FC Barcelona eyeing Timo Werner

The Catalans are looking at life after Luis Suarez already! Mundo Deportivo reports that FC Barcelona are stepping up their interest in RB Leipzig's Timo Werner and are eyeing a move worth €100 million next summer.

The Spanish giants feel that playing as a deputy to Luis Suarez for one year will make him ready to lead Barcelona's line for the foreseeable future.

Werner is reportedly tempted by Barcelona's offer and is expected to force through a move come next summer. The 21-year-old was one of Leipzig's best performers last season where his 21 league goals helped the newcomers to finish second in the Bundesliga.

Marco Asensio signs a new deal

The contract renewal season seems to be in full flow at the Bernabeu this month with AS reporting that Marco Asensio is the latest Real Madrid star to commit his future to the club.

He follows the likes of Raphael Varane, Marcelo, Isco, Dani Carvajal and Karim Benzema to sign long-term deals this month. Asensio has reportedly penned a six-year deal with Los Blancos until 2023 which also features an astonishing release clause of €500 million.

Italy calling for Mesut Ozil

Inter Milan confirm interest in Mesut Ozil

With no talks taking place between Mesut Ozil who is in his final year of contract and Arsenal, Ozil was linked with a move to Inter Milan.

Club president Eric Thohir has now confirmed the club's interest in the German superstar.

He said, "Ozil is definitely one of those players we are looking at. But the last January signings of Podolski and Shaqiri proves winter signings can fail to live up to expectations."

Inter are looking to sign a big name in January and can sign Ozil on a cut-price deal in the winter market.

Alex Sandro and Giorgio Chiellini are close to signing new deals with Juventus, Corriere Dello Sport understands. Sandro was linked with a move to Chelsea whereas Chiellini was also reportedly unhappy at the club.

Clarence Seedorf will soon be seen in League One

Paris Saint Germain in more trouble due to FFP

PSG had hoped to avoid any sanctions from the governing body for their extravagant deals to sign Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. The Parisians were confident that Mbappe's €160 million transfer would be counted in next year's transaction as a result of his one-year loan deal.

But UEFA has now revealed that Mbappe's fee will be included in the FFP bill immediately.

Uefa President Aleksander Ceferin had recently said, "We are not afraid to punish them. No one is above the law." This has opened the floodgates for the governing committee to sanction charges against PSG and hold them accountable for overspending.

It is said that the Dutchman arrived at the club's ground yesterday and took a tour of the training facilities along with the club chairman, Simon Carney in Manchester.
