    Real Madrid ‘to go all out to sign Enzo Fernandez with Chelsea set to be offered sensational swap transfer’

    REAL MADRID are reportedly ready to offer an £86million first-team star in a sensational swap deal for Chelsea vice-captain Enzo Fernandez.The Argentine World Cup winner has emerged as a key man for the Blues this season, two years after a record £106million move from Benfica.Real Madrid are lining up a mega swap deal for Chelsea star Enzo FernandezCredit: ReutersFernandez already has three league goals this season, as many as he managed in his previous 18 months at Stamford Bridge.But reports suggest the midfield ace is unsettled at Chelsea.And DSports claims Fernandez has now emerged as a target for Real Madrid.The Spanish champs are said to be huge fans of Enzo Maresca’s vice-skipper.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLReal feel they are lacking in creative midfield areas this season following Toni Kroos’ surprise retirement.And with Luka Modric possibly exiting ahead of his 40th birthday in September, Fernandez would be an ideal signing.However, he is tied down to Chelsea until 2032 on a mega-contract worth £180,000-a-week.It means Real would need to pay a pretty penny for Fernandez’s signature.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSAnd Carlo Ancelotti is ready to soften the blow by offering a player in exchange, with Frenchman Aurelian Tchouameni set to be sacrificed.The versatile holding midfielder was an £86m purchase from Monaco in 2022.Jude Bellingham caught ‘humbling’ LaLiga rival who threatened to knock Real Madrid team-mate out ‘in 10 seconds’Real are ready to part ways with Aurelien TchouameniCredit: AFPHe’s since gone on to make 114 appearances while winning a LaLiga title and Champions League.But nearly half of Tchouameni’s games this season have come at centre-back.He is reportedly unhappy with his lack of chances further up the pitch and is looking for an exit before deadline day.Chelsea could apparently be tempted to accept Real’s offer, which would see them rake in some cash for a new winger while also bolstering their squad with a player of Tchouameni’s quality.Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho has been strongly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.It’s thougt he could cost as much as £60m, although Napoli are also said to be in talks with the ace.

    Ruben Amorim ‘seals first Man Utd signing as club reach agreement for immediate transfer of Patrick Dorgu’

    MANCHESTER UNITED have reached an agreement to sign Patrick Dorgu, according to reports.And the left-back will become Ruben Amorim’s first signing as Red Devils boss – unless Ayden Heaven arrives from Arsenal before the paperwork is completed.Patrick Dorgu looks set to join Manchester United from LecceCredit: SplashAmorim has been keen to bolster his faltering squad during the January transfer window.And the Portuguese chief identified the full-back area as a key place to strengthen.His 3-4-3 formation relies on wing-backs – and he hopes Dorgu can make an immediate impact on the left.As reported by news outlets in Italy including SoloLecce, the deal between United and Lecce is “done”. READ MORE ON MAN UTDIt is claimed Dorgu will make an immediate switch to Old Trafford for an initial £29million – with a further £4m in possible add-ons. Those add-ons are said to be certainly achievable and include Champions League qualification and a set number of Premier League appearances for the youngster. Dorgu, 20, joined Lecce in 2022 and made his senior debut at the beginning of last season.He has racked up 57 appearances for the Serie A club, chipping in with five goals, too.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSThe 6ft 2ins star – who can play at left-back, wing-back or even as a winger – also has four caps and one goal for Denmark having come through all the youth teams from Under-18s. However, his former manager urged the rising star to SNUB a move to United. Man Utd’s Player Ratings vs FulhamJens Fonnskov Olsen managed Dorgu when he was part of Denmark’s U19s setup.He told Tipsbladet: “If I have to be a little cheeky, I hope he chooses something other than Manchester United right now.”I don’t know if it’s a bad fit, but they’re just in a period where… I don’t know if you can afford to say no to United, but maybe somewhere where there’s a little more structure and where things fit in with his pace.”Sometimes things have to go in the right order, if you can say it like that.”The thing is that there are many paths to the goal.”On what Red Devils fans can expect from Dorgu as a player, though, Olsen added: “Patrick is fast, he is forward-thinking, he can head both offensively and defensively, and he has a very, very good left foot.”He has been really well-educated [at Lecce], especially in the defensive part of the game, where he may have lacked something.”He is a creative player. I am incredibly happy that I brought him in and just believed in him.”I am really happy for him, in terms of how his career has developed.”Dorgu could make his debut in Sunday’s home clash with Crystal Palace – with Diogo Dalot or Noussair Mazraoui likely making way should he come into the starting XI.And the expected incoming could spell the end for both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia at the club.Heaven, meanwhile, is set to join in a shock swoop.The 18-year-old centre-back is ready to leave Arsenal after rejecting their latest contract offer.And despite interest from Eintracht Frankfurt, Fabrizio Romano reckons an agreement is all sorted for the teenager’s Old Trafford switch – with a medical already booked. Premier League teams have until Monday night to complete their transfer activity.So far, United’s only business has been to send various youth players and winger Antony out on loan.READ MORE SUN STORIESAlejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford could both make significant exits from Old Trafford.Chelsea and Napoli are seemingly battling it out for £60m winger Garnacho while finding a club to take Rashford and his mammoth wages could prove tricky.

