Real Madrid CF v Sporting Gijon - La Liga — Ronaldo wants to move to Chelsea

Okay, this section is going to be quite long. We will start with Manchester United, obviously. The Mirror say that there is going to be a three-way scramble over Bayer Leverkusen’s Leon Bailey between Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. He is going to be available for £40 million in the summer.

Speaking of Chelsea, the Telegraph claim that they have baulked at the £60 million price tag of Juventus left-back and long-term target, Alex Sandro, which leaves way for PSG and Manchester United to sign him. (You see why I used “others” to segment this hotchpotch?)

Also, Don Balon are back and they claim that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to move to Chelsea. Meanwhile, Tribal Football claim that Leonardo Bonucci is desperate to reunite with former boss Antonio Conte at Chelsea.
