Paulo Dybala has a new contract through to 2025 agreed with Juventus, according to <a href="https://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/calciomercato/2020/07/14-71746648/juve_dybala_firma_fino_al_2025/" target="_blank">Tuttosport.</a> The Argentine is set to put pen to paper in August, with the Bianconeri viewing him as the face of the club once Cristiano Ronaldo and Gianluigi Buffon depart.

Manchester United are ready to do battle with Manchester City in the transfer market for the signature of&nbsp;Real Sociedad winger Mikel Oyarzabal - according to <a href="https://www.todofichajes.com/oyarzabal-tambien-en-la-agenda-del-united/" target="_blank">Todofichajes</a>. The 23-year-old has a €70 million (£64m/$80m) release clause in his current contract, but the Red Devils are hoping a deal can be done for around €50 million (£45m/$57m). However, City have been strongly linked with Oyarzabal in recent weeks, and a bidding way could erupt between the Manchester rivals later this summer.

Paris Saint-Germain have made Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford a top target for the next transfer window. <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/manchester-united-marcus-rashford-psg-transfer-thomas-tuchel-epl-a9617081.html" target="_blank">The Independent</a> claims that the Ligue 1 champions are mulling over a big-money move for another versatile forward to slot in alongside Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

Real Madrid are confident of prising Kylian Mbappe away from Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 - according to <a href="https://us.marca.com/claro/futbol/real-madrid/2020/07/13/5f0c8326ca474136798b459e.html" target="_blank">Marca</a>. If the French club want the 21-year-old to extend his stay at Parc des Princes beyond 2022, but he has yet to agree to fresh terms. Madrid will swoop for Mbappe next number if he continues to stall on a new contract, but PSG are likely to demand a world-record fee for a prized asset.

West Ham have a fight on their hands to keep Grady Diangana at the club, with Ajax and Celtic circling the star, claims <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/12121732/west-ham-celtic-ajax-grady-diangana-west-brom/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>. The 22-year-old has been in fine form for West Brom in the Championship this term, helping to spearhead the Baggies' promotion push. However, David Moyes' parent club may be unable to reap the rewards of his improved form themselves as the Dutch and Scottish heavyweights weigh up a move for him.

Former&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;goalkeeping coach Emilio Alvarez has revealed that he left the club following a fallout with David De Gea over the player's future, after the shotstopper put pen to paper on a new deal at Old Trafford. The 48-year-old has played down suggestions that he was released from his role at Carrington, instead revealing that his exit came down to personal and professional differences with the Spaniard between the sticks. De Gea extended his stay with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side last September, signing a new four-year contract that will keep him in Manchester until 2023, potentially taking him up to a dozen years with the Red Devils. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/i-didnt-want-to-coach-de-gea-any-more/5vjrznxqrjyl1w6q7x7q1cz9o" target="_blank">Read the full story on GOAL here!</a>
