Suarez has supposedly told Coutinho the Brazilian’s signing at Barcelona will force Gomes out.
Sanchez money claim
08:30: Manchester City will offer Alexis Sanchez more money to keep the Chilean out of Jose Mourinho’s clutches.
At least that’s what Manchester United legend Gary Neville has suggested on Twitter this morning.
“We both know City will up their offer to him of more [cash emoji],” he said.
“And you will say he chose Pep for less money [winking emoji].
“They actually need to [sign Sanchez] with Aguero on his own at the moment.
“Business wise it doesn’t make sense to let Alexis go to United.
“It will cost City more in the summer to get another.”

“We have the squad we have. I don't know what's going to happen in this transfer window."
Over to you, Alexis!
Can to Real Madrid?
07:22: Gary Neville says Emre Can is good enough to play for Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
Can is out of contract at Liverpool this summer and is expected to join Juventus.
Neville said: “It’s a big blow for Liverpool. It probably won’t make the headlines of Coutinho but for me to lose him, Juventus are a clever club.
“They sign players who are intelligent, who know the game, are shrewd and for me I’ve liked him for 18 months, two years.
“I know he’s got a mixed reception on Merseyside in terms of how good he is, I've even had debates with Jamie Carragher.
“I've said I think he’s a player that will play for Bayern Munich or Real Madrid.”
Juventus targeting move for Ozil
06:00: Juventus are reportedly hoping to make a move for Premier League duo Mesut Ozil and Christian Eriksen.
The Serie A giants have been linked with a move for Emre Can but they are prepared to turn their attentions elsewhere.
Italian outlet Calciomercato claim Juventus have been monitoring Eriksen’s situation at Tottenham for some time.
And they are also hoping to take advantage of Oil’s contract situation at Arsenal.
Aubameyang to Arsenal huge hint
04:30: Borrusia For chief Michael Zorc has claimed the club are furious with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang over his recent behaviour in the wake of Arsenal’s interest.
Aubameyang was left out of Dortmund’s side to face Wolfsburg yesterday with head coach Peter Stoger claiming he was punished due to missing a “very important team meeting”.
It comes in the wake of strong rumours suggesting Arsenal are set to complete a stunning £53million deal this month.
And Dortmund sporting director Zorc has hinted Aubameyang’s days with the Bundesliga outfit are numbered.
“At some point you can’t tolerate it any more,” Zorc said.
“I don’t know what’s going on inside his head. We had a very contentious discussion today. We’re not used to this behaviour from him.”
Liverpool contact Leicester about Mahrez
04:00: Liverpool have reportedly contacted Leicester to inform them they have no interest in signing Riyad Mahrez.
Thomas Lemar has once again been heavily linked with a move to Anfield with Arsenal also mentioned as potential suitors.
And rumours have suggested Liverpool want to fast-track Naby Keita’s arrival, although RB Leipzig have since denied those reports.
One surprise target who emerged following Coutinho’s move was Mahrez, who made it clear in the summer he wanted to leave Leicester.
However, The Times claim Liverpool are adamant they have no interest whatsoever and have contacted Leicester to say they will not be making a bid for him.
