Good evening and welcome to Sportskeeda's latest transfer news and rumours roundup. Despite the season now entering its business end, top clubs are also keeping their eyes open on potential transfer targets.
And as always, there are stories which make headlines irrespective of the transfer window being open or shut. Let's take a look at all the major transfer happenings that made headlines on March 5, 2018:
La Liga
Manchester United to make a €60 million bid for Raphael Varane
Jose Mourinho has reportedly instructed the United board to make Raphael Varane their top summer priority. The Special One is looking for a central defender in the summer and has identified a familiar face. It was Mourinho who signed Varane and gave him his debut at Madrid.
Diario Gol claims that Real Madrid can be tempted to sell the Frenchman if an offer of €60 million is put on the table. Los Blancos also have an ulterior motive in mind - they believe that the transfer of Varane to United will help them get their hands on David De Gea in return.
Ousmane Dembele happy at FC Barcelona
According to Don Balon, Ousmane Dembele is happy in Barcelona and is not looking for a move away from Camp Nou. A rough start coupled with injuries has led him to be linked with the likes of Arsenal and other Premier League sides. But the youngster is ready to fight for his place in the team and is looking to make the most of his time with the Catalans.

Liverpool eyeing Suso
Jurgen Klopp's side is now being linked with a move to bring back one of the club's former players in the summer. It is reported that Liverpool are interested in re-signing Suso at the end of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur looking at Jonathan Tah
Spurs are increasingly worried about Toby Alderweireld's future who is expected to leave this summer. The Belgian has not yet agreed to a new deal due to the differences over wages between the player and the club.
The Mirror reports that Mauricio Pochettino is eyeing Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah as a direct replacement for Alderweireld. Spurs have scouted Tah on numerous occasions this season with the young German defender being valued at around £35 million.
Premier League

Dybala is reportedly not on good terms with the club authorities at the moment and may look for a move in the summer. The Red Devils remain the front-runners to sign him at the moment. PSG are also linked with him as the Parisians see Dybala as a potential replacement for Neymar if the Brazilian decides to join Real Madrid.
Everton eyeing a move for Arsene Wenger
After four back to back defeats, Arsene Wenger is on borrowed time at the Emirates. He is finally expected to get the sack this summer. According to the Daily Star, Everton are preparing a shock move to keep Wenger in England by offering him the manager's role at Goodison Park.

Rest of the world
Neymar will not be joining Real Madrid
This is the belief of Paris Saint-Germain's sporting director Antero Henrique. He has refuted claims of the Brazilian looking for a move to Real Madrid at the end of the current campaign. Neymar moved to PSG last summer at a record transfer fee of €222 million but has been incessantly linked with Real Madrid.
Henrique was quoted by Goal.com as saying, "Obviously, he's going to stay with PSG next year. His father said that two or three days ago: he’s happy in Paris. His project is to stay here. He’s here to play and score goals."
Arsenal failed with a January bid for Malcom
The Mirror (original report by Bild) has claimed that Arsenal had made a £37.5 million offer for Bordeaux's Malcom in the January transfer window. But the Gunners missed out on the talented winger's signing because of the reluctance of the French club. Malcom has long been linked with Arsenal and Bayern Munich and is expected to move in the summer.
