Ilkay Gundogan has hailed&nbsp;Leicester City&nbsp;defender Caglar Soyuncu as one of the Premier League’s top performers and suggested&nbsp;Manchester City&nbsp;should sign him.

Ivan Rakitic has attempted to quash speculation over his future by insisting he will stay at&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;next season. It has been suggested&nbsp;that the Blaugrana will cash in on the 31-year-old before he becomes a free agent in 2021,&nbsp;with Sevilla reportedly eager to re-sign&nbsp;their&nbsp;former talisman when the transfer market reopens. But <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/rakitic-says-stay-at-barcelona-next-season-admits-not-nice-to-be-/nibn5r8myv3i17ye4t8icfhib" target="_blank">Rakitic says he is going nowhere this summer</a>, even though he is not happy being left out of the Blaugrana team.

Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic has turned down offers from Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain because he is determined to seal a move to Barcelona this summer, according to <a href="https://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2020/06/07/5edcc0b346163fa77b8b459c.html" target="_blank">Marca</a>. Barca are keen to sign the Croatia international but talks between the two sides have so far yet to reach an agreement over a fee.

The 22-year-old, who joined the Rossoneri from Empoli last summer, is believed to have a €50 million (£45m/$56m) release clause in his contract.

Spurs had explored the possibility of reviving their interest this summer&nbsp; but feel Zaniolo is&nbsp;overpriced by his club and is subsequently out of their budget.

Goal has reported that Chelsea have agreed to pay Werner's £54 million ($68m) buy-out clause, after offering the 24-year-old a contract worth £9m per season at Stamford Bridge. Liverpool had initially been touted as the most likely next destination for the&nbsp;Germany&nbsp;international, who admitted back in February that Jurgen Klopp's philosophy would suit his style of play.

Jeremie Boga has stated he remains committed to&nbsp;Sassuolo&nbsp;despite the transfer interest surrounding him. The 23-year-old&nbsp;Ivory Coast&nbsp;international has been the standout player for Roberto De Zerbi’s side this season, having a hand in 12&nbsp;Serie A&nbsp;goals (eight goals, four assists) which see them sit in 11th spot, seven points clear of the relegation zone and still within reach of European qualification. Boga – who has the highest average of successful dribbles (4.4 per game) in the Italian top-flight - has drawn interest from clubs like&nbsp;Napoli,&nbsp;Roma,&nbsp;Inter&nbsp;and his former club&nbsp;Chelsea, who inserted a buyback clause when he was sold in 2018 to Sassuolo, but are reportedly not intent on activating it.

Paul Pogba must be more "consistent" to earn a move to&nbsp;Real Madrid, according to Ander Herrera, who does not think the&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;midfielder has reached his full potential. Pogba has flattered to deceive at Old Trafford since making his way back to Manchester for a second spell at the club in 2016. United forked out £89 million ($113m) to bring the 27-year-old back from&nbsp;Juventus, but he has only shown flashes&nbsp;of the brilliance which saw him emerge as one of the top players in Europe at the Allianz Stadium. Critics have often singled Pogba out as a scapegoat for United's mediocre performances in recent years, leading to plenty of speculation over his future.
