Barcelona close in on Rabiot

Ad

Barcelona are in the market for a midfielder and have set their sights on PSG’s Adrien Rabiot. Rabiot has long been linked with an exit, with a lack of playing time forcing him to consider his options.

Ad

Rabiot’s contract expires in the summer, and the Ligue 1 champions are keen to offload him in January rather than lose him for free in the summer.

CalcioMercato claim that Barcelona are close to finalising a January move for the youngster, but they will face stiff competition from the likes of Manchester City and Juventus.

Lionel Messi open to Serie A move

Five-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi could be set to reignite his feud with Cristiano Ronaldo, but this time in the Serie A. FIFA agent Alessio Sundas is reportedly holding talks with Messi, his father and Barcelona’s general manager regarding a potential switch to Italy for the Argentine ace.

Sundas explained that while Messi rejected the proposition in the past, he has now softened his stance and is open to the idea.

“Initially, my idea was to propose the deal to Napoli because I think that Messi is the only one able to approach and, in some way, revive the myth of Maradona. It would be a stimulating challenge. However, this operation with Napoli is not easy at all.

“Not all the clubs can afford a player like Leo, and with AC Milan struggling with the UEFA sanctions, I believe that Inter remain the only reliable club, both in economic and technical terms. Bringing Messi to Inter would mean to place the unique market transfer capable of equalizing the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus,” Sundas told Radio Goal 24.

Real Madrid plot Eriksen-Asensio summer swap

According to Don Balon, Real Madrid target Christian Eriksen is primed for a Tottenham exit. The Danish midfielder is looking for a way out in the summer, which has forced Tottenham to consider offloading him.

Madrid remain the favourites to land his signature; however, Spurs will only enter into negotiations with Los Blancos if Marco Asensio is also thrown into the deal.

Spurs value Eriksen at €150M, slightly more than the price tag Madrid slapped on Asensio this past summer.

Rivaldo wants Isco at Barcelona

Barcelona legend Rivaldo has urged his former club to make a move for wantaway Real Madrid midfielder Isco, who he believes will be a perfect fit at the Camp Nou.

"If you ask me if I would like to see Isco in Barcelona, I would say yes. He is an excellent player, and I think both the club and the player could do with it,” Rivaldo said to Betfair.

“Anyway, it is a complicated proposal, it is difficult to imagine two great rivals negotiating the transfer of a player,” he added.

Eden Hazard issues an ultimatum

Chelsea superstar Eden Hazard has been widely tipped to complete a move to Real Madrid next summer.

The Belgian has repeatedly expressed his desire to represent Los Blancos, conceding that it is a dream for him to pull on the whites of Madrid.

However, according to Don Balon, he is unwilling to complete a move to Madrid while Santiago Solari is still in charge.

Solari was roped in as Julen Lopetegui’s replacement after the latter was sacked following the Clasico debacle, and he has endured a mixed start to his managerial tenure. While he looked to have steadied the ship initially, a calamitous defeat to CSKA Moscow in the Champions League has opened up all the old wounds.

Hazard is wary of leaving a club of Chelsea’s magnitude to play under such an inexperienced coach and has issued Madrid an ultimatum telling them he will only join them if they get rid of Solari.
