      Real Madrid are also thought to be keen, with Veiga understood to have a £35million release clause.
      Etihad chief Pep Guardiola has one eye on strengthening in midfield.
      That’s partly because City duo Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva face uncertain futures in the summer 
      And Celta president Carlos Mourino accepts holding onto Veiga is virtually impossible – not least financially.

      He also revealed that at least four Premier League clubs are seriously interested.
      Mourino said: “We want to keep Gabri Veiga but it will be impossible due to his release clause.
      “We don’t want to sell, but they are going to buy him from us. And we can’t do anything there.
      “We know some of his offers and it is impossible to reach them.

      “Of the top 10 in the Premier League, four have asked about him.” More

      Sides such as Chelsea, Man City, Man United, Liverpool and Real Madrid have all been credited with an interest in the midfielder.
      However, they could all be set for disappointment in their pursuit of Bellingham as Dortmund are determined to keep him at Signal Iduna Park.
      According to the German media outlet Bild, Dortmund are hoping to keep hold of him for one more season.
      The club are planning to offer him a new contract that would see his salary increase by 150 per cent up to £13million for the year.

      The outlet also claims that his contract would include a release clause of £131m.
      This would allow the 19-year-old to leave the club to potential buyers while also guaranteeing the Bundesliga side a large transfer fee.
      This means that interested clubs would have to wait another year to sign the former Birmingham City prospect.
      The report suggests that Real Madrid are currently the favourites to sign Bellingham.

      The LaLiga side are looking for replacements for veteran duo Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, with both contracts expiring at the end of the current season.
      However, Dortmund could be boosted in their hopes of keeping Bellingham should the veterans sign new deals at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. More

      Tottenham under pressure from Real Madrid to appoint Nagelsmann with Spanish side approaching ex-Bayern boss years ago

      by

      TOTTENHAM could have competition in the race for Julian Nagelsmann as it emerges that Real Madrid are reportedly big admirers of the boss. A managerial merry-go round appears to have been sparked in Europe in recent days after Bayern Munich surprisingly sacked their manager and replaced him with Thomas Tuchel.
      It ended unhappily for Nagelsmann at Bayern – and his sacking could spark a frenzied manager hunt in EuropeCredit: Getty
      The development came as Spurs finally parted company with Conte on Sunday evening.
      Meanwhile, speculation continues to link Ancelotti with the Brazilian international job.
      If Spurs are considering Nagelsmann as Conte’s replacement, it appears possible that Madrid may be in the hunt as well.
      The Times reports that Spurs “might have to move fast” to land the highly-rated coach.
      READ MORE ON TOTTENHAM
      The 35-year-old coach was on the radar of Real Madrid after they sacked Julen Lopetegui in 2018 but Nagelsmann remain focused on Hoffenheim, the German club where he made his name as a coach.
      He said in 2021: “I received a call, 2 years ago, from Real Madrid, they wanted to know me and my philosophy better. If they call me again in the future, the decision might be different.
      “Back then, I didn’t have time to prepare, learn Spanish and lacked the experience.”

      Nagelsmann is one of the many names who has been linked to Tottenham.

      The German reportedly owns a replica of the club shirt and is an admirer of the club.
      And it may not just be Madrid that Spurs have to compete with if they do go for the coach.
      Following their last-16 Champions League exit, Christophe Galtier is believed to be under pressure at PSG.
      While Simone Inzaghi of Inter Milan and AC Milan’s Stefano Pioli are both under pressure in Italy after underwhelming seasons.
      Cristian Stellini has been given the Spurs job until the end of the season. More

      Man Utd transfer blow as Real Madrid set to offer Camavinga new contract with eye-watering release clause

      by

      Madrid want a reported £115million for the six-cap French international, with United willing to break their club record to sign him.
      However, Los Blancos have made a bold move in their attempt to lock down Camavinga, which could jeopardise United chances of pinching the player.
      According to The Athletic, the Spanish team have responded to United’s moves by offering the Frenchman a potential €1billion (£874million) release clause.
      The club had also given this to Eder Militao, Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior last summer. 
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      The new release clause would make it almost impossible for Ten Hag’s team to secure Camavinga, even with the sale of the club looming.
      Camavinga has played a key role within Real Madrid, who are preparing for major changes with veteran duo Luka Modric and Toni Kroos both potentially leaving this summer.
      He has seen massive success with the Spanish club, winning both LaLiga and the Champions League in the last year.
      The midfielder also helped in France’s bid for the World Cup in December, and has just joined the national squad for their matches during this month’s break.

      This success has made him a key target for clubs including Man Utd.
      United have also been targeting Frenkie de Jong and possibly a new goalkeeper as David De Gea’s contract runs down.
      The Red Devils have also prioritised looking for a new forward for the summer, with Harry Kane, Tammy Abraham and Victor Osimhen heavily linked with the club.
      However, if plans to sell the club fall through these manoeuvrings may end up falling through.
      Madrid face Valladolid next weekend in their next match in LaLiga, and Chelsea in the quarter-final of the Champions League on April 12. More

      Ex-Arsenal star Mesut Ozil snubbed Barcelona for Real Madrid thanks to ‘disappointing’ Pep Guardiola

      by

      MESUT OZIL has revealed that a “disappointing” experience with Pep Guardiola led to him snubbing Barcelona in favour of Real Madrid.The former Arsenal winger announced he is hanging up his boots at the age of 34 on Thursday.

