Marco Reus insists his future at Borussia Dortmund is the last of his concerns amid growing reports Bayern Munich are to activate a buy-out clause in his contract and sign him next summer.

Reus is contracted to Dortmund until 2017, but he could leave for a predetermined sum as Mario Götze did in 2013.

"Right now there is a lot of talk about my future," he wrote. "There is a lot of speculation and a lot being written, which is why I just wanted to tell you that at the moment other people seem to be giving are more consideration to my future than I am." 

One of the latest reports was that Reus was going to meet with Bayern bosses this weekend to settle on terms.

"The only thing that is definitely correct is that we are on the way to Munich to collect points with Dortmund," Reus added. "Hopefully afterwards we will return home with three points for Dortmund."

Napoli has dismissed reports that they have interest in a €12.5 million transfer for Mario Balotelli.

Balotelli went from A.C. Milan to Liverpool this past summer, but he's scored just twice so far.

"They're speaking about Balotelli in Spain, England and Italy but it's not a possibility. Nothing of what has been said is true," said sporting director Riccardo Bigon.

"It's not a feasible line. I don't think this is a real story, though the fact is that Mario remains a great player.

"The boy has just been bought by Liverpool and given what their coach is saying, he's an investment for the future of the club.

"We can only wish Mario all the best on his English adventure."

Chelsea is interested in making a €30 million move for Gerard Piqué of Barcelona.

The Blues are looking to improve their central defense and would by buying low on Piqué, who has struggled with injuries.

Manchester United is also interested in signing Piqué, who played for the club before returning to Barça.

Piqué would be reluctant to leave Barça, while the club would bt unable to acquire a replacement due to UEFA sanctions.

Gonçalo Guedes has become one of the most highly coveted palayers coming through the Primeira Liga of Portugal.

Valencia, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are all interested in Guedes, according to A Bola.

Guedes has been in the Benfica youth system since the age of 9 and was recently called-up to the senior side at the age of 17.

Guedes release clause is currently set at €30 million but the club is expected to push hard for a contract renewal.

Manchester United is preparing a £90 million bid to Real Madrid for Gareth Bale, according to a report from the Daily Star.

Bale would command wages of up to £300,000 per week.

Real Madrid has been playing well in the absence of Bale.

Louis van Gaal spent over £150 million in the summer, but he has been given the go-ahead to spend big again next year. 

Bale was acquired from Tottenham in 2013 for £80 million.

Manchester City has ramped up their pursuit of Ross Barkley of Everton, believing a €50.75 million offer could beat out Chelsea.

Manuel Pellegrini had Barkley scouted on his return to the Toffees' first team during the recent 3-0 win over Aston Villa.

Barkley signed a new four-year contract with Everton in July.

City likes the upside of Barkley, plus he would help boost their 'homegrown' quota.

Toronto FC sold Doneil Henry to a club in Cyprus at the beginning of the season, making him technically on loan back to the club throughout the season.

Henry is an academy product and had been one of their most promising young players at 21.

TFC general manager Tim Bezbatchenko explained the reason the decision was not made public before Thursday: “In our position, the player wasn’t leaving; there was nothing changing about the player budget [and] there was even a chance he might be here next year. We thought it would be more of a distraction, more than anything.” 

David de Gea has yet to sign a new deal at Manchester United, but he insists he's happy with the club amid reports linking him to Real Madrid.

De Gea told Kicker: “[They are] Just rumours. I'm happy here.”

United currently sits sixth in the Premier League as Louis van Gaal implements his system.

"Starting problems are quite normal under a new coach with a complete new concept,” De Gea insisted.

“That's a process and Van Gaal always says that we will improve, but it takes time. But without a doubt, United have to reach the Champions League again."

Real Madrid has been linked to a move for Raheem Sterling, but Carlo Ancelotti has denied that the club has interest in the 19-year-old Liverpool forward.

Ancelotti said: “Sterling is a player of great quality, certainly one of the best in Europe – but we already have extraordinary talent here.

“To think of another striker for the Real Madrid attack is really extremely difficult. It’s clear that Sterling is not in our plans,” he added.

Real Madrid plays Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Aston Villa is holding out for a £12 million transfer from Manchester United for Ron Vlaar.

Vlaar was one of United manager Louis van Gaal's key defenders during the 2014 World Cup with the Netherlands.

Vlaar has already agreed upon personal terms with United on a provisional basis.

Vlaar's contract is up at the end of the season when he would be available on a free transfer.

United have appeared to lack leadership and organisation in defence following the departures of senior defenders Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra in the summer.

Ryan Shawcross of Stoke City is another option for United if they're unable to acquire Vlaar in January.
