Transfer news LIVE updates: All the latest gossip

Thursday 5 April

Messi’s Liverpool discovery

Lionel Messi has reportedly learned who Barcelona want to sign as Liverpool look to prise Jasper Cillessen away from the Nou Camp.

According to Don Balon, Jurgen Klopp does not trust Liverpool pair Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius.

And as a result he’s plotting a raid on Barcelona for Marc-Andre Ter Stegen’s deputy, Cillessen.

Cillessen is capable of being a No 1 in his own right and Liverpool are supposedly lining up a mega-money bid.

However, Barcelona will not be caught cold and Lionel Messi is said to have discovered who is being targeted to replace the Dutchman.

Don Balon claim word of negotiations for Altinordu stopper Berke Ozer has got back to Messi.

Chelsea and Spurs battle

Chelsea and Spurs are both battling for Hamburg star Jann-Fiete Arp, according to reports in Germany.

Bild claim that both London clubs are looking at the striker, who has forced his way into the first-team this season.

The 18-year-old has previously admitted to idolising Harry Kane.

Pereria’s Mourinho talks

Andreas Pereira is reportedly seeking talks with Jose Mourinho over his Manchester United future.

Pereira is currently on loan at La Liga side Valencia after demanding to leave last summer to play regular football.

Mourinho made clear his unhappiness over Pereira’s decision to leave but the Brazilian has been vindicated with 24 appearances this season.

According to ESPN, Pereira wants assurances from Mourinho over his position at Old Trafford before deciding whether to stay or leave on loan again.

Wenger on Golovin

Arsene Wenger has refused to rule out attempting to tie up any deal for CSKA Moscow’s Aleksandr Golovin this summer.

But the Frenchman was in no mood to discuss his summer transfer plans ahead of their Champions League clash this evening.

“You can understand that if I speak to you about respect, that I do not want to come out and speak about transfers of some CSKA Moscow players to Arsenal,” he said.

“That is not the case at the moment and I don’t think it would be appropriate to talk about something like that the day before the game.”
