Transfer news UPDATES: Real Madrid want £112m for Bale, Hazard hint
Posted Saturday, April 13, 2019 by Express.co.uk
Real Madrid urged not to sign Pogba and Kante
"I would sign [Eden] Hazard because he'd be more affordable than Kylian Mbappe," Aspas told Marca.
”Pogba or [N'Golo] Kante? Neither. They're not Real Madrid players.
"I like the midfield, which is now at its best.
“They have Dani Ceballos, who's an international but hasn't had continuity and, for example, I like Thiago Alcantara more than Pogba and Kante."
Man City eye Chelsea target
Manchester City are reportedly in the marker for Frankfurt striker Luka Jovic - who is supposedly a Chelsea target.
City may well be on the hunt for strikers in the summer and Jovic is priced at around £50m.
Real Madrid are also interested but Football London claim City’s director of football Txiki Begiristain watched Jovic and Benfica’s Joao Felix Frankfurt’s Europa League clash on Thursday.
City are almost guaranteed to strengthen further in the summer.

Hazard hint
Is this a hint Eden Hazard has decided to leave Chelsea for Real Madrid?
In an interview with RMC Sport, Hazard said: “I am not a Real Madrid player. But as a supporter of Zidane, I was very happy that he came back because football needs Zidane.
“For Real it is good. For the supporters of Real it is good.’
“But for the other teams, a bit less because Real Madrid with Zinedine Zidane win a lot. So it will be difficult.”

Palace move OFF
Manchester United will not be moving for Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the summer, the Sun claim.
United have been tracking Crystal Palace full-back Wan-Bissaka for some time but now feel they don’t need the 21-year-old as Diogo Dalot finds his feet in English football.
Dalit was tipped to leave United just 12 months after his £19m arrival from Porto.
But United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is now happy with the player and does not need to go chasing Wan-Bissaka.

Milan financial worry
UEFA are investigating AC Milan over breaches of Financial Fair Play - and the club face a crucial weekend as they look towards the future.
Milan play Lazio on Saturday as they battle for a top-four finish to Serie A that would guarantee them Champions League football and much-needed millions.
Without that revenue, Milan may struggle to meet future fFP obligations.
And Italian newspaper Courrier dello Sport claim this is the game Krzysztof Piatek - the £30m arrival from Genoa in January - needs to step up and justify his signing.

Real Madrid want £112m for Bale
Real Madrid will put Gareth Bale on the transfer market this summer but want £112m for the Welshman.
And they reckon a Premier League club will take the hit and sign Bale, 29, before the start of net season.
AS claim Real want to sell Bale and reckon he is worth over £100m when matched up against some of world football’s other top stars, such as Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele.
But where could he end up? Manchester United seem like the clear choice but may look elsewhere for targets.
Arsenal are not expected to spend that much in the summer, nor are Tottenham.
Chelsea are under a transfer embargo, meaning the only other realistic top-six club would be Liverpool.
And they’re not exactly short of attacking talent.

Emery on Ramsey exit
Arsenal manager Unai Emery insists Aaron Ramsey is still committed to the club despite his impending move to Juventus.
“His performances in this moment for us show that he wants to do something important with us,” the Gunners boss said.
“Because I think he feels a lot for Arsenal as a club. When he’s here with our supporters, he gives us all he can, not individually, but in the collective.
“I want to enjoy this moment with him. I want to do something important with him. His focus is very big, he’s thinking of Arsenal only.”
