  • Mateo Kovacic has indicated his Real Madrid career has come to an end.

    Marseille have made a move to sign World Cup winner Olivier Giroud from Chelsea, as the Blues are looking to make space in their squad for Gonzalo Higuain, the Daily Mirror says.

    In other Stamford Bridge news, Chelsea are also considering making a £30m bid for Aaron Ramsey, according to the Daily Telegraph, but the Daily Mail reports the Blues have given up on signing the Welsh international and Maurizio Sarri has turned his attention to Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic.

    Also said to be in Sarri’s sights is Bayern Munich and Poland international Robert Lewandowski, with the Daily Star reporting Real Madrid also want to sign the £80m-rated striker.

    Marcos Rojo has been told he can leave Manchester United, but only if a club matches the Red Devils’ £30m valuation of the defender, reports the Daily Mirror.

    The paper says Everton are leading the race to sign the Argentina international, with Wolves also reportedly interested in a deal.

    Patrick Bamford, the highly-rated former Nottingham Forest and Chelsea player, could be heading from Middlesbrough to Leeds for a fee of around £7m, reports the Guardian.
