World News – AU – News and gossip broadcast LIVE – Arsenal for Celtic midfielders, Everton plan goalkeeper change

« Alaba could be imminent » is Marca’s headline. Real Madrid are « best placed » to sign the defender and want to « close » the deal as soon as possible. « 

Apparently a four-year contract offer of 10 million euros per season is being prepared, so no wonder he was eager to hit the market.

In today’s Euro Papers, Real Madrid are following both Eduardo Camavinga and David Alaba to improve their side.

Crystal Palace has joined the multitude of clubs watching Ozan Kabak and the Selhurst Park club have made a request to become the Schalke defender.

Dean Jones reported in his « Inside Football » column that Liverpool see Kabak as a potential target for the January transfer window and that the Dail Mail now also claims Palace is in the chase.

The Turkish defender is valued at £ 25million. Palace are hoping to unload James Tomkins and Mamadou Sakho to fund a move for Kazan, whose form has been mixed this season as Schalke were rooted at the foot of the Bundesliga.

Eric Garcia is widely expected to sign a pre-contract with Barcelona but the Catalan club could look to sign the Manchester City defender this month if things develop in a certain way.

The Spanish outlet Sport (via Sport Witness) reports that the upcoming presidential election at the Camp Nou could have an impact on whether Barcelona City has made an offer to sign Garcia in the January window.

Interim President Carles Tusquets wants to approve a mid-season change for Garcia. While all of the presidential candidates support the young defense attorney’s signing, many would prefer to sign him as a free agent.

Garcia has long been rewarded with a return to Barcelona, ​​where he got through the youth system. Ronald Koeman’s move to the last three players means the Catalans need greater options in central defense.

Odsonne Edouard has been mentioned as a potential Arsenal target more than once, but it’s another Celtic player who are reportedly interested in the Gunners now.

, Ryan Christie is being watched by Arsenal. The 25-year-old has developed into a key figure for the club and the country in recent years and will no longer have a contract at the end of the 2021/22 season.

A number of Premier League clubs, including Brighton, Burnley, Leicester City, Newcastle United and Southampton, are believed to be interested in Christie. The player is open to a move from Celtic should an offer be accepted.

Arsenal desperately need a creative midfielder, but Christie is more of a goal threat than an assistant. Still, the Scottish international has reached new heights lately and may be ready to take the next step in his career.

Real Madrid are still hoping to sign Luka Modric on a new deal but whether the Croatian stays or leaves, the Spanish champions are interested in Edouardo Camavinga.

The French teenager was a sensation for Rennes this season and AS Real Madrid has an offer coming up for the summer.

Camavinga is believed to be the next great midfielder in the game. He made his senior debut for France and has been linked to a move to the Santiago Bernabeu for at least a year.

With Casemiro, Toni Kroos and Modric all getting older, it seems like Real Madrid would be missing out on something special if they allowed Camavinga to move elsewhere. Zidane is considered a big fan.

Let’s go – Mauricio Pochettino was confirmed as the new manager of Paris Saint-Germain after Thomas Tuchel’s dismissal earlier this week. He has signed a contract until summer 2022.

Pochettino has been unemployed since leaving Tottenham Hotspur over a year ago and has been linked to a number of positions at clubs including Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid.

« As you know, this club has always held a special place in my heart. I have wonderful memories of it, especially the unique atmosphere at the Parc des Princes, « Pochettino is quoted as saying, referring to his time as a player at the Parc des Princes.

« I come back to the club today with a lot of ambition and humility, while also trying hard to work with some of the most talented players in the world.

« This team has fantastic potential and I will do everything I can with my staff to optimize Paris Saint-Germain’s results in all competitions. We will also do our best to give our team the combative and offensive identity that the Parisian fans have always loved. « 

Amad Diallo’s move to Manchester United is far from a formality, based at least on comments from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after beating Aston Villa, but there is still some debate about when he will actually make the move.

Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini wants the young winger, who recently broke into the first team, to stay with the Serie A club until the end of the season.

« Diallo is from United but I want him to stay with us until June. Obviously it depends on his club, « Gasperini told Gianluca di Marzio.

It has been widely reported that Mauricio Pochettino arrived in the French capital ahead of his appointment as the new Paris Saint-Germain coach and the Argentine is at the club’s base today.

Pochettino could be announced as the new head coach by PSG this afternoon. The former Tottenham Hotspur boss has already been linked to some of his old players.

Dean Jones first reported on Pochettino’s interest in some of his former Tottenham Hotspur players, with Dele, Hugo Lloris, Serge Aurier and Harry Winks all on the Argentine’s radar.

Julian Brandt is on Arsenal’s radar this January, but Borussia Dortmund’s sports director Michael Zorc has downplayed speculations linking the German international to a move to north London.

« I’ve read that too, I can’t say anything else », Zorc is quoted by

Leeds United have reportedly contacted Lucas Vazquez to sign the Real Madrid winger as a free agent at the end of the season.

The 29-year-old will no longer have a contract with Real Madrid board this summer to decide whether or not to offer Vazquez an extension.

Spanish outlet Todofijaches reports that Leeds United contacted Vazquez after the winger is free to speak to other clubs.

Marcelo Bielsa is considered a fan of Vazquez and has asked that the 29-year-old be signed at the beginning of the 2021/22 season, although Real Madrid could still make a new offer.

Everton have had some goalkeeping problems this season. Jordan Pickford made a number of mistakes and the Toffees are already on the trail of a new shot stopper.

Spanish Outlet Ideal Claims Everton are preparing to make a contract offer to Rui Silva with the Granada goalkeeper, who is no longer under contract as of the end of the 2020/21 season.

Silva has become a shining star in the league and helped Granada qualify for the Europa League last season. A number of clubs have been linked to the 26-year-old but Everton is believed to be in the lead.

