The Senegal keeper has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

African Cup of Nations-winning goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has held contract talks with Chelsea.

However, the Senegal custodian, 31, and the Blues are not close to reaching an agreement so far.

Barcelona are looking to raise £70 million from the sale of Manchester United and Chelsea transfer target, Frenkie de Jong.

United are set to offer Facundo Pellistri a new contract. The 21-year-old Uruguayan is set to get a new deal before he is loaned out next season.

Tottenham Hotspur are not willing to sell Harry Kane in the summer, even if the England international is not going to sign a new deal. Kane’s deal with Spurs is set to expire in the summer of 2024.

Meanwhile, former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique is keen on taking over Spurs should Antonio Conte leave the London club.

Egypt star Mohamed Salah is considering leaving Liverpool. The Reds stand to make a huge profit on the forward, who signed a new contract last summer and is linked with Paris St-Germain.

World Cup-winning Alexis Mac Allister has attracted interest from Liverpool and Newcastle. The 24-year-old is ready to leave Brighton in the summer.
