Lionel Messi’s fear of Tottenham star, Pochettino requests Florentino Perez for a player and more: Premier League transfer news February 8, 2018

#1 Manchester madness

The wall of Madrid

According to Diario Gol, Isco Alarcon has confessed that he has three offers as he could leave in the summer. The three teams interested in him are Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City, out of which Pep Guardiola’s team seem like the likeliest of options.

Meanwhile, another report from the same outlet says that Jose Mourinho will sell David De Gea to Madrid, but will only do so if he gets at least one of three Real Madrid players in Raphael Varane—his supposed first choice—Isco and Marco Asensio.

Finally, Mirror quotes Mircea Lucescu as saying that his former player at Shakhtar, Fred, will join Manchester City next.

“Shakhtar Donetsk’s best player is Fred in the centre of midfield. He was a bit anarchic on the left. I moved him in front of the defence.

“He will go to City like Fernandinho before him.”
