Manchester, Madrid madness
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane apparently doesn’t want Casemiro in the team, despite the fact that he was an essential cog in Madrid’s midfield under him. N’Golo Kante is the replacement that Zidane wants.
"Zidane does not want Casemiro, although he was key in the resurrection of Zidane's first stint at Madrid," Eduardo Inda revealed. "He wants to sign Kanté [from Chelsea]," he added.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane is being eyed by Juventus according to Tuttosport. This comes after reports surfaced that the Frenchman wants to leave Madrid for a new challenge.
The central defender has a release clause of €200 million and is being eyed by Manchester United and Bayern Munich.
Finally, according to ESPN, Manchester City have moved ahead of Barcelona in the race to sign Saul Niguez in the summer. He has been eyed as a long-term successor to Fernandinho.
