Atletico have also reportedly offered Partey a new deal in an attempt to get him to stay in Spain. ()
Barcelona have made Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele available for swap deals this summer. Both players arrived at the LaLiga club in deals that exceeded £100m, but they appear to be surplus to requirements at Camp Nou. Barcelona have been linked with a move to bring Neymar back to the club, which would push both creative players further down the pecking order. ()
West Ham could be forced to sell Declan Rice to fund a squad overhaul in the summer. Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal are all said to be keen on the £70m-rated midfielder. The Hammers are thought to have little money to play with in the summer and by selling Rice it could provide them with necessary transfer funds. ()

Son Heung-min is set to miss a number of training sessions with Tottenham ahead of the Premier League’s possible return in June. The 27-year-old is completing national service in South Korea and will have to quarantine himself when he returns to the UK. ()
Manchester United are willing to sell two midfielders to fund a move for Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho. Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard have been mentioned as the two possible players who could be sold to bring Sancho to the club. Ed Woodward warned last Friday that the coronavirus pandemic would restrict transfer budgets and cashing in on players could help fund moves for the stars on United's summer wish list. ()
Borussia Dortmund’s sporting director is said to be ‘totally relaxed’ over the future of Sancho, however. The England winger has been linked with Man United, and other Premier League clubs, and Dortmund look to have a fight on their hands to keep hold of their star. ()
