Giorgio Chiellini and Gianluigi Buffon are set to sign new deals with&nbsp;Juventus,&nbsp;sources close to the club have revealed, with the Italian veterans having been heading towards the end of their current contracts at the end of June. It is understood that proposals to keep the long-serving pair at the Juventus Stadium have been in the works for quite some time and would already have been completed had the coronavirus pandemic not called a halt to sport the world over. With the renewal, it is only a matter of time before Buffon becomes the record holder for most&nbsp;Serie A&nbsp;appearances, with the 42-year-old currently sitting neck and neck with legendary defender Paolo Maldini on 647. Chiellini putting pen to paper on an extension will please both the 35-year-old and the fans, with the centre-back having missed a huge chunk of the season after rupturing his cruciate ligament in August of last year. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/buffon-chiellini-renew-juventus-contracts/ojaotfhkibh915b5mqfwv3hzw" target="_blank">You can read the full story on Goal.</a>

Zanetti was asked about Martinez during an Instagram Live session with former Inter striker Christian Vieri and he said: "I will be sincere. When we took him, we knew he was one of&nbsp;Argentina's most promising young men.&nbsp; "Now with the work of [head coach Antonio] Conte, at just 22 years old, he can give a lot.&nbsp;Right now here, with everything that is happening, we are not thinking about what he will do.&nbsp; "Then we'll see, but now I see him very happy here at Inter.&nbsp;And with Lukaku he is great." <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/zanetti-barcelona-i-see-lautaro-very-happy-at-inter/12pezytgiptst1pgdyp57xnbaf" target="_blank">You can read the article in full on Goal.</a>

Newcastle's takeover&nbsp;by a Saudi Arabia-backed consortium could see the club spend up to&nbsp;£150 million ($185m) in the next transfer window, <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2888242-griezmann-coutinho-pochettino-whats-the-truth-in-newcastles-transfer-rumour" target="_blank">Bleacher Report</a>&nbsp;claims. The Magpies have been linked with a number of big-name players and managers, but are unlikely to attract the likes of&nbsp;Antoine Griezmann&nbsp;or&nbsp;Mauricio Pochettino&nbsp;without the promise of Champions League football. Lyon striker Moussa Dembele, though, has been mentioned as a more realistic option for the club.
