Real Madrid youngster Dani Cabellos is a subject of interest from north London clubs, Tottenham and Arsenal. The Spain youth international joined Los Blancos last summer after an inspiring display at  the European Under-21 Championship, but he has not been given enough opportunities to show what he can do. He is reportedly unhappy with his limited role at the Bernabeu and is seeking a move away just five months into his long term deal. Arsenal and Tottenham are looking to rescue their season, and believe the Real Betis midfielder could be of help. The Gunners lost their last league game to Manchester United, a result which leaves them fifth on the league table, while Tottenham have not won any of their last four league games, and seat three points of the top four. AC Milan are also interested in Cabellos, but he could decide to return to Betis on loan. He has started just 2 La Liga games this season, and scored a brace in a 2-1 over Alaves. According to Dario Gol, Zinedine Zidane never endorsed the signing of Cabellos, but Florentino Perez signed him as part of his plan to develop a Spanish core at the European champions.

Real Madrid are leading the race to sign Manchester City star Kevin de Bruyne from Manchester City, according to bookmakers. The Belgian has been in sparkling form this season, scoring 5 goals and providing 11 assists so far. His is currently the leading assist provider in Europe’s top five leagues since he joined Manchester City from Wolfsburg in 2015, and provided the match winning assist again in City’s win over West Ham at the weekend. According to Daily Star, bookmakers believe he would head to Real Madrid if he decides to leave the Etihad Stadium. Per the source, Real Madrid have expressed interest in the Belgian and currently lead the way by 4/1, followed closely by Barcelona and PSG at 6/1. Bayern are also outside favourites at 8/1. De Bruyne is one of several Manchester City players whom the club is planning to give new deals to avoid losing them to other top European teams. De Bruyne and Manchester City would be in action on Wednesday night in the Champions League as they look to keep up their unbeaten start to the season.  

Manchester United have completed the signing of France youth international, Aliou Badara Traore from PSG. The 16 years old wonder kid has already drawn comparison with the Red Devil’s most expensive player, Paul Pogba because of his box-box abilities and natural strength. Traore has already captained his country’s Under-17 side, and would turn 17 in January. At that time he would be eligible in the FA Youth Cup. He is said to have attracted the interests of Manchester City and Juventus, but decided to join the Reds Devils so that he can learn from his fellow country man. Footage of the midfielder running with the ball from his own half to score a goal is available on Daily Star. The teenager may not be in the Manchester United first team picture within the next few years, but his arrival has generated a lot of buzz among the club’s fan base. Many Fans praised Mourinho’s investment in youth as the club has become synonymous with spending huge sums of money on established players. Apparently the club’s scout has been looking at him for a long time before they eventually made their move. He made his under 18 Premier League debut on Saturday against Wolves and that would definitely be the first of many to come.

Manchester City are on the verge of rewarding former Liverpool man, Raheem Sterling with a new deal worth £300,000 per week. The English attacker has been in sparkling form this season, coming up with the winning goals on many occasion for the Cityzens. His form has predictably begin to pique the interest of some of Europe’s elite teams and City would love to tie him down to a new long term contract. The deal would make him the Premier League’s earner eclipsing the £290,000 per week Manchester United currently pay Paul Pogba. Sterling currently has two years left on his current deal, but his representatives expect to be presented with a new contract before the end of this season. Sterling rejected a contract worth 100, 000 per week at Liverpool to move to the Etihad two summers ago where he was offered £180,000. He was a subject of transfer interest from Arsenal last summer who wanted him in exchange for Alexis Sanchez, but City rejected the offer and offered a straight cash deal for the Chilean. he has scored 9 Premier League goals this season already.

Egypt’s national team manager Hector Cuper is claiming that Real Madrid are seriously eyeing a move for Premier League’s top scorer, Mohammed Salah. The Egyptian has been hailed as the signing of the season after an impressive start to life in the Premier League that has seen him score 12 league goals after 15 rounds of matches. His form seem to have attracted the attention of current Europeans champions Real Madrid who are seriously considering making a move for him according to Cuper. Cuper via the Daily Mail   claims “I’ve received confirmed news revealing Real Madrid’s interest in Salah, but let’s not rush things.” Real Madrid have been struggling for goals this season, and they look set to lose the La Liga title they won last season to bitter rivals Barcelona. Zinedine Zidane is reportedly  not happy with Gareth Bale for his constant injury problems, and would consider replacing the Welsh man with Salah. Madrid currently seat 4th on their league table, if their form dips further, they might drop out of the top four, with the likes of Real Sociedad impressing this season. Liverpool would likely rebuff any approach for Salah this winter as they look likely to sell Philippe Coutinho.

Chelsea are prepared to allow Thibaut Courtois leave Stamford Bridge for free in the summer of 2019, rather than cash in on him earlier. The Belgian has been in sensational form for the Blues since he returned from his three years loan at Atletico Madrid, and helped the Blues win the Premier League last season. Antonio Conte is a fan of the Belgian and had earlier asked the Blues hierarchy to give a new deal to the goalie he considers the best in the world. However, there hasn’t been much progress in talks between the club and the players hierarchy, with the Belgian preferring to resume talks after this season. Real Madrid have Courtois as one of three goal keepers they want to replace the ageing Keylor Navas and could move for one of them next summer, but Chelsea would not sell and would rather let him leave for free in 2019. However, de Gea who was superb for the Red Devils in their last match against Arsenal, making the joint highest save ever made by a Premier League goalkeeper, still has a deal with United until 2019, and the club retain the right to extend it by another year. Courtois had earlier spent three seasons in the La Liga, winning the title with Atletico Madrid in the 2013/2014 season. The Belgian is said to be interested in a move there but could stay if offered a huge pay increase.

Real Madrid’s hope of signing Timo Werner this winter has been dealt a major blow as the RB Leipzig’s Sporting Director has denied all links with the European Champions. Real Madrid have been struggling for goals this season with the likes of Karim Benzema and C. Ronaldo unable to recapture their previous goal scoring forms. They had hope to sign Werner in the winter transfer window to improve their goal scoring record and try to catch Barcelona. However, RB Leipzig’s Sporting Director, Ralf Ragnick has dismissed any chance of the attacker leaving the German this winter or even the summer. Speaking to Four Four Two  He claimed that they had no plans of allowing the attacker leave them either this January or at the end of the season. Werner has scored 28 league goals in just over 40 games for the German league contenders after joining them last season from Stuttgart. He also helped an understrength German team to win the last Confederations Cup in Russia Leipzig are usually not willing to sell any of their star men, but as seen with the Naby Keita saga, Real Madrid can get their man, if they can pay just enough to get him.

Juventus are afraid that Alex Sandro will ask for a move to Chelsea when the January transfer window opens, and the Italians are currently tracking a replacement. According to Talksport, the Serie A champions are tracking Atletico Madrid’s Felipe Luis as the ideal replacement for Sandro. Luis spent a single season with Chelsea during the 2015/2016 season, but had an underwhelming time at Stamford Bridge before returning to Atleti. He has since rebuilt his career and he is thriving again. Although Luis is 32 now, the Old Ladies believe he still has a few more years of top level football to offer. He would also come cheaper than younger alternatives. Sandro was close to joining the Blues last summer in a deal that could have been worth up to £60 million, but the Old ladies stood firm and refused to allow him leave. However, Sandro is reportedly ready to move and join his compatriots in the Premier League and would love the move to happen this winter. It is unclear of Chelsea would be willing to move for him this January at the moment.
