Robert Lewandowski has time and again been linked with a move to Madrid

Real Madrid are hoping to sign Robert Lewandowski this summer, and that could see Karim Benzema leaving Santiago Bernabeu. According to El Confidencial, Arsenal are still interested in signing the Frenchman, but should offer big money for the striker.

Barcelona’s president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, today confirmed in a press conference that Brazilian star Neymar will sign a new five-year contract in the next few days. “On these Neymar rumours I want to make something clear. Neymar does not want to leave Barcelona and we do not want him to leave. In the next few days we will be able to officially announce a new contract for five years. His new contract will be for five seasons and we will make sure everything is correct,” Bartomeu told the media.

According to French newspaper L’Equipe, Barcelona have agreed a fee of €30m for Lyon defender Samuel Umtiti. The French defender should complete his transfer to the Catalan giants after the completion of the Euros in his homeland.
