Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's latest transfer news and rumours roundup. Today's stories feature the latest update on some of the major happenings in world football which may change the complexion of a few clubs. So let's head right in and take a look at the major happenings across Europe that made headlines on November 6, 2017:
Premier League
Liverpool monitoring David Silva
Good folks at the Daily Express have reported that Liverpool are looking at the option of making a move for Manchester City's David Silva next summer. The Spaniard has a contract until 2019 with City but has been reluctant to sign an extension.
Pep Guardiola wants to hand a 12-month extension to the 31-year-old but the playmaker is said to be looking at all the options before committing. Liverpool fear losing Emre Can soon and believes that signing an experienced midfielder in the form of David Silva can prove to be a perfect short-term solution.
David Luiz's future uncertain with the Blues
The Brazilian defender, David Luiz has reportedly seen his Chelsea career being under serious doubt after getting into a row with manager Antonio Conte.
The Times understands that Luiz questioned Conte's tactics after the 3-0 defeat against AS Roma in the Champions League. Luiz trained alone yesterday and was left out of the squad for the home game against Manchester United.
Serie A
Milan clubs set to battle it out for Javier Pastore
Mercato365 claims that AC Milan and Inter Milan will fight it out in January for signing the out-of-favour PSG midfielder Javier Pastore. The Argentine is no more a force to reckon with at the Parc Des Princes and is eyeing a move away from Paris.
Inter Milan are reportedly leading the race for the £35 million-rated Pastore but AC Milan are not much behind in the race.
Antonio Conte dismisses AC Milan rumours
Despite being under immense pressure at Chelsea, Antonio Conte has revealed that he is happy in London and is not currently thinking of moving back to Italy with AC Milan. The Rossoneri wanted Conte to replace Vincenzo Montella who is struggling at the moment with Milan reeling at the eighth position.
Talking to Sky Sport Italia, Conte revealed, "Milan? Leave it out. We’re trying to stay concentrated because it’s a tough run from here to the end of the season."
Bundesliga
Bayern Munich looking for a backup option for Robert Lewandowski
The Bavarians are aware of the club's reliance on striker Robert Lewandowski and are actively looking to bring in another striker in the winter transfer market. But the club CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has accepted that finding the right option in January will be a tough ask.
Speaking to Sky Germany, Rummenigge said, "The possibilities will be limited. If you have a good player, you will not give it up or only for horrendous money. But we are hopeful of completing our requirement."
Leon Goretzka agrees on personal terms with FC Barcelona
Mundo Deportivo reports that FC Barcelona have agreed to 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.
La Liga
FC Barcelona failed in an attempt to sign Riyad Mahrez
It has come to the fore that FC Barcelona and AS Roma made substantial offers for Leicester City playmaker Riyad Mahrez but to no avail. Gazzetta Dello Sport has claimed that the Foxes rejected every offer that came in their way for Mahrez as it did not match their valuation of £50 million.
Barcelona were keen on landing the Algerian to improve their bench strength but could not tempt the Leicester management to let him come to La Liga.
Real Betis want Jack Wilshere
After trying their luck last summer, Real Betis are set to return with an approach for Arsenal's Jack Wilshere. The midfielder is in the final year of his contract and there have been no talks scheduled for a renewal.
Wilshere is unsure about his future with the Gunners and is looking at other options. Betis can provide him a new challenge in a new country with the La Liga side keen on taking the 25-year-old on board.
Rest of the world
Andrea Pirlo has retired from football
The Italian legend has just released a statement on Twitter confirming his retirement from football. Pirlo is currently playing for New York City in the MLS and is now all set to play his last game in a professional league.
Claude Makelele leaves Swansea City
Assistant coach at Swansea City, Claude Makelele has today resigned from his post. Makelele joined Swansea to assist Paul Clement in January but has now left his role as his number two to take up the managerial job at Belgian club, K.A.S Eupen.
The Belgian side is currently bottom of their league and have won just two of their 14 league matches. This is the Frenchman's second stint as a manager - he coached Ligue 1 club, Bastia for five and a half months in 2014.
