Manchester United has activated their one-year extension on the contract of David De Gea.

De Gea is now under contract until 2020.

De Gea would have been free to talk to other clubs had they not triggered their clause.

At 28, De Gea could still have a future away from United, presumably in his native Spain.

Barcelona could look to replace Rafinha during the January transfer window.

Rafinha will undergo surgery next week for his injured ACL.

"It's something we have to analyse," Valverde said when asked if the club would look to sign a replacement for Rafinha in January. "The injury came as a surprise, because of how it happened. He was able to finish the game against Atletico, then on Sunday [we find out the extent of the problem].

"We will have to look at everything. The January transfer window is close, so we will have to look at the circumstances and see what we do."

Sources have confirmed to ESPN FC that Paris Saint-Germain's Adrien Rabiot and Ajax's Frenkie de Jong are both being considered, while Manchester United's Paul Pogba has split opinion at the club.

Ousmane Dembele has not told Barcelona that he wants to leave in January and the club have no plans to sell him.

Dembele cost €145 million from Borussia Dortmund last year and has been in and out of Barcelona's lineup.

Barca officials met Dembele's agents during the international break, but general manager Pep Segura said it was a routine meeting.

Ernesto Valverde has called the 21-year-old "a huge talent who brings qualities which no-one else can."

Jose Mourinho is revisiting his interest in Axel Witsel of Borussia Dortmund.

Mourinho told reporters on Friday that he had travelled to Brussels for the UEFA Nations League clash with Iceland in order to monitor Romelu Lukaku's fitness following a hamstring injury. 

Mourinho has been a long-term admirer of Witsel and had been keen to sign the former Benfica and Zenit St Petersburg player last summer.

United instead spent £52 million to sign Fred from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Eden Hazard said it is "impossible" for him to leave Chelsea in January, but is keeping his options open for the summer.

Chelsea are desperate to sign Hazard to an extension as he enters the final season of his contract. The club is prepared to make him the richest player in club history.

Hazard said in September that a move to Real Madrid was his "dream."

"Impossible. I don't see myself leaving in January, for the club, for the fans," said Hazard about leaving Chelsea for Real Madrid in January.

"It's possible [that he could leave in the summer], as I repeat every time, but it's also possible I stay at Chelsea for my whole career.

"For the moment, as I have already said, I'm focusing on Chelsea this year. I have a year on my contract after this year. If there is no contract extension, of course [he would be sold]."

The LA Galaxy have denied reports that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has accepted an offer to join AC Milan.

Ibrahimovic signed a two-year contract with the Galaxy in March that won't expire until December 2019.

Ibrahimovic scored 22 goals in 27 MLS games in 2018 but failed to lead the team to the MLS Cup Playoffs in what was a disappointing first season at the club.

Ibrahimovic scored 56 goals in 85 games during his time with Milan.

Barcelona are scouting potential replacements for Luis Suarez and have scouted Krzysztof Piatek, Nicolas Pepe and Luka Jovic this season.

Suarez remains a key figure with Barcelona but turns 32 in January and the club is thin at striker.

Suarez, who has nine goals this season, is relaxed about the club's plans to bring in another forward.

Bayern Munich is unlikely to exercise their option to make their loan agreement for James Rodriguez into a permanent transfer.

James could join Bayern for €42 million.

James is out for the next few weeks with a ligament injury, but has struggled for playing time and is reportedly not getting along with Niko Kovac.

Marko Arnautovic is prepared to leave West Ham in order to achieve his dream of playing in the Champions League.

Arnautovic moved from Stoke to West Ham for £25 million in 2017.

Arnautovic is represented by his brother Danijel.

“I’m 29, so that’s the best age,” he told the Austrian newspaper Kurier. “It’s clear that I want to compete with the best players. But in this affair I totally trust my brother.”

Paul Pogba has ruled out a potential return to Juventus and described Manchester United as his "home."

Pogba joined United's youth academy in 2009 and then went to Juventus in 2012 before returning to United in 2016.

"When I came back to United, it was the best feeling ever," Pogba told Inside United. "I came back home.

"I always dreamed of playing for United, to have many games and score goals. Nothing had really changed, except for maybe the team and the manager, but the rest of the club was the same.

"I just came back home, it was like I didn't really leave -- I just went on holiday. It was a great feeling to come back home."
