Thats that then, Joselu has officially joined hoffenheim

Apparently 'A Bola' are saying we've signed Witsel and it'll be announced next week. It also says Coentrao will go on loan to Benfica.

Joselu has a buy back clause.

Galatasaray also linked to Sahin.

The Milan is working to further strengthen its workforce. In recent days there is constant talk about the interest in signing Kaka, but according to La Gazzetta dello Sport ahead yesterday, in a story collected by FichajesyCracks , Turkish Nuri Sahin also fit into the plans of the sporting Rossoneri.

Sheikh Al-Khelaïfi has spent €250m since joining PSG. His dream is to turn the French club into one of the leading sides in Europe and he has already brought in Javier Pastore, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic amoungst others in big money deals.

However, according to Marca, the Qatari was unsuccessful in signing both Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain, even after speaking directly to Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

Apparently, the mooted offer for French hitman Benzema far exceeded what Madrid had paid Olympique Lyonnais for him.

BRING YAYA IN.

Maicon hoping Real Madrid call him before 31st August, says Tuttosport.

Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso has rejected new contract talks.

Sport says Xabi is now seriously considering this season to be his last in Madrid.

The former Liverpool playmaker is tied to Real until 2014 and while happy at the Spanish giants, feels his cycle at the club is now coming to an end.

please don't post Sport/Catalan bs properganda please

Alonso trending on twitter because of it.

reports that modric deal has been reached...

Apparently, Luka Modric right now is with the Croatian National Team, and the fans that were in the stadium started cheering: "Madrid, Madrid", and he replied with a smile.



Also Igor Stimac(Croatia NT coach) and Stipe Pletikosa(Croatia GK) have stated that the transfer will be done within days and they seem to be happy about him.

Fulham forward Moussa Dembele has claimed that Real Madrid have made an inquiry about him.

Dembele, 25, has been linked with a move away from Fulham this summer, with Manchester United said to be monitoring the regarding the Belgium international's situation.

But, with Real Madrid struggling to agree a fee with Tottenham for Luka Modric, it appears Dembele is a target for the Liga side.

"My manager has already talked with Real," Dembele told Het Nieuwsblad. "There have been contacts between my agent and Real Madrid. They have wanted information and that was it.

"I cannot say much else about it - everything is calm, but I cannot say where I will be playing."

Dembele was deployed in a deeper midfield role as the 2011-12 season progressed, and the Belgian admits he enjoyed the tactical shift.

He added: "I feel more of a midfielder than striker. It is even my favourite position."

Apparently Mourinho wants Sahin to join Liverpool, but Sahin wants to join Arsenal.

Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin is on the verge of signing for Liverpool on a season-long loan after Los Blancos officials steered him to the Reds instead of fellow English side Arsenal, according to Madrid-based daily Marca.

Why are we so hot for Modric?

I still don't see why? I mean I'm not against a signing that could help us, but I don't see where he will play and how he'd fit in our current system.

I think our system could change. Alonso and Khedira don't really dominate opposition midfields.

We should ask FIFA/UEFA to change the game rules and to be able to play with 12 players.

I don't see how we are going to fit in Modric, with Khedira, Alonso, Ozil and on form Di Maria

It's either Di Maria or Khedira who is going to leave the starting XI.

I see either:

--------Modric--------Alonso
Di Maria---------Ozil-----------Ronaldo
----------Benguain

or

-------------Alonso
-------Modric-----------Khedira
---Ozil-------Benguain-------Ronaldo

or

-----------Alonso
--------Modric--------Ozil
---Di Maria----Benguain-------Ronaldo

Galatasaray are the latest club to show an interest in out of favour Real Madrid playmaker Kaka and hope they can convince him to move to the Turkish Super Lig.

Spanish paper AS reported on Friday that the Istanbul side have joined AC Milan and Los Angeles Galaxy in the race to sign the Brazilian, who Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has said could leave this summer.

Galatasaray are prepared to pay half Kaka's annual salary of €9 million, with Madrid then paying the remainder, but that neither the player nor the club are interested in the idea.

"Our objective is to convince Kaka," club president Unal Aysal said. "He and (Nuri) Sahin are destined to leave Madrid this summer."

Luciano Narsingh, how do you guys rate him, seems and excellent prospect. Amazing pace (same as maria), creative etc.

Statics wise he is a freaking assists beast. 46 games, 28 Assists and 12 goals. Can be good rotation for maria.

Apparently the club want 20m for Kaka, however AC Milan only offered 15m.

ffs meelan how cheap can you be?

Mourinho remains prepared to let Sahin head out of the Santiago Bernabeu on a temporary basis, but does not want to ditch him permanently.

"The most important thing is that he is happy," said Mourinho. "The best for him and for Madrid is that he goes out on loan.

"Madrid don't want to sell him. He needs to play and to prove himself."

Arsenal are close to completing the loan signing of Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin.
The 23-year-old, who has also been targeted by Liverpool this summer, is set to join on a season-long basis with a view to a permanent move.
