#5 Kovacic

While Rafa Benitez might have been one of the worst managers in the history of Madrid, he did leave a great mark behind at the club in the form of Mateo Kovacic. The Croat was signed by the Spanish manager during his first and only ever summer transfer window as the manager of Real Madrid and he has been at the club ever since.

The former Inter man has always been a calm and composed player who had no qualms about anything during his time in Spain. Even last summer, he had a lot of offers from other clubs but refused to listen to them in order to stay with Real Madrid.

He must have felt that he made the right choice as he was the starter for Madrid against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. But a subsequent injury cost him a lot of playing time down the line, which is why he now revealed that he would like to leave Real Madrid in order to gain more playing time, with clubs such as Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur on alert.

"I want to play more and the best thing is for me to leave Madrid," the Croatian midfielder told Spanish publication Marca.

"I love football and being on the grass, I want the opportunity to be a starter on another team, if I do not play i am not happy."

Last December, Real Madrid’s managing director Jose Angel Sanchez stated that the club would “never” sell the player because the future of Real Madrid “relies” on the Croat genius.

#4 Milinkovic-Savic and Sastre

Sergej is being chased

The stock of Serbian midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic just keeps rising as the Lazio man is having a tournament to remember for his national team, despite the fact that they lost to Switzerland.

He has a lot of interest from top European clubs, but according to Manchester Evening News, Manchester United are in the dark over the future of the Serbian midfielder as he hasn’t spoken of his future to his team-mates.

Meanwhile, Sport believe that the Red Devils are interested in signing young right-back Carlos Sastre for their academy side.

#3 Alex Sandro and Tielemans

Sandro to PSG?

Alex Sandro has been linked with a move out of Juventus for a while now, with Manchester United being the club interested the most in him. However there is a new suitor for his signature.

According to Tuttosport, the left-back is now on the radar of Paris Saint-Germain. Apparently he also “likes” the club and the French giants would be willing to pay €55 million for him.

Meanwhile, Transfer Tavern seem to believe that Manchester United could be interested in signing Youri Tielemans from Monaco as he has improved a lot since joining the French outfit.

#2 Juan Mata and Alderweireld

So this is a bit of a shocker. Juan Mata who played for Real Madrid during his younger days, is being touted towards a move to Barcelona by Bleacher Report’s Dean Jones on Twitter.

The former Chelsea man has become a bit-part player ever since Jose Mourinho touched his life and it is being understood that Barca are pursuing him after failing to acquire the signature of Antoine Griezmann.

Meanwhile, Express believe that Toby Alderweireld’s move to Manchester United relies on Raphael Varane’s availability. Mourinho is a fan of both the defenders but Spurs insistence on getting over £60 million for the Belgian who turns 30 soon has become a hindrance to the possible deal.

#1 Rumour of the day

Football: Brazil vs Costa Rica at World Cup

This one is special, trust me. Neymar may have been pulling out all the best dance moves on the pitch to make him resemble a swan, off it there is a whole saga going on with his future.

Ever since joining PSG, news outlets seem to believe that he is only a guest at the French club and will move sooner rather than later. Real Madrid are one of the clubs linked with him – but it is Manchester United that seem to have gone full monty on him.

According to Don Balon, the Red Devils want to break the transfer record once again for the Brazilian with a bid of €275 million plus Anthony Martial for the Brazilian superstar. I mean, come on, that is just insane!
