| Manchester United to be interested in Barcelona's Neymar |
Manchester United are reported to have made discreet enquiries about taking the Brazilian to Old Trafford but Balague rubbished rumours, claiming the 23-year-old will pen a new deal at the Nou Camp instead.
"Neymar: contract renewal prepared. FCB wants 2 announce it soon.Doesn't stop other teams being interested but is naive 2 think he wants 2 go," he said on Twitter.
Chelsea appear equally keen to pull off a massive transfer coup by luring Paul Pogba from Juventus.
The Blues have already offered Juan Caudrado plus a significant cash sum but the Italian giants have knocked their initial approach back.
However, Juventus are known to be keen on Cuadrado and Blues playmaker Oscar but still remain reluctant to part with one of their star players.
Pogba, 22, could command a straight-cash fee of around £60million.
Elsewhere, Arsenal could face competition in their pursuit of Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema.
Reports suggest United might enter the race for his signature and are monitoring his situation in the Spanish capital.
The Gunners were thought to be closing in on a deal of £48m but Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal has seen his side score just once in their first three Premier League fixtures of the season.
As a result they will make a move if a world-class striker comes available.
