Macae Overview

Real Madrid have secured one of the biggest coups of the summer by officially confirming the arrival of Bernardo Silva on a free transfer from Manchester City. The Portuguese magician heads to the Bernabeu to lead a new era under the returning Jose Mourinho, after ending nearly a decade of dominance in the Premier League.

Manchester City remain in the hunt for Elliot Anderson, with Nottingham Forest reportedly demanding a British record transfer package of £125 million-plus ($168m) for the England international midfielder. Reds legend Stan Collymore has told GOAL how the classy 23-year-old would represent “value for money” and become an “absolute bargain”, with those concepts becoming increasingly difficult to judge in modern sport.

Marcus Rashford is facing an uncertain summer after returning to Manchester United following a loan spell in La Liga. While the forward has been linked with several European giants, a specific contract clause has now come to light that could dictate his next destination.

Jose Mourinho has set his sights on Borussia Dortmund’s midfield engine Felix Nmecha as he looks to reconstruct the Real Madrid engine room. The Portuguese tactician is reportedly a huge admirer of the German international, though he faces a significant battle to secure his signature.
