Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's Daily Transfer Roundup. We are a few months away from the summer transfer window. However, we have received official confirmation of a new Real Madrid signing and that goes to show why the rumour mill stays buzzing even though the transfer window is shut.
The January transfer window saw plenty of players joining new clubs. This summer, however, that number is certain to go through the roof. With plenty of top European clubs looking all set for a squad overhaul, we expect this to be one of the most exciting transfer seasons in the recent past.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the top transfer news, rumours and updates that made headlines on 14th March 2019.
Hull City's Jarrod Bowen says he turned down chance to replace Sala at Cardiff
Hull City forward Jarrod Bowen has now revealed that he turned down the offer to sign for the Bluebirds in the wake of the tragic death of Emiliano Sala, in an interview with Sky Sports.
"The whole situation was very uncomfortable. Of course, it was nothing to do with how I view Cardiff as a club, but the whole story around Sala was just so tragic. To join Cardiff knowing that he was meant to play for them would have been incredibly difficult and not something that filled me with any enthusiasm.
"Of course, any transfer would have needed Hull's approval in any case, but from my personal point of view it was never a starter, not under those circumstances. It just felt wrong. Now we know for certain that Emiliano died. It still feels unbelievable that his life could be cut short like that, it seems so cruel."
Maurizio Sarri is not worried about Hazard's rumoured move to Real Madrid
Maurizio Sarri insists he is not bothered by rumours linking Eden Hazard to Real Madrid despite the reappointment of Zinedine Zidane as the manager of the Blancos.
Zinedine Zidane is Eden Hazard's childhood hero and the Belgian is hence expected to make a long-awaited switch to the Spanish capital in the summer.
Sarri said on Wednesday,
"You have to ask to Hazard (about Zidane) I think."
"I don't know at the moment. I didn't speak with Eden about Zidane.
"I am not worried because you know my opinion. I want only in my team players who want to play for Chelsea, so I can't be worried."
Real Madrid officially announce the signing of Eder Militao from Porto
Real Madrid have completed the signing of Brazilian centre-back Eder Militao from Porto. Militao will join the club when the summer transfer window opens on a deal that will run till 2025.
Real Madrid triggered Militao's €50 million release clause. Militao can play at both centre-back and right-back.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants 4 players to be signed in the summer
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping to reinforce the Red Devils lineup with a few top signings in the summer. He held a meeting with the club's top brass recently and informed them that there are 4 positions that he wants to strengthen in the summer.
Solskjaer wants the club to sign a top Right Back as Ashley Young is not getting any younger and is struggling to keep up with the pace of the Premier League. Secondly, he wants to sign a player at left-back who can cover for Luke Shaw.
The third position that the Norwegian wants to strengthen is at RW. United haven't had an out-and-out right winger for years now. Lastly, Ole would like to sign an attacking midfielder but it is not as pressing an issue.
