Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd £100m January move, Barcelona Neymar request, Real Madrid plan
TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - All the latest rumours and gossip coming out of Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus.
Arsenal want Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette to sign new contracts at the club and they have a cheeky plan to save money on their wage budget.
The Gunners want to offer Aubameyang and Lacazette new deals with performance-related bonuses, meaning their basic wage will not actually increase.
Both players earn around £180,000-a-week at the Emirates and have opened preliminary talks over extending their stay at the club.
The Sun say they will earn bonuses through individual and collective achievements, such as scoring a set amount of goals and achieving a top-four finish.

Cristiano Ronaldo can't believe Bruno Fernandes didn't leave Sporting Lisbon over the summer.
The Portuguese international was heavily linked with Manchester United, while Tottenham were tipped as an alternate destination towards the close of the window.
But Fernandes ended up staying put in the Primeira Liga, much to Ronaldo's confusion.
"In the national team you have Cancelo, Bruno Fernandes, who nobody knows why he doesn't leave," Ronaldo told TVI while discussing his national team.
"In the national team, you have a lot of talent, so I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Possibly this new generation will be the best at the talent level, but that's not enough.
"They have to want to. I have spoken to him. Positive, I'm a captain who wants to help and be helped.
"The atmosphere in the national team is spectacular. The last few years have been the most enjoyable, both because they want to learn and because there is this.
"The most responsible for this is Fernando Santos and the president of the FPF."

11:00 UPDATE: Real Madrid plan
Reports that Real Madrid made a bid of Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Keylor Navas for Neymar are misplaced, but they are planning a cash-plus-players bid.
That's the word from Guillem Balague, the Spanish transfer expert.
Los Blancos are looking to rival El Clasico rivals Barcelona to sign the Brazilian.
And they will reportedly make a bid comprising of money, Navas, Luka Jovic and a third player to try and entice Paris Saint-Germain into business.
The offer from Real Madrid, when it arrives, will include money, Keylor Navas, another player and Luka Jovic!!
Keylor Navas has made it clear he wishes to leave Real Madrid after being told Thibaut Courtois will be the No 1 goalkeeper this year.
According to Marca, Zinedine Zidane has informed Costa Rican shot-stopper Navas he will only be second choice between the sticks.
And in response Navas wants out of the Bernabeu, with Real Madrid on the hunt for a back-up with young keeper Andriy Lunin having been sent out on loan to Real Valladolid.
Real Madrid have yet to decide whether they will accomodate Navas' request, having looked to use him as a makeweight in a deal to sign Neymar.
