Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte and Manchester United's Jose Mourinho feature on a six-man shortlist of possible candidates to replace Unai Emery at Paris Saint-Germain.

Inter Milan are set to make a bid for PSG playmaker Javier Pastore in January.

Juventus are unhappy with Paulo Dybala after the Argentine threw his shinpads in frustration when he was substituted during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Sporting Lisbon.

Atletico Madrid defender Jose Maria Gimenez may be set for an exit, with Inter, Juventus and Manchester City all interested.

At the other end of the pitch, Barca are also hoping to sign RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner.

Zinedine Zidane insists Real Madrid "aren't in crisis" after a humbling 3-1 defeat to Tottenham at Wembley on Wednesday.
