      by

      BRAHIM DIAZ looks set to swap the Bernabeu for the San Siro in a £21.5million move to AC Milan from Real Madrid.The midfielder, who was a Manchester City starlet, will join the Serie A giants on a two-year loan, according to reports.

      Football expert Fabrizio Romano claims the Italian side will have an option to buy the player for £18.7m (22m euros) as part of the temporary deal which runs until 2023.
      It is thought Madrid will have a buy-back clause worth £23.6m (27m euros) as part of the agreement. 
      Diaz, 21, who joined Real Madrid from Manchester City in January 2019, has struggled to cement a place in the LaLiga giants’ starting eleven.
      However, the versatile attacking midfielder has impressed on loan in Italy following a move to Milan in September 2020. 
      The player, who was a star for Spain in the Under-17 European Championships in 2016, racked up seven goals and four assists in 39 Milan appearances last term. 
      And the Malaga-born starlet helped Stefani Pioli’s side to finish second in Italy’s top-flight, twelve points behind champions Inter. 
      Diaz, who has returned to Spain to take part in Madrid’s pre-season, has a permanent contract with the Spanish outfit which runs until June 2025. 
      Goal claims the player will be given Milan’s famous number 10 shirt previously worn by former icons including Ruud Gullit and Clarence Seedorf.
      And it is reported the Rossoneri will cover the midfielder’s wages up to the end of 2022-23 season.

      The player made his senior professional debut for the reigning Prem champs in an EFL Cup clash with Swansea City in September 2016.
      The Spain starlet went on to make 15 appearances for the Etihad giants before sealing a six-year £15.5million switch to Madrid in January 2019.

      Raphael Varane ‘gives Man Utd green light to start transfer negotiations’ after more than a decade at Real Madrid

      by

      RAPHAEL VARANE has reportedly agreed to start talks with Manchester United but only if Real Madrid give him permission.The Frenchman has been heavily linked with the Red Devils for some time but does not want to leave the Bernabeu on bad terms having spent more than a decade there.

      Los Blancos’ wage bill is reportedly set to be slashed by more than a third which has thrown massive doubt over the Frenchman’s future at the club.
      The financial impact of Covid-19 has hit the Spanish giants hard.
      That and a huge stadium rebuild have left Real with mounting debt – and they have not paid a fee for a player for almost two years.
      And as a result their LaLiga wage cap will be reduced from £403million to £255m next season, according to the Athletic.
      That has seen Varane, Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale all have their futures thrown up in the air.
      Some reports suggest United have already started talks with the France international.
      But Mercato say that is not the case and the 28-year-old will not start until Madrid say he can.
      Real are reluctant to sell their French stalwart, but refuse to lose him for nothing when his contract expires next year.

      He is currently still on his summer break, having played for France at Euro 2020. His side were eliminated by Switzerland.
      United’s interest in Varane has been long standing – they were even contenders to sign him before he went to Madrid as a teenager in 2011.
      The Red Devils were also keen to sign him in 2018, but couldn’t get a deal done. Madrid were initially thought to want £80million this summer.
      But due to his contract situation, they are resigned to losing him for a lot less. United are believed to be working on a package worth around £50m.
      And they hope to get the deal concluded ‘in the next few weeks’.
      Varane could be United’s second addition of the summer, after they finally agreed a deal with Dortmund for Jadon Sancho.
      They have also been linked with the likes of Pau Torres, as well as Varane’s compatriots Jules Kounde and Eduardo Camavinga.

      Real Madrid step up ‘Operation Exit’ as they try to offload SEVEN stars, including Bale, to fund Kylian Mbappe transfer

      by

      Los Blancos have been strongly linked with the 22-year-old for some time and are said to be keen on trying to persuade PSG to sell this year.
      There is even talk that Real want Les Parisiens to sign free agent Lionel Messi from Barcelona, paving the way for an Mbappe deal.
      However the coronavirus pandemic and a huge stadium rebuild have left Real with mounting debt – and they have not paid a fee for a player for almost two years.
      Club president Florentino Perez remains a stringent backer of the European Super League, which would have swelled Madrid’s coffers considerably.
      Therefore, while The Athletic claim that players sale are not necessary this summer, funds will need to be brought in if they are serious about Mbappe.
      According to Goal, a number of star names have been earmarked for exits as a result.
      Wales winger Gareth Bale leads the list ahead of his £600,000-a-week contract expiring in 2022.
      Experienced first-teamers Isco and Marcelo are also reportedly up for sale after a quiet season largely spent on the bench.
      Dominican striker Mariano Diaz, once linked with Arsenal, is the fourth player up for grabs having scored just once in 2020-21.
      And Raphael Varane joins the names who Real are ready to wave goodbye to, for the right price.

      Manchester United are said to be very interested in the French centre-back, valued at just over £50million.
      Varane’s contract expires in a year’s time and a free exit is of little use to Real.
      Finally, two more players are described as somewhat insecure over their future.
      Dani Ceballos and Martin Odegaard, both back from loan spells at Arsenal, are set to join up with the squad for the new campaign but Madrid would listen to ‘significant’ offers for either.
      Ceballos’ future will not be sorted until August after he was named in Spain’s squad for the Tokyo Olympics.

      Man Utd target Raphael Varane ‘house hunting in Manchester as Real Madrid star’s transfer edges closer’

      Real Madrid are reluctant to sell their French stalwart, but refuse to lose him for nothing when his contract expires next year.
      United have been in negotiations for some time with the 28-year-old and his representatives.
      A report emerged earlier this week that the two clubs ‘are not far off’ agreeing terms.
      That said, Varane wanted to head straight to Manchester after his summer holidays, rather than have to return to pre-season training in Madrid.
      Now Diario AS claims he has already begun house hunting in the North West.
      The ace is currently still on his summer break after featuring for France at Euro 2020.
      His much-fancied side were eliminated by Switzerland a fortnight ago in the last-16.
      Man United’s interest in Varane has been long standing and they were first keen to sign him before he went to Madrid as a teenager in 2011 from Lens.

