Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's Daily Transfer Roundup. With the summer transfer window now well underway, there is no predicting what's going to happen over the course of the next few months.
With some of the biggest clubs in the world like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United among others looking to rebuild in the summer, we are in for a busy transfer window.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the top transfer news, rumours and updates that made headlines on 28 May 2019.
Florentino Perez says Sergio Ramos asked to leave for free
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has revealed today that club captain Sergio Ramos and his agent approached the Blancos' top brass and told them that he wants to leave the club. Perez said that Ramos and his agent said that they had received 'a very good offer from China'. However, he also added that Real Madrid denied the defender's request.
"They (Ramos and his agent) came to see me in my office and told me they had a very good offer from China but the league rules over there wouldn't permit them to pay the transfer fee," Perez told radio station Onda Cero.
"What was I going to tell him? We said this couldn't happen but we'd speak to the club to satisfy him but that Real Madrid could not afford to let its captain leave for free as that would set a terrible precedent for other players."
Zinedine Zidane is expected to oversee a massive squad overhaul in the summer. In addition to signing some top quality players, they want to keep hold of their core and keeping Ramos is of prime importance especially since he is the club captain and the club's most experienced player.
Eden Hazard hints at move by saying Europa League win would be the perfect farewell
Chelsea fans are now resigned to losing Eden Hazard in the summer. The Belgian is widely tipped to join Real Madrid and recently, Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has asked the Stamford Bridge faithful to accept whatever decision he makes at the end of the season.
Now, Hazard has fueled further speculation by stating that winning the Europa League final against Arsenal would be the 'perfect farewell'.
"We lost the League Cup final, so at the end of the season this is the trophy we can go for.
"I just want to win the trophy, that is it. It does not matter if I score or I do not score. If it is my last game, I hope to bring the trophy.
"Would it be the perfect farewell? Yes."
Alvaro Morata wants to stay at Atletico Madrid
The former Real Madrid striker seemed to have secured a dream move when he chose to move to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2017. However, things did not work out for him anywhere close to as well as he would have liked and ended up joining Il Rojiblancos in the winter transfer window of 2019 on an 18 month loan.
Morata has now revealed to Marca that he wants to stay put at Atletico Madrid and is keen on securing a permanent transfer.
"I have been clear that I want to be here,"
"It's not even in my head to leave this club. I want it to be resolved as soon as possible, I'm happy here, I want to be here for all the years I have left as a professional. As long as the people love me and are happy with my work, I want to be here. I have found happiness here, I'm where I want to be."
Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele to leave Barcelona in the summer
If you look back at Coutinho's decision to move to Barcelona and how he took to life initially at the Camp Nou, it looked like a wise decision. However, a year and a half later, Liverpool have made it to their second Champions League final in a row and Barcelona have just had to endure a terrible end to their season having lost out on the Copa Del Rey after crashing out of the Champions League.
Coutinho has been granted several chances to impress. However, the midfielder has only shone sporadically and at a club like Barcelona, it is simply inexcusable. Barcelona are keen on pressing the trigger and cashing in on the Brazilian while he's worth something around the initial sum that they had to pay for him and is all set to be sold this summer.
Ousmane Dembele will join Coutinho on his way out. Dembele was bought as a like-for-like replacement for Neymar. However, Dembele's fitness and indiscipline has cast a shadow over his spell at the club and the Barcelona top brass have decided to call it a day on his life at the Nou Camp.
Neymar will join Real Madrid if they keep Isco
With even Thomas Tuchel not being too sure about keeping hold of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe beyond the summer, Florentino Perez was expected to make a move for one of them. Real Madrid are keen on convincing Neymar to jump ship and are trying to work out a deal for the Brazilian who has formerly played for Barcelona.
Nemar is rumoured to have bigger demands than Kylian Mbappe with the Brazilian not willing to risk missing his sister's birthday every year being one on the list. Neymar has reportedly told Real Madrid that he will arrive at the Santiago Bernabeu if they keep hold of Spanish midfielder Isco.
Isco is unsettled at Real Madrid and his future is hanging in the balance. Neymar, however, believes that Isco is the most talented player in Zinedine Zidane's team and he also believes that Real Madrid will be a much lesser team without him in their squad.
Now, it's upto Real Madrid to make the decision.
