Hello and welcome to the Real Madrid latest transfer news and rumours of the day! We are into the final 10 days of November and there are just around 40 days remaining for the winter transfer window to open.

The Galacticos don’t usually do business in January but given that they have had their struggles this season, they might just make some waves in the upcoming transfer market.

And our job is to present to you the indication of what others assume the waves could be like. So, without further ado, let’s begin!


#3 Martin Tyler opens up about Eden Hazard

'He has also impressed me with the way he doesn't take himself too seriously - a twinkle in the eye to go with those twinkling feet' – Martin Taylor talks about Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard has been heavily linked with Spanish giants Real Madrid for a while now. Things escalated further when the player himself spoke of his desire to play for the Galacticos somewhere down the line.

For Chelsea fans, the thought they dread the most is having to witness the former Lille starlet leave the club someday. This is also something that seems to be concerning Premier League commentator Martin Tyler.

At first, Tyler praised the Belgium captain for his dazzling abilities on the ball and also his easy-going personality off the field. He also noted that Hazard is improving as seasons go by

“Eden Hazard seems to get even better with each passing season,” Tyler said.

“He has also impressed me with the way he doesn't take himself too seriously - a twinkle in the eye to go with those twinkling feet.”

Tyler then hoped for something that every Chelsea fan under the sun also prays for. He stated that he wishes for the Belgian to stay in the Premier League, with Chelsea, as losing him abroad would be a huge loss for the game in England.

“I really hope he pledges his long-term future to Chelsea and the Premier League. He would be a loss if he left.”


#2 The rundown of AS

This – using the name of another outlet to name our subheading – is something we don’t usually do but such is the comprehensiveness of this report from AS that there was perhaps no better way of putting it.

The Spanish outlet have stated in their report that the construction work has begun for the Whites. And, of course, the man that is overseeing this is the construction magnate Florentino Perez himself (who, for your information, owns a construction company).

Most of the backbone of the Champions League-dominating team are now in their 30s. The likes of Modric and Ramos, for example, don’t really have many years at the top.

As a result, the Galacticos are looking to sign Mario Hermoso for defence while also eying Exequiel Palacios, Frenkie De Jong and Christian Eriksen for midfield. They also name Marcus Rashford and Raheem Sterling as possible candidates to refurbish the attackf

#1 Why Neymar will sign for Real over Barca

Next Galactico?

In the press, Neymar seems to be like an obsession for the Galacticos. They tried to sign him before he moved to Barcelona but with the Brazilian in PSG right now, the chance of seeing the Brazil captain in a white shirt has become possible once again.

At least that is what Eduardo Inda seems to believe. The senior Spanish journalist spoke to OK Diario and stated that the Brazilian is unlikely to join Barcelona. His reasoning is that he didn’t leave the Catalans by keeping a good relationship with Messi, which is why it is almost impossible for him to head back to the Camp Nou.

"Some think that Neymar is going back to Barcelona,” he said.

“He cannot go back because of how things ended up with Messi and financial fair play. The relationship [with Messi] was regrettable.”

The other reason, according to him, is that Barca can’t sign him due to FFP constraints and that gives Madrid the chance to sign the former Santos star.

”The financial fair play will prevent him from signing for Barca - he will come to Real Madrid.”
