Alvaro Arbeloa has confirmed his departure from Real Madrid after only four months in charge of the first team. The former defender thanked the club and players for their support as reports continue to link Jose Mourinho with a return to the Bernabeu.

According to various media reports, Spanish runners-up Real Madrid have three options to replace outgoing captain Dani Carvajal (34) at right-back.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has issued a defiant response to Florentino Perez, describing the Real Madrid chief’s recent accusations regarding the Negreira case as "grotesque." The Blaugrana leader suggested that the explosive claims from the capital are merely a smokescreen to distract from Los Blancos' lack of silverware over the last two seasons.

Jose Mourinho's spectacular return to Real Madrid is drawing ever closer. On Friday, the club's current manager, Alvaro Arbeloa, announced he will leave the club at the end of the season.
