Manchester City are ready to replace Sergio Aguero with Erling Haaland, according to <a href="https://www.donbalon.com/futbol/premier-league/pep-guardiola-quiere-este-delantero-si-aguero-se-va-en-2021" target="_blank">Don Balon</a>. Pep Guardiola's side, however, will face a challenge from Juventus for the Norway international, who reportedly has a release clause set at €70 million that will be activated in 2022. City, though, are willing to pay €100m to get the deal done next summer.

Paris Saint-Germain are still interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo, according to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.it/2020/10/11/juventus-cristiano-ronaldo-psg-pirlo-calciomercato-contratto/" target="_blank">Calciomercato</a>. The Portugal star, however, intends to see out his contract with the Serie A champions, with the arrival of Andrea Pirlo calming any storm that was brewing. Juve do not want to sell their star man either.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea are among the clubs lining themselves up to sign David Alaba next summer, <a href="https://www.sport1.de/transfermarkt/2019/12/transfermarkt-geruechte-und-fakten-im-sport1-ticker" target="_blank">Sport1</a> reports. The Bayern Munich defensive player is out of contract in June and has thus far refused to sign a new deal. He could, therefore, hold talks with prospective suitors as early as January regarding a free transfer.

Manchester City and Manchester United are considering moves for former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, according to the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/pochettino-next-job-united-city-22824698" target="_blank">Mirror</a>.&nbsp; Pep Guardiola is yet to sign a contract extension at the Etihad, leading City to identify Pochettino as a possible replacement next season. The Red Devils meanwhile are contemplating the future of current coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and view Pochettino as an ideal candidate.&nbsp;

Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland could be in line for a shock move to Liverpool,&nbsp;with the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jack-butland-line-liverpool-move-22825648" target="_blank">Mirror</a> reporting both clubs are negotiating a possible deal.&nbsp; Jurgen Klopp is eager to sign another shot-stopper after Alisson picked up&nbsp;a serious injury and Adrian failed to impress in a heavy defeat against Aston Villa.&nbsp; Butland has struggled for minutes at Stoke in recent times and is now in&nbsp;the&nbsp;final year of his contract.&nbsp;

Orlando City are set to sign&nbsp;Ecuadorian forward Alexander Alvarado, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/FABIANGALLARDOM/status/1315295057042436102" target="_blank">Fabian Gallardo.</a> The 21-year-old is expected to travel to Florida on Monday to sign a four-year deal.

Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr have made a £5 million ($6.5m) bid for&nbsp;Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil, reports <a href="https://twitter.com/CLMerlo/status/1315286439672901632" target="_blank">TYC Sports.</a> The German is into the final year of his contract at Emirates Stadium and&nbsp;appears to have no future at the club having fallen out of favour under Mikel Arteta. Ozil's £350,000-a-week wages has proven to be a stumbling block to any teams looking to sign the 31-year-old, though&nbsp;Al-Nassr are ready to offer him a two-year deal.

Daniel Boga, the brother and agent of&nbsp;Sassuolo&nbsp;star Jeremie, has revealed that&nbsp;Napoli&nbsp;made numerous attempts to sign the Ivorian, however, the Emilia-Romagna didn't receive an offer close to their evaluation of the midfielder. The 23-year-old winger was one of the most-talked-about subjects during the summer transfer window in&nbsp;Serie A&nbsp;with&nbsp;Juventus,&nbsp;Roma&nbsp;and&nbsp;Inter&nbsp;Milan all linked with him. Napoli were, however, the ones to make on official approach to Sassuolo for Boga but they failed to meet the club’s valuation of €30 million for the player. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/napoli-tried-hard-to-sign-boga-but-sassuolo-didnt-want-to/fwyv7dvpop5x1nhg1p5ymqhyi" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Liverpool are not looking to bring in a new goalkeeper as cover for the injured Alisson, according to the <a href="https://twitter.com/MirrorAnderson/status/1315243728408281090?s=20" target="_blank">Mirror.</a> An earlier report claimed the Reds were targeting Stoke's Jack Butland after current back-up Adrian made a number of mistakes during their 7-2 thrashing at Aston Villa last week. However, manager Jurgen Klopp has no plans to sign anyone and will instead keep faith with the Spaniard for the next few weeks while Alisson recovers from a shoulder injury suffered in training.

