Brahim Diaz has decided he will not renew his contract with Manchester City amid interest from Real Madrid. Despite three appearances in cup competitions this term, the 19-year-old has not featured in the Premier League since the end of 2017-18. His contract runs out at the end of the season and he has decided it is time to go and&nbsp;<a href="http://cadenaser.com/programa/2018/11/26/el_larguero/1543270441_744498.html" target="_blank">Cadena SER</a>&nbsp;says Madrid will try to sign him in January, but may have to wait until the summer to get him.

Paris Saint-Germain are targeting a move for Liverpool midfielder Fabinho in January, according to <a href="https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Transferts-le-psg-veut-relancer-fabinho-liverpool/962784" target="_blank">L'Equipe</a>. The midfielder has been a fringe player in his first season at Anfield following a £45 million (€50m$58m) move from Monaco, though Jurgen Klopp has publically rejected any notion he will leave this winter. However, the club is more amenicable to a move as long as they recoup their investment, and are willing to entertain a loan with an automatic purchase option of at least that fee.&nbsp;

Columbus Crew goalkeeper Zack Steffen is close to finalising a move to Manchester City in January, according to the <a href="https://theathletic.com/677178/2018/11/26/zack-steffen-manchester-city-transfer-columbus-crew-mls/" target="_blank">Athletic</a>. The fee for the United States international is still being negotiated but could reach upward of $10 million (£8m). Though he has featured for the USMNT for much of 2018, Steffen is not expected to be able to qualify for a work permit, and would need to go through the appeals process in order to receive one.

AC Milan are hoping to seal a discounted permanent deal for on-loan Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, reports <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/revealed-leonardo-and-ac-milan-s-plan-for-chelsea-s-bakayoko-83414" target="_blank">Calciomercato</a>.&nbsp; After a slow start to life in Italy&nbsp;Bakayoko&nbsp;has begun to show his value for Milan, going the distance in four straight league matches.&nbsp; Milan do not want to take up Bakayoko's&nbsp;€35 million (£31m/$40m)&nbsp;purchase option, but are hoping to negotiate a cheaper fee with Chelsea.&nbsp;

Juventus will not be sanctioning a loan switch for Moise Kean during the January transfer window, according to <a href="https://www.ilbianconero.com/a/mercato-juve-gia-fatta-la-scelta-su-kean-per-gennaio-28244" target="_blank">Il Bianconero</a>. The teenage forward was reportedly being lined up for a short-term stint away from Turin, but he will be retained through to the end of the season.

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is looking for an executive role, not a managerial post, claims<a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11670/11565233/former-arsenal-manager-arsene-wenger-wants-executive-role" target="_blank"> Sky Sports</a>. The Frenchman has been linked with several jobs, with spells at Real Madrid, AC Milan and Bayern Munich mooted, but he is not planning to return to the dugout.

Macclesfield Town have confirmed that they have appointed former Arsenal centre-back Sol Campbell as their new manager. In what is Campbell's first managerial role, the ex-England defender has been handed an 18-month deal to take charge of the League Two club. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/arsenal-legend-campbell-appointed-macclesfield-town-manager/1sm0cezh8f07j19xwlpgelz2ay" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Lyon are among the teams interested in Leo Laporte, brother of Manchester City's Aymeric, according to <a href="https://www.sudouest.fr/2018/11/27/football-l-agenais-leo-laporte-petit-frere-d-aymeric-dans-le-viseur-des-plus-grands-clubs-5603499-3603.php" target="_blank">Sud Ouest</a>.&nbsp; The 14-year-old Leo, who plays for SU Agen Football, is an attacker, rather than a defender like his brother. He has recently impressed a scout from Athletic Bilbao, the club where his brother featured, as well as drawing interest from Lyon and Saint Etienne.&nbsp;

Manchester United are respotedly interested in signing Porto centre-back Eder Militao as they continue their search for defensive reinforcements, according to the <a href="https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/eder-militao-manchester-uniteds-list-13651220">Daily Record</a>. The 20-year-old Brazilian is versatile, able to play at right-back or even at the base of midfield when needed.&nbsp; However, he only joined Porto from Sao Paolo in the summer and has started in their last seven consecutive league games, so the Portuguese club would likely look for significant compensation for their asset.

