Juventus interested in Dalot

Diogo Dalot is one of a number of Manchester United players whose contract is due to expire next summer. Whether or not he will extend his deal at Old Trafford remains to be seen but several teams will be keeping him on their transfer radars.

As per calciomercato, Juventus are interested in bringing the 23-year-old back to Serie A if he is available on a free transfer.

Lampard rules himself out of England reckoning

Gareth Southgate's future as England manager continues to be questioned amid the Three Lions' poor form. Frank Lampard is among those linked with replacing the current national team manager when his time is up, although he revealed that he's not interested at the moment.

“I’m very, very happy here and I have got a lot of work to do," said the Everton boss. "I’m trying to help us improve and get us towards the new stadium and all those things. It’s not in my thinking at all.”

Moleiro could cost Barcelona £53m

Alberto Moleiro was a player that piqued the interest of Barcelona during the summer but they were unable to strike a deal for the 19-year-old. Instead, he chose to sign a new contract with La Liga 2 side Las Palmas which includes a £26.5m release clause.

However, Football Espana have reported that it would double to £53m in the event of promotion to La Liga. That looks a real possibility at this early stage of the season as Las Palmas are top of the pile after seven games.

Reims hoping to extend Balogun loan

Folarin Balogun has been in brilliant form in Reims this season after completing a loan move from Arsenal in the summer. He has scored five goals and registered two assists for the Ligue 1 side in eight appearances so far.

Arsenal ready to compete with Barcelona for Neves

Judging by all the reports, there seems to be an almighty battle for Ruben Neves on the cards next summer. After Manchester United and Liverpool expressed an interest in the last window, it seems Barcelona are readying a proposal of their own.

And now, SPORT have claimed that Arsenal are also exploring a move for the Portuguese midfielder. The report adds that Neves has no intention of renewing his contract at Wolves so they may be forced into discussing his departure.
