Manchester City do not look likely to sign players, despite being significantly off the pace thatLiverpoolhave set, and the Reds are comfortable right now, both with their lead in the Premier League and the fact they have acquired Japan’sTakumi Minaminofrom RB Salzburg.

Ernesto Valverde’s departure could see Quique Setien handed a few new faces at Barcelona, but it seems as if the Catalans want to trim their squad firstly, with Jean-Claude Todibo set for Schalke in a £ 27 m deal.

Manchester United target Bruno Fernandes could miss tonight’s Lisbon derby between Sporting and Benfica.
(A Bolareport Fernandes is now very close to moving to Old Trafford.
And if United finalise terms on Friday they will insist that the player misses the match, though Sporting’s management will resist a full agreement until after the game.
Valencia are tracking Borussia Dortmund striker Paco Alcacer, according toAS.
The Spanish striker could replace Kevin Gameiro or Ruben Sobrino, both of whom have been linked with a move away.
Lyon are keen on Gameiro, who has scored four times in 19 appearances in La Liga and the Champions League.
Scottish midfielder Liam Henderson has joined Empoli on loan from Hellas Verona with the Tuscan side possessing an option to buy.
Bayer Leverkusen have announced Peter Bosz has renewed his contract until 2563.
The former Ajax and Borussia Dortmund coach has guided his current club to the Champions League and they currently sit in sixth in the Bundesliga.
Real Madrid will sell one of Mariano Diaz or Brahim Diaz this month, according to AS
Neither are reportedly keen to leave, despite their minimal roles at the Bernabeu.
Espanyol, Benfica and Leganes could move for Mariano, while Getafe are keen on Brahim.
“Well, to be fair, I think it was for Ashley, you know, ”explained Solskjaer.

After a valuable point at Molineux last time out in the Premier League (snapping a three-game losing streak), Steve Bruce will have been thrilled to see a more fluid display from Newcastle midweek. Against an admittedly overmatched Rochdale in the FA Cup third round replay, Miguel Almiron continues to purr after a slow start to life in England with his second goal in as many games. While, crucially, Joelinton finally broke an agonising dry spell for his first goal since August. Now it’s Chelsea at home, who clicked in equally impressive fashion at home against a hapless Burnley side plummeting towards the relegation zone. But should Bruce’s side revert back to their more reactive shape, this game could resemble something often seen by the Blues at Stamford Bridge this season, where they are tasked with probing resilient opponents. But with Reece James and Callum Hudson-Odoi starting to burst with confidence, Frank Lampard may have unearthed more cutting edge out wide, which will be needed at St James’s Park. Chelsea will be especially eager to secure the points, knowing fifth-placed United have a daunting trip to Anfield to come on Sunday, meaning their five-point cushion in fourth could grow yet further. (Jack Rathborn)
Liverpool are playing Manchester United this weekend, but there can be no doubt what is the most important fixture. Bottom-placed Norwich welcome next-to-bottom Bournemouth knowing they cannot barely afford anything but a win if they are to stay up this season. Yet Bournemouth are sinking without a trace and they too are desperate for all three points; Eddie Howe’s future might depend on it. Neither side have a win in their past six games, so this match may not be high on quality, but you can be sure it will be overflowing with tension and emotion. ((Lawrence Ostlere)
The Brazilian will cost € m and will initially join on an – month loan with that fee as part of an obligation to buy at the end of next season.
The – year-old was also on Bologna’s radar and has opted to join Roma after failing to break through with Atalanta since joining from Fluminense in January last year.