Manchester City are reportedly closing in on a £7.8m deal for Colombus Crew goalkeeper Zack Steffen, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6433351/Manchester-City-talks-7-8m-deal-Columbus-Crew-USA-No-1-goalkeeper-Zack-Steffen.html">Daily Mail</a>. However, the 23-year-old is likely to&nbsp;be sent out on loan to La Liga outfit Girona rather than immediately joining the first team at City. Championship side Bristol City tried to sign him earlier this year but the deal fell through over issues with his work permit, despite his status as&nbsp;USA's first-choice goalkeeper.

Liverpool are reportedly ready to test Real Madrid's resolve over Marco Asensio once again after a reported £160m bid was knocked back in the summer, according to <a href="https://okdiario.com/deportes/real-madrid/2018/11/27/inda-liverpool-volvera-asensio-peticion-klopp-3392282">OK Diario</a>. The bid was supposedly rejected in the hope that Asensio could begin to fill the boots of the departing Cristiano Ronaldo but he and the squad as a whole have underperformed since the Portuguese's departure. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is reportedly especially keen on the player and is hopeful that the club's current poor performances will convince them to sell the youngster and bring in a more experienced head.

Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic will not rule out a return to the Bundesliga. The Croatia international spent three years in Germany with Schalke before joining Sevilla and then earning a move to the Catalan side. While the 30-year-old is still thriving with the Blaugrana, he would consider going back to team up with Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund or Schalke. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/rakitic-opens-door-to-potential-bundesliga-return/yfx1qr8kf6qn1h09o8yoc1sv7" target="_blank">Read Rakitic's comments here</a>

Ajax have no desire to sell Andre Onana back to Barcelona, CEO Edwin van der Sar says. The 22-year-old goalkeeper has impressed since joining the Dutch side in 2015, establishing himself as one of the best in the Eredivisie. Reports that Barcelona hope to lure him back to Camp Nou may not come as a surprise to Van der Sar, but he told&nbsp;Goal&nbsp;that the Cameroon international is going nowhere <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/ajax-determined-to-keep-onana-amid-barcelona-rumours-says/o86ckqarm1lz1g1kio19q3yj9" target="_blank">Read Van der Sar's comments here</a>

Former Arsenal and England defender Sol Campbell is set to take charge of League Two side Macclesfield, says&nbsp;<a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/news/36067/11564979/sol-campbell-arrives-at-macclesfield-for-talks-over-managers-job" target="_blank">Sky Sports</a>. Campbell entered talks with the third tier club over the last few days after a spell working with the England Under 21s. Now he is about to take over and look to lift them off of the bottom of the league.

Barcelona director of football Eric Abidal met with Ajax star Matthijs de Ligt last week, according to <a href="https://www.ccma.cat/catradio/el-club-de-la-mitjanit/" target="_blank">Catalunya Radio</a>. The Catalan side are hoping to beat their rivals among Europe's elite to the signing of the 19-year-old centre-back and have made an advance on him by sending the former defender to speak to him.

Manchester United and Tottenham are monitoring Sampdoria defender Joachim Andersen,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-tottenham-scout-25million-13646266" target="_blank">The Mirror</a>&nbsp;claims. The 22-year-old Dane has impressed at centre-back since joining from Dutch side Twente last year, attracting interest from the Premier League. The Red Devils and Spurs sent scouts to check him out as his side drew 1-1 with rivals Genoa at the weekend.

Manchester United are on the look out for another Asian player similar to&nbsp;Park Ji-sung and Shinji Kagawa. The Red Devils scout Kei Tamura says he is looking around the continent for a player who fits Jose Mourinho's style of play and can simultaneously boost their marketing potential. "I am looking hard for the second Park Ji-sung and the successor to Kagawa," Tamura said. "I keep track of players who can be as good." <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/man-utd-scout-hunting-for-next-kagawa-in-asia/1w06dm3aq16z91cua3e822kt04" target="_blank">Click here to read the full story</a>

Borussia Dortmund may be willing to let highly-sought after forward Christian Pulisic go in the summer for around £70m, according to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/11/26/chelsea-liverpool-could-prise-christian-pulisic-borussia-dortmund/">The Telegraph</a>. Pulisic has made just four starts in the Bundesliga so far this season, with Jadon Sancho's meteoric rise seeing him lock down a starting berth. The American has often been linked with a move to the Premier League and a reunion with former manager Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool has been his&nbsp;most often-pipped destination, although Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have emerged as potential suitors as well.

