11:55. Cagliari have appointed former Sassuolo and Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco on a deal until 2022. The Italian was last in charge of Sampdoria.

11:32. Dida has returned to AC Milan to work as a first-team goalkeeper coach. He was the goalkeeper for the great Milan team in the 2000s.

10:52. The swap deal between Barcelona and Juventus for Miralem Pjanic and Arthur Melo could have involved one more player, Mundo Deportivo report, because the Bianconeri took an interest in B team left-back Sergio Akieme. The 22-year-old was close to being included in the deal, but ultimately Barcelona said no. Akieme could leave this summer, however, with Granada, Real Valladolid and Eibar all interested.

10:31. Mathias Ginter made clear to Kicker that he will remain at Borussia Monchengladbach next season, despite interest from the likes of Atletico Madrid. The centre-back's contract comes to an end in 2021.

10:07. Francisco Trincao hasn't even made his debut for Barcelona yet, but Sport report that the club have already rejected a 60 million euro offer from a Premier League side for the Portuguese prodigy. The Blaugrana signed Trincao from Braga for 30 million euros in January but kept him in Portugal for the remainder of the 2019/20 season.

9:50. Bayern Munich have made clear that they will not fight Chelsea to sign Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz. "I'm sure there won't be any more big transfers for us this year after [Leroy] Sane," Uli Hoeness told FAZ. "We all think Havertz is a very good player, but in the days of the coronavirus, after making a 50 million euro transfer, I can't imagine making another for 70 or 80 million without making sales first."

9:29. Barcelona are ready to give Ansu Fati a new contract with a pay rise and a vastly more expensive release clause as they look to avoid a potential repeat of Neymar's departure, which happened three years ago yesterday. The new release clause will be around 400 million euros.

9:05. Manchester United intend to pay 120 million euros for Jadon Sancho, but not all at once. According to Bild, they would pay 70m euros this summer, 30m euros in 2021 and then 20m euros in 2022.

8:42. Santi Cazorla is in Doha as he begins his new chapter playing for Xavi Hernandez's Al Sadd.

8:20. Antonio Conte has requested a direct line to Inter president Steven Zhang, according to Sky Sport Italia, after making criticisms about the club following the conclusion of the Serie A season. Should Conte leave his position as head coach, Massimiliano Allegri is one name that has been linked.
