Transfer: Real Madrid take final decision on Sergio Ramos future

 

Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez, has finally decided not to allow captain, Serigo Ramos leave the Santiago Bernabeu for a club in the Chinese Super League this summer’s transfer window.

We had reported that Ramos is set to leave Real Madrid after clashing with the club’s president, Florentino Perez, on several occasions.

Perez said Ramos and his agent told him they had received ‘a very good offer from China’, adding that the Los Blancos refused the centre-back’s request.

The 72-year-old said that Real Madrid will not allow the 33-year-old Spain international to leave Bernabeu for free as that would set a terrible precedent for other players.

“They (Ramos and his agent) came to see me in my office and told me they had a very good offer from China but the league rules over there wouldn’t permit them to pay the transfer fee,” Perez told radio station, Onda Cero.

“What was I going to tell him? We said this couldn’t happen but we’d speak to the club to satisfy him but that Real Madrid could not afford to let its captain leave for free as that would set a terrible precedent for other players,” he said.

Laliga: Zidane disagrees with Real Madrid head over his son

 

Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has disagreed with the board over the role of his son, Luca, at the club, Marca reports.

Thibaut Courtois has established himself as their No.1, but Zidane has told back-up goalkeeper, Keylor Navas, he can leave the club this summer.

Zidane was told by club director, Jose Angel Sanchez and Juni Calafat, that they would have a first-choice goalkeeper and a young back-up next season.

The Frenchman has followed the club’s wishes, by informing Navas his future lies elsewhere, in a meeting at their training ground last week.

But he plans to go against the wishes of club bosses, by installing his own son, Luca, as his No.2 instead of youngster Andriy Lunin.

Lunin is who the board had in mind to be Courtois’s understudy, with reports Luca could leave the club on loan to gain more experience.

But his father believes he is up to the task.

Lunin has had an unsuccessful loan spell at Leganes and played just six matches having failed to establish himself as first choice.

LaLiga: Jurgen Klopp To Replace Real Madrid Boss, Zidane

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, is attracting interest from Real Madrid.

According to The Sun, the club want him if they sack Zinedine Zidane at the end of this season.

Zidane is expected to remain at the club if he wins the Champions League, but the club’s poor league form has put his position under threat.

Klopp has become a target for the LaLiga giants, following his success with Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool in the European competition.

The Liverpool boss could still have a say in whether Madrid will retain the Champions League if both sides progress to the semi-finals.

Bayern Munich have also been linked with Klopp, but reports in Germany say Madrid hold the most interest.

Spanish news outlet, Don Balon reports that Messi was impressed with Alonso’s performances over the two games.

The Argentine captain urged the club to make a move for the Chelsea’s flying full-back.

Messi wants some new faces and also calls for competition for Jordi Alba at left-back.

LaLiga: Ronaldo Demands A Reshuffle Of Real Madrid Players, Names 7 Players To Replace

Real Madrid Superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly wants seven players out of the club this summer.

Ronaldo has met club president Florentino Perez, demanding that no less than seven players are shipped out of the Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid are looking up for a huge squad overhaul this summer after a frustrating domestic campaign.

Bitter rivals Barcelona are running away with La Liga title as they currently sit 15 points clear of Real.

And the disappointment has prompted the Portugal captain to summon Perez for showdown talks to air out his feelings.

The first star to feel his wrath is £75m rated attacking-midfielder Isco.

A source at the club told Spanish newspaper, Diario Gol, that Ronaldo does not like Isco’s attitude on or off the field and wants him gone.

Manchester City are reportedly confident of landing Isco who scored a hat-trick in Spain’s 6-1 win over Argentina on Tuesday.

Ronaldo also told the club president that Mateo Kovacic and Marcos Llorente are not up the required standard and should be shown the door.

Ronaldo is adamant that Perez must look to enhance the Real squad with a number of Galactico signings after first trimming the fat.

But the most surprising demand made by the five time Ballon d’Or winner is that goalkeeper Keylor Navas is sold.

Although the pair have an excellent relationship, Ronaldo wants to see David de Gea, Marc Andre Ter Stegen or Thibaut Courtois between the posts.

The final three stars who look set to be moving on are youngsters Borja Mayoral, Jesus Vallejo and Achraf Hakimi.

Messi Explain His New Role In Barcelona, Says He Don't Play Selfish Game Anymore

Barcelona star, Lionel Messi has explained his new role at the club.

Messi revealed that he has become less selfish and has evolved into more of a team player.

The 30-year-old disclosed that he does not play individual football like before.

According to Messi, he tries to move the team from one position to another on the pitch.

“Before, I used to try to steal the ball and make something happen on my own — or at least try to do something on my own,” Messi told America TV.

“Now, I try to make the team play more. I pass the ball more and I try not to be so selfish, if you will. I try to move the team from one position to another. I still run as much as ever, just in a different way.”

Meanwhile, Messi is effectively the second forward in a 4-4-2 formation under manager, Ernesto Valverde.

The forward increasingly finds himself in a deeper position, often dropping into his own half to get on the ball in central positions and dictate play.

Laliga: Busquets Is Irreplaceable, Barcelona Boss, Valverde Reveals

Barcelona manager, Ernesto Valverde, has admitted it would be difficult to replace Sergio Busquets against Athletic Bilbao this weekend, hailing the midfielder as “the best in the world” at what he does.

Busquets, 29, broke a bone in his foot in the Champions League win against Chelsea on Wednesday and will be sidelined for the next three weeks.

He is one of five players missing for Athletic’s visit to Camp Nou on Sunday. Thomas Vermaelen, Nelson Semedo and Denis Suarez are also out due to injury and Luis Suarez is suspended.

Valverde has called up the Barca midfielder, Carles Alena, who he said has a “very big future” at the club.

“It’s always bad to lose players of [Busquets’] calibre.

“Busquets is fundamental for the team. He is the best player in the world in his position, so it’s not easy to replace him, but there are alternatives — [Ivan] Rakitic has played that role very well.

“Rakitic is having an extraordinary season. Maybe his role isn’t as attacking as it was at Sevilla, but players do move around. They don’t always stay in the same position. Rakitic is a very important player for us,” Valverde told a press conference on Saturday.

Laliga: Zidane Praises Neymar, Says He Will Do Well In Real Madrid

 

Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has praised Neymar, saying he could fit into any team including the LaLiga giants.

Neymar, who joined Paris Saint-Germain last summer in a €222million transfer from Barcelona, has been linked to Madrid in recent months.

On Friday, Mundo Deportivo reported that he was seekinga return to Barcelona this summer.

“Neymar would fit in at every club because he is very good just as other players,” Zidane told a news conference on Friday.

“I’m not going to talk about a player that is not mine.

“They [PSG] paid €222m, that’s what it is. When I was bought [by Real Madrid] they paid €72m or something like that and I thought it was crazy. Ten years later it’s €222m… in 10 years time or even earlier than that, they might spend €400m.”
