-old.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wants to leave Borussia Dortmund in January after falling out with the club, according to Bild.

Arsenal will have to up their offer, however, with Real holding all the power in negotiations.
BARCELONA TO DITCH OZIL INTEREST

DORTMUND SCOUT MAN UTD TARGET
Borussia Dortmund are keeping an eye on Manchester United target Dimitri Oberlin and his Basel team-mate Manuel Akanji, according to Blick .
Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc was in Switzerland to watch 20-year-old Oberlin feature in the Champions League win over United. The attacker rejected United as a youngster but has attracted interest from them once again with his bright displays for Basel. The German side could compete with the Red Devils for the Switzerland Under 21 international, but as he is on loan with an option to join Basel at the end of the season, they may have to wait to get him.
They have a better chance of going after 22-year-old defender Akanji, who is in his third season with the club and expected to move on soon, and Zorc is said to have been there to watch him on Wednesday too.
PSG CHASE FELLAINI
Paris Saint-Germain wish to sign Marouane Fellaini from Manchester United at the end of the season, Le 10 Sport reports.
Unai Emery's side want a backup to Thiago Motta in midfield and see the physical Belgian as the perfect option.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibault Courtois is demanding a massive salary hike if he is to stay at Chelsea, Belgian outlet HLN reports.
The 25-year-old is being followed by Real Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain, and he is ready to open talks with those clubs if he does not get an offer he deems acceptable.
He wants €230,000 per week - taking him in line with the Premier League's best paid goalkeepers, like Manchester United's David de Gea.
RANGNICK TOP OF EVERTON'S SHORTLIST

The German is currently the sporting director at RB Leipzig, who have enjoyed a stellar rise to success in the Bundesliga.
SOLER DEMANDS £45M MAN UTD MOVE
Valencia midfielder Carlos Soler has demanded his club agree a January deal for him to move to Manchester United, claims The Sun .
United manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly identified the Spain Under 21 international as his No.1 target to improve his creative midfield options in the New Year.

MAN UTD HOLD DEMBELE TALKS
Manchester United have held talks with Celtic about the possibility of signing French striker Moussa Dembele, reports L'Equipe .

LIVERPOOL WANT DRAXLER LOAN
Liverpool are looking to sign Julian Draxler from PSG on loan, according to reports in L'Equipe .

ATLETICO WANT COURTOIS BACK
Atletico Madrid will move to bring Thibaut Courtois back to the club from Chelsea if Jan Oblak leaves next summer, according to AS .

MAN CITY COULD LOSE WONDERKID TO LIVERPOOL
Liverpool are hopeful of signing Manchester City starlet Javairo Dilrosun, according to ESPN .
City will be hopeful of keeping hold of the 19-year-old after losing Jadon Sancho to Borussia Dortmund in the summer, but Juventus, RB Leipzig and Valencia are also interested, as well as the Bundesliga club themselves.
ARSENAL PLOT GORETZKA TALKS
Arsenal will open discussions with Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka in the new year as they start to plan for life without Mesut Ozil, reports the Daily Mail .

Both clubs have had scouts cast an eye over the Euro 2016 winner and have had positive reports fed back to Old Trafford and Emirates Stadium.
BARCA PLOT €20M OZIL MOVE
Barcelona believe a €20 million offer will be enough to sign Mesut Ozil from Arsenal in January, Mundo Deportivo reports.
The Catalan side have picked the 29-year-old attacking midfielder as a potential alternative to their top target Philippe Coutinho.
Ozil will be a much cheaper alternative as he reportedly has no interest in signing a new contract, meaning Arsenal could take the money in January before he leaves on a free in the summer.
MADRID TO MAKE €30M ALEXIS MOVE
Real Madrid are ready to seal a cut-price €30 million deal for Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez in the January transfer window, according to Don Balon .
The Chilean is out of contract in summer 2018 and with it not looking likely he will extend his stay at Emirates Stadium, the Gunners are willing to sell to Zinedine Zidane's side for a small fee.
MAN CITY READY MAHREZ BID
Manchester City are ready to move for Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez as Pep Guardiola looks to add yet more firepower to his attack, claims Don Balon .

MKHITARYAN FIGHTING FOR MAN UTD FUTURE
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is fighting to save his Manchester United career following his dip in form in recent weeks, claims The Sun .
The Armenia international enjoyed a bright start to the season, but has struggled of late and was left out of the matchday squad for Saturday’s 4-1 win over Newcastle.
His fitness level is causing Jose Mourinho and his coaching staff concern, with the 28-year-old battling to prove he is worth keeping at United.