     ‘Livid’ Annie Kilner is ‘sick and tired of dropping everything for Kyle Walker’ – as he ‘settles in well’ without her

    ANNIE Kilner is “sick and tired” of dropping everything for Kyle Walker as he “settles in well” without her.The mum-of-four, 31, is set to snub her love cheat hubby, 34, as she refuses to watch the England star play for new club AC Milan against arch-rivals Inter this weekend.Annie is ‘sick an tired’ of dropping everything for Kyle Walker, a source claimedCredit: GettyThe mum-of-four, sporting a new braided hairstyle, celebrated a pal’s 40th birthday instead of flying outCredit: annievkilner/InstagramAnnie is to snub Kyle’s Italian footie debut for AC MilanCredit: GettyA source said: “She’s sick and tired of dropping everything for Kyle and is putting her foot down.“He’s flown his mates out and she’s livid. “He appears to be settling in very well and that’s not helping matters either.”Sources said they are barely speaking after a series of rows over his ex-mistress Lauryn Goodman’s reported plans to relocate abroad.Annie was expected to fly to Milan last weekend with their four boys to see Kyle being unveiled to fans after his shock loan transfer to Italy from Manchester City.But the 31-year-old, sporting a new braided hairstyle, celebrated a pal’s 40th birthday instead.She is now refusing to fly out this weekend too.One source said: “Annie was supposed to go on Friday but Storm Eowyn put it back until Saturday.Most read in Football“Then a row over Lauryn and her future plans blew up and Annie did a full 180.”She was also p***ed off he flew his friends out before her.Kyle Walker takes England legend’s old shirt number after completing ‘incredible’ AC Milan loan transfer“So she went on a girls’ night out and posted the pictures as a big ‘f*** you’.”The source added: “Kyle’s mum and dad are going to be in the San Siro on Sunday to support him.”Again, she had no idea and was furious when she found out. They’re not communicating whatsoever.”It comes as Annie has been told to “name your price” to sign up for CBB, which airs this Easter.A source told The Sun: “ITV have approached Annie’s team. Coleen Rooney’s success on I’m A Celebrity proved how much interest there is for Wags and they would love to replicate her success on CBB.Annie is struggling to escape Walker’s betrayalCredit: Paul EdwardsWalker had two children with Lauryn GoodmanCredit: PA“Annie’s team were told to name their price — they’ll do anything to get her on board. It would be an absolute coup to get her in the Big Brother house.”Annie filed for divorce from Kyle last August and wants half of his £27million fortune.But now she is now set to move to Milan with Walker, in a bid to re-kindle their marriage.The hope is to start afresh by moving away from Cheshire – and Lauryn Goodman — the mother of two of his children.But a source claimed Annie feels “terrorised” by the long and bitter feud.Kyle allegedly blocked Lauryn from renting out her £2.4million Sussex pad, which he owns, to stop her moving abroad.The insider added: “They could go to the ends of the Earth and still not escape Lauryn.READ MORE SUN STORIES“Because of what he’s done, she is going to be in their lives for a long time to come and there’s nothing they can do about it.“It’s all Annie thinks about. She feels terrorised by it all and worries constantly about what Lauryn is likely to do next.”Annie is now a top target for Celebrity Big BrotherCredit: instagram/annievkilner More
