      Fan favourite Bruno, 24, is loving life on Tyneside but has made it clear he expects Champions League football soon. 
      And Magpies transfer chief Dan Ashworth said: “I absolutely do not want to sell Bruno. 
      “He is a top player and a really important part of the journey. 
      “But, at some stage, you have to trade as one of the things around Financial Fair Play.

      “We have to be able to generate some money to reinvest and go again. 
      “You can never control when a club or an opportunity comes knocking for a player that maybe has an aspiration they have always wanted to do. 
      “It might be a certain city in the world, it might be a club or it might be a country. 
      “I can’t lie and say we’ll never have to sell a player and that we’ll always be able to hold onto our top talent.

      “You have to sometimes make a pragmatic decision and go, ‘Okay, we’ll do that because that’s a way of reinvesting in the football club’. 
      “Ultimately, at what level do you sell him?”
      Newcastle have jumped from 19th to sixth over 12 months of Saudi ownership, spending more than £200m on transfers along the way. 
      And Ashworth knows breaking into the Champions League is key for the Magpies to be able to keep their best players. 
      He added: “As a rule of thumb, I would like to think we’ll be able to hold onto our top talent in order to drive our ambitions for driving up the league and competing for cups. 
      “The Premier League is the most attractive league in the world. 
      “That gives you a fantastic start and if you are playing in Europe and you have the size and aspiration, it’s possible.”  More

      The switch came after the Belgium international gave the ball away on multiple occassions during their Champions League visit to Shakhtar Donetsk..
      AS report that Hazard was jeered by Los Blancos supporters as he was substituted in the 57th minute.
      Carlo Ancelotti turned to his assistant coach – his son, Davide – and demanded that Vinicius Jr warm up to replace Hazard.
      The ex-Prem playmaker has suffered a host of injury issues since joining Madrid from the Blues for £88.5million back in 2019.

      This was supposed to finally be a positive season for the attacker after he impressed Real bosses by turning up to pre-season in peak condition.
      But he has appeared in just three of Madrid’s eight LaLiga matches so far this season, starting in only one.
      The diminutive maestro started his country’s Nations League clash with Wales last month as they edged to a 2-1 victory.
      And his status as a benchwarmer for Ancelotti’s side is something which has him worried less than two months out from the World Cup in Qatar.

      Speaking to Spanish media, he said: “There have been difficult times because I want to play and I don’t play.
      “I feel good at Real Madrid, I just play less. And when I play, I play well. It’s a delicate situation because I want to play more.
      “I know what I can do when I play.
      “I want to play the maximum number of minutes and get to the World Cup in shape.”
      Although boss Ancelotti doesn’t agree with Hazard on the standard of his performances.
      He said: “Eden hasn’t had to speak to me because he knows the situation, that there’s a lot of competition. I think his situation is quite clear.” More

      Here, SunSport takes a look at the five clubs who could sign Mbappe
      Real Madrid
      The Spanish giants were heavily linked with a move for the 23-year-old when his contract was about to expire in June, but Mbappe decided against moving to the Bernabeu.
      Pundit Jan Aage Fjortoft now claims Mbappe is set to join Real after agreeing a deal in secret with the club.
      He could join up after the World Cup despite PSG’s uneasy relationship with Real Madrid after they tapped up Mbappe for several months.
      Liverpool
      A report from Spain has claimed the only chance Mbappe can leave in January is if Liverpool make a move.

      Liverpool have previously been linked to Mbappe and Jurgen Klopp has made no attempt to hide his admiration for the player.
      Mbappe will command a huge transfer fee however and that could dent the Reds’ hopes of completing a deal.
      Chelsea
      Instead, Chelsea could pounce with Todd Boehly keen on landing a big name – having previously targeted Cristiano Ronaldo.
      Mbappe has experience of the Blues having trained with the club when he was a kid.
      He even played in a 6-0 friendly win over Charlton and admitted he enjoyed his experience in London.
      Manchester United
      Manchester United could also try and sign Mbappe though their chances of luring the frontman to Old Trafford are slim since they cannot offer him Champions League football.
      The Red Devils were said to be keeping an eye on Mbappe’s situation prior to the forward penning a new contract.
      The club were reportedly happy to bid their time and wait for Mbappe to become available, and it seems to have happened sooner than anticipated.
      Manchester City
      The English champions are one of the few clubs who would be able to afford Mbappe’s massive wages and transfer fee.
      The chance to work with the likes of Pep Guardiola, Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne would likely appeal to Mbappe, as would the fact the Citizens are one of the favourites to win the Champions League. More

      Campos’ reasoning for a potentially departure is due to conflict with president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and Antero Henrique.

      by

      Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and champions Manchester City are all eyeing the 19-year-old.
      But Madrid believe they are in pole position to persuade Dortmund to agree a deal ahead of a move at the end of the season.
      The Bernabeu hierarchy see Bellingham’s arrival completing the overhaul of their midfield engine room.
      Real, who sold Brazilian Casemiro to Manchester United in August, know that time is running out for Luka Modric, 37, and 32-year-old Toni Kroos.

      But having already recruited French duo Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni, Madrid think England ace Bellingham would be the perfect third piece in that central jigsaw.
      Madrid have leaked their determination and interest to the big Spanish sports newspapers, with Marca splashing a picture of Bellingham on their front page yesterday.
      It was the clearest sign that Real are pushing hard and the club is briefing that conversations between the two clubs have now started.
      But that will be a body-blow for the Prem sides who have been equally keen to bring Bellingham back to England after seeing the box-to-box livewire live up to all his billing in the Bundesliga.

      Bellingham, who quit Brum for Dortmund in 2020, is expected to be in England’s starting XI at next month’s World Cup, where his profile could go even higher.
      His latest man-of-the-match masterclass, with a superb run and finish in Dortmund’s 4-1 Champions League win at Sevilla on Wednesday, was further evidence of why he is so highly prized.
      While Dortmund kept him last summer by putting a £115m valuation on his back, it is anticipated that they will be more likely to accept a lower offer next year.
      But Real’s early move means the Prem sides will have to blow any Real bid out of the water to have a chance of persuading Bellingham that his future lies in England and not LaLiga.

      The Borussia Dortmund and England sensation, 19, has dazzled for club and country since moving to Germany in 2020.
      Bellingham became the youngest Bundesliga captain ever this week and followed that up by breaking two Champions League records with his double against Sevilla.
      And with the midfielder set to start for the Three Lions at the World Cup, clubs are keen to get a deal done before he stars on the global stage.
      According to Bild in Germany, Graham Potter and Pep Guardiola are in pole position to add Bellingham to their squads – ahead of Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool and Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid.

      And that would make Erling Haaland ever happier because the goal-machine striker wants to be reunited with Bellingham at the Etihad after their time together in Germany.
      But according to Marca, the initial conversations between Real and Bellingham’s representatives are underway to discuss the specific numbers of Bellingham’s contract – a year after the first talks between the two camps.
      The report adds Real Madrid chiefs are “increasingly convinced” they will secure a deal.
      The Spanish champions and their English rivals are understood to have the financial ability to pay Dortmund up to £88m for Bellingham.

      Real Madrid have snapped up two of Europe’s best young central midfielders in the last two summers in Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni.
      But they are desperate to complete a stunning hat-trick by adding Bellingham to their ranks in a complete overhaul from the Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro era at the Bernabeu.
      Los Blancos chiefs are hopeful the trio of youngsters could form a successful partnership for the next decade.
      But Premier League giants Chelsea and Manchester City are still confident of securing Bellingham, leaving Manchester United and Liverpool way back in the race.
      The English rivals have all been circling for the former Birmingham City academy talent.