      But due to his contract situation, they are resigned to losing him for a lot less.
      United are believed to be working on a package worth around £50m.
      And they hope to get the deal concluded sooner rather than later.
      They are also expected to officially announce the arrival of England winger Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund over the coming days after he completed a medical at Carrington this week.

      Man Utd ‘very interested’ in Raphael Varane transfer in £43m move that could see Real Madrid finally land Kylian Mbappe

      And Real are open to selling as those funds could go towards a deal for Varane’s international teammate Kylian Mbappe.
      United are known to big fans of centre-back Varane.
      The defender has just one year left on his Bernabeu contract.
      And Varane has reportedly told Real he wants to leave for a new adventure.
      United are now thought to be getting closer to a deal, with Carlo Ancelotti’s side ready to sell.
      They have already made moves allowing for Varane’s departure by handing Nacho a new three-year deal.
      David Alaba has also been snapped up on a free transfer from Bayern Munich.
      And Varane could now be set to join former defensive partner Sergio Ramos out of the door at Real.

      ⚽ ENGLAND vs DENMARK BETTING SPECIAL ⚽

      It’s believed Los Blancos are looking for £43million for the centre-back.
      And it’s a fee United are willing to pay, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer already splashing £73m on Borussia Dormtund winger Jadon Sancho.
      The funds banked from Varane’s exit would apparently go into a transfer kitty exclusively for Paris Saint-Germain striker Mbappe.
      The 22-year-old is said to be Real’s ‘dream’ transfer target, even more so than Dortmund’s Erling Haaland.
      And should they collect enough cash from outgoings and saved salaries, Real could launch their audacious move for Mbappe this summer.
      But should PSG price them out of a move, Real are happy to wait until next summer when the forward is out of contract and available for nothing.

      A move to the French capital has long been rumoured and an announcement could finally arrive in the coming days.
      Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reports on Ramos signing a two-year contract following a successful medical.
      Madrid had only offered the defender a one-year stay although it was recently claimed that PSG will be paying him a smaller wage than what was on the table at the Bernabeu.
      Manchester United, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Manchester City had all been linked with the Spaniard.
      But he is set to join fellow former Real star Achraf Hakimi in Paris.
      The full-back completed a £59million move from Inter Milan this week to further bolster Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

      How PSG could line up if they can complete an expensive summer

      AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, available as a free agent after his Rossoneri contract expired, is tipped to follow with PSG having already brought in Georginio Wijnaldum.
      And they may not stop there with Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Pogba also rumoured to be on Les Parisiens’ radar.
      PSG failed to win the Ligue 1 title last season for the first time in four years.
      A shot at finally winning the Champions League is also high on their agenda having reached the final and semi-final in the last two years.

      Carlo Ancelotti ‘calls Richarlison about Real Madrid transfer’ as he tries to bring Everton star with him to Spain

      And an offer could soon be made for Richarlison as Ancelotti looks to rebuild Real for the new season.
      The Italian tactician stunned Everton when he quit last month for a return to the Bernabeu.
      The Toffees have since appointed Rafa Benitez as Ancelotti’s successor at Goodison Park.
      But his exit has fuelled doubts over the futures of some first-team stars.
      Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been linked with Chelsea and Manchester United.
      And James Rodriguez is said to be an AC Milan and Atletico Madrid target.
      Brazil star Richarlison is now being tipped for an exit.
      And it’s Ancelotti who is ready to unsettle his former team by launching a move.

      ⚽ ENGLAND vs DENMARK BETTING SPECIAL ⚽

      The pair are thought to have held several telephone conversations about the possibility of a switch to the Spanish capital.
      Richarlison scored 13 goals in 40 games for Everton last term.
      And Ancelotti feels the forward would be a great squad option, given his ability to play anywhere across the front three.
      Richarlison is currently on international duty, helping Brazil reach this weekend’s Copa America final against fierce rivals Argentina.
      But once he is back in Europe, transfer talks with Real could accelerate.

      Gareth Bale ‘planning to RETIRE from club football but 31-year-old wants to play for Wales at World Cup 2022 still’

      by

      According to the Mirror, the former Southampton man is open to playing for Wales at the World Cup in Qatar in 2022 should they qualify for the tournament that starts in November.
      They also state that Bale has no intention of playing for another team once his £600,000-a-week deal comes to an end in Spain.
      He is said to have told family and friends that Los Blancos will be the last club he competes for.
      With former boss Carlo Ancelotti back in the dugout at Real, Bale believes he will be given more first-team opportunities.
      Bale was frozen out under Zinedine Zidane, resulting in him returning to Tottenham on loan for the 2020-21 campaign.
      He showed flashes of brilliance as he chipped in with 16 goals in 34 games, with 11 of his strikes coming from 20 Premier League outings.
      The forward was asked about his international future following Wales’ Euro 2020 exit at the hands of Denmark.
      After being asked whether it would be his last game, Bale stormed off from his TV interview where he refused to answer the question.

      Following criticism from fans for how he reacted, Bale later vowed to carry on playing for Wales until he stops playing football.
      He told Welsh TV channel S4C: “I want to continue to play.
      “People ask stupid questions all the time, but obviously I love playing for Wales.
      “I’ll play for Wales until the day that I stop playing football.”
      Wales, who haven’t featured in a World Cup since 1958, have three points from their opening two qualifying games in Group E.
      They face Belarus and Estonia in their next two games before pitting their wits against Czech Republic.
