Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Juventus to offer Dybala for Man Utd's Pogba

Bayern Munich want to take advantage of the financial and hierarchical uncertainty at Barcelona to sign Frenkie De Jong, according to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20201209/49992361663/barca.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>. Barca won a multi-club battle for the midfielder in 2019, however Bayern are said to be planning on using their status as the dominant club in Europe at present to move for the star. De Jong only signed a contract extension until 2026 in October, however with the club having to cut their wage bill by more than £100 million and facing presidential elections in January, they may have to cash in on one of their main men.

Mesut Ozil&nbsp;finds himself shunted to the periphery&nbsp;at Arsenal and, having been cut from the official squad,&nbsp;it looks certain that he will be moving on to a new club once his contract expires. As a World Cup winner who is widely&nbsp;lauded as one of the finest playmakers of his generation,&nbsp;Ozil's fall from grace at the Emirates Stadium is a source of confusion for many,&nbsp;particularly as the Gunners struggle for creativity. However, for others it is an example of poor management - both in terms of&nbsp;handing the player such a lucrative deal in the first place&nbsp;and then proceeding to alienate&nbsp;him so publicly. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/when-does-mesut-ozils-contract-expire-which-clubs-could/1njfss9g2lc3t1ulwo5rmyn2cc" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>
