Juventus forward Paulo Dybala could move to Real Madrid next summer, according to <a href="https://as.com/futbol/2019/02/10/primera/1549835941_074986.html?m1=cG9ydGFkYV9wb3J0YWRh&amp;m2=QUNUVUFMSURBRA%3D%3D&amp;m3=NQ%3D%3D&amp;m4=bm9ybWFs" target="_blank">AS</a>. The Argentine has had less game time since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo last year. He was an unused&nbsp;substitute for Juve's&nbsp;game against Parma last week and went down the tunnel in the 86th minute following Massimiliano Allegri's final substitution. Dybala later apologised for his actions, but was again left on the bench against Sassuolo on Sunday.&nbsp;

Signing Jadon Sancho was like winnning the lottery for Borussia Dortmund, according to&nbsp;German legend Lothar Matthaus.

Anthony Martial wants Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to remain as&nbsp;Manchester United manager and is enjoying the caretaker boss' "different intentions" when compared to predecessor Jose Mourinho.&nbsp; Martial scored a superb solo goal in United's 3-0 win over&nbsp;Fulham&nbsp;on Saturday – a result that lifted them into the top four of the&nbsp;Premier League&nbsp;for the first time since the opening day of the season. Ten wins from 11 unbeaten games under Solskjaer have restored a feel-good factor at Old Trafford and that is something Martial hopes the 45-year-old is given the opportunity to continue beyond his short-term deal, which runs until the end of the 2018-19 campaign. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/his-confidence-was-a-boost-to-us-martial-backs-solskjaer-for/1bxdxrhyv7vxz1527zb01dwq0f" target="_blank">Read the full story here on Goal!</a>

Mesut Ozil's latest sick day has his relationship with Arsenal at a breaking point according to the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/mesut-ozils-relationship-arsenal-almost-13985702" target="_blank">Mirror</a>. The playmaker, who is the club's highest earner, missed Saturday's win against Bournemouth with illness and has now missed as many games as he has played this season. Arsenal are finding it increasingly difficult to move Ozil on due to both his high wages, and his injuries and illnesses turning teams off as only Inter and clubs in China have shown interest in his services.

Liverpool and Manchester United were both interested in Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey, but opted against signing him due to wage concerns, according to the <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/aaron-ramsey-why-man-utd-and-liverpool-decided-against-trying-to-sign-juventusbound-arsenal-a4063871.html" target="_blank">Evening Standard</a>. Ramsey, who reportedly has agreed to&nbsp;£400,000-a-week deal with Juventus, was a target of the Red Devils but the club decided against that level of committment for a player until a permanent manager is found. Jurgen Klopp likes Ramsey as well but decided to put his resources into strengthening areas other than central midfield, where he is considered to be well stocked.

Bayern Munich’s David Alaba sees his club’s interest in young players such as&nbsp;Callum Hudson-Odoi as proof of their potential, though he does not believe that will be the only players targeted by the&nbsp;&nbsp;Bundesliga&nbsp;champions in the transfer market. The Bundesliga champions spent January trying to land the Chelsea starlet and have promised to return in the summer for him, while also completing deals for Canada star Alphonso Davies and Hamburg's Jann-Fiete Arp. However, the&nbsp;Austria&nbsp;international&nbsp;also believes they are just part of the plan, with the club likely to target more established options as well. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/these-are-all-great-talents-alaba-hails-bayern-pursuit-of-hudson-/16vpqqk62hgux1auma9fj026v7" target="_blank">Read the full story here on Goal!</a>

Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez has said it was an easy decision to sign Salomon Rondon on loan from West Brom. The Magpies' boss told reporters ahead of his side's game against Wolves:&nbsp;"It is a risk to sign anyone in the Premier League because it is very demanding. But when they have been here in the Premier League, and after they come here and they perform, it is an easy decision. “Everybody can see he is doing well. He just needs to focus on trying to do well and score goals. "He could score more goals but he could play worse. He is giving others the opportunity to go forward, he is doing a lot of good things."
