      Isco ready to snub Juventus transfer to stay at Real Madrid despite Pirlo desperate to link him with Cristiano Ronaldo

      by

      ISCO is reportedly ready to stay with Real Madrid amid speculation he is wanted by Juventus.
      Andrea Pirlo, who took over as manager of the Italian champions, was said to be eyeing a move for Isco.

      Isco is reportedly ready to stay with Real Madrid amid speculation he is wanted by Juventus
      It would see the Spaniard, 28, reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo, 35, with whom he won four Champions League trophies.
      According to AS, Isco was initially open to listening to offers away from Madrid.
      But it is understood after a holiday he has decided to commit to the LaLiga champions for another season.
      His contract expires in 2022 and Bernabeu bosses are yet to enter talks to extend the deal.

      Amid the coronavirus pandemic, transfer fees are facing a plummet.
      And Isco is said to believe his price tag would significantly drop this summer.
      He has been linked with a move away from the Spanish capital for several seasons now, despite 30 appearances in Madrid’s title winning campaign this term.
      It is believed Pirlo identified Isco as the perfect man to get the best out of Ronaldo.

      And with Madrid igniting reported interest in Paulo Dybala, the Spaniard’s future could even be out of his hands.
      According to SportMediaset, Madrid could offer Isco or Toni Kroos to Juve in exchange for the Argentine.
      In addition to offering one of the midfielders, it has been said they are also prepared to hand over £89.9million – despite the Italian kings wanting to extend Dybala’s deal.

      Real Madrid stars ‘told there will be no new transfers’ with Pogba chase OFF.. but Dani Ceballos could be given chance

      by

      REAL MADRID’S Paul Pogba pursuit is OFF after club president Florentino Perez reportedly told his first-team stars that there will be no new signings this summer.
      Zinedine Zidane’s men successfully wrestled their league title back from Barcelona this season, but disappointed in the Champions League.

      The Frenchman tasted knockout defeat in the competition for the first time as a manager when Manchester City beat his team 4-2 on aggregate in the round of 16.
      Rather than continuing to rebuild, however, Zidane will have to to work with what he has.
      According to Marca, Real Madrid general manager Jose Angel Sanchez gathered the first-team squad following their defeat at the Etihad, in order to inform them of the club’s summer plans.
      Sanchez revealed that owing to Covid-19-related financial issues, there will be no new signings through the door this summer.

      This effectively brings an end to any talk of signing the likes of Paul Pogba, Kylian Mbappe or Eduardo Camavinga this summer.
      The GM also praised the players for their efforts this season, while informing them that they would not be making Alphone Areola’s loan move from Paris Saint-Germain permanent.

      Any fresh blood in Zidane’s side next season will have to come from players returning from various loan spells.
      This could open the door to the likes of Dani Ceballos following his impressive form at Arsenal, in a blow to the Gunners’ hopes of signing him permanently.

      Real Sociedad will also suffer, with the impressive Martin Odegaard, still only 21-years-old, having been recalled one season into his two-year loan spell at Anoeta.

      Replacing Areola as back-up stopper could be the returning Andriy Lunin, with the Ukrainian having starred for Oviedo.
      Alvaro Odriozola could play a part after his uneventful loan spell at Bayern Munich, although fellow full-back Sergio Reguilon could be on his way to Chelsea.
      One highly-rated Madrid youngster that will NOT be involved next season, however, is Takefusa Kubo – with the fleet-footed Japanese teenager having been sent on loan to Villarreal after impressing with RCD Mallorca.

      How Barcelona could line-up with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi FINALLY playing together amid shock transfer links

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO and Lionel Messi could finally join forces next season.
      The Juventus star has reportedly been offered a shock move to Barcelona this summer.

      3

      Here’s how Barcelona could line-up for the 2020/21 campaign
      Ronaldo has allegedly been left considering his future after a disappointing end to the season.
      The 35-year-old has reportedly been offered the chance to play for Paris Saint-Germain.
      And more surprisingly, Ronaldo has been tipped to team up with his Ballon d’Or rival at the Nou Camp.
      The two stars – who are the richest footballers on the planet – have never played together.

      Instead, they have competed with each other tirelessly throughout their careers to determine who is the best player.
      Messi is leading the race after winning six Ballon d’Or titles – compared to Ronaldo’s five.

      In 2016, Ronaldo admitted he would like to play alongside his Argentine rival.
      He told France Football: “It would be interesting to see us both in the same team.

      “I think great players should play together.
      “So if we were in the same team, I think I would have more than him, but he wouldn’t be far off.”
      Ronaldo and Messi – who have a combined age of 68 – could lead the line for Barca next term.
      The former Real Madrid star has 638 career goals and 223 assists under his belt.
      And the Barcelona talisman has found the net 634 times and made 285 assists.
      Luis Suarez, 33, could form the final part of their formidable front three.

      Barcelona’s midfield could also feature some new faces next season.
      Matteo Guendouzi has been linked with a move to the Nou Camp – but Arsenal are demanding £40million for him.
      The LaLiga giants have also set their sights on signing Bernardo Silva from Manchester City.