Dortmund willing to sell Pulisic in summer

Manchester United have renewed their interest in Borussia Dortmund holding midfielder Axel Witsel, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6432767/Manchester-United-renew-Dortmund-star-Axel-Witsel.html">Daily Mail</a>. The Red Devils were linked with a move in the summer&nbsp;but opted instead for Brazilian midfielder Fred from Shakhtar Donetsk. Jose Mourinho travelled to watch Belgium's clash with Iceland earlier this month despite the fact that neither Romelu Lukaku nor Marouane Fellaini was involved, while Witsel completed the 90 minutes.

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is reportedly keen on the Bayern Munich job, with incumbent head coach Niko Kovac coming under increasing pressure, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6432785/Arsenal-icon-Arsene-Wenger-wants-Bayern-Munich-job-amid-Niko-Kovacs-struggles.html">Daily Mail</a>. Bayern are currently fifth in the Bundesliga, nine points adrift of table-topping Borussia Dortmund, and drew 3-3 with 17th-placed Fortuna Dusseldorf at home&nbsp;in their last match. And three-time Premier League winner Wenger would like to take over at a club where he has a realistic chance of finishing his career with silverware&nbsp;and&nbsp;feels he could turn Bayern's fortunes around.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery is likely to seek a replacement for defender Shkodran Mustafi, according to the <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2018/11/26/unai-emery-tipped-to-sign-new-defender-to-replace-erratic-arsenal-defender-shkodran-mustafi-8180044/">Metro</a>. The German has regularly produced erratic displays at the heart of defence for the Gunners, giving away a needless penalty against Crystal Palace as well as a&nbsp;stoppage-time free-kick in a dangerous position against Bournemouth. Despite Arsenal's 17-game unbeaten run in all competitions, there have been just five clean sheets in that period, with just two coming in the Premier League.

All the attention may be on Cristiano Ronaldo this season, but it is Joao Cancelo who has established himself as Juventus' top signing. The 24-year-old joined from Valencia in a move that was largely overshadowed by the arrival of Portuguese icon Ronaldo from Real Madrid. And it is the young full-back who has emerged as the real surprise package and looks capable of becoming the best in the world in his position. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/the-worlds-best-right-back-juventus-top-summer-transfer-was/1f71d2r30xzke10798swcp201r" target="_blank">Click here to read Mark Doyle's profile on Cancelo</a>

Shinji Kagawa wants to move to Spain before he retires as he looks to return to first team football. The Japan international has made just two Bundesliga appearances at Borussia Dortmund and is open to leaving in the near future. And it could be the time for him to follow his dream of playing in La Liga before he ends his career. "I want to solve the current situation as soon as possible," he told&nbsp;Nikkan Sports. "One way is to change the team. I want to change the environment and the challenge. "I have always been thinking about how I can go to Spain in the last couple of years. I can't retire without going to Spain."

Ousmane Dembele does not want to leave Barcelona in January&nbsp;,<a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20181127/453201355173/dembele-salida-barcelona.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>&nbsp;claims. The French winger has had a difficult time at Camp Nou, as he has been given limited playing time amid some disciplinary problems, but he emerged to score late goal in the 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid. Although Dembele had been tipped to head for the Premier League in the next transfer window, but the Spanish outlet claims he has no desire to leave yet.

