      Man Utd to confirm transfers for Marc Jurado and Alvaro Fernandez with Barcelona & Real Madrid starlets isolating in UK

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are set to confirm the signings of defenders Marc Jurado and Alvaro Fernandez.
      The Spanish teens will go into the United youth set-up once final clearance is sealed.

      Jurado, 16, is joining from Barcelona while Fernandez, 17, arrives from Real Madrid.
      The pair are understood to be isolating with a local family after moving from Spain as the country is currently on the UK’s two-week quarantine list under Covid-19 guidelines.
      The young duo were snapped in Adidas United training gear on Jurado’s Instagram and the outgoing Barca kid has already changed his Instagram bio to say “Manchester United player”.
      The right-back is thought to have rejected a three-year deal to remain at the Nou Camp and arrives alongside fellow defender Fernandez.

      They will join former Sunderland teenagers Joe Hugill and Logan Pye who made the move to Old Trafford in July.
      Czech goalkeeper Radek Vitek also joined the United youth set-up from Sigma Olomouc.
      United are also signing Tromso forward Isak Hansen-Aaroen, who turned 16 last weekend.
      The Norwegian wonderkid last month became the youngest ever Tromso player, making his debut at the age of 15 years 319 days — United are now awaiting paperwork to complete the deal.

      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has also given a trial to ex-Yeovil Town forward Devon Arnold.
      The 18-year-old bagged a winning goal on debut for United’s Under-23s in a 1-0 win over Stoke on Tuesday.
      If he continues to impress, the Red Devils will be able to snap him up permanently without a transfer fee as he is a free agent.

      Real Madrid plan to flog EIGHT players including Bale and Jovic but James Rodriguez is only outcast who will go quietly

      by

      REAL MADRID reportedly want to offload eight players this summer including Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Luka Jovic.
      But as they look to raise funds having been affected by the coronavirus crisis, they are finding many players are happy to remain at the Bernabeu.

      Mundo Deportivo have released a list of the members of the first team squad Los Blancos want to get rid of.

      And they also report that only Colombian playmaker Rodriuez is willing to leave as he looks for regular game time.
      Here SunSport runs you down the eight players Real are desperate to flog.
      GARETH BALE
      It is understood the Welsh winger – who was frozen out of the side once football restarted – is willing to run his contract down until 2022.

      SunSport have exclusively revealed how Bale remains furious with Real after they blocked his move to Chinese outfit Jiangsu Suning last year.
      And it is understood that he will now only leave Madrid should they pay off his contract.

      JAMES RODRIGUEZ
      The former Monaco magician featured sparingly for Real during the 2019/20 season as he was limited to just 14 games in all competitions.
      Commenting on where he could be playing next term earlier this week, he said: “I still don’t know; Italy, Spain, England.

      “It’s a question that I have and I don’t know, but I do want to go where I can play, where I can be happy and where I feel that I am loved by everyone.
      “[England] would be a good thing, it would be a ‘top’ league.”

      LUKA JOVIC
      The Serbian striker has flopped following his move from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer, as he has scored just two goals in 27 games.
      it has been stated that Real are looking for £28.9million for the forward, but so far clubs are reluctant to pay that price.
      Monaco are believed to be the frontrunners in the race to prise Jovic away from Spain.
      MARIANO
      Another forward that has been limited to hardly no game time, the 27-year-old featured just five times in the Spanish top-flight this year.
      Just like Bale, the ex-Lyon marksman is in no rush to leave the club and is happy with his role in the side, despite Zidane deeming him as not good enough.

      NACHO
      The 30-year-old centre-back appeared in just six LaLiga matches in the previous season as he fell down the pecking order.
      Benfica are said to be trying to persuade the Spanish defender to leave, as they weigh up a £9m offer.
      OSCAR RODRIGUEZ
      The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has been shipped off on loan to Leganes for the last two seasons.
      And even though he chipped in with nine goals and two assists in the 2019/20 term, Real are ready to sell him for £13.5m.
      LUCAS VAZQUEZ
      The 29-year-old has amassed over 200 appearances for Real since breaking into the team during the 2015/16 campaign.
      But his time at the club could finally be at an end with Madrid claimed to have put a £14.4m price tag on him.
      Spurs have been linked with a move for the winger as Jose Mourinho looks to bolster his attack.

      SERGIO REGUILON
      Despite the left-back starring on loan at Sevilla, Real are keen to cash in on him as his stock continues to grow.
      Real already are happy with Marcelo and Ferland Mendy and Zidane doesn’t believe Reguilon fits in his team.
      Arsenal and Chelsea have been linked with a £25m move for the 23-year-old, but it is Napoli that are believed to be winning the race to sign him.

      Cristiano Ronaldo ‘asks Juventus to sign Karim Benzema’ as he eyes transfer reunion with Real Madrid striker

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO wants Karim Benzema to sign for Juventus to reignite the spark of their Real Madrid days, according to reports.
      Despite winning another Scudetto, the summer is expected to involve plenty of turnover for the Bianconeri with Andrea Pirlo replacing Maurizio Sarri as coach.

