Gareth Bale's agent hints at Serie A move
Gareth Bale is having a tough time at Real Madrid and talks of him leaving the club are always doing rounds. The Welshman had a good start to the season but has now gone 731 minutes without a goal.
Madrid have suffered because of this and rumours suggest that they are looking to sell the forward. Bale's agent, Jonathan Barnett has now added fuel to the fire by claiming that the former Tottenham star is open to moving to Italy.
“Nothing is impossible. The truth is that Gareth right now is happy in Madrid but if you think about the future, don’t rule it out,” Barnett told Tuttosport when asked if the forward would be interested in a move to Italy.
The agent also hinted that it is Ronaldo's arrival that has taken Serie A to another level and also made it attractive to top players. “Ronaldo at Juventus? That move makes people view Serie A differently and any top player will now be considering Italy as a possible destination,” said Barnett.
Atletico Madrid eye Thorgan Hazard
Atletico Madrid might have Gelson Martin and Thomas Lemar to play on the wings, but they are keen on signing another winger. Sport BILD (via Marca) report that the Spanish side are keen on signing Thorgan Hazard from Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The former Chelsea player has been impressive the Bundesliga this season and has attracted the attention of several Europan sides. Everton, Bayern Munich, Sevilla and Valencia have also been linked with the brother of Eden Hazard. The Belgian is looking to stay at the German side for the season but will be open to a move in the summer.
Chelsea are also said to be monitoring his situation while the mystery of the buy-back option continues. Some reports suggest that the buy-back clause expired last summer while others suggest that it is still active. The German side, however, have said that no such clause ever existed.
Barcelona hold talks with De Ligt's agent
Barcelona have made their first big for Matthijs De Ligt according to reports in SPORT. The Spanish publication claims that the Catalan side have held talks with the Ajax star's agent, Mino Raiola.
The 19-year-old is said to be Blaugrana's top target right now and they are doing all they can to secure the signing. Manchester City have also been linked with the defender who has been slapped with a €65 million price tag by Ajax.
Samuel Umtiti set for knee surgery
Barcelona might be without Samuel Umtiti for a very long time after it was reported that the defender needs a knee surgery now. The Frenchman underwent treatment to regenerate the cartilage last month, but this does not appear to have worked.
The Catalan side are now looking to sign a replacement for him in the summer and De Ligt is said to be their top target. Chelsea's Christensen and former Chelsea player, Branislav Ivanovic have also been linked.
Barcelona eye Kompany
Today's big Barcelona rumour comes from Mirror. The English newspaper reports that the Catalan side's hunt for a defender has seen them set sights on Vincent Kompany.
The Belgian is not playing regularly for Manchester City right now and they are looking to take advantage of that situation and swoop him away.
PSG join race for Brahim Diaz
Manchester City starlet, Brahim Diaz seems to have got yet another offer on his table. The Spaniard was linked with a move to Bernabeu but PSG have also joined the race according to AS.
Diaz's contract expires at the end of the season but has been offered a new deal City are keen on keeping him at the club but the starlet wants assurance over game time before committing to the new deal.
Varane agrees to join Manchester United
Things are going from bad to worse for Real Madrid if reports in Diario GOL are to be believed. The Spanish giants have not had the best of starts in the league and are now unable to keep hold of their best players.
Ronaldo has already left and rumours of Isco leaving have also surfaced. Marcelo has also been linked with a move away but the Brazilian is likely to stay put.
However, Diario GOL report that Raphael Varane is looking to leave the club soon. The Frenchman is unhappy at the club and has agreed to join Manchester United. Jose Mourinho is said to be the main reason for him choosing the Red Devils who are set to begin negotiations with Los Blancos for the defender.
