Arsenal’s ambitious hopes of luring Vinicius Junior to the Emirates Stadium appear to have been dashed as the Brazilian superstar prepares to commit his future to Real Madrid. Despite significant interest from Mikel Arteta’s side, the winger is now expected to remain in the Spanish capital and play a pivotal role under new manager Jose Mourinho.

Real Madrid are considering sending Endrick or Gonzalo Garcia on loan as Jose Mourinho looks to streamline his attack. The Spanish giants are eyeing a move for Bayern Munich star Michael Olise, but Endrick's camp is determined to stay and fight for his place.

CD Leganes general manager Martin Ortega has backed Yan Diomande to thrive at Real Madrid amid reports linking him with a €120 million move to the Santiago Bernabeu. The 19-year-old Ivory Coast winger was only in the Leganes senior squad for a short time before moving to RB Leipzig, but Ortega has put him in the same bracket as Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembele.

Marc Cucurella has released an emotional farewell video to Chelsea supporters over a month after completing a £52 million move to Real Madrid. The 28-year-old left-back departed Stamford Bridge in June to end a four-year spell, and after helping Spain to World Cup glory in North America, he is now preparing to link up with new manager Jose Mourinho in the Spanish capital.