Manchester United are monitoring Marko Arnautovic, but any move for the West Ham star will depend on&nbsp;whether or not Jose Mourinho remains as the club’s manager, according to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/11/26/manchester-united-express-interest-west-ham-striker-marko-arnautovic/">the Telegraph</a>. West Ham are determined to keep hold of the Austrian star, and Man Utd are set to monitor the forward until the summer before making a decision on whether or not to pursue a deal. However, at 29 and with three years remaining on his deal, Arnautovic would likely&nbsp;command a fee Mourinho and co. would be unwilling to pay for a player his age.&nbsp;

As the club continues its push for MLS Cup, Sporting KC finalized a new deal for Seth Sinovic, <a href="https://www.sportingkc.com/post/2018/11/26/sporting-kc-signs-defender-seth-sinovic-new-contract">the club announced</a>.&nbsp; Sporting KC is fresh off a scoreless draw to open their Western Conference final clash with the Portland Timbers, but the club also found time to tie down a defender that made 25 appearances this season. Sinovic has won four trophies with the club since joining in 2011 and ranks 10th in club history with 228 appearances across all competitions.

Sporting KC re-sign Sinovic

Borussia Dortmund are ready to sanction a Christian Pulisic transfer as long as it happens during the summer, according to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/11/26/chelsea-liverpool-could-prise-christian-pulisic-borussia-dortmund/">the Telegraph</a>. Chelsea and Liverpool are seen as the favourites to sign the American star for a price around&nbsp;£70million deal. Pulisic's deal with Dortmund is set to expire in 2020.&nbsp;

West Ham are prepared to wait until the summer before resuming contract talks with Declan Rice, according to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/nov/26/west-ham-declan-rice-contract">the Guardian</a>. The young midfielder has earned interest from several other clubs and, with a year-and-a-half remaining on his deal, it's imperative that West Ham avoid losing him for free. Rice's future is also up in the air on the international level as the 19 year old could still switch allegiances to England after previously featuring for Ireland in friendly action.

West Ham to wait until summer for Rice deal

Manchester United will wait on a bid for&nbsp;Marko Arnautovic, though their interest does remain, according to the <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/11/26/manchester-united-express-interest-west-ham-striker-marko-arnautovic/">Telegraph</a>. The Red Devils plan to continuing to monitor the striker and decide at the end of the season whether to make a move for him. Because Marko Arnautovic is 29 years old, and will command a large fee, the club's pursuit may hinge on Jose Mourinho remaining the club's manager past this season.&nbsp;

Man Utd to wait on Arnautovic bid

Ashley Cole has been released by the&nbsp;LA Galaxy&nbsp;as the&nbsp;club opted to decline the defender's contract&nbsp;as part of its year-end roster moves. Cole, who was one of eight players released by the club, joined the Galaxy in 2016 and went on to make 83 regular season appearances for the&nbsp;MLS&nbsp;side. Cole was largely the bright spot in a porous&nbsp;defense which conceded 64 goals, but, with the fullback now 37 years old, the club will go in a new direction. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/ashley-cole-released-by-la-galaxy-as-part-of-year-end-roster/6bpdvhpuia481dyi45ga1niu4" target="_blank">Read the full story here on Goal!</a>

Arsenal manager Unai Emery will likely drop Mesut Ozil from tough away matches going forward, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6431017/No-playing-away-Mesut-Ozil-Arsenal-manager-Unai-Emery-drop-German-tough-trips.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>. Ozil was a shock omission from the XI against Bournemouth&nbsp;and did not play in the 2-1 victory, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/a-demanding-match-physically-emery-explains-why-he-dropped/sdq3ehxn5r2w1ggjiuj7dmcnr" target="_blank">physicality cited as the cause by the Gunners boss</a>.&nbsp; Emery was displeased with Ozil's performance against Crystal Palace, which confirmed the manager's belief that the playmaker is not the right option for certain types of matches.&nbsp;

Former Arsenal defender Sol Campbell is close to being named the manager of League Two side&nbsp;Macclesfield Town, according to <a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/news/36067/11564686/sol-campbell-in-advanced-talks-with-macclesfield-over-managers-job" target="_blank">Sky Sports</a>. Campbell, who had a spell as an assistant coach with Trinidad and Tobago, is in advanced talks with the club and could be on hand to watch the club's game on Tuesday against Exeter.&nbsp; The former Gunner previously held talks with Oxford United in March, and had interviews earlier this year with&nbsp;Oldham and Grimsby.