While the Goodison Park recruitment has been good lately, one could argue that they need a new goalkeeper. Pickford may be England’s number one, but he keeps making mistakes. Silva would be an upgrade.

Lazio are reportedly on the market for a new left-back in January and one name has emerged as a potential target – Manchester City’s Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Corriere dello Sport claim the € 20million-rated defender, who has only played six games for City this season, could be on his way to Serie A with a loan option.

A loan deal for Zinchenko would likely include an option to purchase the player. Other names on Lazio’s shortlist are Lilles Domagoj Bradaric.

The situation regarding William Saliba at Arsenal is special as the young defender is currently banned from the Emirates Stadium first team squad.

L’Equipe (via Sport Witness) reports « All options are open » for Saliba, with the January transfer window now open. The youngster is very playful and has been banned from Arsenal’s Premier League squad, which is unlikely for his current club.

Clubs in England, France, Germany and the Netherlands have all been named as potential candidates for Saliba, but it is Nice that is primarily identified by L’Equipe as a club that could switch for the Frenchman.

Saliba was rated highly in Saint-Etienne and formed a strong partnership with Wesley Fofana who was successful in Leicester City this season. Arsenal’s decision to overlook the young prospect continues to be confusing.

Demarai Gray is out of contract at Leicester City at the end of the season but the 24-year-old has some interesting opportunities ahead of him.

The Sun reported yesterday that Benfica and Marseille are both interested in the Leicester City man and his interest was confirmed today by France Football.

Gray has long been a star of the future, but he’s turned down the pecking order at King Power Stadium this season and is expected to leave by the end of the 2020-21 season.

Leicester City has yet to decide whether they intend to secure a transfer fee for the player by selling him in January or keep him until the end of the season if they lose the 24-year-old for free.

One of the biggest stories in Spanish football right now concerns the future of Luka Modric and Sergio Ramos, with both Real Madrid stalwarts running out of contracts at the end of the season.

There have been suggestions lately that discussions with Modric have gone well, but AS reports that there are major obstacles in the talks about an extension for Ramos.

Discussions have been hampered by Real Madrid’s cost-cutting plans after being badly hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. Ramos is free to speak to other clubs but talks with Real Madrid continue.

Tottenham Hotspur have been busy in the summer window and have made no fewer than eight new additions to their squad, but Jose Mourinho expects January to be much quieter.

« I don’t expect no, » he said when asked if new signatures would be made this month. « Times are not easy. The club went to great lengths in the summer to build a good squad.

« Honestly, if something good had happened to us, it would be a big surprise to me. I don’t have the right to ask for anything. « 

Everton have a successful season despite yesterday’s home defeat to West Ham and Gylfi Sigurdsson could line up as a reward for a new contract.

The Daily Mail reports that the Goodison Park team are considering offering the Icelandic international a new deal after re-working their way into Carlo Ancelotti’s plans.

« I really enjoyed working with the manager, » the playmaker recently said of Ancelotti. « Man to man, he is fantastic and has to deal with different situations. He’s very calm, probably because he’s seen it all before and knows exactly what to do. He’s just a great person to be here. « 

David Alaba’s future has been the subject of much speculation lately, but there may finally be concrete news on the horizon.

Marca report that Real Madrid have made a firm deal offer to the Austrian defender amid the interests of Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United.

Real Madrid’s efforts to sign Alaba, who is out of contract with Bayern Munich at the end of the 2020/21 season, are expected to accelerate in the coming days. The contract on the table is a four-year contract worth 10 million. € per year.

Fabrizio Romano claims Alaba’s dream train is to the Spanish capital, but he still has a number of options ahead of him.

As mentioned earlier, moving to Paris Saint-Germain could be an option for Eriksen, but there may be another escape route for Eriksen.

Gazzetta dello Sport report that Valencia are interested in signing Eriksen in the January transfer window, which will most likely be a short term loan deal until the end of the season.

Inter would almost certainly have to take over most of Eriksen’s wages as Valencia are currently in poor financial shape.

The Spanish club were forced to sell most of their best players over the summer window. Rodrigo Moreno, Ferran Torres, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Francis Coquelin and Dani Parejo all left the Mestalla.

Javi Gracia’s side are currently facing a battle against relegation in La Liga. Eriksen would increase their chances of survival, but there are more options for the Dane this month.

Mauricio Pochettino arrived in the French capital yesterday ahead of his expected appointment as the new Paris Saint-Germain coach and the Argentine is already linked to a raid on his former club.

Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen are two players linked with a move to Parc des Princes (per AS), with the former currently falling out of favor at Tottenham Hotspur.

In fact, Dele has struggled to make a good impression on Jose Mourinho this season and may therefore find the prospect of a fresh start under Pochettino, who got the best of him and was appealing in north London.

Eriksen is another player whose career jumped the nose recently. The Dane is way down the pecking order at Inter but Pochettino could appreciate his chances of restoring Eriksen as one of Europe’s top playmakers.

Dean Jones first covered Pochettino’s interest in some of his former Tottenham Hotspur players in his Inside Football column, with Dele, Hugo Lloris, Serge Aurier and Harry Winks all on the Argentine’s radar.

It was the saga of the summer that ended up mattering very little, but we may not have heard the last speculation that Manchester United linked a move for Jadon Sancho.

Old Trafford Club now believe their strategy of not paying Borussia Dortmund’s high £ 107m price for the English winger this summer will pay off.

United believe they can sign Sancho for a lot less next summer. The 20-year-old’s form has dropped significantly this season, with Dortmund potentially accepting less than £ 100m for the player at the end of the season.

It is reported that Manchester United are unaffected by the loss of form and still see Sancho as a key element of their long-term future. The Red Devils may not be the only team interested in the Englishman, however.