      Man City blunder keeper Claudio Bravo set for Real Betis transfer as Pellegrini eyes solution for leaky defence

      by

      CLAUDIO BRAVO could sign for Real Betis once his contract at Manchester City expires, according to reports.
      The Chilean goalkeeper, 37, agreed a short-term extension to take him through to the end of City’s Champions League campaign in June but he now looks set to leave the Etihad.

      Bravo will link up former Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini at Betis, as his fellow Chilean bids to shore up La Liga’s second-worst defence, according to Goal.
      The Seville outfit conceded 60 goals in 2019-20 as they finished 15th in Spain’s top division.
      Bravo’s arrival at the Benito Villamarin could signal the end for Betis’ current No 1, ex-Wigan and Everton keeper Joel Robles.
      Bravo joined Man City from Barcelona in 2016 for a reported fee of £17million.

      After a difficult first season in Manchester, in which he had the worst save percentage of any goalkeeper in the Premier League with 54.1 per cent, he was replaced by Ederson as Pep Guardiola’s first-choice.

      Despite this, Bravo has played an important role as Ederson’s back-up in the last three seasons with 17 appearances in all competitions this term.
      The former Real Sociedad goalkeeper has been linked with Arsenal, Celtic and New York City FC in recent months but he now appears to be eyeing a move back to La Liga.
      Bravo has travelled with the rest of the Manchester City squad to Lisbon ahead of the Champions League last eight mini-tournament, with City taking on Lyon in the quarter-finals on Saturday night.

      He will remain under house arrest until his scheduled court hearing on August 24.
      According to Paraguayan paper HOY, reported by Marca, Ronaldinho has broke the terms of his arrest by hosting parties in his apartment.
      The source claims that the women are given presents and beverages at the party.
      A source said: “I think they are models because they all have the looks.

      “Those who are known enter directly into the car park, whereas those who are unknown get out in front of the hotel and then a car picks them up.”
      Ronaldinho and his brother Roberto de Assis Moreira were thrown behind bars in March for allegedly trying to enter Paraguay with a fake passport.

      The former Barcelona star spent his 40th birthday in prison, but did celebrate with a huge barbecue.
      After spending 32 days in jail, he was released and put under house arrest until his trial.

      Reports claim the pair were only released after paying a huge £1.3million bond.

      In another snap on Instagram, she wrote: “As you can see, I put a crazy image on my Stories.

      Coutinho could KO parent-club Barcelona for Bayern Munich in Champions League as Uefa WILL allow him to play

      by

      PHILIPPE COUTINHO could knock parent club Barcelona out the Champions League with Bayern Munich.
      The Brazilian playmaker has been on loan with the Bundesliga champions this season and Uefa rules do not allow clauses preventing loanees from playing against the team who owns them.

      Philippe Coutinho could knock parent club Barcelona out the Champions League
      After both teams came through their last-16 ties at the weekend, Barca face Bayern in Lisbon on Friday night for a place in the semi-final.
      And after a disappointing campaign in Germany, the 28-year-old could still come back to bite the Catalan giants.
      Despite coming on as a second-half substitute during Bayern’s last-16 victory over Chelsea on Saturday, Coutinho is unlikely to start.

      He has made just 23 appearances in the Bundesliga this season and whatever happens on Friday, he will have to return to Barca in the summer.

      But the former Liverpool midfielder is not expected to hang around for long.
      Arsenal have been heavily linked with the Brazilian – with reports emerging at the weekend suggesting they have agreed personal terms on a season-long loan.
      He is also said to have visited Arsenal’s London Colney training ground.
      Coutinho’s agent Kia Joorabchian has strong links with the Gunners and has been heavily involved in bringing another of his client’s Willian to the Emirates.

      The ex-Chelsea winger is said to have agreed a £100k-a-week three-year deal.

      Coutinho was linked with Chelsea and is not wanted at Barca, who tried to offload him to Bayern on a permanent deal.
      However, the Bundesliga side were not willing to pay the transfer fee.
      The winners of Friday’s semi will face the victors of Manchester City vs Juventus.

      Lionel Messi sleeps on £900 ‘anti-coronavirus mattress’ that ‘kills Covid-19 in four hours’

      by

      LIONEL MESSI has reportedly taken steps to protect his wife and children from coronavirus with his latest purchase.
      The Barcelona star is said to be among the footballers who have acquired a mattress that claims to remove all traces of Covid-19 in just four hours.

      The Argentine superstar reportedly splashed out £900 on the protective bed
      Multiple Spanish reports claim the 33-year-old now rests his head on Tec Moon’s latest anti-coronavirus mattress.
      The company, which boasts Atletico Madrid star Saul Niguez as an ambassador, also allegedly services Messi’s Argentine team-mate Sergio Aguero’s nighttime needs.
      Supposedly, the £900 mattress’ appeal is that that if an infected person sleeps on it, all traces of coronavirus are removed from the bed.
      The system, called “Viruclean”, apparently uses nanoparticles embedded in the tissues to wipe away over 99 percent of viruses and bacteria.

      Depending on the model, these mattresses also have other functions such as foot massage which would help protect Messi’s nifty feet.

      The six-time Ballon d’Or winner has been very proactive in his efforts to help combat coronavirus in recent months.
      Back in May, Messi donated £440,000 to help the battle against the deadly bug in Argentina.
      The Barcelona skipper also agreed a pay cut on his wage alongside his team-mates at the Nou Camp.
