Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Zidane dealt blow in Pogba pursuit

Barcelona have upped their offer to&nbsp;€100 million (£90m&nbsp;/$112m)plus two players for the services of Neymar, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://sport.sky.de/fussball/artikel/fc-barcelona-erhoeht-angebot-fuer-neymar/11765854/34266" target="_blank">Sky Germany</a>.&nbsp; Philippe Coutinho heads the list of six players offered to Paris Saint-Germain in part-exchange for the Brazilian, with Ousmane Dembele, Ivan Rakitic, Nelson Semedo and Malcom also possible candidates. But Coutinho is reluctant to move to PSG, who have already rejected a bid worth&nbsp;€40m plus two players from the Catalans.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has told Zinedine Zidane any pursuit of Paul Pogba this summer will be "very difficult", reports <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/3901962/sources-zidane-told-pogba-deal-very-difficult" target="_blank">ESPN</a>. On Wednesday evening, Zidane requested to Perez and director general Jose Angel Sanchez that a new pursuit of Pogba be attempted. But Zidane was told the&nbsp;€300 million spent on new players, plus Pogba's wages, makes a large money deal very unlikely. A sale of Gareth Bale would help matters, but the Wales star is intent on stay and Zidane is growing increasingly resigned to the fact he may have to give Bale another chance this season.

Lyon&nbsp;boss Sylvinho confirmed Nabil Fekir is in negotiations for a transfer as rumours of the club captain's impending move to&nbsp;Real Betis&nbsp;gather momentum. The&nbsp;France&nbsp;international, who turned 26 on Thursday, is expected to be announced as a Betis player soon, although a barrier to&nbsp;a reported €25 million (£22m/$28m) move could be Giovani Lo Celso's unresolved future.

Tottenham have been handed a bonus in their pursuit of Real Betis midfielder Giovanni Lo Celso as the La Liga outfit move closer to the signing of Nabil Fekir, reports the <a href="https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1154909/Tottenham-transfer-news-Giovani-Lo-Celso-Nabil-Fekir-Real-Betis-Mauricio-Pochettino-latest">Express</a>.&nbsp; The Lyon captain was extremely close to joining Liverpool last summer, before a move collapsed due to concerns over his right knee.

The addition of Philippe Coutinho in a potential return to Barcelona for Neymar could be key to the deal going ahead, reports <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/una-solucion-para-neymar-7558575">Sport.es</a>.

The Spanish sports newspaper insists that the inclusion of the former Liverpool man as part-payment would reduce the cash part of the agreement to around €70 million, a much more reasonable fee for both parties.&nbsp;
