Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Hazard open to Chelsea exit

Juventus are ready to make a formal contract offer to Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey, reports CalcioMercato.

The Wales midfielder will not renew his current deal at the Emirates Stadium, despite manager Unai Emery's wishes to retain his services.

Roma are ready to offer Lorenzo Pellegrini a new contract according to Corriere Dello Sport.

The club have fended off interest from the likes of Juventus, Inter and Milan and are looking to tie the midfielder down until 2022.

Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud is not interested in a switch to Besiktas, reports Le10Sport.

The Frenchman has struggled to make an impact at Stamford Bridge this season, and will be out of contract in June. 

But his next destination will not be Turkey, as a move to the Istanbul club has been categorically ruled out.

The Mirror's David McDonnell insists that Jose Mourinho is set for the sack at Manchester United, despite the club officially denying the reports: 

"I stand by our story. I stand by our source."

"I don't put any store by what Man Utd say."@DiscoMirror broke the story that Jose Mourinho WILL be sacked and joined us on #SaturdaySav.

Gennaro Gattuso has dismissed speculation linking Zlatan Ibrahimovic to a return to AC Milan.

The Italian club are said to want the LA Galaxy star back on a short-term contract, but the coach says he is in the dark over a potential move.

Brighton are following Rangers defender James Tavernier and preparing to make a bid in January, The Daily Mail says.

The Premier League side sent scouts to watch the 26-year-old full-back in Thursday's Europa League game against Rapid Vienna. 

Swansea and West Bromwich Albion have also shown an interest in Tavernier, who signed a new contract last month, but Brighton could swoop in with an offer in the next transfer window.

Barca & Man Utd said to want centre-back

Napoli have set an asking price of over €100 million (£88m/$115m) for star defender Kalidou Koulibaly, Corriere dello Sport says.

The 27-year-old defender has been tracked by clubs across Europe for the last couple of years, but the Serie A side have been determined to hold on to him.

He extended his contract to 2023 last month and is happy at Napoli, so any interested parties will have to go all out to tear him away any time soon.

Calum Chambers was expected to be a first-team regular at Arsenal under Unai Emery, but ended up being loaned to Fulham for the season.

Inter are monitoring Mousa Dembele's situation at Tottenham as his contract nears its expiration, Calciomercato reports.

The Italian side made an approach for the midfielder in the last transfer window but Spurs' asking price was too high.

Interest is growin in Dembele as his contract expires at the end of the season and Chinese side Beijing Guoan are one of those ready to make him an offer.

Inter, meanwhile, are yet to throw themselves back into the race but could swoop in eventually.

Marseille an option for striker

Olivier Giroud is not interested in joining Besiktas despite claims the Chelsea striker is in talks over a move, Le10Sport claims.

Giroud may be on his way out of Stamford Bridge at the end of the season, even though the club have an option to extend his contract for another year.

While Besiktas were said to have offered him a big contract, he will keep exploring his options, with Marseille seen as a possible candidate to sign the 32-year-old.
