      Manchester City will offer Sergio Ramos a two-year deal, reports sayCredit: AFP
      And ESPN report that Man City are set to offer him a two-year deal to bring him to the Etihad.
      Manager Pep Guardiola is reportedly keen on his experience and leadership skills.
      Man City fell at the final hurdle in their quest to win the Champions League when they were beaten by Chelsea in Porto on Saturday.
      Ramos has won the trophy four times with Real Madrid during his 16-year stay in the Spanish capital.
      He’s also collected five LaLiga titles and was part of Spain’s conquering team that won Euro 2008, the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012.
      The ESPN report adds that the two-year deal would also include the option of another season, or an alternative spell at New York City in the MLS.
      But the option of staying at Real Madrid is still on the table and will be discussed in a meeting with the club this week.
      Ruben Dias has impressed at centre-back for Man City and been partnered by John Stones.
      Nathan Ake has been hampered by injuries and Eric Garcia is set to leave to rejoin Barcelona.

      That leaves Aymeric Laporte as Guardiola’s only other current option.
      Ramos was axed from Spain’s squad for the Euros this summer with Garcia chosen instead.
      Boss Luis Enrique decided to axe the nation’s most-capped player for the summer showpiece.
      Ramos only managed 21 appearances in all competitions for Los Blancos and has paid the price for his lack of fitness.
      And amazingly it is the first time EVER that no Madrid player has been included in a Spanish squad for a major tournament.
      Luis Enrique said: “It was a very difficult decision but Ramos has not been able to compete or train very much recently.
      “I would have liked Ramos to be in the squad but I did not think it was viable because he has practically been unable to compete.”

      Ramos tweeted: “After a tough few months and a strange season unlike anything I have experienced in my career comes the Euros.
      “I have fought and worked every day, in body and soul, to be able to reach 100 per cent for Real Madrid and the national team but things don’t always work out the way we’d like.
      “It pains me not to have been able to help my team more and not to play for Spain but, in this case, the best thing to do is rest, fully recover and come back next year like we’ve always done.
      “It hurts not to represent your country, but I have to be honest and sincere.”

      Keita’s representatives have offered their client to the La Liga champions as a result, report AS via Sport Witness.
      But Atletico have reportedly turned down that offer, due to having no interest in the Guinea international.
      That represents a big development from two weeks ago, when reports suggested Diego Simone was a ‘big fan’ of Keita.
      Instead, they view Udinese’s Rodrigo de Paul as the man to boost their midfield options.
      Liverpool have also been keen on the Argentine after he scored nine goals and made ten assists in Serie A this season.
      As for Keita, he is believed to be struggling to attract transfer interest, despite Liverpool wanting to offload him for almost a year.
      Keita joined Liverpool in 2018 for £48m but he has made just 53 league apperances for the club, with his spell on Merseyside plagued by injury.

      He has two years remaining on his contract and with Georginio Wijnaldum’s exit imminent he may still hold hope of becoming a success with The Reds.
      Alternatively, Klopp may be eyeing Rodrigo de Paul and another midfilder, such as Marcel Sabitzer, to improve his options in the middle of the park.
      The Austria international was linked with a move to Liverpool in March and could provide goals from deep, something Keita has failed to achieve.

      Arsenal keen on transfer for Barcelona’s forgotten man Emerson Royal who is yet to make appearance after 2019 signing

      by

      ARSENAL are reportedly interested in a £21.5million transfer for Barcelona’s forgotten man Emerson Royal.The 22-year-old signed for the Catalan giants from Atletico Mineiro in 2019 but is yet to make his debut.
      Arsenal are considering a swoop for Brazilian right-back Emerson Royal, left, this summerCredit: AFP
      In a bizarre £11m transfer, Real Betis were part of the joint signing and have had Royal for the last two-and-a-half seasons since his move to Spain, making 79 appearances.
      The Brazilian right-back is planning to head to his parent club but Barcelona must stump up the £7.7m to attain 100 per cent ownership of the player.
      He desperately wants to make his mark with a breakthrough at the Nou Camp and said: “Barca is the club I dreamed of since the beginning of my career, it is the fruit of my work and I am happy.”
      However, due to Barca’s financial disarray, they could be forced into selling the rising star instead.
      Royal has a rented house in Barcelona from July 1 but there is a clause in his contract to break the lease should he be let go.
      According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have called a meeting with Royal’s agent to discuss his future.
      And the same outlet report Arsenal could make a move for the defender.
      Barcelona would demand a £21.5m transfer fee to make a healthy profit on Royal.

      Eden Hazard ‘wants sensational Chelsea transfer return and Real Madrid willing to cash in on ace to fund spending spree’

      AS in Spain claim that Real Madrid could cut their losses on Hazard after two poor years at the Bernabeu.
      And should they offload the forward it would free up funds to rebuild their squad.
      The report adds that they’d hope to recoup around £85million of the £140m they paid two years ago.
      Real Madrid saw cross-town rival Atletico Madrid pip them to win LaLiga and manager Zinedine Zidane leave the club again.
      And the report in AS says Zidane’s departure means Hazard has lost his ‘main support’ from the past two years.
      It could signal an amazing return to the club where he spent seven years and won two Premier League titles.
      But his advancing years and huge wages would be a problem for Blues boss Thomas Tuchel to navigate.
      Hazard joined Real Madrid for £140million in 2019 but his injury-hit stay in the Spanish capital has been a major disappointment.

      Hazard also felt the wrath of Madrid fans after he was spotted joking with Chelsea’s Kurt Zouma straight after his old side had dumped them out of the Champions League earlier this month.
      He is just one of a number of players they hoping to offload over the coming months.
      Luka Jovic, Gareth Bale, Dani Ceballos, Mariano and Brahim Diaz are all expected to be available for transfer to try and boost the club’s finances.

      Juventus ‘to extend Alvaro Morata’s loan transfer for another season and will pay Atletico Madrid further £8.5m’

      by

      ALVARO MORATA will extend his loan stay at Juventus, according to reports.The ex-Chelsea forward, 28, will stay in Turin for a second season on loan from Atletico Madrid.
      Alvaro Morata will stay at Juventus for another year, reports sayCredit: Reuters
      Spanish striker Morata arrived in Italy last summer on a one-year loan deal.
      Juventus had three options this summer – to let Morata go, extend the loan deal by a year, or sign him permanently.
      And Goal report that the Old Lady will keep him on for another year and pay £8.5m to the Spanish champions.
      He scored 20 goals in 44 games for Juventus in what was a disappointing season for the team.
      Manager Andrea Pirlo was sacked as they let go of their Serie A crown and just about sneaked into the top four.
      Ex-boss Max Allegri returned as manager last week and he’s worked with Morata before in Turin.
      The forward won back to back Serie A titles under Allegri in 2015 and 2016 before going back to Real Madrid.
      He then moved to Chelsea in 2017 but failed to live up to his £70m price tag and left for Atletico Madrid after 18 months.

      The 28-year-old has 38 Spanish caps and 19 goals for his country.
      Earlier this year he was diagnosed with a lifelong virus after feeling faint and needing a lie down following a Champions League game.
      Former Juve manager Pirlo revealed the striker complained of feeling ill after the 2-1 loss to Porto in February.
      Morata was diagnosed with Cytomegalovirus (CMV), which stays in the body for the duration of your life.

      However, it is common and usually harmless and can cause flu-like symptoms – similar to those the Spaniard was exhibiting.
      CMV is related to the herpes virus that causes cold sores and chickenpox but many people will carry it without realising.
      It is transmitted via close contact but can only be passed on when it is ‘active’ – usually when you first contract the virus.
