Chelsea want James Rodriguez
Antonio Conte has been linked with a £75 million move for Real Madrid’s Colombian star, James Rodriguez. James is unhappy with his situation at Real and in an interview on Friday, he said that he could not give any guarantees about his future at Real Madrid.
Conte’s all-conquering Chelsea side will be even stronger with the Colombian’s arrival, but he will probably be only a backup option initially. The Italian manager will look to add James as a replacement for Oscar.
Oscar is said to be leaving Stamford Bridge for Shanghai Shenhua in a move reportedly worth £60 million.
Everton to get rid of Barkley in favour of Man United duo
The Sunday Express are reporting that Everton are willing to let their star young midfielder leave for around £30 million in the January transfer window as they look to create the space for Memphis Depay and Morgan Schneiderlin in their squad.
Both Memphis and Schneiderlin have barely featured for Jose Mourinho this season and will be looking for a move to revitalise their careers. Recently, various news outlets linked Barkley with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Arsenal set to revive Isco interest
Arsene Wenger is looking to Spain and to the Bernabeu to add a little more firepower to his title-chasing Gunners. Isco, who Arsenal were interested in signing in the summer, has once again kindled the veteran French manager’s interest.
Isco is fighting for one spot at Real with James Rodriguez, Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio. With Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott prone to their bouts of inconsistency, Isco would be a big signing for the Gunners.
This interest comes after Arsenal seemed to have had their bid to sign Julian Draxler from Wolfsburg scuppered by the sheer financial might of Paris St. Germain.
