Chelsea&nbsp;are in pole position to sign&nbsp;Bayer Leverkusen&nbsp;star Kai Havertz, with&nbsp;Goal&nbsp;having learned that a number of rival suitors were put off by the&nbsp;€100 million (£90m/$112m) price tag being placed on him this summer. The effects of the coronavirus pandemic on club finances across the European football landscape means few clubs can match the resources at Stamford Bridge this summer and, as such, it has left them leading the race for the 21-year-old. Check out the full story here.

Neymar's proposed return to&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;has essentially been ruled out by club president Josep Bartomeu, who says the transfer market will be negatively impacted by the coronavirus crisis. The&nbsp;Brazil&nbsp;international became the world's most expensive player when he swapped Barca for PSG in a €222 million (£201m/$250m) deal, but&nbsp;has since struggled to live up to that hefty price tag. Injuries and off-field issues have overshadowed Neymar's time in the French capital, and he&nbsp;admitted last year that he would like to go back to Camp Nou to rediscover his love for the game.