      Even Serie A MVP Paulo Dybala’s future is up in the air with Ronaldo also potentially available for £54million.
      But La Gazzetta dello Sport claim that improving the frontline is on the agenda with Benzema eyed by his old Real colleague.
      The French forward ended the season in terrific form, guiding Los Blancos to their first LaLiga title without Ronaldo since 2008.
      And although he was unable to singlehandedly push Madrid to more Champions League glory, he comfortably finished as the club’s top scorer with 27 goals.

      Whether Real are ready to let the 32-year-old go is widely doubted with two years left on the striker’s contract.
      But few expected Ronaldo to make the switch to Turin and the pair did enjoy a very productive relationship in Spain, combining for four Champions League crowns and a pair of league titles.

      Juventus’ ability to sign Benzema is also under threat by the coronavirus pandemic.
      Wobbling club finances helped push through the sale of Miralem Pjanic, effectively a swap transfer for Arthur Melo and his cheaper wage packet.

      A new contract for Dybala is also under threat amid reports he wants £260,000-a-week to finally end talk of a transfer away.
      And Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has reportedly been touting his client around in a bid to grab the 35-year-old another Champions League winners’ medal.

      Zinedine Zidane mulls over Real Madrid future while on yacht with family amid fears he could quit this summer

      ZINEDINE ZIDANE has been snapped basking in the Spanish sunshine amid speculation regarding his Real Madrid future.
      The 48-year-old has been pictured on board a yacht with his family in Ibiza as he relaxes following the hectic 2019/20 season.

      It was a mixed season for Los Blancos who won their first LaLiga title since 2017.
      But they then crashed out at the last 16 stage of the Champions League after losing 4-2 on aggregate to Manchester City.
      And Zidane has wasted no time in trying to forget about the disappointing European exit as he went on holiday with his family in Ibiza.
      Along with Zidane, his wife Veronique was pictured on the yacht, along with their sons Luca and Enzo.

      They were also joined by Luca’s girlfriend Marina Muntaner, with the group caught on camera chilling in the Mediterranean Sea.
      But even though Zidane tried to relax, his future remains a talking point after he revealed he doesn’t know what it holds for him.
      Speaking last month, he said: “Nobody knows what’s going to happen in the future.

      James Rodriguez hints at Premier League transfer amid Arsenal interest and hits out at Real Madrid for freezing him out

      by

      JAMES RODRIGUEZ has opened the door to a Premier League move having grown “frustrated” under exile from Real Madrid.
      Joining Gareth Bale in being pushed towards the Bernabeu exit door, Rodriguez appeared only once in LaLiga in 2020 having previously been sent on loan to Bayern Munich.

      1

      Arsenal, along with Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid, are linked with the Colombian and he is ready to contemplate a switch to England.
      James told Daniel Habif’s podcast: “Now there are many things, everything is over now, the virus stopped everything.
      “There are many clubs that do not have so much, in a few days I know where I am going.
      “I still don’t know; Italy, Spain, England. It’s a question that I have and I don’t know, but I do want to go where I can play, where I can be happy and where I feel that I am loved by everyone.

      “I’ve already played in France, I’ve been in several good leagues. Only Italy and the Premier League are missing.
      “I have to see where I want to go or where they want me to go…

      For a Colombian to go to Bayern, Real, France and then the Premier League would be big.
      James Rodriguez

      “[England] would be a good thing, it would be a ‘top’ league.
      “And for a Colombian going to Bayern, Real, France and then the Premier League would be big.

      “I have to see, I place everything in the hands of God so that he can show me the way and give me a lot of wisdom to choose well.”
      Having earned his move to Real Madrid in 2014, the attacking midfielder quickly slipped down the pecking order and was sent on a two-year loan spell with Bayern.
      And a fresh shot at Zinedine Zidane’s team this campaign has not gone well, with just a single goal in 14 matches.
      Rodriguez described his situation as “frustrating”, explaining: “Because I know that I have the conditions for me to be able to play – not a little, to always play.
      “But for other people I cannot do it. And for me it is frustrating because I know that I can be there.
      “I say, ‘If I were bad, I couldn’t play’, then I would stay calm. But no, as I said before, I am a person who always wants to win, always be, for me it is super frustrating.”
      SNOW BOTHER
      That could open the way for a relatively cheap move but James, 29, admits that he has struggled to adapt to other cultures – with Germany’s cold weather a particular issue for the South American.
      He continued: “Although I was treated spectacularly, [Bayern] is a club that loved me a lot, living was not easy, it is cold in -20ºC.
      “There were days when that I would go to work at 9am, I would start the car and when the temperature was at -28ºC. And I would say, ‘What am I doing here? What am I doing here in -28ºC?’.

