winger. Chelsea will be watching the situation closely as the Premier League club looks to keep hold of Hazard while also getting out of Conte's severance package should the coach find a new job.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis&nbsp;has told PSG striker Edinson Cavani&nbsp;that he will always be welcome at the Stadio San Paolo.

Gerardo Martino will leave Atlanta United at the end of the season after rejecting a new contract offer. The Argentine's deal expires at the end of 2018 and although the club hoped to continue with him, he confirmed his decision to leave. "This was not an easy decision to make," the ex-Barcelona boss said. "I have enjoyed my time with Atlanta United very much and am proud of what we have accomplished together in such a short time. "The decision was not made for financial reasons, negotiations with the front office were transparent and fair. It was simply the right move for me and my family at this time." <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/martino-to-leave-atlanta-united-amid-mexico-links/1fuw6e6gsj23015f5yuvier37d" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal right here!</a>

Hamburg have parted company with head coach Christian Titz after just seven months in charge. Titz had a strong finish to the 2017-18 season but was not able to help Hamburg avoid relegation from the Bundesliga. However, an inconsistent start to life in the second tier has seen HSV decide to go in a different direction as they look to go back to the top flight. Former Stuttgart boss Hannes Wolf has been chosen as his replacement, with Hamburg sitting just a point outside the playoffs after 10 games. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">HSV have parted company with Christian Titz - Hannes Wolf has taken over as head coach. <a href="https://t.co/TZLKa5Jbc5">pic.twitter.com/TZLKa5Jbc5</a>— HSV English (@HSV_English) <a href="https://twitter.com/HSV_English/status/1054697908958846976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 23, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Real Madrid must buy a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo because Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema cannot replace his goals, Predrag Mijatovic says. The Champions League holders are on a five-game winless streak and have scored just once in that run and their former player believes they must bring in a new star in January. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/bale-benzema-cant-fill-ronaldo-role-mijatovic-demands-real/i3ewh2v3zyq913fefa5c8tpm3" target="_blank">Read the full story here</a>

Eintracht Frankfurt have already decided they want to keep PSG loanee Kevin Trapp. The goalkeeper is out of the picture in France but has played regularly back in his homeland. "It's too soon to speak of anything concrete, but we certainly want to keep him," sporting director Bruno Hubner told <a href="https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/fussball/die-hoffnung-ist-da-bleibt-trapp-doch-laenger-57973244.bild.html" target="_blank">Bild</a>.

Worries regarding the form of Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele are growing, according to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20181023/452497496560/barca-dembele-malcom.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>. The France international has struggled since moving to Camp Nou last summer from Dortmund, and could lose his place to Malcom. Indeed, should the Brazilian take his chance, it could scupper Arsenal's hopes of signing him, while potentially putting Dembele on the market.
