England&nbsp;legend John Barnes is disappointed at Harry Kane for hinting that he could seek a move away from&nbsp;Tottenham, with the prolific striker being linked with a big-money transfer to&nbsp;Manchester United. A record-breaking £200 million ($250m) switch has been mooted for the Spurs star,&nbsp;with the 26-year-old admitting that the time may have come for him to consider offers from afar. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/does-kane-think-hes-better-than-tottenham-england-captains/16hdgj5t2p1c51m9bt3towly9c" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Manchester United&nbsp;will not be able to spend “upwards of £300 million ($375m)” on Jadon Sancho, Harry Kane and Jack Grealish, says Darren Bent, with&nbsp;Tottenham&nbsp;being tipped to steal in for the latter.

However, with reported moves for replacements stalling, the French champions are ready to offer the Brazilian a new one-year deal after all.

Arsenal&nbsp;had a deal agreed with Leicester for Jamie Vardy in the summer of 2016, claims the club’s former transfer fixer Dick Law, only for the&nbsp;England&nbsp;international to make a last-minute U-turn. Juan Mata, who has thrived in England with&nbsp;Chelsea&nbsp;and&nbsp;Manchester United, is another that the Gunners allowed to slip their net. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/arsenal-deal-jamie-vardy-2016-juan-mata/78dcsubgf1oj19xg34aoxa564" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Matthijs de Ligt has been advised to ignore talk of interest from&nbsp;Manchester United, with former Red Devils star Jaap Stam telling his&nbsp;fellow Dutchman it is “essential” he remains at&nbsp;Juventus. De Ligt has&nbsp;endured a testing debut campaign in Italy, leading&nbsp;to suggestions another big-money move could be on the cards, with United retaining their interest in the former Ajax captain. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/de-ligt-juventus-exit-stam-interest-man-utd/imw3eba76mar147yhg3yk4psq" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Milan are keen to turn&nbsp;Ante Rebic's loan into a permanent deal as soon as possible, according to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-il-prezzo-di-rebic-puo-lievitare-occorre-anticipare-l-acqu-34111" target="_blank">Calciomercato.</a> The Croatia international, who joined from&nbsp;Eintracht Frankfurt on a two-year loan last summer, recovered from a slow start to score seven goals in nine appearances before Serie A was shutdown because of coronavirus. That goalscoring run has prompted Milan officials to begin&nbsp;work on a permanent deal, with the fear his continued good form may prompt Frankfurt to significantly increase his asking price.

Manchester United&nbsp;may be monitoring Jude Bellingham, but Birmingham coach James Beattie has warned that “potential is a dangerous word” and the 16-year-old will dictate his own future. The Blues have no intention of parting with the&nbsp;hot prospect, who&nbsp;needs regular game time to maintain his impressive development, and will leave any calls on future moves up to their prized academy graduate. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-utd-bellingham-beattie-transfer-birmingham/98ejtq7gy4u81ncos42eylvgx" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Manchester City&nbsp;midfielder Ilkay Gundogan believes that&nbsp;Wolves&nbsp;striker&nbsp;Raul Jimenez has what it takes to play for the defending Premier League champions. The&nbsp;Mexico&nbsp;international has been tipped to move on to a&nbsp;Champions League&nbsp;side, with&nbsp;Chelsea among the suggested destinations for Jimenez. Gundogan, though, thinks that Man City could also be a good fit for Jimenez, as Pep Guardiola's side could&nbsp;be in the market for another striker with Sergio Aguero turning 32 this summer. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/i-can-imagine-jimenez-playing-with-man-city-gundogan/absoevyanhw1k0wew13uikc6" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

James Maddison has suggested he will continue to ignore talk of an imminent move to&nbsp;Manchester United, with the midfielder seeing himself as “part of the furniture” at Leicester.

RB Leipzig&nbsp;CEO Oliver Mintzlaff says he has received no contact from&nbsp;Liverpool&nbsp;or&nbsp;Bayern Munich&nbsp;regarding a move for Timo Werner. The 24-year-old has attracted plenty of transfer speculation during a fine 2019-20 campaign, during which he's scored 27 goals in 36 games in all competitions. Werner is under contract at Red Bull Arena until the end of the 2022-23 season. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/liverpool-bayern-werner-leipzig/1kmynlfayf4m11c9mt74pp5v60" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal</a>

Porto president&nbsp;Pinto Da Costa has said Manchester United blocked Jose Mourinho from making an emergency short-term return to the club&nbsp;in 2016.

Barcelona are still keen to sell Philippe Coutinho as they seek to raise funds, sources have told Goal. The Brazilian is currently on loan at Bayern Munich, but the&nbsp;Bavarians will not be exercising the €80 million (£70m/$87m)&nbsp;purchase option they have on Coutinho. Barca are hoping that a buyer from the Premier League emerges, as English teams are the most likely to afford&nbsp;Coutinho's transfer fee and wages. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/barcelona-still-aiming-to-offload-coutinho-as-they-hope-for/axcjju8l5blv10e36pc2g5doo" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal</a>
