Atletico have been impressed with&nbsp;the 20-year-old's performances this season and although he is relatively inexperienced,&nbsp;the club believe his relatively low release clause of €12 million (£10m/$13m) makes him a worthwhile investment. Valencia&nbsp;and&nbsp;Getafe were linked with&nbsp;Salisu in January but the defender decided to stay at&nbsp;Valladolid until at least the end of the season.

Inter&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;Beppe Marotta has looked to shut down ongoing speculation linking&nbsp;Lautaro Martinez with a move to&nbsp;Barcelona.&nbsp; The Catalans are currently short on attackers in the wake of&nbsp;injuries to Ousmane Dembele&nbsp;and Luis Suarez with Quique Setien's side&nbsp;set to be allowed to sign an injury-replacement.&nbsp; While Martinez is unlikely to be allowed to make the move now, the&nbsp;Inter star continues to be linked with a transfer in the near future&nbsp;as he keeps&nbsp;turning heads in&nbsp;Italy.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/barca-linked-lautaro-martinez-only-interested-in-playing-for/o8kjmfryzylx11ud8rs3m2hwo" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Leicester City are lining up a bid for Arsenal's Kieran Tierney&nbsp;should Ben Chilwell leave the club in the summer. Chilwell is fast becoming England's first-choice left-back and has attracted interest from a number of clubs. Foxes boss&nbsp;Brendan Rodgers thinks&nbsp;Tierney would be the ideal replacement, having already worked with him at Celtic. <a href="https://www.90min.com/posts/6557670-leicester-city-plot-kieran-tierney-move-in-preparation-for-ben-chilwell-exit" target="_blank">90 min </a>believe that Leicester would offer Arsenal a fee in the region of the £25m it took to bring the Scotsman to the Premier League.

With&nbsp;Gianluigi Donnarumma stalling over a contract renewal, AC Milan are looking at potential alternatives should the 20-year-old leave the club when his current deal expires in 2021. Torino's Salvatore Sirigu is a realistic option according to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-idea-sirigu-con-l-addio-di-donnarumma-77559" target="_blank">Tuttosport</a>, and Milan have already looked into the possibility of signing the 33-year-old. This will also lead to speculation as to where Donnarumma sees his future, and there is likely to be no shortage of offers.

Former Tottenham&nbsp;chairman Alan Sugar believes the north London side should sign Jack Grealish and Pepe Reina, but referred to the former Liverpool stopper and World Cup winner merely as the 'Villa goalie". "Well deserved win for Spurs.

Liverpool have no interest in selling Roberto Firmino this summer, reports The Athletic via the <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/roberto-firmino-bayern-munich-transfer-21508467">Star.</a> The Reds have been linked with moves for the likes of&nbsp;Jadon Sancho and Timo Werner, sparking speculation Firmino could be offloaded to make space for them in the squad. However, Liverpool have no plans to sell the Brazilian, with any new faces brought in to compliment rather than replace the forward.

Everton made a €20 million (£17m/$22m) offer to sign Allan from Napoli, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://corrieredelmezzogiorno.corriere.it/" target="_blank">Corriere del Mezzogiorno</a>&nbsp;reports. The 28-year-old midfielder is already wanted by Paris Saint-Germain and Inter, while Napoli hope to renew his contract soon. But the Brazil international has many options, with PSG and Inter interested in him. Everton, however, will have to improve their offer if they are serious about signing him, as Napoli are demanding twice as much as the Toffees'&nbsp;initial bid.

Real Madrid legend Guti looks set to lose his job as Almeria coach,&nbsp;<a href="https://as.com/futbol/2020/02/16/segunda/1581849330_445228.html?m1=cG9ydGFkYV9wb3J0YWRh&amp;m2=QUNUVUFMSURBRA%3D%3D&amp;m3=NA%3D%3D&amp;m4=bm9ybWFs&amp;m5=MjA%3D" target="_blank">AS</a>&nbsp;reports.

