Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Sane closing in on Bayern Munich move

Riqui Puig is a hot prospect on the books at Barcelona and <a href="https://www.sport.es/en/news/barca/at-barca-its-raining-offers-for-riqui-puig-7929205" target="_blank">Sport</a> claims that Premier League clubs are among those mulling over an approach. Real Betis, Celta Vigo, Granada, Ajax and teams from the Bundesliga are also keen on the 20-year-old midfielder.

Premier League interest in Puig

Barcelona are interested in signing Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante - according to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20200415/48515482110/coutinho-kante-trueque-posible-para-el-barca.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>. The Blaugrana have set their sights on the Frenchman as a possible replacement for Ivan Rakitic, who is set to leave Camp Nou this summer. Chelsea may suggest a swap deal involving Philippe Coutinho, as they look to add another creative playmaker to their ranks.

Manchester City star Leroy Sane is closing in on a move to Bayern Munich, with protracted discussions between the two clubs nearing a conclusion, according to the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-star-leroy-sane-21871813" target="_blank">Mirror</a>. The Bundesliga giants will offer City £70 million ($88m) for the 24-year-old - about half as much as what City demanded before the German international suffered a serious knee injury at the start of the season. Sane's contract in Manchester&nbsp;expires at the end of the 2020-21 season.

Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa will remain at Wanda Metropolitano until his current contract expires in 2021 - according to <a href="https://www.marca.com/en/football/spanish-football/2020/04/16/5e978057ca47418a188b45cc.html" target="_blank">Marca</a>. It had been suggested that the 31-year-old could be sold in the summer transfer window, but&nbsp;Los Rojiblancos have yet to receive any formal offers. Diego Simeone still believes in Costa and wants him to stay put, despite the fact he has struggled for form and fitness since returning to the club in 2018.

The Serie A champions are, however, concerned that they will struggle to generate the funds they are after from a player who has made little impression across a debut campaign in Italy.

Everton are looking to make Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes the first signing of Carlo Ancelotti's reign, claims <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/apr/16/everton-expect-lilles-gabriel-magalhaes-to-be-ancelottis-first-signing-for-30m" target="_blank">The Guardian</a>. The Toffees have identified the 22-year-old as a top target and are keen to push through a £30 million ($38m) deal.

Juventus&nbsp;will eventually need to take the&nbsp;retirement decision out of Gianluigi Buffon’s hands as the 42-year-old goalkeeper would happily play until he is 50, say&nbsp;Fabio Cannavaro and Francesco Totti. Buffon has hinted on a regular basis in the past that the day may be approaching for him to hang up his gloves, but those plans keep being pushed back. Former Juve team-mate Cannavaro believes that will remain the case for as long as a modern day legend is allowed to keep putting pen to paper. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/juventus-will-have-to-stop-buffon-playing-until-50-cannavaro/17jqw5k94rd8a1jlkbk9xd6n24">Read the full story right here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

Former Newcastle head coach Sam Allardyce says he doesn't "understand why Rafael Benitez was deemed to be so good" at St James' Park&nbsp;and does not think the club should re-appoint him once their proposed takeover is completed. Magpies owner Mike Ashley has reportedly agreed to sell the club to&nbsp;PCP Capital Partners, who have been backed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund to complete a £300 million ($375m) takeover, and the deal looks set to leave Steve Bruce's future in the dugout up in the air. Allardyce, who also enjoyed a managerial stint at Newcastle in 2007-08, believes it would be a mistake for his former employers&nbsp;to part ways with Bruce, who has steered the team away from a relegation dog fight over the last few months. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/newcastle-negative-football-benitez-allardyce-urges-magpies/13h874togy5y1k4eygs464w0h">Read the full story right here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

Martin Odegaard is cut from the same cloth as former&nbsp;Real Madrid&nbsp;star Xabi Alonso and could go on to fill the boots of Luka Modric at Santiago Bernabeu, claims&nbsp;Real Sociedad&nbsp;legend Roberto Lopez Ufarte. Having previously caught the eye at Heerenveen and Vitesse in the Eredivisie,&nbsp;Odegaard is now proving his worth in La Liga with Sociedad on a two-year loan deal. However, the 21-year-old has made no secret of the fact that intends to make a breakthrough in Madrid&nbsp;and his performances in the current campaign have led to suggestions that his latest loan could be cut short, with 34-year-old Modric nearing the end of his career. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/odegaard-alonso-modric-real-madrid-sociedad-ufarte/1gomu6rbzn66o10064v6mz9y8s">Read the full story right here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and&nbsp;Manchester United’s rich history of boasting “the biggest stars in the world” helped to convince Bruno Fernandes to join the club, admits the Portuguese midfielder. Fernandes claims a star-studded roll of honour at the Theatre of Dreams had United registering on his radar long before the opportunity to link up with one of the biggest teams on the planet presented itself. The Red Devils tied up a €55 million (£47m/$60m) agreement with&nbsp;Sporting&nbsp;for the 25-year-old during the winter transfer window. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/ronaldo-rooney-giggs-bruno-fernandes-man-utd-move/16ux9sv6k5j2r1qmu02brgtjwh">Read the full story right here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

