EXCLUSIVE BY MIKE KEEGAN: Instead of closing on September 1 officials want the window to remain open 'for as long as possible' according to a confidential memo obtained by Sportsmail.

Southampton are keen on the rising centre-back Disasi, 22, who helped Reims finish sixth in the now-aborted French league and qualify for the Europa League .

Santos president Jose Carlos Peres has revealed he is interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira. The 24-year-old is under contract at Old Trafford until June 2023.

A £75million offer has been tabled for Victor Osimhen, as the attention around the Nigerian youngster hots up ahead of the summer transfer window where he will be a target for Europe's elite.

The Barcelona star enters the final year of his contract at the Nou Camp this summer and the Spanish side are keen to recoup a transfer fee for him to help ease their financial concerns.

Paul Pogba has struggled to settle at United since his £89million return from Juventus in 2016 and has been been linked with moves to Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain as well as a Juve return.

The Bosnian midfielder is keen on the move from Turin to the Nou Camp once the summer transfer window opens but any deal involves Brazilian Arthur agreeing to join Juventus.

Rojo, currently on loan at Argentine club Estudiantes, was filmed smoking and playing cards with friends by his brother Franco, who then uploaded the clip into his Instagram account.

The Argentine star has impressed Maurizio Sarri this season - scoring 13 goals in 34 games and providing 12 assists - and is once again becoming a key player for the current Serie A leaders.

Arsenal have reportedly started talks regarding Henrikh Mkhitaryan's future at the club, with Roma keen to sign him to a permanent contract, according to The Mirror.  

The Brazilian star has been regularly linked with a return to the Nou Camp though PSG's £175million asking price was likely to prove a stumbling block. But Neymar will make a financial sacrifice.

While there has been much talk of Kylian Mbappe leaving PSG, it now seems he could be staying in Paris by accepting a contract extension.

Mikel Arteta had identified Partey as a transfer target earlier in the season, with the Gunners boss hoping to convince the board to strike a deal for the 26-year-old when football returns to normality.

EXCLUSIVE BY SAMI MOKBEL: He has strong interest in him from abroad following his successful spell at Zulte Waregem but the forward has told Sportsmail that he is open to returning to the UK.

Stiller has only been part of Bayern's reserve side since January and is not yet part of the cabal of players able to train with Hansi Flick and the first-team stars.

Reports in Argentina have claimed that Martinez, who has been capped by Argentina and has made 64 appearances for River since his debut in 2016, is a target for City manager Pep Guardiola.

After the shock revelation on Tuesday afternoon that the Ligue 1 season would not be restarting, clubs have been left to count the cost of the decision. That could leave some open to losing their top talents.

The Armenian playmaker has underwhelmed since moving to north London as part of the Alexis Sanchez swap deal with Manchester United in January 2018.

Herrera's five-year spell at Old Trafford came to an end when he joined Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer in the summer after his contract with the Red Devils had expired.

United want to keep him for longer after he scored four goals in eight games, but the issue has been complicated by the global football shutdown as Ighalo's loan enters its final three weeks.

Jurgen Klopp's side could snap up the 23-year-old in a cut-price deal if the imminent return of the Bundesliga means Rashica and Bremen are relegated before the middle of June.

The 21-year-old has established a reputation as one of the best young central defenders in Scandinavia - and Premier League club Brighton are among a host of teams keen.

Henry admits that while he hopes the striker remains in north London, he cannot convince him to stay when he also left the Gunners to join Barcelona in 2007, where he went on to win the Champions League.

Despite announcing that his 'ambition was to stay at the club next season' earlier this week, PSG are intent on allowing Meunier's deal to run it's course, according to Le Parisien.

Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic has agreed to a summer transfer to Barcelona. The La Liga champions have been tracking the Bosnian and plan to offer Arthur Melo to Juve in a swap deal.

The Gunners captain has little over a year remaining on his contract at the Emirates, and the north London club could be forced to sell him rather than risk losing him for nothing in 12 months.

The 19-year-old, who used to be on the books of Norwegian third-division club Fram Larvik before becoming a free agent, is in talks with Arsenal after convincing them to offer him a permanent contract.

Deadline day has arrived for the January transfer window as Premier League clubs have their last chance to make any signings for the second-half of the season. Follow LIVE news right here.
