Liverpool have expressed their interest in signing Wolverhampton midfielder Ruben Neves. It’s no longer news that the Reds are in the market this summer for a dynamic midfielder who will bring the creativity and energy their team seems to lack. They had been on the hunt for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham but have come to terms with the fact that they can’t afford the young Englishman. They have turned their attention to several alternatives, with Wolverhampton Wanderers captain Neves one of their key targets. According to Football Insider, Liverpool have a concrete interest in acquiring the 26-year-old, who is expected to leave the West Midlands outfit this summer.

Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona are the favourites to sign the Portuguese midfielder, having been linked with the player for several transfer windows. According to Insider reports, the Blaugrana may use Ansu Fati in a part-exchange deal to bring Neves to Camp Nou. The Wolves captain is said to have already agreed on personal terms with the Spanish club. However, Liverpool is” waiting in the wings” if Barca ends their pursuit of Neves. The La Liga giants are facing financial complications and must shed €200m off their wage bill. Wolves reportedly want just cash for their midfielder, which only bodes well for Liverpool.

Real Madrid offer Eden Hazard for Harry Kane

May 26, 2023 No Comments

Real Madrid reportedly wants to sign Tottenham hitman Harry Kane and are ready to add Eden Hazard to the package that will bring the English striker to the Santiago Bernabeu. This is according to a report by Spanish outlet Cadena Ser, which claims that Los Blancos have been offered the chance to sign Kane, with the club considering the option. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy wants to sell Kane this season at a price to avoid losing him for free next summer and wants to sell him to a non-Premier League club.

But selling to Madrid could be difficult as their summer budget does not include buying a striker. Yet, they have found a way to fund the deal by adding Eden Hazard. The Belgian is out of favour at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Madrid will be willing to offload him this summer. Although Hazard has insisted he wants to see out his contract in Sapin, the deal could benefit him as he would return to familiar territory in the Premier League.

Real Madrid to chose between Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe next year

May 24, 2023 No Comments

Real Madrid will reportedly choose between signing Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe in the summer of 2024. Los Blancos have been long-time admirers of French superstar Mbappe and narrowly missed out on him last summer after he chose to sign a two-year contract extension with PSG. But according to French publication L’Equipe, the 24-year-old’s contract at Parc des Princes will end in the summer of 2024 as he is increasingly unlikely to trigger the option of extending his deal by another 12 months – which he must do by the end of July. This means that Mbappe will be available for free next summer, which could entice Real Madrid.

In addition, Madrid expects Karim Benzema to sign a one-year extension soon, with the Frenchman expected to leave at the end of the 2023-24 season to make way for a new superstar signing. Meanwhile, if Kylian Mbappe decides to sign for Real Madrid, he must take a significant pay cut to seal the move. Moreover, he might be required to play more centrally as Vinicius Jr. is currently the number one choice on the left wing.
