Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Chelsea willing to sell Kante

Real Madrid's quest to continue snapping up the best of&nbsp;Brazil's young talent shows no sign of slowing down. Having captured Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Reinier and Eder Militao in recent seasons, they have now set their sights on Sao Paulo sensation Igor Gomes. The record European champions may have to fight for the 21-year-old midfielder's signature though, as none other than arch-rivals&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;are also tracking his movements ahead of a prospective battle once the transfer window opens. But who is this burgeoning attacking talent? <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/the-new-kaka-but-inspired-by-de-bruyne-meet-madrid-barca/1kzoi0ksgsr1m16pgi1iuh70ce" target="_blank">You can find out by reading our exclusive feature here.</a>

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are both interested in signing the World Cup-winning midfielder, whose current contract at Stamford Bridge is not due to expire until 2023.

FC Cincinnati have identified Jaap Stam and Dominic Kinnear as candidates to become the club's next permanent manager - according to <a href="https://theathletic.com/1738648/2020/04/10/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>.

Borussia Dortmund&nbsp;midfielder and 2014 World Cup winner Mario Gotze has switched agents as he appears prepared to leave the&nbsp;Bundesliga&nbsp;club.

Chelsea are ready to go toe-to-toe with Arsenal in the transfer market for Paris Saint-Germain full-back Layvin Kurzawa - according to <a href="https://www.90min.com/posts/6591595-chelsea-to-consider-hijacking-arsenal-s-layvin-kurzawa-move-should-ben-chilwell-pursuit-fail?view_source=categories_page&amp;view_medium=[transfer]" target="_blank">90min</a>. Leicester's Ben Chilwell is also on the Blues' radar, but&nbsp;is likely to cost around £75 million ($94m), while Kurzawa is due to become a free agent this summer. However, Arsenal have been linked with the 27-year-old for several months, and Chelsea will have to move quickly to hi-jack any potential deal.

After a difficult start to the season under&nbsp;Marco Giampaolo, Milan appointed&nbsp;Stefano Pioli&nbsp;in October and the club are now sitting in seventh place in Serie A. But&nbsp;Rangnick, who has managed&nbsp;Schalke,&nbsp;Hoffenheim&nbsp;and&nbsp;RB Leipzig among others, has been persistently linked to the San Siro job.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/ralf-rangnick-rejects-milan-job-rumours-serie-a-bundesliga/qwaowiywdmqg1a0yk02vf4y4p" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal</a>

Michael Rummenigge reckons that Bayern Munich may be able to sign Leroy Sane for a cut-rate price of&nbsp;​€50 million (£55m/$44m). Bayern have long been linked with a move for the Manchester City star, who has been out of action since August with a knee injury. Rummenigge&nbsp;– brother of Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz – believes the coronavirus crisis will knock down the astronomical fees normally paid out in the transfer market. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/maybe-sane-will-only-cost-around-30-to-50-million-bayern-can-get-/kuq9hwrg0zhl1odnrf88u054f" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal</a>

Real Madrid have included Tottenham star Harry Kane in their wish list for a new striker, according to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/real-madrid/20200409/48389384493/kroos-real-madrid.html?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=md" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo.</a> Madrid's primary objective is still Erling Haaland, but they know Borussia Dortmund won't be keen to sell a player they only just signed in January. Securing Kane also won't be easy, with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy a notoriously tough negotiator and Kane having a contract with Spurs through 2024.

Mexico international Miguel Layun admits he would welcome the opportunity to play for David Beckham at Inter Miami, with the 31-year-old hoping to end his career at Monterrey or in MLS. Rodolfo Pizarro has already trodden the path from Monterrey to Miami, becoming the expansion franchise’s second Designated Player, and it could be that another door opens at some stage. Layun said in a Q&amp;A on his Instagram account: “I would like to play for Inter Miami because David Beckham is there. I'm his fan and I would like to meet him and be able to share with him.” <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/david-beckham-mexico-miguel-layun-inter-miami-mls/1xagej2jfrs4r1rhv6rt4r82je" target="_blank">Read the full article on Goal</a>

Besiktas are hopeful that they can convince Arsenal to extend Mohamed Elneny's loan deal by an additional year, <a href="https://turkish-football.com/besiktas-want-arsenal-midfielder-mohamed-elneny-to-sign-for-an-additional-season/" target="_blank">Turkish Football</a> claims. The report states that the Istanbul giants are keen to ensure the midfielder finishes out the season with the club amid uncertainty surrounding the current coronavirus pandemic. By signing on for another season, both the 2019-20 and 2020-21 campaigns would, in theory, be completed in full and free up €2 million in wages for Arsenal to spend elsewhere.

Dwight McNeil has sparked talk of interest from Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle, but former Burnley star Kieran Trippier has urged the 20-year-old to remain at Turf Moor. Trippier took the decision to leave Lancashire when heading for Tottenham in 2015 and the current Atletico Madrid defender feels a player following in his footsteps needs to weigh up his options carefully. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/man-utd-arsenal-linked-mcneil-warned-off-burnley-exit-by/12tfy6iosig2s15bjbe4amt5og" target="_blank">Read Trippier's comments in full on Goal</a>

Premier League stars would be well within their rights to ignore recent proposals made by FIFA that aimed to address the issue of expiring contracts during the coronavirus-enforced suspension of football, with a leading lawyer revealing the governing body's motion is not enforceable by law. The likes of Willian, Jan Vertonghen, David Silva, Adam Lallana and more are all due to be free agents when their contracts expire at the end of June. FIFA&nbsp;suggested&nbsp;player contracts expiring in June could be&nbsp;“extended until such time that the season does actually end”, but Blackstone Chambers lawyer Nick De Marco QC says these proposals are not backed up by English employment law. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/vertonghen-willian-other-out-of-contract-stars-can-walk-away/1dwg2m4nmg0vl1xv5e2fvthggy" target="_blank">Read the story in full on Goal</a>

At 23, Coman is looking to kick-on in his career after&nbsp;a series of unfortunate injury struggles. He is considered to be the perfect heir to Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery at the Allianz Arena, with Bayern looking for another talismanic wideman to fill sizeable boots. Coman is up for the challenge, as he&nbsp;remains tied to a contract through to 2023, but concedes that he may be tempted to take on a new challenge away from the&nbsp;Bundesliga&nbsp;champions at some stage. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/kingsley-coman-bayern-munich-exit-germany/1ftryx77zl83s12r0ujeufa7ju" target="_blank">You can read his quotes here on Goal</a>

Juventus are interested in signing Roma's Bryan Cristante, and could re-sign&nbsp;Rolando Mandragora for that purpose. Mandragora signed for Udinese for £18 million in 2018, however Juve reportedly have a&nbsp;€26m (£22.8m) buy back option on the defensive midfielder&nbsp;and, according to Corriere dello Sport, could bring him back to Turin in order to offer him in exchange for Cristante. <a href="https://www.goal.com/it/notizie/corriere-dello-sport-mandragora-cristante-juventus-roma/1dkk08mn1dfga1gwjm88q8fiax" target="_blank">You can read the full story on Goal here.</a>
