David Alaba on Real Madrid's radar
Spanish outlet, Sport, has claimed that Real Madrid have made Bayern Munich's left-back, David Alaba, their primary defensive target. Zinedine Zidane is said to be a fan of the athletic fullback and is reportedly keen on working with the 25 year-old.
This rumour seems a bit unrealistic at the moment with Bayern Munich considering Alaba as a crucial part of their future whereas Real Madrid already have a ready-made successor to Marcelo in the form of Theo Hernandez.
Leon Goretzka to be offered a new contract at Schalke 04
Schalke's CEO, Christian Heidel, has revealed that the club will not sell the midfielder in January and will instead offer Goretzka a new and improved deal. The German has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich, but the club's chief revelations has put any potential January bid to a halt.
Talking to Bild, Heidel said, "For us, always, there were only two options – that Goretzka renews his contract or he stays until 2018. Selling him prematurely was never an option for us.”
