Tottenham owners not interested in sale
The BBC says Tottenham's owners, ENIC Group, are not currently looking to sell the club, despite reported interest from billionaire Jahn Najafi.
For background on the proposed takeover, read this story on GOAL!
Dybala unsure about Roma future
Roma forward Paulo Dybala admitted he is unsure about his future at the club amid rumours linking him with a move to Manchester United in the summer.
The Argentine has a release clause reportedly worth €20 million that comes into play from June, which is valid for any club - including those from abroad.
Dybala, who has 11 goals in 21 appearances for the Giallorossi this campaign, admitted in a press conference on Wednesday: “I respect the clause, but it’s something between my agents at the club. I don’t know what will happen at the end of the season.
“I don’t know about my future; imagine the coach’s. I’d like to be coached by him [Mourinho] because he is one of the best, I want to win with him. Now, I only think about doing well tomorrow. I want to win with Roma and help the team qualify for the Champions League.”
Todd Boehly met PSG president over Neymar transfer
Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly reportedly met Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi on Tuesday over the potential transfer of Neymar in the summer.
That's according to a report from French outlet Le Parisien, who note the Blues' interest in the Brazilian since last summer, back when Thomas Tuchel was still in charge.
It is thought that a fee of around €60m would be enough to land Neymar, although his hefty wages of €36m per year could be enough to put Chelsea off from finalising the move.
Liverpool scouts impressed by Sporting's Inacio
Liverpool reportedly sent scouts to watching Sporting CP defender Goncalo Inacio in action during their 2-1 home defeat to Porto on Sunday, reports Portuguese outlet Correio da Manha.
Despite the loss, the Merseyside club are thought to have been so impressed by the 21-year-old that they could consider tabling a bid in the summer.
Sporting seem unlikely to qualify for the Champions League this campaign and could utilise the defender's £40m release clause as a way of funding their budget. Liverpool, meanwhile, could look to Inacio to rejuvenate their ageing back line.
Martinez sale could fund Villa's summer spree
While it was revealed that Aston Villa are under no pressure to sell goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, the Daily Mail are reporting that the club could demand a higher asking price when he inevitably leaves in the summer.
With many clubs thought to be interested, Villa are thought to want to cash in on their shot stopper in order to fund a summer rebuild under new manager Unai Emery.
Martinez was awarded the Golden Glove in Qatar and has attracted a host of potential suitors from across Europe, while Emery could be in the market for a more ball-playing goalkeeper as his replacement.
Arteta wants Zubimendi in the summer
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has reportedly told the club that they should sign Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi in the summer, according to Spanish outlet Sport.
The Gunners are in need of offensive reinforcements beyond solely Jorginho, who joined in January, having momentarily lost out on Brighton's Moises Caicedo.
The 24-year-old has impressed for La Liga dark horses Sociedad this campaign, and has a release clause of €60 million (£52.6m) which Arsenal may need to trigger.

Fenerbahce want Mason Greenwood (FotoSpor)
Fenerbahce have contacted Manchester United about signing Mason Greenwood, according to Turkish outlet FutoSpor.
Greenwood is not expected to play for the Red Devils this term as the club completes an internal investigation into accusations of attempted rape, assault and coercive and controlling behaviour. Their inquiry is separate from that of the legal system, as the Crown Prosecution Service recently dropped all charges against him. It's possible he doesn't play for them again.
Fenerbahce are said to be willing to face the criticism that would come with signing Greenwood and see him as a player who could shift their fortunes on the pitch.
