Multi-title winner signs a five-year contract with Real Madrid
Real Madrid have officially announced the signing of the versatile defender David Alaba from Bayern Munich. After months of speculation, the 28-year-old has signed a five-year contract at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Austria international arrives in Madrid as a free agent after refusing to commit his future to Bayern despite the club’s relentless efforts to tie him down to a new deal. Alaba spent 12 memorable years at the Allianz Arena, becoming one of the symbols of the Bavarians’ domestic and continental success in the past decade. He recorded 512 appearances for Bayern in all competitions en route to winning 27 major titles, including ten Bundesliga titles and two Champions Leagues. Alaba was part of the squad that won the record-breaking nine Bundesliga titles in a row and was an integra...
Real Madrid join Tottenham in race for in-demand manager
Real Madrid have identified Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino as a perfect long-term replacement for Zinedine Zidane. After months of speculation, Zidane decided to call time on his second stint in Madrid on Thursday, leaving a vacancy only a handful of managers can fill. One of them is Pochettino, who has experienced a rather torrid six-month spell in Paris after replacing Thomas Tuchel in January. PSG sacked the German tactician in the midst of the side’s rough patch and opted for the ex-Tottenham boss to take over the reins at the Parc des Princes. However, the move has not worked out as expected, with Les Parisiens suffering a heartbreaking Champions League exit to Manchester City in the semi-finals. Paris’ underwhelming campaign culminated with a domestic heartache as Lille...
Zinedine Zidane leaves Real Madrid for second time in three years
Zinedine Zidane has left Real Madrid after the club failed to win a trophy in 2020/21. The Frenchman departed as Madrid boss back in 2018, only to return 10 months later.

Paolo Maldini: Gianluigi Donnarumma to leave AC Milan as free agent
Gianluigi Donnarumma will leave AC Milan this summer, club director Paolo Maldini announced on Wednesday, with the Italy goalkeeper set to pick his new club as a free agent. Donnarumma’s Milan contract expires at the end of the month and he has been linked with moves to La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, Manchester United and even bitter Serie A rivals Juventus. “We need to show respect for someone who has given a lot to Milan, he has never disrespected us. We’re going our separate ways but I can only wish him the very best,” Milan legend Maldini said on social media platform Twitch. Seven-time European champions Milan finished second in Serie A last weekend, securing Champions League football for the first time since the 2013-2014 season. Donnarumma was a near ever-present in Stefa...

The winger bagged a brace in Spurs’ 4-2 victory over Leicester City in the final game of the Premier League campaign on Sunday, helping the north Londoners qualify for the inaugural Europa Conference League as a result.

Spanish outlet ABC Deportes are claiming retirement is what the 31-year-old was hinting at. According to their report, Bale is considering negotiating a contract termination with Madrid and then retiring after Euro 2020. He returned to Spain immediately after Spurs’ game on Sunday, and is no...

‘Buy him’, ‘Get him’: Some Chelsea fans react to prospect of signing £43m-rated star
A selection of Chelsea fans on Twitter have welcomed the possibility of the club re-signing Eden Hazard from Real Madrid this summer. The Belgium international spent seven seasons with the Blues between 2012 and 2019, registering 110 goals and 92 assists from 353 appearances. Since his move to Los Blancos for an initial £88.5 million, he has struggled with multiple injuries, and has turned out just 43 times in all competitions.

Los Blancos are weighing up a summer deal for Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe, and Hazard believes this could lead to his departure.

Manchester United step up Kingsley Coman transfer bid
Getty Images Manchester United have reportedly told Kingsley Coman they are ready to pay him £200,000 a week after tax. The Bayern Munich star has two years left on his contract but is yet to agree terms over a new deal. Bild claim Coman, 24, earns £200k a week before tax but ‘would like to have it in net’. United have apparently ‘indicated’ to the Frenchman they are willing to meet his demands – and make him their joint fifth top earner. But there is no guarantee of a quick transfer as Bayern are in no rush to make a decision on his future. And the Bundesliga champions will be able to demand a hefty fee with Transfermarkt valuing him at £58.5million. United are in the market for a new winger with Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo both top targets. Coman has long been linked and could be ...

Juventus reportedly join 13-time UCL winners in the race for Everton man
Transfer market agent and intermediary Ivan Reggiani has told Calciomercato that Juventus are weighing up appointing Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti as their next boss. While he led the Serie A giants to the Coppa Italia prize last night, missing out on a top-four finish could cost manager Andrea Pirlo his job. Juventus have not particularly impressed under the 42-year-old, and it appears that they are looking at potential replacements ahead of next season.

Seven players on the transfer list as Real Madrid look to fund Kylian Mbappe deal
Real Madrid have placed seven first-team players on the transfer list as they look to raise funds to sign Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe. It’s no secret how much Los Blancos president Florentino Perez admires the youngster. It is believed that he is the club’s number one target. However, despite having just one year remaining on his current contract, the 22-year-old would cost an incredible fee. PSG spent €180 million on him back in 2018, and they would likely demand a similar fee this time around. In Madrid’s current financial situation, this is not possible without making big sales. As a result, the Spanish giants have made seven players available for sale, according to Marca. Isco Isco hasn’t been at his best in recent years Once one of the brightest talents at the club, attacki...
