Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Barcelona offer €100m & Coutinho for Neymar

Real Madrid&nbsp;have made Paul Pogba their primary target for the remainder of the summer transfer window, ahead of Christian Eriksen. Los Blancos had shown significant interest in the&nbsp;Tottenham&nbsp;star&nbsp;but have decided to forego a move for the Dane in favour of trying to snap up Pogba, of whom Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is a huge fan.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/real-madrid-make-pogba-their-top-target-as-they-cool-interest-in-/h6omcl7hd0aj17t3azp8tyciw" target="_blank">Check out the full story on Goal!</a>

Philippe Coutinho could make a shock Liverpool comeback this summer, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://le10sport.com/football/mercato/exclu-mercato-fc-barcelone-retour-a-liverpool-pour-coutinho-462005" target="_blank">Le 10 Sport</a>.&nbsp; The Brazilian has endured an underwhelming 18 months since swapping Merseyside for Barcelona at the start of 2018.&nbsp; Manchester United and Chelsea have been mentioned as possible destinations should Barca be willing to cut their losses, while Anfield also stands out as the Reds look to consolidate after lifting the Champions League.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is desperate to see Paul Pogba sold in order to boost his meagre transfer funds, claims the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/786824/Man-Utd-transfer-news-Ole-Gunnar-Solskjaer-Paul-Pogba" target="_blank">Daily Star</a>.&nbsp; Solskjaer was told he has just&nbsp;£100 million to spend over the summer unless he finds extra income through departures.&nbsp; Pogba and Romelu Lukaku, linked with Juventus and Inter respectively, are among the favourites to leave and inject fresh cash into United's rebuilding process.

Neymar's elevated wage demands are the main obstacle between the Brazilian and a move back to Barcelona, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://le10sport.com/football/mercato/exclu-mercato-psg-un-obstacle-majeur-pour-le-deal-neymar-barcelone-462012" target="_blank">Le 10 Sport</a>.&nbsp; Speculation concerning Neymar's future has heightened in recent days, amid reports that he is determined not to resume his Paris Saint-Germain career.&nbsp; But aside from his transfer fee, that would be in the region of €200-300 million (£178-266m/$225-338m), although Ousmane Dembele could go the other way to offset the cost, his astronomic annual salary is beyond the Catalans' means.&nbsp;
