Barcelona hopes to raise €100 million ($109 million) to improve their roster this summer.

Barcelona is seeking two young full backs and a central midfielder.

Arsenal's Hector Bellerin and Atleti's Theo Hernandez are the top candidates for the left.

Philippe Coutinho and Marco Verratti are candidates for Barcelona's midfield.

Even though Zinedine Zidane has asked Real Madrid to find a buyer for James Rodriguez, the Colombian continues to fight for a future with the club.

The emergence of Marco Asensio has further reduced the odds of James staying with Madrid.

James has scored nine times to go with 13 assists in just 1,583 minutes, proving to be very productive.

James joined Madrid from Monaco in 2014 following an excellent World Cup.

When Martin Odegaard was deciding where to sign late in 2014, he narrowed his options to Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

"We recommended that he stayed there for at least one more year, because the club thought that he wasn’t ready yet," revealed Björn Andersson, Bayern’s scout in Scandinavia.

Andersson said Odegaard may need a new start somewhere else.

Odegaard is still only 18 and is under contract at Real Madrid until 2018 even though he verbally agreed to a three-year extension.

Robert Pires is predicting that Kylian Mbappe will sign with Arsenal.

Pires is a club legend and current assistant.

Mbappe is considered one of the best teenage talents in the world. Mbappe has elicited comparisons to Thierry Henry.

"The comparison is unnecessary, he's not ready to be compared to Thierry," Pires told Bwin. "Mbappe is a very similar player but to compare the two players would be unfair.

"I hope that Kylian can follow in the footsteps of Thierry Henry, he has the same profile as Thierry -- quick, strong and a great finisher -- but he's very young so I would hold off on comparisons just yet."

Mbappe could command a nine-figure transfer fee, which would be difficult for Arsenal to afford.

Pires said: "I do think Arsenal will sign him. The problem is how much. Mbappe has the potential to play for Arsenal and Wenger is the right manager to manage him. Monaco and Arsenal are very similar clubs, so it won't be much of a transition."

Barcelona have interest in signing center back Davinson Sanchez of Ajax.

Sanchez is a 20-year-old Colombian international. 

Ajax have set a fee of €25 million for Sanchez. Barcelona sses Sanchez as a potential partner for Samuel Umtiti long-term.

According to a report from Spanish radio, Barcelona are prepared to offer Jordi Alba on loan to Atletico Madrid in order to sign Theo Hernandez.

Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Marseille have interest in Theo, who is one of the game's best young left backs.

Theo has a release clause of €24 million. Barcelona are prepared to meet that clause and offer Alba as an add-on.

Bayern Munich have triggered an option to sign Kingsley Coman from Juventus permanently.

Coman is in his second season of a two-year loan with Bayern. Coman will sign a contract until 2020.

"He is a player with huge potential," Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said. "We're convinced that he will be of great help to us in the coming years."

Bayern's option for Coman was just €21 million. 

While Coman hasn't performed as well under Carlo Ancelotti as he did in his first season under Pep Guardiola, he remains one of the most talented young players in the game.

Pep Guardiola has said Manchester City is not interested in buying Dele Alli from Tottenham Hotspur.

Xavi said in an interview Guardiola would be interested in him but later denied even giving the interview.

Mauricio Pochettino was unhappy by the talk, accusing Xavi of doing City's dirty work and trying to "destroy" his side's focus.

"Mauricio Pochettino has to stay calm. Dele Alli will be his player next season, I am pretty sure about that. We don't want him," said Guardiola.

"He is a fantastic player, [a] good, new, English footballer. He's a fighter. He's good. He's someone who attacks the box and is one of the most fantastic players I have ever seen in my life. But Manchester City doesn't want Dele Alli."

Jose Mourinho is targeting Willian as he rebuilds the midfield of Manchester United.

Mourinho wants to add at least four new signings for 2017.

Willian signed for Chelsea in 2013 from Anzhi Makhachkala for £32 million.

Chelsea rebuffed interest in Willian from the Chinese Super League in January and the club are in a strong position with the player after securing him to a new four-year contract last July.

Jürgen Klopp has said Liverpool will be a more attractive proposition to transfer targets this summer. Klopp added that positive talks have already taken place.

The Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk, Bayer Leverkusen winger Julian Brandt and Leipzig midfielder Naby Keïta are among those on Klopp’s wishlist.

“I would say together with Tottenham the average age of the team is such that there’s still a lot to come. They are obviously a few steps ahead but they have played longer together. We feel in a good way and, if a player wants to be part of this way, then it’s easier to make this decision this year than last year. But actually not a lot of players told me last year: ‘I don’t want to be part of this, but let me see what happens next year and then we can talk again.’ It’s more my feeling than anything I could say about what a player thinks. But the talks we’ve had so far are very positive. That doesn’t mean it will all work out but they are really positive and they all see the progress. That’s good.”

Liverpool has an excellent chance of qualifying for the Champions League next season.
