      Real Madrid rumoured to be keen on Manchester City ace Hayley Raso according to reports

      by

      It is claimed the club, who are currently third in the women’s top-flight in Spain, are looking to create a more competitive squad to strengthen their push to win silverware. 
      And it is thought the club have identified Raso as a potential target with her current City contract reportedly set to expire this summer.
      Speculation comes six months on from Madrid, signing former City forward Caroline Weir.
      The Scotland star has netted seven goals in 15 top tier and Champions League appearances this term.

      Marca say Madrid have nine players in their senior squad whose contracts are due to expire at the end of June. 
      They include 30-year-old forward Esther Gonzalez who notched up 14 goals in 27 top-flight appearances last season. 
      And Marca claim Real, who knocked the Citizens out of the Champions League earlier this season, could look to swoop for the Raso in the summer.
      Last term Raso, who won the 2017 NWSL Championship with former club Portland Thorns, made 13 WSL appearances for Gareth Taylor’s side.

      However the versatile forward, who won league titles in Australia with Brisbane Roar and Canberra United, has so far played in seven top-flight games for City this season. 
      And the WSL ace has come off the bench as a substitute in six of those games. 
      Raso has netted nine times in 20 WSL appearances for City since her August 2021 move from Everton.

      The forward, who began her senior playing career at Australian side Canberra United, joined the club on a two-year deal.
      Since her move Raso helped City, who are fourth and play West Ham in the WSL on January 15, to a league cup trophy win last March.
      And her 89th minute equaliser helped the club take last year’s FA Cup final into extra time before they were beaten 3-2 by Chelsea at Wembley.  More

      Since joining Dortmund in 2020 from Birmingham, Bellingham has only seen his reputation grow.
      AS report the German club have now requested the teen and his representatives – including his dad Mark who is also his agent – join them for crunch talks in the coming days to decide his future.
      Dortmund are believed to want to know what Bellingham intends to do in the summer.
      It follows a similar strategy used with Erling Haaland when the superstar striker was also a Dortmund player and being courted by several clubs.

      On that occasion, BVB held January talks with the Norwegian hitman before letting him depart for Manchester City.
      The club have very low hopes of retaining Bellingham, according to AS, as major clubs circle around the midfielder.
      Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool are among the club who have been linked with the Englishman.
      Real Madrid are also believed to be in the hunt and it is speculated they are willing to go close to £90m for him.

      But City are determined to hijack any deal and reunite Bellingham with former teammate Haaland.
      Sources at the club are confident that the chance to work with Pep Guardiola could swing the deal in City’s favour.
      Meanwhile, the Chelsea and Liverpool ownerships have shown a willingness to spend big to land their key targets.
      Bellingham’s standing grew even further after his riveting performances at the World Cup.
      The midfield ace frequently ran the show for England with his lung-busting runs and progressive play.
      Meanwhile for Dortmund this season, Bellingham has nine goals in 22 games so far including four strikes in the Champions League. More

      Mbappe is under contract until 2024 and Gazzetta.it reckon any move would total one billion euros over four years – about £877million.
      That includes close to £552m in wages and a transfer fee of around £132m, plus signing-on fees and commission.
      Real president Florentino Perez is still keen on Mbappe, despite surprisingly missing out on him last summer.
      The pacy striker, who was 24 on Tuesday, won the Golden Boot in Qatar with eight goals.

      And Real Madrid legend Guti turned up the pressure on Perez to deliver.
      The ex-Spain midfielder insists the Bernabeu needs Mbappe – and he needs them.
      Guti said: “The best have to stay at Real Madrid. 
      “Seeing him play for PSG makes me angry, and not only for Real but also for La Liga.

      “La Liga must always have the best in the world. 
      “Mbappe is a player made for Real, and then if he wants to do what Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have done, he has to play for Real Madrid because he won’t make it for PSG. 
      “Madrid must go and get him immediately, now. 
      “There are good players on the market, but none like him. Yes, Haaland maybe, but a step below. Mbappe, he is unique. 
      “Only he can give what Messi gave to Barcelona or Ronaldo to Madrid. Nobody else.”
      Messi’s double helped Argentina lift the World Cup last Sunday, but unlucky loser Mbappe seems sure to shatter more records at the top level.
      He helped France win the trophy in 2018 and now has 12 goals in 14 games from just two tournaments.