Juventus are looking around South America for the next big football stars and they appear to have found their latest target. Kaio Jorge, who just turned 18 last month and has made only four appearances for Santos, is the latest to catch the Serie A giants' attention. <a href="https://www.calciomercato.it/news/364408/calciomercato_anche_la_juventus_sul_nuovo_firmino_clausola_super" target="_blank">Reports in Italy</a> say the Turin side have started watching him, but they are not the only team showing an interest. That €50 million release clause Santos have included in his contract could discourage some of those trying to lure him away.

Inter scouts were present to watch Marash Kumbulla in action for Hellas Verona on Sunday,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/l-inter-osserva-kumbulla-007-nerazzurri-alla-dacia-arena-ausilio-96261" target="_blank">Calciomercato</a>&nbsp;reports. The 20-year-old centre-back has played a key role for Hellas this season and has caught the attention of several top teams, including Napoli. But Inter are watching him, too, and could be plotting a summer move for him.

Alexander Isak's exploits at Real Sociedad have seen him linked with several top teams in Europe once again. Before he joined Borussia Dortmund, he was being considered by Real Madrid and Barcelona, but wound up being sold to the Basque outfit last summer. Now that the 20-year-old striker has netted 14 times for the Spanish outfit this term, he is being linked with a return to Dortmund or a move to a bigger club. But any interested parties will have to match Sociedad's €70 million (£58m/$76m) asking price,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/real-sociedad/20200216/473577848534/isak-blindado-hasta-2021.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>&nbsp;reports, and that includes Dortmund - whose €30m (£25m/$32m) buy-back option does not kick in until next summer.

Inter will sign Tahith Chong from Manchester United and then send him on loan to another Serie A side,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/calcio-mercato/2020/02/15-66767872/inter_chong_in_arrivo_andra_in_prestito/" target="_blank">Corriere dello Sport</a>&nbsp;reports. Although the Nerazzurri are eager to land the Dutch winger when his contract expires at the end of the season, but he will not go straight into the first-team. Apparently he does not fit the profile Antonio Conte is looking for at present and hope he can gain relevant experience elsewhere in the Italian top-flight.

Pep Guardiola will reportedly remain at Manchester City even if their two-year ban from the Champions League is upheld, according to <a href="https://www.sport.es/en/news/premier-league/pep-guardiola-will-stay-manchester-city-despite-champions-league-ban-7850447">Sport.</a> City are facing the prospect of serious sanctions, including backdated points deductions and potentially being stripped of their Premier League title in 2014 as well as a hefty fine. It has been widely expected that Guardiola - along with several key players - would leave the club should such a scenario come to pass, but Sport suggest that the former Barcelona coach is keen to at least&nbsp;see out his contract that runs until 2021.

Bayern Munich&nbsp;defender David Alaba has&nbsp;left the door open for a potential move to the Premier League in the future.

The&nbsp;Austria&nbsp;international's&nbsp;contract expires at the end of the 2020-21 season&nbsp;and, should he choose not to renew his terms, Bayern may be forced to part ways with him in the summer. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/alaba-not-ruling-out-premier-league-move/r18jxl4eqeaf1u71sk6l0hm3i">Read the full story right here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

It is believed Ed Woodward may be keeping his options open, with former Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino available and keen on a return to England.

Raul Jimenez has sparked talk of interest from&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;and&nbsp;La Liga, but&nbsp;Wolves&nbsp;are determined to retain the services of a player that means they now have “five times more Mexican fans” than UK ones. The striker has 20 goals and nine assists in 39 appearances across all competitions this season as he builds on a fine debut campaign, and his strong form has attracted admiring glances from other clubs. Wolves, though, have no intention of parting with the 28-year-old frontman as he has become integral to their future plans on and off the field. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/wolves-determined-to-keep-man-utd-linked-raul-jimenez-now/1ib4pkk6cdj2q1tp3nv5oblk1y">Read the full story right here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>
