Mariano Diaz not looking to leave Real Madrid this summer
The future of Mariano Diaz was a big doubt after the arrival of Zinedine Zidane. The striker was re-signed to put pressure on Karim Benzema, but he failed to do it at any point in the season.
Benzema, meanwhile, got back to goalscoring ways and managed to help Real Madrid in a lot of games. Reports suggested that Zidane had made a decision to stick with the Frenchman and was ready to let go of Diaz this summer.
The striker, however, has other plans. While talking to Marca, the Dominican striker not only confirmed his intentions to stay, but was also confident that next season would be his breakthrough at Real Madrid. “I am going to stay here, this is my team,” the former Lyon striker said in his interview with Marca.
“My idea is to continue in Madrid, in my team. I want to show what I came here to do and I want to win many titles. I fought hard to get Real Madrid. I have worked hard, I have always wanted this as a child and now that I am here I will try to do my best to play in the best team in the world.”
“It has been a difficult season for everyone. And this is always the case. The press is always there in that sense and it is a thing that must be accepted. It has been complicated because we have not achieved the objectives, but now it is time to think about the next one, which is the important one, and to try to win as much as possible.”
Antoine Griezmann not sure about his future
Antoine Griezmann has confirmed that he is leaving Atletico Madrid this summer but the question of 'where?' has not been answered yet. The forward has been linked with PSG, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Manchester United so far but it is Barcelona who are reportedly in talks to sign him.
The Frenchman is currently with the national side ahead of their UEFA Euro qualifiers. When asked about his future, he said:
“I do not know when my future will be resolved. It is a good question, but everything will come in its time.”
It is always a wonderful thing to play for the national team, we all enjoy it, not everyone can live this experience and we are proud to represent France.”
Griezmann's release clause comes down from €200 million to €120 million on July 1st and reports suggest that Barcelona will activate it once June ends.
Bayern Munich 'not interested' in signing James Rodriguez
James Rodriguez was 'all set' to join Bayern Munich a few months ago but all that has changed. The Colombian is no longer wanted at the German club and reports now suggest that there is no chance of him remaining with the Bundesliga champions.
Kicker (via Marca) reports: “The heads of Bayern have agreed that the option (to sign the player permanently) will not be executed, and the Colombian will leave Bayern and is probably heading to Napoli.”
Former Real Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti is currently at Napoli and reports claim the Serie A side are already in talks with Los Blancos. Juventus, PSG and a couple of other European sides have been linked with a move for him as well.
Madrid are not interested in keeping James at the Bernabeu and are looking to sell him this summer.
Kylian Mbappe's shocking condition to join Real Madrid
Kylian Mbappe is ready to take the next step and this will be his 3rd club despite being just 20-years-old! The PSG star was signed permanently last summer from AS Monaco and is now a top target for Real Madrid.
He has made it clear that he wants to have a more important role from now and hinted at the possibility of leaving PSG. Real Madrid, who are desperate to sign him, are ready to pounce on the chance if it pops up.
Reports in Spain, however, claim that it won't be easy for Los Blancos to sign him. The report suggests that he will cost a world-record fee but that is not the tough part for Madrid.
Kylian Mbappe is looking for a huge increase in his salary as well according to the report. The French striker is only willing to join Madrid if he gets paid as much as Lionel Messi at Barcelona!
Barcelona want £106M Manchester United target, Joao Felix
Joao Felix is the hottest property in the world of football right now and every single top club in the world wants to sign him. The striker is just 19 years old and Benfica have made him the spearhead of their attack.
He has delivered consistently for the Portuguese side and that has caught the attention of several scouts. Manchester United, Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham and even Juventus have been linked with the striker so far.
Barcelona have now entered the race for him as well as they look for a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez. While Antoine Griezmann remains their top target, reports suggest that with Felix will be available for the exact same cost – €120 million – and the Barcelona board are letting Ernesto Valverde decide who he wants.
