Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Madrid clubs to move for Chelsea duo Hazard & Alonso

Chelsea are facing a battle to keep hold of Eden Hazard and Marcos Alonso as La Liga comes calling, says <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelseas-eden-hazard-marcos-alonso-13117497" target="_blank">the Mirror</a>. Hazard is in the crosshairs of Real Madrid, who will look to make one last push to tempt the Blues man as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. Alonso meanwhile is wanted by Atletico Madrid, who are keen on him as a like-for-like replacement should Filipe Luis depart to Paris Saint-Germain.

Manchester United are set to rekindle their interest in Real Madrid defender during the January transfer window, according to <a href="https://www.donbalon.com/noticia/detalle/99678/mourinho-tiene-crack-real-madrid-lista-united-jugador-quiere-salir" target="_blank">Don Balon</a>. The Red Devils have been heavily linked with the France international in the past, with Jose Mourinho a big fan of the World Cup winner. He is now readying a fresh approach, with United having been left frustrated in their efforts to land a new centre-half before the summer deadline passed.

Manchester United have no intention of parting with Jose Mourinho and bringing in former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, reports <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45253623" target="_blank">BBC Sport</a>. A source inside Old Trafford has said:&nbsp;"Why would we discuss Zidane when there is no job?"

Chelsea are ready to hand Eden Hazard a five-year contract worth&nbsp;£300,000 ($385K) a week, but remains hesitant to sign a new deal, according to the <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/7060947/chelsea-eden-hazard-mauricio-sarri-real-madrid/" target="_blank">Sun</a>. Hazard wants to win the Champions League - something that can't happen with the Blues this year as they missed out on the Premier League&nbsp;top four. Should the club miss out again on next season's Champions League, Hazard would demand an exit.

Barcelona will be patient over signing Paul Pogba and could wait until January to sign the France international, <a href="https://www.donbalon.com/noticia/detalle/99687/pacto-secreto-florentino-perez-traer-nuevo-sergio-busquets-real-madrid" target="_blank">Don Balon</a> states. The Catalans are 90% sure they will not sign him before the end of the summer transfer window but are prepared to wait for events at Old Trafford to unfold before swooping in the winter. Pogba's relationship with manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly strained and the Camp Nou side are ready to pounce, just as they did for Philippe Coutinho when they took him from Liverpool in January.

Barcelona have told Paris Saint-Germain that they will have to pay Ivan Rakitic's release clause if they are to sign him, <a href="http://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2018/08/20/5b7afa7246163f1e638b45a3.html" target="_blank">Marca</a> reports. The Croatia international was one of the stars of the World Cup and the Parisians want him to reinforce their midfield, where they may lose Adrien Rabiot. However, they have been told to stump up €125m (£112m/$144m) in order to complete a deal.

The troubled times at Manchester United are set to continue as manager Jose Mourinho and CEO Ed Woodward are set to go to war over Anthony Martial, <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/724569/Man-Utd-manager-Jose-Mourinho-in-new-Ed-Woodward-plea-to-sell-Anthony-Martial" target="_blank">The Star</a> says. The France star has been peripheral for months under the Portuguese, who wants the former Monaco man off his books. Woodward, however, believes that Martial must go for big money if he is to leave Old Trafford.

Arsenal are determined to stand firm over their refusal to double Aaron Ramsey’s wage packet but remain hopeful he will stay with the club, according to the <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-tell-aaron-ramsey-to-forget-mesut-ozilstyle-pay-rise-as-contract-talks-continue-a3916901.html" target="_blank">Evening Standard</a>. The Wales international is in the midst of trying to secure a better deal at the Emirates and is believed to want a hefty increase on his current contract. The Gunners however are not bowing to pressure and Ramsey may look to secure an exit instead before the European transfer window shuts at the end of August.

Juventus are eager to tie down experienced midfielder Sami Khedira to a new deal as soon as possible, per <a href="http://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/serie-a/juventus/2018/08/21-46627122/juve_la_stagione_dei_rinnovi_3_sono_in_scadenza_nel_2019/" target="_blank">Tuttosport</a>. The Germany international has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks with Paris Saint-Germain thought to be keen on the 31-year-old. But with the renewal of Miralem Pjanic’s contract now completed by the Serie A champions, they are keen to ensure that Khedira also commits his future to the Allianz Stadium.

Everton winger Yannick Bolasie will decide on whether to join Middlesbrough or Aston Villa on loan in the next 24 hours, says <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/7069479/everton-yannick-bolasie-boro-aston-villa/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>. The Toffees have accepted loan offers from the Championship pair and both are keen to secure the DR Congo international’s services. Bolasie made 32 appearances for Everton over the course of the 2016-17 and 2017-18 campaigns but is believed to be currently surplus to Marco Silva’s plans.

Real Madrid have been warned by Valencia's director general Mateu Alemany that they must pay Rodrigo Moreno's €120m (£108m/$139m) release clause if they want to sign him. The forward has been linked with a move to the European champions, with head coach Julen Lopetegui said to be keen on a reunion with the Spain international. Alemany however is confident the 27-year-old will snub a return to the club he joined as a youngster back in 2009. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/real-madrid-warned-they-must-pay-rodrigos-120m-release/sj6tia2so8xz1mgh3llejap8l">Read the full story on GOAL here!</a>

League One outfit Burton Albion are to offer a pay-as-you-play contract to free agent Darren Bent, reports <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45245079" target="_blank">BBC Sport</a>. Bent, who won the Football League Cup with Tottenham in 2008 alongside 13 caps for England between 2006 and 2011, spent the end of the 2017-18 campaign on loan with the club from Derby County. The 34-year-old has scored 178 league goals across a 17-year senior career and would further bolster Nigel Clough’s squad following their relegation to the third tier.

