Jose Mourinho wants to stay as Roma manager despite reports suggesting that he will leave the Serie A side at the end of the season.
He said: "I want to continue at Roma.
"And if I stay at Roma we've got to really think hard about the financial fair play limitations we have, because maybe it's better to work with younger players and give them some chances.
"That could present an opportunity for development, compared to players who have nothing left to develop.
"I want to continue and I'm open to a new approach."
Chelsea are tracking the highly rated Torino and Italy defender Alessandro Buongiorno.
Buongiorno has been one of the best defenders in Serie A this season and is attracting interest from across Europe.
The Blues’ scouting department have been tracking his games in recent weeks, and plan to continue watching him play over the festive period.
Buongiorno has started in 14 games since the beginning of the season - 12 in Serie A and two in the Italian Cup, registering two goals and making one assist.
The defender is also attracting interest from Juventus, Inter Milan and Roma, with Jose Mourinho publicly praising him two weeks ago.
Torino have already received an offer from one of Italy's big teams two weeks ago of £21.5million but rejected it in the belief they could get more from a Prem side.
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has opened up about Spurs' transfer plans.
"All of those things are in place," he said of potential deals ahead of the January transfer window.
"We don't have daily meetings because that's their department. Johan's [Lange] got his department and he talks with Daniel [Levy] and all of the other key personnel, and I'll get in the loop when you get the significant moments of potentially some progress in certain areas."
Luis Suarez has revealed he believes Neymar made a mistake leaving Barcelona for PSG.
The Uruguay legend told Clank!: “We were very good friends, and we knew if we fulfilled our roles on the pitch, we would make Barcelona great. If one of us did not play well, the other two would make the difference. It was a spectacular relationship.
"We told him it was a mistake to go to PSG. If Ney wanted to be the best, he had to stay by Leo’s side.
"But, he made his decision, and it left a void in the team."
David Moyes has revealed Mohammed Kudus will be a huge loss when he heads to the African Cup of Nations in January with Ghana.
He said: "A really good boy to work with and obviously his goals and assists are really the things that are standing out.
“It is a huge blow (to lose him) because he scores goals and makes goals. We’re going to have to find other ways. I have to say, we will hugely miss him.”
Fabio Carvalho is reportedly considering a return to Fulham - but only if Liverpool can recall him from RB Leipzig.
The Portuguese winger is currently struggling to get games in the Bundesliga.
The Germans have reiterated he remains key to their plans.
However, Liverpool want him to gain experience playing - and sources close to the player have said that Carvalho would want a return to Fulham, where he originally thrived.
The Saudi Pro League will make another ambitious attempt to sign Kylian Mbappe again next year.
The PSG forward was linked with a world-record transfer last summer but stayed put in Ligue 1 and remains a top target for Real Madrid.
But the Saudi Pro League director of football Michael Emenalo insists there is an "open conversation" ongoing with Mbappe.
Emenalo said: "With Mbappe the conversation is open, but we don't know what he wants to do. Our position is very clear: any of this type of players knows where we are.
"If there is any possibility or interest that Mbappé is part of what we are building, now or in the future, we cannot reject that possibility. He is a player that I love."
Liverpool and Manchester United have been blocked from a potential £50million payday after being ruled OUT of the new expanded Club World Cup.
Fifa chiefs unveiled the official criteria for the 12 European sides eligible to take part in the 32-team event in the USA in 2025.
Manchester City and Chelsea have been guaranteed their place in the most lucrative club event in football history - worth £1BILLION-plus - after their Champions League triumphs in 2021 and last season respectively.
But Liverpool and United are officially OUT of contention - although Arsenal could STILL take a place.
Newcastle have put Bournemouth’s transfer chief Richard Hughes on top of their hitlist, SunSport can exclusively reveal.
The Toon are braced for a call that will take their sporting director Dan Ashworth to Manchester United once the protracted buy-in by Sir Jim Ratcliffe takes place.
Ashworth, 52, is first choice for the football supremo role should Ratcliffe and sidekick Sir Dave Brailsford finally take 25 per cent of Old Trafford.
The Red Devils could offer Ashworth a role that could convince him to quit Newcastle barely a year after joining.
Newcastle can place Ashworth on gardening leave for an extended period of time — as Brighton did when they lost him — but they would need a top replacement.
And Cherries technical director Hughes’ name is on the lips of many on Tyneside.
Just breaking away from transfer news for a moment to tell you that the Premier League game between Bournemouth and Luton is set to be replayed in full.
Yesterday's match was abandoned with the score 1-1 in the 59th minute after Hatters skipper Tom Lockyer collapsed and suffered a cardiac arrest.
Premier League Rule L15 states any match abandoned with the consent of the referee will be replayed, with the Board to confirm a date and kick-off time.
And according to the Daily Mail, the top flight is expected to stick to this protocol.
The Premier League Board does have the power to order an incomplete match to be replayed in full or in part or allow the result at the time of the abandonment to stand.
