Juventus and Barcelona in talks over Bernardeschi-Rakitic swap

Juventus and Barcelona are in talks over a swap deal involving Ivan Rakitic and Federico Bernardeschi, according to AS.

Juve are looking to strengthen their central midfield and view Rakitic, who has struggled for game time at Camp Nou this season, as a strong option.

The Portuguese midfielder's move to Old Trafford in doubt

Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes' proposed move to Manchester United has stalled due to a dispute over bonus payments - according to The Sun.

The Red Devils are prepared to pay £34 million ($44m), with a further £25.5 million ($33m) in add-ons, but the Portuguese club do not think the bonus targets are achievable.

United would have to win the Champions League and Premier League, and Fernandes the Ballon d'Or for Sporting to receive the extra sum in full.

Newcastle & West Ham trailing Inter's Lazaro

Inter midfielder Valentino Lazaro is the subject of interest from Newcastle and West Ham - according to Gianluca Marzio.

Lazaro, 23, has only featured in six Serie A matches for Inter this season.

Roma have turned their attention to Shaqiri after missing out on primary target Matteo Politano from Inter, as they look to replace the injured Nicolo Zaniolo.
