Gonzalo Higuain's agent claims he remains happy at Napoli despite growing interest from Arsenal and Liverpool.

Higuain was strongly linked to a move this past summer following Napoli's inability to qualify for the Champions League.

And after six games of the new season Higuain's agent and brother, Nicolas, claims he's settled in Naples.

"He's happy with (Maurizio) Sarri," Higuain told Radio Crc.

"Everyone wants to play football, and the important thing is that he's calm, he's realised what Sarri wants and now he just has to remain calm and focused.

"It's been a major change and he's responding well to the demands of the coach. Gonzalo is doing the maximum with Sarri."

Wayne Rooney denies making a transfer request to Manchester United in 2013.

Rooney did admit, however, he discussed a potential exit with Alex Ferguson.

Ferguson had announced in October 2010 that Rooney had expressed a desire to leave the club only for the forward to commit to a new five-year contract later that month, but there were further issues in Ferguson's final season and the United boss told the media in May 2013: "He has asked for a transfer."

Speaking in the forthcoming BBC documentary "Rooney: The Man Behind the Goals," the England international has stressed that he did not formally request a move but said he did tell the manager he was unhappy after finding himself behind Robin van Persie in the pecking order in the 2012-13 season.

Rooney said: "I went in to see him and just said, 'If you are not going to play me then it might be better for me to move on.'

"Then, all of a sudden, it was all over the press that I had put a transfer request in, which I never did. I don't know what happened, why that came out that way."

Neymar's agent encouraged him to use tax havens and also end his career with Real Madrid.

Neymar has reportedly evaded 63 million reals in Brazil taxes (almost $16 million) between 2011 and 2013, when he was still a player with Brazilian club Santos.

"Take your money, send everything to tax havens, legally, of course," Wagner Ribeiro wrote in a letter addressed to Neymar's father, Neymar Sr. "This way you will stop paying taxes in Brazil! Close your businesses, the Institute of Praia Grande, and go enjoy your life on Mediterranean beaches. You and your family.

"But leave Neymar to play a few more years ... and end his career in Europe, preferably at Real Madrid."

Robert Lewandowski's agent rejected the possibility of his client being interested in going to Manchester, but he did leave the door open to playing for one of Spain's two giant clubs.

“Manchester? It always rains there," said Cezary Kucharski. "Barcelona or Madrid? They are nice places, and in Spain there is the best atmosphere for playing football.”

Lewandowski's current contract with Bayern Munich runs until 2019.

Liverpool is struggling and Neymar believes Coutinho fits Barcelona's style of play.

Speaking at a publicity event, Neymar said: "I see many Brazilian players with quality today.

"But one that I like and I think could play here is Coutinho. He has the style of Barcelona."

Barcelona previously did business with Liverpool when they bought Luis Suarez.

Jurgen Klopp wants to determine his chances of being hired by Bayern Munich before considering a move to the Premier League.

Klopp has been linked to Liverpool and Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola is in the final season of his current deal with Bayern and has been mentioned as a strong candidate for Manchester City.

"It doesn't have to be an absolute top club. There are other good projects that are exciting, [teams] who need help,' he told Bild.

"I inform, read and meet a lot of people - there are ordinary little things that are great fun. I miss nothing [from football] currently.

"I don't know where I'll be heading to,' he continued. 'But right now, that's not important for me.

"I know that if I will have the right feeling it will be a wonderful next chapter. You will see what happens and I find it exciting right now not knowing what will happen next."

David De Gea has signed a new four-year contract with Manchester United, ending a saga in which he nearly was sold to Real Madrid.

United stated that De Gea’s new contract has an option of a further 12 months. His salary will be raised by at least £150,000 a week to £200,000 a week, with De Gea having been on £40,000 a week ever since he moved to Old Trafford in the summer 2011.

It is unclear whether there's a release clause Real Madrid could trigger next summer to revive his transfer.

De Gea had been set on joining Real Madrid to play in his hometown.

“I am delighted to be starting this new chapter in my United career,” said De Gea in an official statement. “I have always enjoyed playing with these great players in front of our fantastic fans. Manchester United is a special club and Old Trafford is an ideal place for me to continue to develop my career. I’m looking forward to putting a difficult summer behind me and concentrating on working hard to improve and help my teammates to be successful.”

Juventus and Barcelona have already agreed upon a January transfer involving Paul Pogba, according to a report out of Spain.

Barcelona is under a transfer ban until January.

The report indicates Pogba has always wanted to join Barcelona.

Juventus received offers this summer of over €100 million for Pogba with Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea leading the interest.

Real Madrid has ruled out acquiring David De Gea in January and Florentino Perez even believes a new contract could be reached between the keeper and Manchester United.

De Gea was set to be sold to Real Madrid at the end of the summer transfer window, but the two sides were unable to submit the paperwork in time.

"We will certainly not sign De Gea in January," Perez told Spanish radio station Cadena Cope.

Perez suggested that De Gea would agree an extension, saying: "It's difficult that a player will remain a year without playing. De Gea has to do what is best for his career.

"I have not spoken to him, not now and not on the 31st [transfer deadline day]. [Real general director] Jose Angel Sanchez did."

Cristiano Ronaldo isn't guaranteed to remain at Real Madrid, but the club says Paris Saint-Germain would have to meet his release clause to acquire him.

Ronaldo has three seasons remaining on his contract at Real Madrid.

“He has a contract and we want him to stay, but nothing in life is certain,” said Florentino Perez. “Today, Real Madrid without Cristiano Ronaldo, it is impossible. He is the best player in the world and the most emblematic.

“If PSG want him, it is very easy. If they pay the ($1.1 billion) buyout clause, they will have him."
