Grimaldo on Real's radar
Now that Xabi Alonso's arrival has been sealed, Real Madrid have switched their focus to meeting the Spaniard's transfer demands. One of the priority positions is left-back. Ferland Mendy can't remain fit, and Fran Garcia is simply not up to the level.
A report in the Spanish publication Relevo claims Alejandro Grimaldo is being considered as an option. The Leverkusen left-back, who is a product of Barcelona's academy, is highly rated by Alonso, who believes Grimaldo could fit into Los Blancos' plans. If the Bundesliga outfit's asking price is reasonable, Real would seriously consider signing him. Whispers Rating: 3/5

Botman to snub PSG
The return of Champions League football to St James' Park will boost Newcastle United's budget, but their intention to keep hold of their best players will lead to a drastic wage increase, putting a greater burden on the club. As such, there are question marks over the futures of Alexander Isak and Sven Botman heading into the summer.
According to The i Paper, Botman has attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain, but he is open to a new deal with the Magpies. Whether Newcastle would be able to offer their central defender a more lucrative contract than PSG remains to be seen. Whispers Rating: 2.5/5
