#1 Stories of the day
And finally, we are here. As usual, the top stories always surround the Spanish teams because, for some reason, there are always players or managers in the Premier League that both Real Madrid and Barcelona seem to covet.

According to Don Balon, Florentino Perez offered a whopping £17 million-per-year to Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino but he rejected it simply because he believes he owes Spurs a lot coupled with the fact that he wants changes in the Madrid squad, which can’t be achieved in January.
Meanwhile, another report from the same outlet claims that Liverpool and Arsenal are interested in acquiring the services of James Rodriguez.
