Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane says he does not want a new goalkeeper this month, despite Los Blancos being close to securing the signing of Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Zidane has said: "As a coach, I don't need a goalkeeper at the moment. If that changes by June or if we sit down and talk about it."

PSG WANT RONALDO

The French giants have had a long-term interest in the Portuguese and will try to sign him at the end of the season. They would have to negotiate with Real Madrid though, due to the fact that the 32-year-old has a €1bn buyout clause in his contract.

Crystal Palace are in negotiations with Getafe for their highly-rated goalkeeper Vicente Guaita.

The La Liga side are keen to get a fee for the 30-year old, believed to be around £3.5m, rather than let him go for free in the summer.

Watford and Besiktas have also been linked with the keeper who has conceded just 16 goals in 17 league games so far this season.

Watford are the front-runners to take Islam Slimani on loan, but Newcastle are also interested in the out-of-favour Leicester strike

AN UPDATE ON COUTINHO

Coutinho hasn’t travelled to Dubai with the squad. He wants the deal to Barcelona to be done ASAP. He is even willing to put some money towards fee. The figure should be close to €160M. No agreement yet between clubs but he would like it all done by next week. FCB would like to make announcement “very soon”

Liverpool is trying all they can to convince him to stay till the end of the season once deal with Barcelona has been agreed. And they are not actively looking for a replacement after trying to get Keita earlier.

Juventus CEO Beppe Marotta has said there are no transfer negotiations involving Alex Sandro, despite speculation that Chelsea still want him.

Juve policy is that should a player ask to leave, we don't keep him. About Alex Sandro, we know about the interest of big clubs for him, but at the moment, we haven't opened negotiations" he told Mediaset.

Coutinho practically done. Could be confirmed very soon https://t.co/uElsaDgipn
