Earlier this week, reports emerging from Europe claimed that Manchester City star, Leroy Sane, was being targeted by City's arch-rivals, Manchester United. The Red Devils have been in need of a top-quality winger for a while now, and Sane perfectly fits the bill.

The German forward has had to fight for his place in City's starting 11 this season, making just 7 starts across all competitions. Despite the circumstances, last month, City's manager, Pep Guardiola, revealed that the club had begun negotiations with Sane over a potential new contract.

After last week's rumours began to spread like a forest fire, Sane finally opened up and publicly addressed the speculation, dismissing it straight away. According to reports from SkySports, Sane said:

"That won't happen. That won't happen at all. I am really happy here and I'm on the right side."

The 22-year-old is one of the brightest prospects in the Premier League and is currently on contract at City until 2021.

21-year-old Leon Bailey has had an extremely promising start to his career, and has naturally attracted the attention of some of the biggest clubs in the world.

Now, according to reports from The Daily Express, the Bayer Leverkusen star has reportedly revealed that he has already rejected the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City, as he is keen on taking it slow and developing as well as possible.

Bailey reportedly said:

“Chelsea have been interested in me since I was maybe 14 or 15, but as a young player you want to start on a normal level and not just go there because of the name of the club,” Bailey told FourFourTwo magazine.

“Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool – a lot of clubs were interested. But the most important thing as a pro is taking things a step at a time and not rushing to the top too quickly. Because once you get there, where do you go next?”

“My focus isn’t really on moving anywhere yet. I’m just about what’s happening right now rather than what could happen in the future. I’m still learning.”

Despite multiple efforts from Paris Saint-Germain, French midfielder, Adrien Rabiot, has reportedly refused to sign a new contract and is set to leave the club as a free agent at the end of the ongoing season.

As such, PSG's best alternative would be to sell Rabiot in the winter transfer window, with several European giants believed to be interested.

Until recently, it was believed that Barcelona were favourites to sign him. However, according to reports from The Sun, Liverpool have reportedly made a "powerful offer" to sign the 23-year-old, but also face stiff competition from the likes of Manchester City, Juventus and AC Milan.

The report also claims that Rabiot could move to Liverpool in a swap deal, which could see Fabinho go the other way.