Swansea, Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday are all thought to be interested in a short-term deal for the 20-year-old USA international. Carter-Vickers has only made four appearances for Spurs since turning professional in 2016 and has spent previous time on loan at Ipswich.

Real Madrid’s Raul de Tomas looks set to re-join newly-promoted La Liga outfit Rayo Vallecano on a temporary basis once more, according to <a href="http://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2018/08/21/5b7be780468aebc1078b4576.html" target="_blank">Marca</a>. De Tomas spent the 2017-18 season on loan at Rayo as they topped the Segunda Division, returning to the first-tier following their relegation in 2016. The 23-year-old signed a new contract with Real in June that takes him through to 2023 but the Champions League holders are keen for him to continue gaining first-team experience elsewhere.

Barcelona will be unable to trigger their buy-back clause for Yerry Mina until 2020, it has emerged, reports <a href="http://www.marca.com/en/football/2018/08/21/5b7bce34468aeb1d028b4613.html" target="_blank">Marca</a>. The Colombia international left the Liga champions in search of more regular first-team football this transfer window and has signed with Premier League club Everton. The Catalan outfit had ensured that they would be able to repurchase the defender at a later date from the Toffees if they wish to, but will not be able to bring him back to Camp Nou until the January window of the 2019-20 season at the earliest.

The 32-year-old, who has been at Anoeta since 2009, has seen Theo Hernandez signed in his position for the new campaign and looks unlikely to secure regular game-time.

The Serbia international has been linked with a move away from the Serie A side to either their Italian rivals or another major European club following a stellar World Cup in Russia.

Zinedine Zidane would be “the ideal candidate” to take the reins at Manchester United, says former Red Devils man Lee Sharpe. The ex-Real Madrid manager, who walked away from the club following a third Champions League title in a row in May, has been linked to the top job at Old Trafford as rumours swirl about the future of Jose Mourinho. United have taken one win from their first two games of the Premier League season, winning against Leicester City but then losing to Brighton and Hove Albion. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/zidane-the-ideal-candidate-to-replace-mourinho-at-man-utd/zbr65mdo2dz01lctkvpyq80m4" target="_blank">Read the full story on GOAL here!</a>

Barcelona striker Paco Alcacer has become Borussia Dortmund's top summer priority, <a href="https://abonnes.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Paco-alcacer-priorite-du-borussia-dortmund/932282" target="_blank">L'Equipe</a> states. The Spain international has been on the fringes of things with the Catalans and could move to Germany, where BVB are desperate for more firepower.&nbsp;

Alcacer targeted by Dortmund

Former Hoffenheim striker Anthony Modeste has appealed to FIFA for help to leave Chinese side&nbsp;Tianjin Quanjian, <a href="https://sport.sky.de/fussball/artikel/transferstreit-modeste-bittet-fifa-um-hilfe/11477511/34240" target="_blank">Sky Sport </a>reports. The attacker wants to depart the CSL but is fearful they will not grant his request to move. Borussia Dortmund are interested in him, while he is also in contact with sides in France, Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Real Madrid are to wait until the last minute in the transfer window in order to sign Borussia Dortmund's Julian&nbsp;Weigl, <a href="https://www.donbalon.com/noticia/detalle/99687/pacto-secreto-florentino-perez-traer-nuevo-sergio-busquets-real-madrid" target="_blank">Don Balon</a> reports. Dubbed 'the new Sergio Busquets', Weigl will not be sold for less than €75m (£67m/$86m) by BVB. Madrid president Florentino Perez, however, believes that making a late bid will allow his side to save on that figure.&nbsp;

Sergio Busquets' new Barcelona contract will have a release clause worth €500m (£449m/$574m) and will run until 2023, according to figures obtained by <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20180820/451381203567/barca-busquets-contrato-revision-clausula.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>.&nbsp; Busquets has not yet signed the deal, but the two parties have come to an agreement, which should be made official soon.

Busquets' contract details revealed

Chelsea have told Ruben Loftus-Cheek that he must remain at Stamford Bridge, the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/aug/20/ruben-loftus-cheek-chelsea-england-maurizio-sarri" target="_blank">Guardian</a> states. The England midfielder impressed at Crystal Palace last season and new manager Maurizio Sarri has told him he will get a change to impress with the Blues. As such, any loan offers before the end of the European transfer window will not be considered.

Loftus-Cheek to remain at Chelsea

Bordeaux have made contact with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry over the possibility of him becoming their next coach, <a href="https://abonnes.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Ligue-1-thierry-henry-n-a-pas-dit-non-aux-girondins-de-bordeaux/932322" target="_blank">L'Equipe</a> reports. Currently on the Belgium staff, the former striker has not knocked back the Ligue 1 side, although his wages could complicate any deal. The likes of Jurgen Klinsmann and Laurent Blanc have also been linked with the post.
