      Man Utd given Raphael Varane transfer boost as Real Madrid complete David Alaba signing but French star focused on Euros

      by

      RAPHAEL VARANE has insisted his focus is on France’s bid to win the Euros amid talk of a move to Manchester United.The Red Devils are strongly linked with the Real Madrid star as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to bolster his defence.

      A number of factors are at play in Varane’s future, starting with his contract situation.
      With his deal up in 12 months’ time, Real are reportedly ready to cash in if he refuses to commit his future this summer.
      According to ABC, United and Premier League rivals Chelsea can double his current £100,000-a-week wages should he become available.
      And Madrid would expect a transfer fee of around £60million having already reinforced their backline.
      Any movement in the 28-year-old’s future is not likely anytime soon with him determined to focus on France’s Euro 2020 campaign.
      He told reporters: “This is not the time to talk about my future, I am focused on the call-up, on this European Championship.
      “It is normal and logical to ask the question and for my part it is normal and logical to focus on the upcoming deadlines.
      “We are all human beings. We can think about it. As for my individual case, I am focused on the objectives that we have in the France team.

      “It is not a subject that I will discuss every day in my room at Clairefontaine.
      “I am focused on my goal, and now is not the time to discuss it. If I have to talk about it, it will be directly with the people concerned.”
      David Alaba has signed on the dotted line to move from Bayern Munich as a free agent which could serve as a replacement for Varane.
      Also potentially key to his future is Sergio Ramos’ contract situation, with the Real defender’s deal up next month.

      Whoever replaces Zinedine Zidane in the Bernabeu dugout may have an impact on Varane, too.
      Following the French coach’s exit, Castilla boss and club legend Raul, Mauricio Pochettino and Antonio Conte are among the options for the role.
      Another star of France’s Euros bid is also on United’s radar in Jules Kounde.
      The Sevilla star has already opened the door to a move with a number of Prem rivals also keen – but Liverpool are not among them having already landed Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig.

      Real Madrid set to AXE 10 stars in summer cull including ex-Chelsea flop Eden Hazard and Man Utd transfer target Varane

      by

      REAL MADRID are reportedly set to axe TEN players this summer in a huge transfer cull.And there is likely to be no shortage of interest in some of the stars, many who have commanded multi-million pound fees.

      According to Spanish newspaper AS, top of the lists is former Chelsea winger Eden Hazard.
      Big things were expected of the Belgian when Real Madrid when he became the club’s most expensive signing ever at £130million in 2019.
      But the 30-year-old’s time at the Bernabeu has been blighted by injury and fitness concerns, he has played just 40 games in all competitions since joining.
      Defender Raphael Varane, 28, could be following Hazard out the exit door.
      His contract has a year to run and Los Blancos will want to recoup some money for the powerful centre-half.
      Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain have all been linked with what would like be a £40m-plus transfer.
      And the big names don’t end there. Gareth Bale, who also has another year left, will be flogged too. Whether any club can take on his £650,000-a-week wages is another matter entirely.
      The 31-year-old has spent this season on loan at old club Tottenham.

      Luka Jovic, Marco Asensio, Isco, Mariana Diaz and Borja Mayoral are all likely to be available to the highest bidder.
      Dani Ceballos, who is currently on loan at Arsenal, might have stated a desire not to give up on his Real Madrid dreams, but is also likely to be available to move.
      There could even be an emotional goodbye for club legend Marcelo.
      AS reports that the 32-year Brazilian could ‘stop the progression of Miguel Gutierrez’ and he could be persuaded to move on.
      The coronavirus pandemic has decimated Spanish football finances, but Real Madrid will feel slashing some big names out will help them through it.

      Hazard backed by Zidane to transform Madrid career after fan backlash following Chelsea defeat amid transfer speculation

      by

      REAL MADRID manager Zinedine Zidane has backed under-fire star Eden Hazard to turn his career around at the Santiago Bernabeu.Hazard has endured a torrid two-year spell marred by injury at Real ever since his £90million move from Chelsea.

      The forward has only registered a mere four goals and seven assists in 40 appearances across all competitions.
      It all got worse for the Belgium international on Wednesday after Los Blancos’ miserable Champions League elimination to Chelsea, who beat them 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.
      The 30-year-old was caught having a laugh with former team-mate Kurt Zouma after the whistle and was derided by the club’s faithful as well as the Spanish press.
      Hazard has since apologised for the incident but his position at Real is becoming increasingly untenable as Football Espana claim that he is “no longer an untouchable asset” for Zidane’s side.
      Hazard’s numbers at Chelsea and Real Madrid
      The Spanish outlet also suggested that the Belgian could be sold in the summer in order to make way and raise funds for either Borussia Dortmund superstar Erling Haaland or Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe.
      However, Zidane hasn’t given up on Hazard yet and hinted that he still has a future at the club.
      The Real boss said: “Eden Hazard has said sorry about [the Zouma incident] the other day. He did it well, it wasn’t his intention to hurt anyone.
      “That’s the most important thing. Eden is a Real Madrid player and he’ll compete for Real Madrid.

