Barcelona are preparing fresh talks with Manchester United over a permanent deal for Marcus Rashford after agreeing personal terms with the England forward. Hansi Flick views Rashford as a key part of his attacking plans, but United remain firm on their €30 million (£26m) valuation.

Jose Mourinho has reached an agreement to return to Real Madrid on a three-year contract, but the move has been complicated by a significant financial development. While 'the Special One' is set for a sensational second stint at the Bernabeu, the timing of the deal has seen his release clause more than double.

Former Real Madrid head coach Jorge Valdano has come to the defence of Kylian Mbappe, insisting that the Frenchman is being unfairly targeted by critics. The legendary Argentine figure believes the narrative surrounding the forward has become toxic since his move to the Bernabeu.

Julian Alvarez has reportedly informed Atletico Madrid of his desire to leave the club this summer, snubbing a massive contract extension in the process. The Argentine forward is understood to be seeking a more ambitious sporting project amid interest from the likes of Barcelona, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain.
