Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for La Liga on Monday, November 30.

Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in La Liga on Monday, November 30.

Monday morning's La Liga transfer talk news roundup:


Real Madrid 'prioritise Kylian Mbappe over Erling Braut Haaland next summer'

Real Madrid will reportedly prioritise a move for Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe over Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland in 2021.

With Los Blancos in the market for a new frontman as Karim Benzema approaches the latter stages of his career, Mbappe and Haaland have been the two players most strongly linked with a move to the Spanish capital.

However, Dortmund's sporting director Michael Zorc recently affirmed that Haaland would remain at the Westfalenstadion for a long time despite reported interest from Zinedine Zidane's La Liga champions.

As a result, AS claim that Madrid will instead look to move for Mbappe in the summer transfer window, with the World Cup-winning Frenchman in talks with PSG over a new deal but yet to put pen to paper past 2022.

The report suggests that Los Blancos will attempt to swoop for Haaland in two years' time, but Mbappe tops their wishlist for 2021 alongside Rennes protege Eduardo Camavinga.

Mbappe has banked nine goals and seven assists across all competitions for PSG this term, while Haaland - who recently became the fastest-ever player to score 15 Champions League goals - has struck 17 times and set up three more in the 2020-21 campaign.



Philippe Coutinho has "no plans" to leave Barcelona

Philippe Coutinho has no desire to leave Barcelona despite persistent speculation linking him with a move elsewhere, according to the Brazilian's agent.

The former Liverpool man - who spent last season on loan at Bayern Munich - was tipped to move back to the Premier League all throughout the summer after struggling to make his mark at Camp Nou.

While a return to England failed to materialise, Coutinho has once again found himself at the centre of attention, with reports in Italy claiming that Juventus are ready to swoop for the 28-year-old.

However, Coutinho's agent Kia Joorabchian has poured cold water over the prospect of a move, telling Mundo Deportivo: "I have not heard anything and we have no plans to move from Barça, and yes that Coutinho can contribute to a successful season."

Despite a recent hamstring injury, Coutinho has enjoyed more first-team action at Camp Nou since Ronald Koeman took the reins, banking two goals and two assists already this season in all competitions.

The Brazil international boasts a total of 23 goals in 84 appearances since arriving in Catalonia from Liverpool in 2018, with Coutinho contracted to Barca until 2023.