David Moyes says missing out on Toni Kroos during his time as&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;manager remains his biggest transfer regret, ranking the German midfielder above Gareth Bale and Cesc Fabregas. United ended up missing out on all three, with World Cup winner Kroos opting to leave&nbsp;Bayern Munich&nbsp;for&nbsp;Real Madrid&nbsp;in 2014. The German's presence could have helped the Red Devils to avoid the slump they ultimately hit, with Moyes lasting a matter of months before being sacked. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-utd-bale-fabregas-kroos-biggest-transfer-regret-moyes/t32fwnveevsz1adywv4mobn6v">Read the full story right here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

Eight of the top 10 biggest transfer fees of all time all occurred in or after 2017, with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Antoine Griezmann, Philippe Coutinho and Kylian Mbappe moving for over €100m each. Inevitably, such lucrative deals prompt comparisons with previous record fees and the debate rages as to just how much particular past players would be worth in today's transfer market. If Romelu Lukaku is worth £80 million ($97m), how much would Diego Maradona or Pele be worth? How much would&nbsp;Real Madrid&nbsp;have to pay for Zinedine Zidane nowadays?

Nobody at&nbsp;Aston Villa&nbsp;would “hold it against him” if John McGinn secured a switch to&nbsp;Manchester United, says Alan Hutton, but the midfielder has been urged against a move to Newcastle. The midfielder's efforts are attracting admiring glances from afar, with it suggested that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/ferguson-will-talk-man-utd-into-mcginn-move-former-aston/6o1lm9lklymx11usmu0pfqs12">Sir Alex Ferguson would be in favour of a fellow Scot arriving at Old Trafford.</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/mcginn-backed-to-thrive-at-man-utd-if-shock-50m-move-is-made/f1j1wis1996716gpabz6v54to">Talk of £50 million ($62m) moves has surfaced there,</a> while Newcastle are said to be sniffing around at a price slightly below that figure. Hutton&nbsp;feels his&nbsp;compatriot would be a good fit for United if an approach were to be made, but sees&nbsp;a switch to St James’ Park as a sideways step for a man looking to maintain an upward trajectory. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-utd-mcginn-newcastle-aston-villa-hutton-transfer/9qyqwc4abdmv1ebgsoxn6ypg2">Read the full story right here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

Mamadou Sakho claims to have snubbed offers from&nbsp;Barcelona,&nbsp;Bayern Munich&nbsp;and&nbsp;Arsenal&nbsp;in order to make a £17 million ($21m) “dream” move to&nbsp;Liverpool&nbsp;in 2013. Despite being a home-grown star and club captain material at&nbsp;Paris Saint-Germain, the highly-rated defender saw the exit door swing open at Parc des Princes. Plenty were prepared to lure him through it, with leading sides across Europe joining the scramble for a much sought-after signature. Liverpool ultimately prevailed in that battle, with Sakho taking the decision to head for Anfield over Camp Nou, the Allianz Arena or Emirates Stadium. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/sakho-barcelona-bayern-arsenal-liverpool/1rfj5l08cnlvf1iw717y1jcish">Read the full story right here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

Dayot Upamecano should think twice about swapping&nbsp;RB Leipzig&nbsp;for&nbsp;Bayern Munich&nbsp;or another European heavyweight at the end of the season, according to Lothar Matthaus. Bundesliga&nbsp;giants Bayern are rumoured to have joined&nbsp;Real Madrid&nbsp;and a number of other big-name clubs in the race to sign the 21-year-old. A potential move to the Premier League has also been mooted for Upamecano, with&nbsp;Manchester City,&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;and&nbsp;Arsenal all reportedly keeping a close eye on the centre-back. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/bayern-linked-upamecano-urged-to-remain-at-rb-leipzig-by/a15ocbas0uby14ne5n5fa2sr3">Read the full story right here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

The time has come for&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;to offload Ousmane Dembele, says Rivaldo, with the Frenchman having no part to play even before links to Neymar and Lautaro Martinez are taken into account.

Manchester United&nbsp;will&nbsp;not be the only side keen&nbsp;on Harry Kane, says Jamie Redknapp, with the&nbsp;Tottenham&nbsp;striker urged to give Jose Mourinho time to make his mark in north London before considering a move elsewhere. Redknapp told the Daily Mail: "If he doesn't feel Tottenham can help him achieve that, then, of course, he will consider his options. Loyalty and ambition are the two things this 26-year-old has to weigh up. More clubs than Manchester United would be interested in him." <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-utd-wont-be-the-only-side-keen-on-kane-spurs-striker/rboniwseiclv1p4oseu91symd" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Barcelona&nbsp;head coach Quique Setien has opened the door for Philippe Coutinho to return to Camp Nou, insisting the Brazilian is still a "great player". Coutinho completed a £142 million ($177m) move to Barca from&nbsp;Liverpool&nbsp;in January 2018 after spending the previous five years of his career in the Premier League. The 27-year-old established himself as one of the most exciting and talented&nbsp;midfielders in European football during his time at Anfield&nbsp;but has been unable to reach the same heights in Catalonia.