      “He knows what he has to do on the pitch and he’ll do it. We spoke after the game the other day, to say that he would say sorry. That’s all.
      “For me, for the club, for the players, that’s all. It happened and now we have to focus on football.
      “So far we haven’t been able to see the Eden Hazard that people want to see.
      “I think he will get through this. It’s a complicated moment, but he has a contract and he wants to succeed here. I hope that soon he’ll show what he is as a player.”

      Everton ‘want Gareth Bale transfer this summer with Carlo Ancelotti huge fan of Real Madrid winger on loan at Tottenham’

      by

      EVERTON reportedly want to sign Gareth Bale this summer with boss Carlo Ancelotti keen to reunite with the Welshman.Bale is on loan at Tottenham from Real Madrid but has had an indifferent season back in the Premier League with his future up in the air.

      The 31-year-old speedster has been linked with a move to Goodison Park to join up with Ancelotti, who brought him to the Bernabeu in 2013 and coached him for two seasons.
      Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda claims the Italian boss has asked Everton chiefs for Bale as part of his summer transfer plans.
      On TV show El Chiringuito, Inda said: “Ancelotti has asked for Bale, a player he always loved when they were together at Real Madrid.
      “He wants to take him to Everton.”
      Inda claims the Toffees are not prepared to stump up a transfer fee for the former world’s most expensive player.
      Madrid paid Tottenham £86million eight years ago but Everton are said to be hoping to broker a deal similar to the one that brought James Rodriguez to Merseyside.
      The Colombian midfielder left Los Blancos for Everton in September for what was initially reported as a £22m fee.
      However reports emerged from Spain that suggested he had arrived on a free despite having a year left on his contract with Madrid desperate to offload the ace.
      FREE BETS: GET OVER £2,000 IN SIGN UP OFFERS HERE

      In March, Bale revealed he will return to the Spanish capital when his season-long loan ends in June.
      He said: “Going into the Euros I wanted to be match-fit. The original plan was to do a season at Spurs and after the Euros still have a year left at Real Madrid. My plan is to go back, that’s as far I have planned.”
      But since then Jose Mourinho has been sacked and Bale has rediscovered top form under interim boss Ryan Mason, smashing a hat-trick against Sheffield United on Sunday.
      And reports suggest whoever gets the Spurs job on a full-time basis will have first refusal on agreeing another loan switch this summer.

      Spurs currently cough up half of Bale’s mammoth £650,000-a-week Madrid wages.
      The astronomical salary expectations of the Welshman could also dent any chances of a move to Everton despite the club looking for a right winger.
      Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is not believed to see a future for Bale in his squad and the former Southampton man could be left in limbo if clubs are priced out a move.
      It is believed he would be prepared to sit on the bench in LaLiga to collect the wages that are owed to him with his contract still set to run until 2022.
      Bale has scored 14 goals and notched three assists in 30 games in all competitions for Spurs this season.

      Real Madrid ‘to complete Erling Haaland transfer NEXT SUMMER as Norwegian agrees to stay at Dortmund another season’

      Manchester United and City, Chelsea and Barcelona are all believed to have the 20-year-old at the top of their transfer wishlist.
      But according to AS, it is Real Madrid who have won the race for the free-scoring sensation.
      The Spanish newspaper reports that the club’s plan is to ‘bring Erling Haaland to the new Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2022, with the initial focus on ensuring Kylian Mbappe comes in first’.
      The PSG forward is another to be linked heavily with a switch to Los Blancos, and the French giants missing out on Champions League glory again could force his hand.
      Haaland has told Dortmund that he will stay for at least one more season, with director Sebastian Khel tellling Sky Germany that he is ‘in total agreement’ and ‘identifies completely with the club’.
      The Norwegian international as a £65m release clause that will kick in next summer, with many believing his club would look to cash in for over double that this summer.
      Rumours of a potential big-money exit were ignited recently when his agent Mino Raiola and father embarked on a tour of Europe and met with several clubs to discuss his future.
      But Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke told Sport1: “I’ve known Raiola for a long time and get along well with him. It’s no problem for us.

