REAL MADRID look set to land Juventus striker Alvaro Morata, although he could be off to Arsenal during the summer transfer window.
As of now, the Spanish starlet has publicly said he's happy to play for the Bianconeri in the future, though rumours indicate he could be leaving Serie A.
Real Madrid, whom the 23-year-old played for from 2010 to 2014, seem set to re-acquire their former starlet by paying a €30m buy-back clause to the Old Lady.
Arsenal are reportedly ready to then pay €60m to Los Blancos to sign the Spanish striker and secure his services for the next Premier League season.
During this past campaign, Morata recorded 12 goals and as many assists in 47 appearance in all competitions, including scoring the lone goal in Juventus's 1-0 victory over AC Milan in the Coppa Italia final.
ASTON VILLA midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye wants to stay in the Premier League despite continued interest from Marseille.
The 26-year-old has a release clause set at £7.1m and Marseille see him as a key recruit as they plan a summer rebuild.
They wanted to sign him from Lille last summer, only to be pipped by big-spending Villa, and have continued to keep in contact since January.
Gueye is represented by Mark McKay of ExcelFoot, who helped West Ham sign Dimitri Payet from Marseille, and wants to find another club in the Premier League following Villa's relegation.
Despite Villa's disappointing season, Gueye returned some impressive individual statistics particularly with interceptions and tackles, comparing favourably with Leicester City's N'Golo Kante.
JOSE MOURINHO will be named Manchester United manager in the next 48 hours and is determined to make Zlatan Ibrahimovic his first signing at Old Trafford.
Ibrahimovic is a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, but would still demand an £8m signing-on fee, spread over a two-year contract, and wages of more than £200,000 a week.
The 34-year-old Sweden star is the kind of iconic figure wanted by United chief Ed Woodward to launch the Mourinho era, and is believed to be keen on working with his old Inter Milan coach again.
Mourinho's appointment moved a step closer when his agent Jorge Mendes met Woodward in London on Tuesday. They agreed terms on a three-year contract worth £45m and discussed possible transfer targets.
Those include Everton defender John Stones, who Mourinho tried to sign for Chelsea last summer.
Mourinho will face fierce competition from Manchester City and their new manager Pep Guardiola in what could be the first of many battles between the fierce rivals
