Happy Monday everyone and welcome to my latest Daily Briefing! Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy today’s exclusive round-up :-)

Today’s top stories:

• Chelsea to continue Pochettino talks this week

• Liverpool targets as they eye 2-3 midfield signings

• Plus more from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Tottenham

Barcelona

Barcelona won’t be signing Reece James from Chelsea - he only recently signed a new contract and is considered untouchable. For Sergino Dest they will look for new solution, I don’t see him staying but we will see in the summer. The market for Barça depends on Financial Fair Play; for example I said three weeks ago that they met with the agent of Jeremie Frimpong but now the priorities are different, the right-back is something that will be decided later in the window.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s dream is to return to Barcelona, he was very happy during his spell there last season. He loved life in the city, he loved the fans, and had a great relationship with the coach Xavi. I understand Barca would also like to bring him back, he’s their favoured option despite links with Roberto Firmino, but it will only happen under the right conditions because of Financial Fair Play.
