Arsenal have announced David Luiz has signed a one-year contract extension, while loanees Cedric Soares and Pablo Mari have penned permanent deals. Veteran defender Luiz's deal with Arsenal was set to expire at the end of the month, and there had been doubts about whether the club would want to keep him following a series of erratic performances, including being sent off 25 minutes after coming on as a substitute against&nbsp;Manchester City&nbsp;last week. However the 33-year-old's experience - plus the lack of viable alternatives amid the coronavirus pandemic - has seen Arsenal move to keep him at the club. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/luiz-arsenal-contract-cedric-mari-permanent-deals/g2p1n5xhr8ob1om50u5f7ufm5" target="_blank">You can read our story in full here.</a>

Thiago Alcantara wants to leave Bayern Munich after deciding against signing a new contract - according to <a href="https://sportbild.bild.de/bundesliga/vereine/bayern-muenchen/thiago-vor-abschied-wechsel-transfer-fc-bayern-71448274.sport.html" target="_blank">Sport Bild</a>. The 29-year-old believes this summer represents his last chance to join another top club, with Liverpool now considering a summer bid. Bayern may be prepared to cash in on Thiago before he becomes a free agent in 2021, but will likely demand a fee within the region of €50 million (£45m/$57m) for a prized asset.

James Rodriguez says&nbsp;Real Madrid&nbsp;stopped him from joining another Spanish club last summer and that he also turned down down a move to&nbsp;Italy. Madrid invested €75 million (£68m/$85m) in James back in 2014, luring him to Santigo Bernabeu from&nbsp;Monaco&nbsp;on a five-year contract. The midfielder earned the big-money move after spearheading&nbsp;Colombia's run to the World Cup quarter-finals in&nbsp;Brazil, where he also finished as the tournament's top goalscorer. Unfortunately, the 28-year-old has been unable to build on that platform in the Spanish capital, falling down the pecking order under Zinedine Zidane amid persistent struggles for form and fitness.
