Manchester United want to make Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen central to their summer rebuild, according to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/manchesterunited/man-united-plot-christian-eriksen-move-as-ole-gunnar-solskjaer-puts-tottenham-star-at-heart-of-a4127396.html?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1556276091" target="_blank">Evening Standard</a>. The Denmark international is out of contract in June 2020, and could be allowed to leave this summer should he decide against signing a new deal. Real Madrid are also keen, with Tottenham set to demand at least £60 million ($77.5m) should they sell.

Paul Pogba may be headed for a summer exit at Manchester United as he is tearing the dressing room apart, according to the <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/8941415/man-utd-players-solskjaer-authority-tame-pogba/" target="_blank">Sun</a>. There is a belief Pogba cannot be controlled by Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the manager tries to exert himself on the dressing room. Pogba wants to go to Real Madrid, and his agent Mino Raiola cancelled a meeting with United last week, indicating the star's desire to leave.&nbsp;

Victorien Angban leaves the 42-strong&nbsp;Chelsea&nbsp;loan army, as a clause in his contract sees him move permanently to Metz for around €6 million (£5m/$7m) after they beat Red Star 2-1 to secure&nbsp;Ligue 1&nbsp;status for next season,&nbsp;Goal&nbsp;understands. The move represents a significant outlay for Metz who have now broken their record transfer fee, while Chelsea have made a vast profit having signed the loan star directly from Stade d'Abidjan in the&nbsp;Ivory Coast. The Ivory Coast international departs having never played a competitive game for Chelsea after joining as an 18-year-old in 2015 before immediately moving on loan. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/chelsea-loanee-victorien-angban-joins-metz-in-6m-deal-as/1764ob58emwgz1kmucoq2ebf7p" target="_blank">Read the full story right here on Goal!</a>

Inter have yet to make a decision on the future of Mauro Icardi after leaning toward selling him, according to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/exclusive-inter-yet-to-make-decision-about-icardi-club-still-con-16927" target="_blank">Calciomercato.com</a>. The club were ready to move on, but Icardi has indicated he wants to stay, fight for his place in the team next season and commit long term. Inter also have not received any offers for Icardi but if they want maximum value for the striker, the club will have to sell this summer.

Juventus are on alert after learning Real Madrid want over €100 million (£86m/$111m) for centre-back&nbsp;Raphael Varane, according to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/exclusive-juventus-alerted-as-real-want-over-100-million-for-man-26292" target="_blank">Calciomercato.com</a>. Madrid don't want to sell Varane and hope he will sign a new deal and have therefore set a high price to any prospective bidders. Manchester United also are targeting Varane, and Juventus now know what it will take to land the France international.

D.C. United's Luciano Acosta could still leave the club after the season even if he signs a new multi-year deal, according to the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/04/26/luciano-acosta-contract-talks-with-dc-united-could-unfold-like-choose-your-own-adventure/?noredirect=on&amp;utm_term=.a18746f5a6b6" target="_blank">Washington Post</a>. Acosta's contract expires at the end of the season and he could leave for free, but may opt to sign a new contract to increase his wages. Doing so would be done with assurances he would be allowed to leave if a good offer came in, while also allowing the MLS club to recoup a higher transfer fee.

Chelsea are ready to offer former goalkeeper Petr Cech a newly created role within the club's changing set-up, according to the <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/04/26/chelsea-preparing-offer-petr-cech-role-end-season/" target="_blank">Telegraph</a>. Cech is retiring at the end of the year and the Blues would want him to take on part of the responsibilities left vacant by the departure of technical director&nbsp;Michael Emenalo in 2017. His return would also be seen as a boon to the fans as the club struggles with the prospect of falling further behind rivals Manchester City and Liverpool, as well as instability at the manager position.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says the last 10 days have been eye opening in terms of the task ahead of rebuilding the squad. The club have lost seven of their last nine games after a great start under Solskjaer earned&nbsp;him the permanent manager position. And he admitted the recent poor run has revealed the difficulty of the task before him, though he remains committed toward gradual changes rather than a massive overhaul. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/solskjaer-admits-last-10-days-have-been-an-eye-opener-for/11v8zz4hzxggx1nyed8gq0e1a9" target="_blank">Read the full story here on Goal!</a>

Adrien Rabiot will not join Real Madrid after Zinedine Zidane decided to put the club's resources into chasing other targets this summer, according to <a href="https://en.as.com/en/2019/04/26/football/1556281881_324086.html" target="_blank">AS</a>. Any chance the Frenchman had at joining the club was ended by a combination of his wage demands and Zidane's desire to prioritise other options, like Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kante. Rabiot's future is growing increasingly uncertain, as his previously large list of suitors continues to dwindle.

Juve have put together a list of several players they are willing to exchange as part of a deal for Benfica star Joao Felix, <a href="https://www.abola.pt/nnh/Noticias/Ver/785002" target="_blank">A Bola</a> reports.&nbsp; With Juve unwilling to pay Felix's €120 million (£104m/$134m) buyout clause, they instead are looking to include multiple players in the deal to lower the fee they'd pay Benfica.&nbsp; The players are all 21 or younger, and include&nbsp;Brazilian left-back&nbsp;Rogerio, centre-back&nbsp;Joao Serrao, right-back Lucas Rosa and winger&nbsp;Matheus Pereira.

Jamie Carragher has urged&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer&nbsp;to sell&nbsp;Paul Pogba. Pogba has tallied 13 goals and nine assists this season, but has also drawn criticism for his inconsistent performances with United.&nbsp; Carragher has insisted that Pogba should not be considered world class, and he has not lived up to the £89 million fee United paid to land him from Juventus in 2016.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/man-utd-boss-solskjaer-must-be-ruthless-and-sell-pogba/19031kkgwnzgo1sh8zbd5k1jao" target="_blank">Read the full story here.&nbsp;</a>

Arsenal&nbsp;have “10 players who aren’t good enough”, says Kevin Campbell, with&nbsp;Unai Emery needing to sanction a number of sales&nbsp;in order to bring in reinforcements that can strengthen his squad.

Campbell believes that is because there are too many average performers on the club’s books, with the former Gunners striker calling for a cull at the Emirates Stadium.

Paris Saint-Germain&nbsp;forward Neymar has aired his ambition to one day play alongside&nbsp;Chelsea&nbsp;star Eden Hazard, with both men having been linked with moves to&nbsp;Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's directors are looking to sell Isco this summer, with the club looking to move on sooner, rather than later, according to <a href="https://en.as.com/en/2019/04/25/football/1556203310_874196.html" target="_blank">AS</a>. While Zinedine Zidane remains a fan of Isco, his high view of the attacker is not universal throughout the club.

Real Madrid&nbsp;turned down a €180 million (£155m/$200m) offer for Marco Asensio, according to the midfielder's agent Horacio Gaggioli. Asensio has endured a disappointing campaign, starting just 20 of Madrid's 42&nbsp;La Liga&nbsp;and&nbsp;Champions League&nbsp;matches, which has led to speculation that he could leave at the end of the season. Liverpool&nbsp;and&nbsp;Juventus&nbsp;are both rumoured to be interested in the&nbsp;Spaininternational, but his representative insisted neither the player nor the La Liga club are keen&nbsp;on&nbsp;a transfer. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/madrid-have-turned-down-180m-for-asensio-says-agent/6d18cgt1sugm1fe20c9zab5cw" target="_blank">Read the full story right here on Goal!</a>