West Ham are close to agreeing a deal to sign Said&nbsp;Benrahma after holding fresh talks with Brentford on Sunday, according to the <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/said-benrahma-west-ham-transfer-latest-positive-talks-brentford-fc-a4568191.html" target="_blank">Standard.</a> The Hammers are keen to bolster their midfield after letting Felipe Anderson join Porto on loan and have made&nbsp;Benrahma a prime target ahead of next week's EFL transfer deadline. They have yet to reach a final agreement with Brentford, but a £25 million ($33m) deal is believed to be edging closer.&nbsp;

Barcelona and Juventus could arrange a swap deal that will see Ousmane Dembele join the Italian side and&nbsp;Federico Bernardeschi go the other way. The two sides traded midfielders in the summer transfer window as Miralem Pjanic left Juve to join the Camp Nou outfit, while Arthur left Barca for the Italian giants. The two teams have a positive relationship and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.calciomercato.it/2020/10/11/calciomercato-juventus-dembele-bernardeschi-barcellona-pirlo/" target="_blank">Calciomercato.it</a>&nbsp;reports that another big swap could be in the works.&nbsp; Barca want to offload Dembele in the near future and Juve are interested in taking him and are willing to use 26-year-old Bernardeschi as a bargaining chip.

Ronald Koeman has not given up hope of bringing Memphis Depay to&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;and has confirmed he also wanted to sign Georginio Wijnaldum in the summer transfer window. Barca tried to lure&nbsp;Lyon&nbsp;star Depay to Camp Nou, but were unable to get a deal over the line&nbsp;before the transfer period came to an end on Monday. The attacker&nbsp;is confident more offers to come in the next transfer window, though he has not ruled out staying at Lyon for the remainder of the campaign. Koeman, meanwhile, has suggested he is still eager to bring the ex-PSV&nbsp;and&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;winger to the Blaugrana at the next opportunity. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/koeman-still-wants-second-dutchman-depay-at-barcelona/1dc0ps3hibovy1bebtn1mx250e" target="_blank">Read more on Goal!</a>

AC Milan are expected to make a new attempt to sign Nikola&nbsp;Milenkovic from Fiorentina in January. The Rossoneri tried to sign him before the transfer window closed, but were not willing to meet the €40 million (£36m/$47m) asking price. <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milenkovic-non-rinnova-il-milan-a-gennaio-puo-tornare-alla-caric-40709" target="_blank">Calciomercato</a>&nbsp;reports the San Siro side's hopes of getting their man have been boosted after the defender decided he will not discuss a contract renewal with Fiorentina.

Juventus are holding out for upwards of €50 million (£45m/$59m) for centre-back&nbsp;Merih Demiral,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/demiral-e-il-terzo-club-pronto-alle-follie-dopo-il-milan-la-juve-58720" target="_blank">Calciomercato</a>&nbsp;reports. Atletico Madrid and Tottenham both had offers for him turned down before the end of the transfer window and Juve expect more bids to come in January. But the Bianconeri will not let him go for less than €50m as they believe his sale will allow them to make big investments in the first-team.

&nbsp; Ronald Koeman says Luis Suarez could have stayed at&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;to prove him wrong instead of moving to&nbsp;Atletico Madrid. Suarez had spent a successful six-year spell&nbsp;at Camp Nou, winning the&nbsp;Champions League&nbsp;along with four&nbsp;La Liga&nbsp;titles among other trophies, and managed to net 21 times in 36 appearances in all competitions in his final season at the club. Koeman says he was happy with the former&nbsp;Ajax&nbsp;and&nbsp;Liverpool&nbsp;star and maintains he did not have to leave if he did not want to. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/koeman-suarez-could-have-stayed-at-barcelona-to-prove-me/1vfp45uo85afx1u2kjge3vn2ga" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>
