Jordon Ibe will leave Bournemouth on July 1 regardless of whether the Premier League season has resumed and is ongoing, after the Cherries declined to offer him a contract extension. It continues a bad week for the winger, who had to apologise for breaking social distancing restrictions when he was pictured having a haircut at his home. Ibe, who joined Bournemouth with a big reputation having come through the Liverpool academy has scored just three goals in 44 appearances for Eddie Howe's side.

Liverpool&nbsp;should not be too disappointed if they miss out on signing Timo Werner this summer because of the coronavirus, former defender Jamie Carragher says. The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for the&nbsp;RB Leipzig&nbsp;striker, but reportedly face competition from&nbsp;Bundesliga&nbsp;giants&nbsp;Bayern Munich. The Premier League leaders may have an advantage over the Bavarian side as the&nbsp;24-year-old suggested he would&nbsp;rather move abroad than join another team in the German division.&nbsp; But Carragher believes the financial loss Liverpool have suffered due to the coronavirus pandemic may have ruined their chances of luring the&nbsp;Germany&nbsp;international to Anfield this year. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/liverpool-cant-complain-fail-sign-werner-carragher/1sj4bks3i31t1dhanqht06441" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Former&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;and&nbsp;Brazil&nbsp;star Rivaldo has urged Gareth Bale to cut short his troubled spell at&nbsp;Real Madrid&nbsp;and become a star with&nbsp;Newcastle United.&nbsp; Bale has long been linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu, with reports from&nbsp;Spain&nbsp;suggesting he is an isolated figure in the dressing room and unpopular with coach Zinedine Zidane.&nbsp;Madrid attempted to sell the&nbsp;Wales&nbsp;international last summer, only to find few suitors willing to take on his elevated wage demands.&nbsp; The upcoming transfer window will once more see a flurry of rumours surrounding Bale - and Rivaldo believes that the Magpies, expected to receive a cash windfall under their prospective new owners, could be the perfect destination. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/bale-superstar-status-newcastle-rivaldo/8vk4xxosadwv14cqksh4bbw2v" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>

Gent star Jonathan David&nbsp;says he is ready to move to a bigger club and has his sights set on the&nbsp;Bundesliga.

Barcelona have decided they will sell Jean-Clair Todibo this summer,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/todibo-primera-venta-barcelona-7968594" target="_blank">Sport</a>&nbsp;reports. The Catalan side want to raise funds to finance a bid for Inter star Lautaro Martinez and they are set to field several offers for Todibo. Schalke, where he is currently on loan, have an option to sign him for €25 million, but Everton are willing to match that price and Bayer Leverkusen are said to be interested, too. Barcelona see no reason to hold on to the defender and he will be the first one out the door at Camp Nou in the next transfer window.

Manchester United&nbsp;must include a loan return to Birmingham in any deal for Jude Bellingham, says Blues legend Trevor Francis, with the 16-year-old needing regular game time at this stage of his career. It has been suggested that the Red Devils will&nbsp;seek to buy into the midfielder’s obvious potential&nbsp;when the next transfer window opens. They are not the only ones to be monitoring Bellingham’s development, with&nbsp;Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea also in the mix, but are reported to be leading the chase. Ex-England&nbsp;international Francis told the&nbsp;Birmingham Mail: “Wherever Jude Bellingham goes I think he should have it written in the contract that he immediately goes back to&nbsp;Birmingham City&nbsp;to play as a loan player because he has got to improve and the only way he is going to improve is by playing regularly." <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/man-utd-loan-bellingham-deal-francis/u498o6fkyri61juc7t25cn1n8" target="_blank">You can read his comments in full on Goal here!</a>

Timo Werner must decide on his next move, according to team-mate Yussuf Poulsen, who feels&nbsp;RB Leipzig&nbsp;are powerless if their star man seeks a transfer. Liverpool&nbsp;are one of a number of clubs who have been persistently linked with the 24-year-old and Poulsen believes this puts his fellow attacker in a position of strength. "I cannot really estimate that," he told Stats Perform News when asked whether Werner would remain at the Red Bull Arena next season. "It's not about me and it's not a club's decision. It's his decision. If you ask him, you will get a better answer. "I can only say that I hope he will stay so we can keep scoring goals together next season. If that's not the case, then we have to accept. I would still wish him all the best for his future." <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/timo-werner-future-rb-leipzig-yussuf-poulsen-transfer-news/fhn54zgj9q0l1g3joilspf7xp" target="_blank">You can read his comments in full on Goal.</a>

Jadon Sancho has been warned off a move to&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;by Borussia Dortmund team mate Emre Can. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is said to be in the market for more creativity and firepower, with Sancho boasting the potential to tick both of those boxes in a wide attacking role. Can appreciates why a talented team-mate is attracting interest, given his exploits since arriving in&nbsp;Germany&nbsp;as an unproven 17-year-old, but sees&nbsp;no reason why Sancho would want to trade one European heavyweight for another. He told&nbsp;SportBild: “I see no reason to put Manchester United above Borussia Dortmund. Not from a sporting side and not because of the appeal. I'd tell him to stay put and let's play together forever.” <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/emre-can-sancho-man-utd-warning/1k142bd6sd1t119kq3u7z0aiho" target="_blank">You can read Can's comments in full on Goal!</a>

Paul Pogba will never be “bigger than&nbsp;Manchester United”, says Paul Ince, with the Red Devils urged to ask whether they really need the Frenchman as they seek to resolve&nbsp;a distracting saga. Ince has told the Evening Standard: "The way Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer] is going, you don’t want any disruptions. He either knuckles down and starts performing the way he should be performing for the money he cost, or they sell him." <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/pogba-isnt-bigger-than-man-utd-ince/1330eb227ii831bccobx77zv24" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Gareth Bale has not been snubbed by sides in MLS, according to his agent Jonathan Barnett. The Real Madrid forward has opened the door for a move to America to be made and his represenative has told <a href="https://espndeportes.espn.com/futbol/espana/nota/_/id/6961246/agente-de-gareth-bale-desmiente-supuesta-oferta-de-la-mls-es-basura" target="_blank">ESPN</a> that it is "rubbish" to suggest those doors have been slammed in the Welshman's face.

Federico Higuain, who also serves as a coaching assistant with the MLS club, is keen to see the Juventus striker make the move. Pipita, however, still has a year left on his contract in Turin, meaning United would have to pay a fee to prise him away from the Serie A champions.

AC Milan midfielder Giacomo Bonventura is closing in on a free transfer to Roma, <a href="https://www.corrieredellosport.it/" target="_blank">Corriere dello Sport</a> reports. Former club Atalanta, as well as Torino and Fiorentina, had harboured an interest in the 30-year-old, but it is said that Roma's interest is the most concrete. If the deal is finalised, the Italy international will sign a two-year deal with an option for a third, with a salary set at around €2 million per season.

Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Manchester United are all interested in signing West Ham wonderkid Benicio Boaitey, Sport1 reports.

Bayern Munich will soon open talks with Inter over the purchase of Ivan Perisic, according to club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. The Bundesliga side initially landed the Croatian attacker on loan for a fee of around €5 million, with a further €20m (£18m/$22m) being required to purchase the player outright. The option to buy clause has seemingly run out, however, and negotiations will be required to ensure the acquisition of the winger's full rights. Speaking to <a href="https://www.gazzetta.it/" target="_blank">Gazzetta dello Sport</a>, Rummenigge said: “Perisic has only just returned from a foot injury. We will speak to Inter as soon as he has played a few matches.” Reports have suggested the Nerazzurri would be willing to accept a reduced fee of around €10-15m.
