Ivan Rakitic wants to remain at Barcelona but believes he deserves a pay rise if he is to do so, <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20180822/451407002215/rakitic-oferta-psg-continuidad-arturo-canales.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a> reports.

Anthony Martial wants to prove himself at Manchester United under Jose Mourinho, completing a U-turn over speculation he would depart Old Trafford, reports <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/7069805/man-united-anthony-martial-transfer-update/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>. The France international missed the World Cup in Russia this year following a lack of appearances under the Portuguese for the Red Devils and has been heavily linked with an exit during the current European transfer window. Instead though, the 22-year-old will now seek to re-establish himself as a regular starting name at the Theatre of Dreams, despite stiff competition from Alexis Sanchez and England pair Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard.

Marseille attacker Clinton N'Jie will not be joining Sporting CP after the Ligue 1 club announced a deal has fallen through. An agreement of €1 million and Sporting covering N'Jie's wages had been finalised, with reports suggesting the Cameroon international failed a medical. However, Marseille have pushed back against that, while confirming the move is off, saying:&nbsp;"Olympique de Marseille indicates that at the end of the final discussions held this morning with the Sporting Club of Portugal, the two clubs did not reach a full and complete agreement on the contractual terms and the financial elements relating to the player's loan, Clinton N' Jie, so the player will not engage with the Portuguese club and OM are counting on him for this weekend's match against Rennes."

The 27-year-old, who was a member of his country’s World Cup-winning team in Russia this year, had attracted the interest of both Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.

The Ligue 1 champions are chasing the Croatia midfielder but have been put off by Barca's €125 million (£112m/$145m) valuation of him. In a bid to drive the price down, they are offering the Germany international, who is not a central part of Thomas Tuchel's plans.

Marcos Alonso was the top name on Paris Saint-Germain list in their quest for a left-back, but Chelsea fended off their approach, <a href="http://www.marca.com/futbol/liga-francesa/2018/08/22/5b7d3021e2704e91748b4599.html" target="_blank">Marca</a> reports. Under contract until 2021, the Spaniard has been linked with a move back to his homeland as well as the Ligue 1 champions, but with three years left to run on his deal, the Blues hold all the aces.

Aberdeen have rejected a £3.5 million offer from Celtic for centre-back Scott McKenna, the <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45271654" target="_blank">BBC</a> reports. Scotland international McKenna, 21, would appear to be a direct replacement for Dedryck Boyata, who is trying to force a move away from the Hoops.

Valencia are prepared to sell the Spain international, having already signed Kevin Gameiro and Michy Batshuayi as cover, but are still holding out for his release clause of €120 million. Madrid, meanwhile, are not interested in spending so much on one player but could move if the price drops as deadline day approaches.

Chile international goalkeeper Bravo is expected to miss much of the season with an Achilles tendon injury, leaving Ederson as his club's chief shot-stopper. Pep Guardiola wants to increase the depth in that area and could seek to sign Navas as soon as possible.

The Premier League champions have been dealt a significant blow after Claudio Bravo snapped his Achilles tendon, with a lay-off of around six months likely for the Chilean. This leaves City without an experienced second-choice shot-stopper – but given that they will be unable to sign a replacement until January at the earliest, Cillessen is not of interest to them right now.
