La Liga
Lionel Messi speaks about his future
Uncertainty about Messi's future at FC Barcelona is increasing with each passing day with the Argentine closing in on the final year of his contract. But, he has refused to be drawn in to talks about his future as he maintains that he is solely focused on his side's next game.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner said, "I don’t know what’s going to happen in the coming years or how I’m going to feel. I live from day to day. I am not focused on the future.”

This statement may come as a bit of a blow to the Catalans who seemed pretty confident that Messi would sign a new deal.
Atletico Madrid willing to let Antoine Griezmann leave
In a surprising advancement in Antonie Griezmann's future, AS has claimed that Atletico Madrid have given the Frenchman the green light to leave next summer. The Colchoneros believe that speculations surrounding the Frenchman's future have prevented him from performing at the highest level with the 26-year-old scoring just two league goals this season. Manchester United are keen on signing the forward who has a €100 million release for a brief period in the summer.
Serie A
Gianluigi Donnarumma on PSG's watchlist
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Paris Saint-Germain want a long-term solution for their goalkeeper woes and have earmarked Donnarumma as the perfect candidate. The 18-year-old is said to be PSG's number one choice next summer. Donnarumma will cost over €100 million if AC Milan qualify for the Champions League next summer, as per the clause in his contract.
Patrick Schick dreaming of a move to Manchester United
AS Roma striker Patrick Schick has alerted Manchester United after revealing that he dreams to play for the Red Devils in the recent future. Schick joined Roma last season after failing to pass a medical with Juventus. The 21-year-old has often been compared to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and is a transfer target for a number of European top dogs.
Bundesliga
Naby Keita won't join Liverpool in January
It was rumoured that if RB Leipzig crashed out of the Champions League from the group stages, Liverpool would be eligible to sign the Guinean midfielder in January itself. But the club's sporting director, Ralf Rangnick has rejected any such claims. Rangnick told Leipziger Volkszeitung, "Even if we should not reach the knockout stages of Champions League, it would make no sense to allow Naby to join Liverpool earlier. We want to qualify for Europe again and we need Naby for that.”
Leon Goretzka agrees to personal terms with FC Barcelona
Mundo Deportivo reports that FC Barcelona have agreed upon personal terms with Leon Goretzka ahead of a potential January move. The Catalans feel that £47 million will be enough for Schalke 04 to let him leave in the winter market. The midfielder's representatives have already conducted a couple of meetings with Barcelona officials and are keen on completing the transfer as soon as possible.
Premier League
Diego Simeone is Everton's top target
Sky Sports can reveal that Everton owner Farhad Moshiri has shortlisted four managers to take over the reigns at Goodison Park and out of which, Atletico Madrid's Diego Simeone is Moshiri's favourite option. Simeone has a contract with Atletico until 2020 and it is difficult to believe that El Cholo will leave his club midway through a season. The other managers on Everton's radar are Sam Allardyce, Marco Silva and Wolves' Nuno Santo.
Danny Ings set to join Newcastle United
A series of injuries has affected Ings' Liverpool career so far but there may be a ray of hope soon for the 25-year-old. The Daily Mail reports that Newcastle United want the striker on loan in January with the Reds also keen on giving Ings regular game time. Ings has currently been playing for the Liverpool U23s and recently scored four goals in a match against Bristol City.
Ligue 1
PSG put up wingers' duo on sale
In order to comply with the Financial Fair Play regulations, Paris Saint-Germain have decided to offload the duo of Angel Di Maria and Lucas Moura in January. The Parisians hope to raise at least £70 million from their selling to avoid sanctions from the governing body. Moura is a target for a number of Premier League clubs whereas Inter Milan look interested in Di Maria.
Stefan Jovetic is a Southampton target
The Daily Mirror understands that the Southampton hierarchy has identified AS Monaco's Stefan Jovetic to solve their goalscoring issues. The Saints have struggled to get among the goals this season and are in a dire need of an out and out striker. The 27-year-old has the experience of playing in the Premier League as he played for Manchester City before leaving for greener pastures.
