Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Man Utd line up Wolves boss Nuno to replace Mourinho

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has left the door open to him leaving Old Trafford in the January transfer window. The France international continues to be linked with Barcelona, and he refused to confirm whether he would see out the season with United. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/pogba-not-ruling-out-man-utd-exit-in-january/19di61k8pz26g1qbdp6bjmbdqq" target="_blank">Check out the full story right here!</a>

Pogba not ruling out January move

Manchester United are lining up Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo as a potential replacement for Jose Mourinho, according to&nbsp;Bild&nbsp;(via&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/727876/Man-Utd-Wolves-Jose-Mourinho-Nuno-Santo-news-sack-replacement" target="_blank">Daily Star</a>). The Red Devils hierarchy are running out of patience with Mourinho after a difficult summer transfer window and a poor start to the Premier League season. And Nuno - who earned promotion to the Premier League last season with Wolves - is on the Old Trafford outfit's shortlist to step into his Portuguese compatriot's shoes.

Having failed to sign a defender this summer, Jose Mourinho's Manchester United have got Atletico Madrid's Lucas Hernandez in their viewfinder, <a href="https://www.francefootball.fr/news/Mercato-on-a-appris-dans-france-football-que-le-real-voulait-lucas-hernandez/936839" target="_blank">France Football</a> reports. The France World Cup winner is under contract until 2024 and has a release clause of €80 million, but Atleti want to improve his terms and raise the clause to €140m. Complicating matters are Real Madrid, who also want to sign the versatile 22-year-old, who is capable of playing a centre-back but was Les Bleus' left-back at Russia 2018.

The Argentine legend won the World Cup in Mexico in 1986 but never has worked in the country. There are still details to work out, including how the 57-year-old will get out of the contract he signed to be the chairman of&nbsp;Dynamo Brest in Belarus.

Paul Pogba will not force a January exit from Manchester United despite remaining at odds with Jose Mourinho, according to the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/paul-pogba-jose-mourinho-call-13198281?_ga=2.15122687.852853046.1536185351-1417034702.1499567525" target="_blank">Mirror</a>. The France star has held talks with Mourinho where the two agreed to put off any potential move until the summer.&nbsp; However, while Pogba has accepted he will not move this season, he is likely to push for a move to Spain or a return to Juventus come the summer.

Chelsea&nbsp;midfielder Jorginho agreed terms on a move to Manchester&nbsp;City before moving to Stamford Bridge, his agent has confirmed. As revealed by&nbsp;Goal&nbsp;back in April, however, London was not his first choice destination during the transfer window as City had lined up a stunning deal to bring him to Manchester. "It was all done with Jorginho. There was an agreement, but there was no agreement between the clubs. All parties have to agree, and one did not," Joao Santos said on Thursday. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/jorginhos-agent-claims-his-player-agreed-to-join-man-city-before-/8p3khttezii41ag9lxpzwyko2" target="_blank">Read the full story here!</a>

Pep Guardiola has given Manchester City chiefs the green light&nbsp;to make a move for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder&nbsp;Adrien Rabiot, according to <a href="https://www.donbalon.com/noticia/detalle/100099/pep-guardiola-descuelga-telefono-oferta-hace-temblar-barca-lleva-crack" target="_blank">Don Balon.</a> The 23-year-old is also being chased by both Barcelona and&nbsp;AC Milan, while Liverpool are thought to have already made contact with the player's representatives. Rabiot, who sees his currect PSG deal expire at the end of the season, has previously expressed his desire to play in the English top flight, saying:&nbsp;“I would love to play in the Premier League, not necessarily one club in particular, even though I was very fond of Liverpool when I was young."

Australian club Central Coast Mariners are in talks over a deal to sign Aston Villa outcast Ross McCormack&nbsp;according to the <a href="https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/aston-villa/2018/09/06/aston-villa-striker-ross-mccormack-in-talks-to-join-usain-bolt-at-central-coast-mariners/" target="_blank">Express and Star.</a> McCormack&nbsp;joined the Midlands club in a £12 million (€15.5m) move from Fulham in 2006 but has spent time on loan at Nottingham Forest and Melbourne City as he is deemed surplus to requirements at Villa Park. Should the former Scotland forward seal a switch to the Mariners, he could be lining up alongside Olympic champion Usain Bolt, who is spending time on trial at the club as he chases his dream of becoming a professional footballer.