      “Munich is a city with a high quality of life. But I couldn’t be comfortable… They only think about work, work and work. They are machines. They are incredible.
      “They arrive, ‘Hello, good morning, good morning’, they change, they train and, ‘Goodbye, bye’. Each one with their own life, they train and are ‘little machines’. It’s incredible.
      “When they drink these 5-litre beers, rather, they gulp it all in 25 minutes, it’s incredible…”

      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.

      1

      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.

      Neymar and Mbappe will NEVER leave PSG, claims chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi in transfer blow to Barcelona and Real Madrid

      by

      NEYMAR and Kylian Mbappe will NEVER leave Paris Saint-Germain, according to club chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
      The star pair helped PSG mount an unbelievable late comeback to stun this season’s surprise package Atalanta 2-1 in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday night.

      The French side scored two goals in injury time as strikes from Marquinhos and Stoke flop Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting secured their place in the last four.
      Over 200 fans celebrated the stunning victory back in Paris by letting off flares and chanting in the streets as their team reached the semi-finals for the first time in 25 years.
      And club president Al-Khelaifi was asked about the future of his two most prominent players after the game.
      He told RMC Sport: “Ney[mar], with Kylian [Mbappe], is one of the best players in the world.

      “He’s in the top three.
      “Neymar was the man of the match, he was great.
      “He and Kylian will never leave.
      “They’ll stay with PSG.”

      The news will come as a massive blow to Spanish El Clasico giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.
      Neymar joined PSG for a world record £198million in 2017 but has been consistently linked with a return to the Nou Camp ever since.
      Previous reports suggested the Catalan giants were not hiding the fact they would welcome a return for the Brazilian, who is contracted in Paris until June 2022.
      The player himself even reportedly told pals he wanted a return to Catalonia this summer after hopefully winning the Champions League.
      But Barca have been hit hard by the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
      And president Josep Bartomeu poured cold water on the prospect of breaking the bank to lure the 28-year-old back to Spain.

      He told BeIN Sports: “The financial situation isn’t good. We don’t expect to complete any expensive transfers.
      “And not just us, any side in football. Especially the big teams.”
      Barca’s arch rivals Real Madrid were also linked with a shock move for Neymar with president Florentino Perez apparently dreaming of a move.
      But Los Blancos have been more regularly rumoured to secure a deal for French World Cup winner Mbappe.
      The 21-year-old’s contract runs until the end of the 2021-22 season but Madrid were confident of forcing a sale next summer.
      Mbappe grew up with posters of Cristiano Ronaldo playing for the Galacticos on his wall.
      But last month confirmed he would remain at the Parc des Princes for at least another season.

      2

      Mbappe, who joined in 2017 from Monaco, said: “I just have to say that I’m here, I’m in the project for a fourth year.
      “For everyone, the directors, the supporters. I’m going to keep going, no matter what.
      “I want to help the team win trophies and be the best in the world.”

      Arsenal in Dani Ceballos transfer blow with Real Madrid now ‘wanting to KEEP midfielder in U-turn’ after stunning form

      by

      ARSENAL face losing out on signing Dani Ceballos this summer with a surprise return to Real Madrid now on the cards, according to reports.
      Ceballos starred on loan for the Gunners towards the end of last season, playing a key role in their FA Cup triumph and manager Mikel Arteta had been keen to extend the Spaniard’s stay in North London.

      Real Madrid have decided they want Dani Ceballos back for pre-season
      However, it seems Real Madrid now want the 24-year-old to return to the Spanish capital for pre-season following their Champions League exit to Manchester City.
      Arsenal have been locked in talks with the Madrid hierarchy over the past few weeks with a view to renewing Ceballos’ loan spell but Real have now left the negotiating table.
      Given the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic, the Spanish champions believe Ceballos represents a low-cost option to revitalise their squad.
      The ex-Real Betis midfielder was signed by Los Blancos in 2017 as a long-term replacement for the ageing Luka Modric who, now aged 34, has just one year left on his contract at the Bernabeu.

      According to Spanish newspaper AS, Real manager Zinedine Zidane will run the rule over Ceballos in pre-season before deciding on his future.
      Ceballos is open to a return to Madrid but will demand assurances over playing time as he targets a place in Spain’s squad for the Euros next summer.
      Speaking last month, Arsenal boss Arteta was hoping the Gunners could find an agreement with Real for the Spanish international.
      He said: “Yeah, we are talking to the club.

      “Obviously we don’t own the player, he’s not in our hands so the clubs will need to have a communication and see what we can do. 

      “I’m really happy with him, the way he’s evolving, and I love how much he likes to play football – the passion he puts into every training session and every game, you just have to see his celebrations.
      “I think he’s evolving in the right way and he’s becoming a really important player for us.”
      Ceballos was pictured yesterday wearing a Real Betis shirt while on holiday with pals, leading to speculation he might be eyeing a return to his boyhood club.
