Barcelona are in advanced talks over renewing Pedri's contract, with the Spaniard ready to agree a deal that will run until 2026. Goal&nbsp;can confirm talks have accelerated in the last 24 hours&nbsp;and Pedri is happy to continue with the Catalans, providing a huge boost to the club following their disappointing start to the season. Barca also plan to include a release clause worth more than €600m (£509m/$694m) as they attempt to ward off potential interest from some of Europe's biggest spenders. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/barcelona-pedri-contract-release-clause/x2ys317ybbkl10u5nb2uv4bln" target="_blank">Check out the full story here!</a>

Real Madrid have revived their interest in Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba - according to <a href="https://as.com/futbol/2021/10/13/primera/1634093663_191303.html" target="_blank">AS</a>.

Newcastle United want to sign Chelsea striker Timo Werner, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/1448197056175222786" target="_blank">Bild</a>. The Magpies have recently been taken over by wealthy new owners from Saudi Arabia, and have been linked with several high profile players around Europe. One of those is Werner, who shares an agent with Newcastle defender Fabian Schar and has found first team chances at Chelsea more limited after the signing of Romelu Lukaku.

Manchester United are in contention to sign Jules Kounde from Sevilla, according to&nbsp;Fichajes. The centre-back was pursued by Chelsea in the summer transfer window, but the Premier League side could not match Sevilla's asking price.

Mats Hummels insists Erling Haaland could stay with Borussia Dortmund - and warned the in-demand striker from his own personal experience at Bayern Munich that big moves do not always work out. He told Sport Bild:&nbsp;"I can fully understand him if he wants to stay! Because it's great in Dortmund, because he knows what he's got here.&nbsp;I haven't given up hope that he'll stay for a long time. "The grass on the other hand is not always greener. You really should be aware of that in football."

Edinson Cavani should leave Manchester United in January for the sake of his Uruguay career, says compatriot Gus Poyet.

Poyet told <a href="https://talksport.com/football/961222/" target="_blank">Talksport</a>:&nbsp;"He was unlucky, because without Ronaldo coming in, he was playing as the main striker. "Maybe he should move in January.&nbsp;From the outside, I don’t know him, but if I was him, seeing how things are now, and seeing him not getting to 90 minutes for the national team because he’s not playing ."