Juventus and Inter are set to battle to sign Fiorentina forward Federico Chiesa, according to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/calciomercato/2018/09/06-47147268/calciomercato_chiesa_scalda_juventus-inter/" target="_blank">Tuttosport</a>. The 20-year-old has already earned call-ups to the Italy national team and is one of the hottest prospects in Serie A.

Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak is top of Inter's goalkeeping shortlist as they eye a replacement for Samir Handanovic, according to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/calciomercato/2018/09/06-47148943/inter_per_il_post_handanovic_il_sogno_oblak_ma_occhio_a_lafont/" target="_blank">Tuttosport</a>. Handanovic is now 35 and the San Siro outfit are keen to secure a No.1 who they can rely on for the forseeable future. They are aware, however, how difficult it will be to prise Oblak away from the Spanish capital, and as such have also taken an interest in Fiorentina's Alban Lafont.

Tottenham are the latest in a long line of clubs to show an interest in signing Ajax youngster Frenkie De Jong, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20180906/451663116847/la-batalla-que-viene-por-de-jong.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>.

And now they are set to face competition from Spurs as well as Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Roma.

Despite the summer arrivals of Fabri and Francisco Rico, Bettinelli has regained the No.1 jersey for Slavisa Jokanovic's side. His performances saw him called-up to the England squad for the first time this week, and now he is set to agree terms on a fresh deal amid interest from West Ham and Crystal Palace.

Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic was offered a deal worth&nbsp;€8 million (£7m/$9m) from an unnamed French club, according to his agent. The Serbia international was linked with Paris Saint-Germain during the summer window, and this news suggests that the Ligue 1 champions did all they could to bring him to Milinkovic-Savic. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/lazio-ace-milinkovic-savic-offered-bumper-8m-per-year-psg/ulh22hmbl8g71knvztxznzll4" target="_blank">Check out the full story right here!</a>

AC Milan are the latest club to show an interest in signing Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot, according to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/calcio-mercato/2018/09/06-47145073/modric-rabiot-lobotka_ecco_il_piano_anti-juventus_delle_rivali/" target="_blank">Corriere dello Sport</a>. The Rossoneri are keen to close the gap on Juventus in Serie A, and see Rabiot - who is out of contract at the end of this season - as an affordable upgrade on their current midfield options. They are likely to face competition from Barcelona, but sporting director Leonardo is confident the France international can be tempted to San Siro.

Two years ago many expected Victor Moses to leave Chelsea, but a resurgence under Antonio Conte saw him become a key cog at Stamford Bridge.

The Spain international has been in talks over a new deal over the summer and is now set to put pen to paper after agreeing terms.

Despite reports claiming that Jose Mourinho wanted to take a risk in signing John Terry, the <a href="https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-transfers-recap-mourinho-15112256" target="_blank">Manchester Evening News</a> reports that there is no interest from the Old Trafford outfit in the former Chelsea star.&nbsp; Terry was a star for Mourinho with the Blues and is a free agent.

Manchester City are looking at Real Betis left-back&nbsp;Junior Firpo, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.elconfidencial.com/deportes/futbol/2018-09-05/junior-real-betis-luis-enrique-pep-guardiola_1611434/" target="_blank">El Confidencial</a>. The 22-year-old Firpo has drawn the eye of City scouts, whose reports have piqued the interest of Pep Guardiola. However, Firpo recently signed a new deal with Betis with a €60 million (£54m/$70m) release clause, so he will not be easy to pry away from the La Liga side.

Real Madrid could lose out on the services of teenager Vinicius Junior for this winter if he does not see more first team time, reports <a href="http://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2018/09/06/5b90328c468aebd5458b4602.html" target="_blank">Marca</a>. The teenager had an agreement where if he came over in the summer of 2018, he could return to Brazil for the winter and spring if he did not like the situation with Madrid. Vinicius has been frustrated to have been relegated to Madrid's B team, and would return in the summer if he did indeed depart for Brazil this winter.
