Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Kylian Mbappé wants Achraf Hakimi to join him at Real Madrid

Lionel Messi is currently favouring the idea of leaving Paris Saint-Germain in the summer rather than extending his contract.

L'Equipe report the World Cup winner, who is out of contract at the end of the season, was thinking about staying on after the tournament in Qatar but has had a change of heart.

Inter have offered an update on striker Romelu Lukaku and have insisted they are not in talks currently with his agent about his future, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

Bayern Munich are interested in signing Dani Ceballos from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, according to Relevo.

Ceballos is out of contract at the end of the season and his priority is to remain at the Bernabeu, but he also wants to be a regular in a team that is competing for titles.

Chelsea are in talks with Palmeiras regarding a loan move for new signing Andrey Santos.

However, talks have stalled over the length of the deal. Chelsea want Santos back in time for next season but Palmeiras are hoping to keep him until the end of the year, according to the Evening Standard.

West Ham could move for Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay in the summer as they look for a replacement for Declan Rice.

Football Insider report that Rice is expected to leave the Hammers at the end of the season, meaning McTominay could arrive in a £25 million deal.

Former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is being lined up to replace David Moyes at West Ham, according to the Daily Mail.

The Hammers are planning on keeping Moyes for the team's next match against Nottingham Forest, but Benitez is in line to take the job and wants to take over at West Ham.

Paris Saint-Germain are considering putting together a statement transfer window in the summer in order to refresh the club's squad, according to L'Equipe.

Football Advisor Luis Campos has already identified Randal Kolo Muani, Marcus Thuram and midfielder Manu Kone as players they wish to bring in.

According to Spanish outlet AS, Real Madrid have been alerted to Juventus' need to sell Dusan Vlahovic and subsequent interest from Manchester United.

Making a serious approach for the Serbian hinges on what Real decide to do with Karim Benzema at the end of the season and if they move in once more for either Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe, but they are ready to make a move for Vlahovic who could be available for sale.

Newcastle United are likely to miss out on signing RB Salzburg midfielder Luka Sucic according to Football Transfers.

Lazio's 18-year-old midfielder Luka Romero is all set to sign a new long-term deal with the club according to The Athletic.

The teenager is currently wanted by several top European clubs and the Italian club will reportedly include a €100million release clause in his new contract.

Arsenal are eyeing a move for Montpellier forward Elye Wahi next season according to Telefoot.

Other than the Gunners, Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Dortmund are also keen on signing the player.

According to reports on Football Espana, French superstar Kylian Mbappé is keen on a move to Real Madrid this summer, and he wants his PSG team-mate Achraf Hakimi to join him.

The news follows speculation that Mbappé could leave PSG in the summer due to a termination clause in his contract. The forward is reportedly already planning for life in the Spanish capital, and the man who helped lead Morocco to a 2022 World Cup semi-final may be a part of those plans.

With Madrid seeking a new right-back, and having been linked with Hakimi previously, it seems as though a joint swoop may be on the cards.

Manchester United are reportedly confident that they can secure £25 million for midfielder Scott McTominay this summer. According to Football Insider, the club are ready to sell the 26-year-old in order to free up funds for manager Erik Ten Hag.

McTominay has made 194 appearances for the Red Devils during his six years at the club, scoring 18 times and assisting a further 5 goals.

The 26-year-old's current contract runs until 2025, with an option to extend it for a further year. Given that lengthy timeframe, it's hardly surprising that United are keen to hold out for a decent fee.

Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Robert De Zerbi has urged the club's owner Tony Bloom to extend Adam Lallana's contract, according to The Athletic.

Lallana recently had surgery for a hamstring injury that could keep him out for the rest of the season. With his current contract up in the summer, the 34-year-old's future is uncertain.

"I want Lallana with me for sure, 100 per cent," said De Zerbi. "I've already spoken with Tony and told him to extend his contract."

American hedge fund Elliott Management have reportedly offered financial backing to the Glazer family that would allow them to remain as Manchester United owners, according to ESPN.

There is huge animosity towards the Glazers amongst large sections of the United fanbase, so this will not be welcome news to many. And with bids already submitted from British businessperson Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thai, chairman of the Qatar Islamic Bank, there is firm interest from elsewhere.

The future of Manchester United's ownership is still up in the air, but this potential investment seems to suggest that the Glazers are still in the mix.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Brazilian left-back Marcelo is exploring a variety of transfer options, with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr one of the clubs rumoured to be interested in signing the 34-year-old.

He's available on a free transfer having just had his contract with Greek side Olympiacos terminated after only five months. No talks are ongoing at this stage, but the Brazilian will be keen to secure a move sooner rather than later.
