Three clubs are ready to pay Neymar’s release clause

- Atletico Madrid have completed the signing of Argentina midfielder Nicolas Gaitan for a reported deal worth €25million.

"Atletico Madrid and Benfica have reached an agreement for the transfer of Nicolas Gaitan to his new team," said a statement from Atletico.

- Real Madrid are plotting a move for West Ham’s Dimitri Payet. The Spanish giants have reportedly been monitoring the player at Euro 2016, and Zinedine Zidane is said to be the midfielder’s fan. Payet has been brilliant this season, scoring 12 and assisting another 12 for West Ham.

However, his agent Mark McKay said earlier this week that only a massive bid would see his client leave the Hammers. “As far as I am concerned, he's been happy at West Ham and it's down to West Ham that he's in the position that he is in," McKay said.

- Neymar is attracting interest from “three big clubs”, but is happy to stay at Barcelona, according to his former agent Wagner Ribeiro. Speaking to a Brazilian radio, Ribeiro said that there are as many as three clubs who are willing to pay Neymar’s £158million release clause.

He refused to comment on the issue any further, saying: “I cannot say any more in this conversation because it is confidential. I can only assure you that Neymar is happy in Barcelona."
