La Liga
- The big boys are in town, and boy! are they creating a dramatic entrance. After we reported yesterday that Bayern Munich are interested in Luka Modric to replace Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid are back with a vengeance, and they want Robert Lewandowski to line up alongside Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo. In what would be a move by Perez seen to rival the famed trio of Messi, Suarez, and Neymar on the other side of the country, they are willing to splash the cash to bring in the Polish megastar
- Barcelona are determined not to be left behind, and with Luis Suarez approaching the wrong side of 30, the Catalan giants want to sign Thomas Mueller with reports gathering steam in the Catalan media
- The duo would cost the Spanish giants more than $200mn. combined.
- Meanwhile, someone who doesn’t seem to be going anywhere is Antoine Griezmann, with Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo insisting that the French superstar is staying put. Speculation has been rife that a clutch of Premier League clubs – led by Manchester United – are set to trigger his 86 million release clause. In his own words “There are many offers. I don’t know what will come of Manchester United’s interest. What I can say though is that Griezmann will be an Atlético player for a long time.”
