      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.

      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.

      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

      And Osimhen fits their criteria after scoring 25 goals in 29 games this season, including four in the Champions League.
      The Red Devils are leading the race to sign the striker, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
      But the transfer guru claims it could take a Premier League record fee for United to get their man.
      Napoli are reportedly willing to sell Osimhen for a fee in the region of £115-£130million.

      That is a little more than the £107m Chelsea paid to sign Enzo Fernandez in January, which set a new Prem record.
      Di Marzio also reports Paris Saint-Germain could make a move for Osimhen.
      They would likely be able to afford the Nigerian, as would Chelsea who have also been linked.
      Osimhen says he dreams of playing in the Premier League at some stage.

      However, it appears PSG could be set to leapfrog the competition during the international break.
      It is believed transfer guru Luis Campos has arranged a meeting with Osimhen’s representatives.
      And talks are already underway in the background over structuring a potential deal for July.
      PSG are bracing themselves for the possible exit of Lionel Messi, whose contract expires shortly. More

      But Foster will now turn out for Wrexham after the plucky National League side coaxed him back to the beautiful game on a deal until the end of the season.
      The Welsh outfit are top of the table and looking to return to League One.
      Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have pumped millions into restoring Wrexham’s pride on the pitch.
      However, their promotion hopes took a hit this month when No1 Phil Lainton was ruled out for at least six weeks with a knee ligament injury.

      But Wrexham are now set for a huge boost with experienced stopper Foster joining the squad.
      It comes after the goalie revealed earlier this month he had already turned down an approach from Phil Parkinson.

      And it won’t be his first time playing in Wales, with Foster making 21 appearances for Wrexham during a loan from Stoke City in the 2004/05 season.
      Foster said: “I’m over the moon. I’ve been at the Club an hour this morning and it seems a really nice place. Everyone is down to earth and the manager’s top class.

      Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are hoping to win promotion to League Two
      “It’s changed a lot since I was last here, but it’s nice to be back and it’s nice to be back as a player too. It will be interesting to see how my body feels after training today! I’m looking forward to getting started.
      “The first time I was here, it was genuinely the springboard to the rest of my career – on the back of the loan move, playing in the LDV Vans Trophy Final at the Millennium Stadium, I got my move to Manchester United at the start of the next season. It was absolutely bonkers!
      “If you’d told me 18 years ago that I’d have gone on to have the career that I have had, I probably wouldn’t have believed you to be honest so I do owe a lot to Wrexham.”
      New boss Parkinson added: “We’re delighted to welcome Ben to the Club.
      “With Rob Lainton getting injured at the weekend, it was important we had all bases covered going into the last part of the season, which this signing ensures.”
      Foster’s most recent spell came at Watford, where he spent four years before retiring in September.
      The veteran rejected an approach from Newcastle in order to focus on his social media career.
      But Wrexham will be hoping he hasn’t lost his appetite for success as they lead Notts County in the race for automatic promotion to League Two.
      Foster’s stunning career to date has so far spanned 22 years.

      He’s played 535 club games for the likes of West Brom, Watford and Man United.
      Foster also won eight caps for England, with his last game coming in 2014. More
