Los Blancos mull over a move for ex-Liverpool superstar, while the Gunners set their sights on two new forwards. Join us for the round-up of some of the juiciest transfer gossip this Friday.
Real Madrid interested in Firmino
Real Madrid's attack is stacked with the world's best left-wingers, but there's a lack of natural number nine to bring everyone into the game in the final third. Xabi Alonso could address the issue by making a surprise move.
According to AS, Los Blancos are considering signing 33-year-old Roberto Firmino, who is keen to leave Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli after leading them to the AFC Champions League Elite title. It is claimed Madrid are looking for a “Joselu-like” striker this summer – someone who can sit on the bench and deliver when called upon. Whispers Rating: 2/5
