It's crunch time across Europe with the knockout stages of the Champions League and Europa League underway, while title races hot up.

Manchester United are preparing a new £90m (€102m) offer for Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly.
The Senegalese, however, pledged his loyalty to the Partenopei on Friday, saying: "I am flattered and it's pleasing to know, but I am concentrated only on Napoli and proving what I can do on the pitch. There is a lot of motivation for me at Napoli, we want to prove we're at the top level and I want to keep improving here." (Rai Sport)
Roma want to remove - or at least increase - the release clause in defender Kostas Manolas' contract. The Greek defender, 27, is an Arsenal and Manchester United transfer target. (Corriere dello Sport)
Having seen two chances to move to Serie A pass him by previously - with Juventus and Milan - Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic could make it third time lucky with Inter keen on a summer deal. A clinching factor could be the fact his wife, Raquel, loves Milan. (Tuttomercato)
Inter are already weighing up striking options should they lose Mauro Icardi this summer. The Argentine forward was stripped of the club's captaincy in midweek and could leave amid reports he is a Chelsea transfer target. If that were to happen, the Nerazzurri would switch their focus to one of four players: Roma's Edin Dzeko, Juventus' Gonzalo Higuain, who is currently on loan at Stamford Bridge, PSG's Edinson Cavani or Duvan Zapata of Atalanta.

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak hopes to extend his stay beyond 2021 and revealed his agent has begun talks with the club. "My representative and that of Atletico are talking," he said after Saturday's 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano. "But I repeat that I have a contract with Atletico for more years and we will see what happens. And if in the end I renew, I'm sure I'll be happy." (AS)
The father of Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar, Neymar Sr, says the Brazilian is very happy in the French capital - but refused to commit his son's future to the club. "Neymar's first year at PSG was a year of adaptation, a year of experience," he said. "From now on, he is very good in Paris. He is very happy here and he is growing up with PSG.
"Aside from the injury, he is very happy in Paris. The future of Neymar is in Paris, his present is in Paris. But it's hard to talk about the future, because in football it can change at any time. But Neymar's present is in Paris." (Telefoot)
Neymar's PSG team-mate, midfielder Adrien Rabiot, believes he will join Barcelona this summer. The Frenchman has been frozen out at the Parc des Princes after refusing to sign a new deal. His current contract expires on June 30. (Le Parisien)
