Bojan Krkic believes&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;would be better off signing&nbsp;Liverpool&nbsp;forward Roberto Firmino than Argentinian target Lautaro Martinez. Inter&nbsp;striker Martinez has been strongly linked with a switch to Camp Nou at the end of the season, where he would team up with international colleague Lionel Messi, but former Barca star Bojan suspects Martinez does not have the qualities that Barca require, given their shape and playing style. He has warned signing another out-and-out striker could prove an error, after the difficulty Antoine Griezmann has encountered in settling following his move from&nbsp;Atletico Madrid.

Paul Pogba is unlikely to attract offers of up to £100 million ($124m), thinks Gary Neville, with it possible that the Frenchman could help&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;to challenge for the Premier League title in 2020-21. Speculation regarding the future of the&nbsp;World Cup-winning midfielder&nbsp;at Old Trafford has raged for some time. Pogba has left the&nbsp;exit door open, but his&nbsp;struggles for form and fitness in the current campaign&nbsp;– along with the expected impact&nbsp;of the coronavirus pandemic on the transfer market – means that the 27-year-old could be forced to stay put. Neville told Sky Sports:&nbsp;“I just wonder now with what’s happened, obviously with coronavirus and the economic reset in football, which clubs are actually going to be able to buy Paul Pogba for the reported 80, 90, £100m? “Which clubs are going to pay the huge wages Paul Pogba is on at Manchester United? I’m not diminishing him as a player, I’m talking about the economic situation that the whole world finds itself in." <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/pogba-man-utd-challenge-title-next-season-neville-100m-bids/ba5vty26noba1motw9rzpu27p" target="_blank">You can read his thoughts in full on Goal.</a>

The former goalkeeper told&nbsp;Reuters:&nbsp;“Of course, the €150 to 200 million transfers are gone, but I think there is still a lot of value for players who come from Ajax. Well educated, experienced in winning and playing European football. “Last year, we made verbal agreements with Onana, [Nicolas] Tagliafico, Van de Beek to stay another season and then we look to help each other and find the next step in their careers. Nothing has changed. There won’t be a 50% discount.

Kylian Mbappe could emulate Cristiano Ronaldo at&nbsp;Real Madrid, while Erling Haaland would be a great replacement for Karim Benzema, according to the club's former assistant coach Jose Morais. Morais, now the head coach of Jeonbuk Motors, told&nbsp;Stats Perform: "I think Mbappe is definitely one of the players that can be a target for Real Madrid because he is still young and his quality, talent and strength is capable to project him into one of the best players in the world." He continued: "I think [Haaland] is a great player. He's also one of the young players with very great quality. His finishing qualities are unbelievable. "Benzema is a fantastic player, a goalscorer, he has the quality that he has playing for Madrid all these years. I think Haaland is definitely a good option to replace a striker like him." <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/kylian-mabppe-emulate-cristiano-ronaldo-real-madrid-erling/1n3qnvqfgy2wa18uv7f4x6pcsk" target="_blank">You can read his thoughts in full here.</a>

Barcelona&nbsp;could prove to be the "perfect place"&nbsp;for Lautaro Martinez, says Fabio Radaelli, with the man who took the&nbsp;Inter&nbsp;forward to Racing admitting that the opportunity to link up with Lionel Messi is too good to pass up.

Quizzed on the current situation by United’s&nbsp;official website, the former midfielder said: "Honestly, I’m not sure how that’s going to work. I don’t think it’s been sorted. "Contracts, for instance, how do they work? At every club, players’ contracts are up; how do you sign players? I don’t think it’s been sorted. It’s not something I’m directly involved in but we don’t even know when we’re officially going back to training yet. "It’s so much further down the line and it’s a tough one to plan for.
