Toni Kroos has dropped a Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid transfer hint while discussing Lionel Messi's Barcelona exit potentially weakening his club's main rivals. Messi's 21-year career at Camp Nou officially came to an end at the start of the month when Barca announced that they were unable to re-sign the 34-year-old due to their ongoing struggle to get below La Liga's current wage limit. PSG subsequently swooped in to sign Messi on a free transfer, but it has been suggested that they could lose another star name in the form of Mbappe, who has yet to reach an agreement with the club over a contract extension.

Borussia Dortmund manager Marco Rose has insisted Erling Haaland could stay at Borussia Dortmund beyond the 2021-2022 season amid ongoing transfer rumours. "He still has a long-term contract with us. Just because the public is constantly talking about him leaving BVB next summer, that doesn't necessarily have to be the case," Rose said during an interview with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/haaland-could-stay-at-dortmund-beyond-2021-2022-season/u9qqe4d6u3j01wxn4xeupdp4p" target="_blank">Sport Bild.</a> "In the end, Erling has to decide for himself where he sees his future.
