Tottenham are leading the chase for one of Barcelona's best prospects, wonderkid Ilaix Moriba, as the Catalan club could be forced to sell him in the next week, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/marcoconterio/status/1430996779139534849" target="_blank">Tuttomercato</a>. Ilaix, an 18-year-old midfielder, has seen his contract renewal talks break down this summer. Barcelona reportedly won't let him play for them until he agrees to a fresh deal, and he could instead choose to move elsewhere. Spurs have historically not been able to attain the very best youngsters in the world once they've already begun to break out, with London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal often beating them to the punch, so this would be seen as a major accomplishment for the club if a deal gets done.

Rafa Benitez has ruled out selling Richarlison before the end of the summer transfer window as the Everton forward continues to attract interest from Paris Saint-Germain. Richarlison initially joined Everton from Watford for £50 million ($69m) back in 2018, and has since established himself as one of the top forwards outside the Premier League's top six. The Brazilian is contracted to remain at Goodison Park until 2024&nbsp;but it has been suggested that he could move onto pastures new this summer, with PSG reportedly weighing up a swoop for his services.

Wayne Rooney says former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't dare join Manchester City this transfer window and dash his Manchester United legacy, though&nbsp;recent reports&nbsp;suggest such a move is possible if not likely.

And as someone who knows Ronaldo well, Rooney "can't see" the Juventus forward joining the rival organisation. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/rooney-ronaldo-wouldnt-join-manchester-city/f57k0hd062l51mpgx65ibpjx3" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>
