Chelsea are monitoring Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's contract situation with Arsenal and could make a move for him.

Chelsea will pursue a striker this transfer window and also have Moussa Dembele and Timo Werner on their list. Chelsea view Aubameyang as a less expensive alternative.

Contract talks between Aubameyang and Arsenal have stalled. It is not clear if Arsenal would sell Aubameyang to a domestic rival. 

Paris Saint-Germain are attempting to sign Kylian Mbappe to a contract extension. Mbappe's deal expires in 2022 and Real Madrid have remained interested in him.

PSG and Mbappe have remained in regular contract.

Mbappe has wanted to see how the 19-20 season panned out before committing his future.

Signing Mbappe long-term has been a priority of Leonardo.

Chelsea are considering a loan deal for Philippe Coutinho as an alternative to Jadon Sancho. Chelsea fear Sancho will join Manchester United.

Coutinho is on loan at Bayern Munich from Barcelona. Bayern are unwilling to meet a £97 million buyout clause they agreed for Coutinho, who is already planning for life away from the club with his agent Kia Joorabchian sounding out possible suitors.

Barcelona would prefer to sell Coutinho. 

In addition to targeting high profile managers, the prospective owners of Newcastle United will be aggressive on the transfer market.

Newcastle has already been in touch with the agents of Dries Mertens and Edison Cavani. Willian is another target for Newcastle.

The prospective owners of Newcastle United will pursue a high-profile manager with Massimiliano Allegri and Mauricio Pochettino identified as candidates.

Paperwork is being finalized for the sale of Newcastle from Mike Ashley to PCP Capital Partners, which is a Saudi-backed consortium. 

Rafael Benitez and Lucien Favre are also considered candidates, though they already have jobs.

To improve their chances of attracting a top-level manager, the owners will have to show their ambitions of recruiting big players.

Alphonso Davies has agreed to a contract extension with Bayern Munich through 2025.

Davies joined Bayern from Vancouver in 2018.

"I am very happy," he told the club's website. "FC Bayern is one of the best clubs in the world, and for me it's a dream come true to play here. I felt happy from day one.

"I want to win as many titles as possible with this club. The mentality of always wanting to win everything is in FC Bayern's DNA."

Teams will not get relegated from the Premier League is the season is unable to resume, according to Brighton owner Tony Bloom.

Premier League sides met on Friday to discuss a plan to restart the season, though all possibilities are hypothetical due to the unpredictability of the pandemic.

"You may get a title winner, obviously Liverpool deserve it, you may use that criteria for European qualification, but I do not see how anyone can vote for that, certainly the percent needed for teams to get relegated," said Bloom.

Bloom also discussed a plan in which teams would be ranked by their points-per-match.

"I don't foresee a situation, if the season's not played out, that teams will get relegated on a points-per-game basis.

"I just don't think it's fathomable that a team which is not allowed to play out the season may lose out on 0.2 points based on this system, and also it does not take into account the strength of the team you have not played."

Liga MX will suspend promotion and relegation to and from the top division for 5 years.

The second division will become a developmental league for young Mexican players, with a limit on the number of players over the age of 23.

The second division has been reduced from 18 teams down to 12 teams in recent years.

The move to end promotion and relegation also fueled further rumors of Liga MX and MLS working together to form one league. 

Manchester United remain interested in Jack Grealish despite his COVID-19 lockdown break.

Grealish, 24, apologized for attending a friend's party.

Aston Villa are likely to demand upwards of £60 million for Grealish, who is under contract until 2023.

While United also have interest in James Maddison, there is a feeling that Grealish is more attainable.