      Ozil decided to call time on his career midway through Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir’s season.
      He thanked all of the clubs he played for, including the Gunners and Real Madrid, but admitted that injuries in recent months had taken their toll.
      Ozil’s retirement brings to an end a career stacked with trophies, with the playmaker once regarded as the best No10 in world football.
      Bursting onto the scene with Schalke in 2006, Ozil became a certified Bundesliga star when he joined Werder Bremen in 2008.
      READ MORE ON ARSENAL
      But it was his epic performances for Germany at the 2010 World Cup which secured a £13million move to Real Madrid that same summer.
      However, it could all have been very different if the then Barcelona manager Guardiola had made a bit more effort to meet him.
      Speaking to Marca about his exit from Werder Bremen, he revealed: “That was a decision between Real Madrid and Barcelona. And in the end it was not a matter of money.
      “I don’t know if this is known, but I visited Madrid and Barcelona at that time and the difference was Jose Mourinho.

      “Mou gave me a VIP visit to Real Madrid. He took me to see the stadium and all the trophies they had won. That gave me goosebumps.
      “The visit in Barcelona was less enthusiastic and what was more disappointing is that Pep Guardiola didn’t bother to meet me.
      “Before that trip I really liked Barcelona’s style of football and I could really imagine playing with them, but Madrid went all out.
      “So Jose Mourinho was without a doubt the most important factor in my decision. After my visits, my decision was one hundred percent clear: I wanted to be a Madridista.”
      Ozil won the LaLiga crown and the Copa del Rey during his time in the Spanish capital before Arsenal came calling.
      The Gunners paid £42.5m for Ozil in 2013, with him quickly becoming an Emirates cult hero.
      Ozil ended up with 44 goals in 254 for Arsenal, winning an incredible three FA Cups in four years.
      And it was during this time that he lifted the World Cup with Germany at Brazil 2014.
      But back at Arsenal, Ozil started to find his minutes limited under Unai Emery and Mikel Arteta following Arsene Wenger’s exit.
      And Ozil eventually moved to Turkey with Fenerbahce in January 2021 after having his contract terminated.

      Ozil lasted 18 months with the Istanbul giants before joining city rivals Basaksehir last summer.
      But he failed to score in just eight appearances for his new side before calling time on his career, last playing in a Super Lig defeat to Kayserispor on February 2.

      by

      REAL MADRID are certain Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland will join them in 2024 on a world record deal, reports suggest.Haaland has set the Premier League alight on his debut season with City as he has scored a staggering 42 goals and bagged five assists in 37 appearances across all competitions.
      Real Madrid are confident they will sign Manchester City star Erling Haaland in 2024Credit: Getty
      The star striker joined the reigning Prem champions last summer following a £51million deal with Borussia Dortmund, despite interest from some of Europe’s biggest hitters like Real.
      According to AS, however, Los Blancos are planning to reignite their bid for the Norway international and are confident they will have their man by next year.
      In fact, the Madrid giants are planning a world record offer in the range of £200m, which will eclipse Neymar’s £198m move to Paris Saint-Germain back in 2017.
      The reigning European champions are confident the 22-year-old has a release clause, which activates every year from 2024 until his contract ends in 2027 despite City denying it.

      Carlo Ancelotti’s side plans to stay in touch with the Norwegian’s camp until next year in order to be in pole position when the time comes to swoop in.
      Real also believe Haaland can still leave the Etihad even if manager Pep Guardiola, who played an integral part in his signing, stays in Manchester.
      The Spanish champions have major plans for the coming years as they will move for the ex-Red Bull Salzburg star even if they get PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe.
      Real are planning to form a Galacticos-type trio to spearhead their attack consisted of Haaland, Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

      By the time they move for the two star strikers it is highly likely top earners like Karim Benzema, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Eden Hazard will be gone.
      That means they will free up at least €50m (£44m) per year in wages and will be able to meet Haaland and Mbappe’s financial demands.
      The two centre-forwards are seen as leaders that will take Real to the new era. More

      Ex-Real Madrid star Isco unemployed and training at home after snubbing multiple transfer offers

      by

      EX-REAL MADRID star Isco has found himself unemployed and training on his own AT HOME.According to The Athletic, the attacking midfielder became a free agent in January after falling out with Sevilla’s director of football Monchi.

      The former Spain international came close to a move to Union Berlin and flew to Germany where he passed his medical but circumstances changed at the eleventh hour.
      Isco initially wanted to join the MLS but any interested club would have had to make him a designated player in order to pay him something close to what he earned in Europe.
      Now he is without a club and training at home with the help of a personal trainer at the age of 30.
      It is quite a fall from grace for the ex-Malaga protege, who joined Real in 2013 as Carlo Ancelotti’s first signing.
      Read More on Football
      The playmaker hit the ground running and went on to win four Champions League titles, while his performances earned interest from Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City and even Barcelona.
      That led to a new deal in 2017, which included a release clause worth a whopping €700million (£619m).
      However, Isco quickly fell out of favour as Real stopped using attacking midfielders.
      It all started when Santiago Solari took over from Julen Lopetegui in 2018.
      Most read in Football
      Solari preferred to use young players like Vinicius Jr and Federico Valverde instead of stars with big contracts, such as Isco.
      The Spaniard had a public fallout with Solari, who then excluded him from his plans.
      Things didn’t improve upon Zinedine Zidane’s return and the situation remained the same when Ancelotti came back.
      Real tried to get his high salary off the payroll with a move to AC Milan in 2021 but the player wasn’t happy with the wage cut.

      That led him last year to Sevilla under Lopetegui, who urged the club to sign him despite transfer guru Monchi’s disapproval.
      However, the Spanish tactician was sacked and joined Wolves, while his successor Jorge Sampaoli quickly realised Isco doesn’t fit the team and would be preferable to get his lucrative wages off the books.
      And upon his departure from Sevilla, Monchi stated publicly it had been “a mistake” to sign him and “it would have been a further mistake to continue with the error” by not ending their relationship in January.
      Isco has received offer from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Turkey, while it seems like there is also interest from LaLiga. More