      “Erling Haaland will remain a Borussia Dortmund player next year.”
      According to recent reports, Manchester United made Haaland their No1 target – but also want to wait until the £65m release clause kicks in.
      According to Eurosport, club chiefs including director John Murtough have determined they will go all out to land Haaland.
      Haaland is the top scorer in this season’s Champions League with ten goals and has an impressive tally of 37 in 38 matches in all competitions.

      Real Madrid CAN afford £154m Erling Haaland transfer this summer, according to Mino Raiola despite chief Perez’s claims

      by

      A DEAL between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund for £154m-rated Erling Haaland CAN be done this summer, according to Mino Raiola.The striker’s agent has dismissed Florentino Perez’s concerns over the finances of the deal – claiming the club cannot afford NOT to sign him.

      The collapse of the European Super League led to the Real chief voicing his concern over Los Blancos’ ability to sign big-name players such as Haaland.
      But Madrid have not bought any players in over a year and Raiola opened the door to a move to the Spanish capital or Barcelona.
      The 53-year-old told AS: “I don’t know [if Real can afford Haaland], because I haven’t studied their finances.
      “But I believe so, yes. I think everyone can afford him.
      “But the question is this: can Madrid afford not to buy Haaland? And the same for Barcelona?
      “It’s difficult but not impossible [for Barcelona].
      “That is the job of a club president. It is the same for the clubs as it is for the players.
      “A train passes by and what do you do? You take it or you don’t take it. And that’s the big question.”
      BETTING SPECIAL – 80/1 FOR A PENALTY FOR EITHER SIDE
      When a club like Barcelona or Madrid arrives, with so much history, it is difficult to say no. Mino Raiola
      Raiola has accepted that Borussia do not want to sell 20-year-old Haaland, who has hit 37 goals this season.
      But a reported £154million deal could be done if the right opportunity ‘presents itself’ with Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Manchester City named as potential destinations.
      The agent said: “[Not selling] is the official position of Dortmund.
      “But I have another position, I think that if a good opportunity presents itself and everyone is happy, we will put it on the table.”
      He added: “Haaland is interested in two things: scoring goals, because he is like a Cristiano [Ronaldo] or a Zlatan [Ibrahimovic], he has that positive obsession; and winning titles.
      “And he will choose, surely, where those two things will likely happen most often.

      “It is very difficult to lie. When a club like Barcelona or Madrid arrives, with so much history, it is difficult to say no.
      “PSG are entering this group of greats, City are trying to get there, Juve have always been there.
      “The championship they play in also matters. PSG play in the worst league of the greats. Bayern are already in an attractive league, but we know that they always win it. In Spain there are three [clubs] with a chance.”
      Perez’s concerns that the doomed European Super League breakaway will damage Madrid’s market prospects also left Raiola baffled.
      Far from viewing the project as a terrible idea, he instead believed it would be a ‘wonderful experiment’ if it co-existed with the Champions League.
      Raiola explained: “Ferrari can race one car in Formula One and another in LeMans.
      “Why can’t Madrid play in the Champions League and also in the Super League? It would be the most wonderful experiment in football.
      “Have two tournaments, the Champions League and Super League. And let the general public decide which one they like best.

      “I watched the protests in the street with disbelief. They were protests against something that had not yet been explained.
      “They protested against the feeling of a closed competition. But the Super League would not be forced upon them?
      “If you hate it, don’t buy the rights or pay to see it. If you want to see it… go ahead. But the key is the word ‘also’.”

      Man Utd and Chelsea in Lucas Vazquez transfer blow as Real Madrid offer him bumper new £84k-a-week contract

      by

      The coronavirus pandemic and expensive Bernabeu revamp initially led to talk of his existing £60,000-a-week contract being offered again, only with a ten per cent pay cut due to the circumstances.
      However, Spanish outlet AS now report of a fresh proposal worth £84,000-a-week.
      It is said Vazquez wants to stay in Madrid having come through the club’s famed La Fabrica academy to make his debut in 2015.
      Since then, he has become a vital option on the right side of midfield and defence for Zinedine Zidane, playing 34 times this season.
      Interest was reportedly strong from both United and Chelsea as they look to formulate a Premier League title bid next campaign.
      Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Everton were also named in gossip column rumours.

      But all signs now point to Vazquez putting pen to paper on a three-year deal with Real, which also includes the option of a further season.
      He declared in a pre-match press conference last month: “What I concentrate on is the present.
      “I’m really enjoying myself this season because I’m playing and that’s what makes me happy.
      “I was and will always be a Real Madrid man.”

      Los Blancos are also targeting a new deal for captain Sergio Ramos.
      The centre-back is reportedly tussling over his future with the offer of a one-year extension on the table before his deal runs out next month.
