Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Barcelona scout teen Salzburg sensation Haaland

Real Madrid would have to fork out a whopping €80 million (£70m/$80m) if they were to fire Zinedine Zidane this season. The French coach has come under pressure from the Madrid supporters for the team's start to the campaign and it only increased after they were outclassed by Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. There are calls for Zidane to be sacked, but&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/real-madrid/echar-zidane-costaria-millones-euros-real-madrid-7642052" target="_blank">Sport</a>&nbsp;claims that the coach's €13m per year salary would have to be paid in full for the rest of his contract. He would be owed a total of €39m, which means the taxes Madrid would have to pay would take it up to €80m. And the same outlet also <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/real-madrid/otro-fracaso-tactico-zidane-7641435" target="_blank">reports</a>&nbsp;that president Florentino Perez has no intention of getting rid of Zidane, meaning he will only leave if he resigns.

Callum Hudson-Odoi has signed a new deal at Chelsea, it has been confirmed. The winger's previous deal was set to expire this summer and he was the subject of multiple bids last winter by Bayern Munich. The 18-year-old suffered an Achilles tear last season that kept him out the start of the 2019-20 campaign but nears a return, having featured for the U-23 Chelsea side last week. His new deal will tie him to the club until 2024 and&nbsp;will see him earn up to £180,000-a-week. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/hudson-odoi-signs-new-five-year-180000-a-week-chelsea-deal/wmh9b2s0vjj01fol8d48beo49" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Manchester City star David Silva will join David Beckham's Inter Miami side in Major League soccer, reports the <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/david-silva-man-city-transfer-news-david-beckham-inter-miami-cf-mls-major-league-soccer-latest-a9112256.html" target="_blank">Independent</a>.&nbsp; Silva's contract expires after the end of the Premier League season, and having said he will never join another PL side, he is intrigued by becoming the star man of the new MLS franchise. The midfielder is considered a more realistic target than Lionel Messi or Luis Suarez, and should he sign on free, would join Miami midway through their inagural season.&nbsp;

Erling Haaland has seen his&nbsp;Champions League&nbsp;hat-trick heroics for Red Bull Salzburg spark talk of interest from&nbsp;Manchester United, and a switch to Old Trafford is not being ruled out despite the strong links of the 19-year-old’s father to Leeds and&nbsp;Manchester City. Alf-Inge Haaland has told TV2 of the Premier League talk: “It would be nice [if United and others showed interest]. It is important to distinguish between being a supporter and a job." <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/man-utd-move-for-haaland-not-out-of-the-equation-despite-fathers-/15n65nb2jl5511sehspr09prht" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Diego Maradona would be hard to resist, admits former&nbsp;Roma&nbsp;and&nbsp;Southampton&nbsp;man Dani Osvaldo, as speculation swirls over the retired striker’s potential return under the Argentine legend. Former&nbsp;Italy&nbsp;internationa Osvaldol, who last played in 2016, has been out of the game since in order to focus on his music career with band Barrio Viejo. But talk has emerged in recent days of the 33-year-old ending his self-imposed exile to play for Superliga&nbsp;outfit Gimnasia, who Maradona has taken charge of until the end of the season. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/i-hope-maradona-doenst-call-you-cant-say-no-to-diego-dani/shvekqc6wjtl1fjtumk6ysmq4" target="_blank">Read the full story here on Goal!</a>

There is talk Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke personally financed the club's large summer spend, reports the<a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/intrigue-surrounds-stan-kroenkes-real-20101415" target="_blank"> Mirror</a>. In the past, the club have used a self-sustaining transfer model with substantial funds kept aside in case of a season where they missed Europe entirely. But this summer Kroenke appears to have stepped in to inject additional funds, allowing the club to land the likes of former Lille attacker Nicolas Pepe.&nbsp;

Barcelona&nbsp;may elect to not continue their pursuit of Neymar next summer despite their lengthy attempts to bring the&nbsp;Brazil&nbsp;international&nbsp;back to Camp Nou ahead of the current campaign, CEO Oscar Grau has revealed. The Blaugrana spent much of the off-season seeking a deal to see them reunited with the striker who left for&nbsp;Paris Saint-Germain&nbsp;two years ago in&nbsp;a world-record deal that made him the most expensive player&nbsp;in the history of the sport. Grau admitted that Barca attempted several efforts to bring the forward back to&nbsp;Spain, but is not certain if those attempts in next summer. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/i-dont-know-if-well-try-to-sign-neymar-again-next-summer/v9r54m0f4vb31potu6v2rhhre" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Rivaldo has suggested that&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;won't need to go back in for&nbsp;Paris Saint-Germain&nbsp;forward Neymar if Ansu Fati continues to make waves at Camp Nou. Barca tried to bring the 27-year-old back to the club over the summer transfer window, although were ultimately unable to agree a deal with the&nbsp;Ligue 1&nbsp;champions. Injuries to&nbsp;Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembele&nbsp;opened the door to 16-year-old Fati to get a chance in the first team - an opportunity he's grabbed with both hands. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/barcelona-dont-need-to-sign-neymar-if-fati-keeps-starring/1stotxhz2t56k169114i66u72m" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal here!</a>

Former&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;forward Rivaldo believes&nbsp;Real Madrid&nbsp;were taught a footballing lesson by&nbsp;Paris Saint-Germain&nbsp;in the&nbsp;Champions League&nbsp;and believes Zinedine Zidane may have to spend big again in January. Los Blancos were beaten 3-0 by their&nbsp;Ligue 1&nbsp;opponents in their Champions League group-stage opener on Tuesday, with two goals from Angel Di Maria and one from Thomas Meunier securing a 3-0 win for the Parisians. To add to the misery for Zinedine Zidane's side, they failed to register a shot on target over the 90 minutes, while they also had two goals disallowed. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/psg-taught-real-madrid-a-lesson-zidane-may-have-to-spend/1d3js08tve8381fnmpfmvlfh6q" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal here!</a>

Eriksen, who was linked with a move to Real Madrid during the transfer window, was relatively ineffective against&nbsp;Olympiakos in the pair's 2-2 draw, but his manager remains happy with his loyalty to the club. "I am happy with the commitment of Christian," Pochettino stated.

Jurgen Klopp has overseen some of&nbsp;Liverpool’s most productive transfer business of the modern era and admits that his recruitment philosophy is to seek out "world-class potential". In an ideal world those that he is looking to bring into Anfield will already be at the very top of their game, although it can be difficult to unearth such talent, especially when working on a tight budget. Liverpool have been able to loosen the purse strings at times, with the sale of Philippe Coutinho aiding that cause, but they have always sought to bring in the right additions. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/klopp-liverpool-always-looking-for-world-class-potential/dxyk52ugjqcy1o8keb6eqyyi0" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal here!</a>

Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake thinks fellow Chelsea academy graduate Dominic Solanke will show his class after a slow start to life at the south coast club. Solanke hasn't scored a league goal for Bournemouth since joining from Liverpool in the January transfer window. “You can see it in training every day and you could see it when he was younger at Chelsea," Ake told the Bournemouth Echo. "The technical ability he has and the goalscoring ability he has is of a great level. “I think we’ll really enjoy a lot from him this season. More is going to come, but on Sunday you could see the way he holds up balls is very important for the team, to keep the ball up there and to be strong.”
