Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Klopp on Barcelona shortlist

PSG are now favourites to sign Erling Haaland and are preparing to meet his immense wage demands, report Gazzetta dello Sport. Haaland has been linked with clubs all across Europe, with his agent Mino Raiola touting his services but demanding a&nbsp;€50 million-a-year salary for his client. He is available for €75 million next summer when his release clause activates at Borussia Dortmund, and PSG could swoop should Kylian Mbappe leave when his own deal ends.

Barcelona have shortlisted Jurgen Klopp as a potential replacement for Ronald Koeman as manager, according to <a href="https://www.elnacional.cat/es/deportes.html" target="_blank">El Nacional.</a> Barca bosses are huge admirers of the Liverpool coach and could even appoint a stop gap until the end of the season in order for them to pursue the 54-year-old. However it remains to be seen whether Klopp would leave Anfield for a club currently mired in financial trouble and struggling in the Champions League.

Van de Beek is desperate to move on in search of playing time with one eye already on next winter's World Cup.

Roberto Martinez says he has still not been contacted by Barcelona over the manager's job - but has not ruled out taking the job if it is offered. The Belgium national coach is a front runner to succeed the under-fire Ronald Koeman, and is well admired by the hierarchy at Camp Nou. “There is absolutely nothing - and there has been no contact with Barcelona. I want to fulfil my contract, but many things may arise along the way,” he told HLN.

Bayern Munich do not need to sign Erling Haaland so long as Robert Lewandowski maintains his form and fitness, according to Mario Gomez. Former Bayern and Germany striker Gomez told <a href="https://www.abendzeitung-muenchen.de/sport/fussball/mario-gomez-im-az-interview-wenn-haaland-gesund-bleibt-wird-er-der-beste-art-759576" target="_blank">Abendzeitung</a>:&nbsp;“What you hear and read about salary,&nbsp;I can’t imagine Bavaria going along with that. If you extend with Kimmich and Goretzka, the pillars of the future, you can hardly bring in an external player who then earns a lot more. "Although Joshua might even accept that, given Haaland’s worth. But if Lewandowski stays so fit, Bayern doesn’t need Haaland anyway."

Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman will be in charge to face Atletico Madrid this weekend however the board will seriously consider his position during the international break, report <a href="https://www.sport.es/en/news/barca/ronald-koeman-will-not-be-sacked-before-atletico-madrid-game-12130732" target="_blank">Sport</a>. It means defeat to the Liga champions would surely seal Koeman's fate, with Barca having endured a poor start to the season including losing both of their opening Champions League fixtures. His status as a club legend from his playing days has given him some leeway, however this could run out after the weekend's action.

Sassuolo&nbsp;CEO Giovanni Carnevali has claimed Inter&nbsp;wanted to sign both Giacomo Raspadori and Gianluca Scamacca in the summer, but the club do not need to sell their stars. Carnevali told Corriere dello Sport:&nbsp;“Marotta asked me for both, but we gamble on young players and for this reason, we sold [Francesco] Caputo. Now Giacomo and Gianluca will have more chances to show their qualities. “Our club do not need to sell at all costs and we do certain operations only when we deem it appropriate, also taking into account the good of the boys.”

PSG and Liverpool target Franck Kessie could leave AC Milan in January, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. His contract expires at the end of the current season, meaning he can enter negotiations with non-Italian clubs in January unless an extension is confirmed. Milan have reportedly offered Kessié a new €6.5m-a-year deal, but the midfielder wants at least&nbsp;€8m.
