Goalkeeper - David De Gea

According to Mirror Football, Real Madrid will launch a £23million bid for Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea next summer; whilst The Daily Mail report that Chelsea are lining up Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann as a replacement for Eden Hazard. 

The Spain international came close to joining the Bernabeu ranks last summer until a deal offering £25million and Keylor Navas in exchange missed La Liga’s 11pm deadline on the final day of the transfer window.

The 25-year-old has since signed a new contract at Old Trafford but Real Madrid are widely expected to revive their interest at the end of the season and Mirror Football claim they’re now preparing a £23million bid. The La Liga giants will also issue De Gea a mouth-watering £6.5million signing-on fee if their offer is accepted.

Meanwhile, The Daily Mail report that Chelsea have earmarked Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann as their priority replacement for Eden Hazard, should the Belgium international push for a move away from Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.

The France international, who can operate as a wide man or a central striker, has bagged 44 goals in 84 appearances since signing for the Vincente Calderon outfit in summer 2014, including 19 strikes across all competitions this season. His £60million release clause is within Chelsea’s financial reach, but PSG are also interested.
