Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Bale refuses to be part of Madrid's 'operation Neymar'

Manchester United&nbsp;won't listen to any offers for Paul Pogba before the current transfer window closes, according to the <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/08/13/paul-pogba-will-not-leaving-manchester-united-summer/" target="_blank">Telegraph</a>. The European transfer window doesn't close until early September, allowing the likes of Juventus and Real Madrid to potentially bring the French star in. But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer&nbsp;believes Pogba is vital to his plans this season and with the English window closed, United would no longer be able to bring in a replacement should they sell.&nbsp;

Gareth Bale has refused to form part of a potential Real Madrid bid for Neymar and has even threatened to take legal action against the club, claims&nbsp;Sport.&nbsp; The Welshman is not part of Zinedine Zidane's first-team plans for 2019-20, but so far efforts to sell him have been fruitless, not least because of his own reluctance to take a cut in salary. And amid rumours he could be sent to PSG&nbsp;as a makeweight to bring in the Brazilian, Bale is prepared to sue Madrid for alleged mistreatment.

Bayern Munich are willing to enter talks with Barcelona for Philippe Coutinho, but they are only interested in taking him on loan, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20190813/464019897031/bayern-coutinho-barca-fc-barcelona-james-formula-james.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>. Barca have offered the Brazilian to the Bundesliga champions as they want to offload him before the transfer window closes. Bayern want Coutinho on a two-year loan with an option to buy - a similar deal to the one they made with Real Madrid for James Rodriguez - but Barcelona are not happy with the offer. While Bayern still have time to improve on their initial bid, Paris Saint-Germain remain in contention to get Coutinho as part of a possible dal for Neymar.

Real Madrid will abandon their pursuit of Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba if they can land Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar, according to <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/9708882/man-utd-pogba-transfer-real-madrid-neymar-700k-wages/">The Sun</a>. Los Blancos' La Liga rivals Barcelona are favourites to re-sign the Brazilian, but Zinedine Zidane is willing to offer a player to sweeten the deal and bring the PSG forward to the Santiago Bernabeu. The Frenchman is willing to offer the services of Isco, Marcelo or Raphael Varane in order to land Neymar, as well as a sizeable chunk of cash and a massive wage packet.

Barcelona&nbsp;and&nbsp;Paris Saint-Germain&nbsp;have begun talks over a move for Neymar, but Goal can confirm that a deal between the two sides is still far away. PSG are open to taking&nbsp;Philippe Coutinho as part of any deal, but have also demanded that Nelson Semedo&nbsp;and a cash lump sum be included. Barca, however, do not want to fork out a large sum of money and are not looking to part with Semedo, instead offering&nbsp;Ivan Rakitic.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/barca-psg-begin-neymar-player-swap-talks-with-both-sides/1kkehrh3jqqvq11792msm0brl6" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal&nbsp;</a>

Bayer Leverkusen will not be making any big purchases before the transfer window shuts, says the club's sporting director Simon Rolfes. With Kai Havertz expected to leave next summer, Leverkusen have been linked with a move for&nbsp;Dinamo Zagreb star Dani Olmo as his eventual&nbsp;replacement. But it appears that the Spain U21 international, who is rated at €30 million (£28m/$34m), will be too expensive for the club.&nbsp; "We will certainly not be able to do any transfer of this magnitude this summer," Rolfes told <a href="https://www.kicker.de/755304/artikel/rolfes-schliesst-olmo-deal-aus_keinen-transfer-mehr-in-dieser-groessenordnung" target="_blank">Kicker</a>.&nbsp;

Manchester City have avoided a transfer ban related to the illegal&nbsp;transfer and registration of players under the age of 18. City, however, were found guilty of violations but were instead FIFA fined the club CHF 370,000 (£315,000/$380,000). The move came as something of a surprise after Barcelona,&nbsp;Real Madrid,&nbsp;Atletico Madrid&nbsp;and&nbsp;Chelsea&nbsp;were banned from signing new players as punishment for similar offences. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/man-city-avoid-transfer-ban-for-breaching-fifa-regulations/1dw3rnm919ipn1ut7sujj4m9d4" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal</a>

Issa Diop is among those to have generated talk of interest from&nbsp;Manchester United, but the highly-rated defender insists he does not consider West Ham to be a transfer “springboard”.
