Transfers News and rumours LIVE: Man Utd consider summer bid for £90m Sancho

Bayern Munich&nbsp;CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says the club will return for Callum Hudson-Odoi this summer as they remain "convinced" of his quality. The&nbsp;Chelsea&nbsp;youngster was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/hudson-odoi-the-only-player-bayern-wanted-in-january/15c5frpybegl41exy2bkyynpz6" target="_blank">Bayern's&nbsp;main target throughout the winter window</a> but the Blues held firm despite a transfer request, turning down a £35 million ($46m) deal. Maurizio Sarri says&nbsp;it is up to Hudson-Odoi to "respect the club"&nbsp;for the rest of the season, although the teenager is still keen on a move and&nbsp;Rummenigge has confirmed that feeling is mutual. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/we-are-convinced-of-that-player-rummenigge-says-bayern-will/1v1xg21btpxft1sx54hs2q81f3" target="_blank">Read the full story here on Goal!</a>

As the Red Devils chiefs continue their search for a full-time option to take over at the helm next season, <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/8319218/manchester-utd-solskjaer-psg/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>&nbsp;claims they have not ruled Solskjaer out.

Manchester United are tracking Jadon Sancho with the view to making a bid this summer, according to <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2019/01/31/manchester-united-consider-approach-dortmund-star-jadon-sancho-8418368/" target="_blank">Metro</a>. The 18-year-old has enjoyed a fine spell at&nbsp;Borussia Dortmund since leaving Manchester City in 2017. Dortmund value Sancho at £90 million (€103m/$117m) but United's desire to reassert their dominance could lead to them matching that fee.

D.C. thought they would receive $10m (£7.63m) for Acosta and were prepared to sell, but PSG offered $7m (£5.34m) and were later willing to raise it to $8m (£6.1m), and offered $2m (£1.53m) more in incentives. When D.C. refused, PSG walked away, leaving Acosta upset the deal fell apart.

Neil Warnock says Cardiff were unsuccessful in their attempts to sign a striker at the end of the January window because their targets did not want to replace Emiliano Sala. Sala became Cardiff's record signing when he moved&nbsp;from&nbsp;Nantes, but&nbsp;his plane disappeared over the English Channel&nbsp;while making his way from Nantes to Cardiff.&nbsp;&nbsp; Warnock confirmed Cardiff tried to bring in another striker&nbsp;to add to a squad in the Premier League's relegation zone, but Sala's absence weighed heavily on their targets' minds.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/warnock-cardiff-targets-did-not-want-to-replace-sala/1ae0cd78t4izg1v6zy2nhz78xt" target="_blank">Read the full story here</a>

Sven Mislintat's poor relationship with PSG boss Thomas Tuchel may have affected Arsenal's&nbsp;failure to sign Christopher Nkunku, according to the BBC.

Milan are fourth in Serie A, a point ahead of Roma, but&nbsp;the midfielder is trying not to&nbsp;become distracted. "I heard what Leonardo said, but I’m not in a position to talk about it.

Cardiff boss Neil Warnock says a number of forwards did not want to join the club in the wake of Emiliano Sala's disappearance. The Argentine striker remains unfound after his plane went missing last week over the Channel Islands as he prepared to complete his move to South Wales. Warnock&nbsp;says the Bluebirds tried to acquire cover, but the epiode meant many turned down their offer. "One or two of the strikers we were talking about didn't really want to come in the circumstances," the 70-year-old said. "They didn't want to come in after what's happened.
