Real Madrid president Florentino Perez remains interested in luring Chelsea star Eden Hazard to the Spanish capital, but not for more than £89&nbsp;million ($115m), according to <a href="https://www.donbalon.com/noticia/detalle/131770/florentino-perez-pone-precio-fichaje-hazard-real-madrid" target="_blank">Don Balon</a>. Hazard has long&nbsp;made clear his wish to play for one of La Liga's top club's one day and Real Madrid have been heavily linked with a move for the Belgian since the exit of Cristiano Ronaldo. This report claims that Hazard's price is lowering all the time he gets closer to the end of his Chelsea contract, which expires in 2020. Perez apparently feels that his side should be able to secure the winger's services for no more than £89m, as he weighs up a potential January offer.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been left 'baffled' by reports that Fabinho could leave the club in January, just months after arriving from Monaco, report the <a href="https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/fabinho-going-nowhere-liverpools-pulisic-15437710" target="_blank">Liverpool Echo</a>. The holding midfielder has been linked with the likes of PSG, AC Milan and Juventus in recent weeks, much to the dismay of those at Anfield. Fabinho has had to stay patient to get his chance at Liverpool and didn't make his full league debut until last month. However, it's reported that Klopp is now happy with the way that Fabinho is adapting to his style of play and sees him as an integral part of his plans going forward.

AC Milan were talked out of following up on talks to sign Cristiano Ronaldo last year, former&nbsp;CEO Marco Fassone has admitted. Ronaldo shocked world football when he announced he would be leaving Real Madrid in the summer before sealing a move to Juventus. But the Portuguese star had flirted with a move 12 months prior and Milan made contact with him. President Li Yonghong wanted to sign Ronaldo, but he was convinced to give up on the dream move by Fassone. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/milan-held-ronaldo-talks-but-were-convinced-to-give-up-the/auov9467e0xi1v47chghnys65" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal</a>
