REAL MADRID boss Zinedine Zidane has revealed he will not have the final say on transfers this summer.

Real Madrid is planning a huge summer revamp after a difficult season that has seen them employ three different managers.
Chelsea star Eden Hazard is understood to be their top target and he looks set to leave Stamford Bridge as he enters the final year of his contract.
Neymar is another player who is reportedly being tracked by the club.
Zidane has also admitted he is a huge fan of Manchester United star Paul Pogba, however, he insists the decision on what players to sign will not be solely down to him.
He said: “Will I have plenty of power to decide on transfers and signings? No.
“I’m not even the boss in my own home! There are people here who are very important to the club that helps make decisions and we want to make those together.”
Neymar recently revealed he would like to play alongside Hazard and Zidane teased fans by suggesting both could pair up at the Bernabeu next season.
“I would like to play with Hazard. He has a style similar to mine,” Neymar said last week.
“I think I could give it a try. We would cause havoc together!”
And when Zidane was asked whether they could play together, he replied: “Yes. A lot of players want to come here and play for Real Madrid, but let's see what happens in the future.”
Zidane was also pushed on the future of Gareth Bale who has been linked with a move away from the club.
Bale has been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea having become the scapegoat among fans for their struggles this term.
However, Zidane also claimed he hoped Bale would stay and hinted at the possibility of him playing alongside Hazard and Neymar in a star-studded front line.
“Yes,” he said. “All the good players can play together.
“People told me that I wasn't compatible with [fellow World Cup winner, Yuri] Djorkaeff. What a lot of nonsense, man!
“You can see that Bale is happy. Whether he plays or doesn't play... he's had playing time under me.
“At the end of the season we'll see what's what. I'm not the one who says what Gareth has to do now. He's a player who's part of our plans.
“He has played and he will play more before the end of the season.”

NEYMAR has dropped another transfer hint to Real Madrid by revealing he wants to play with Los Blancos' top target Eden Hazard.

The Paris Saint-Germain star continues to be the subject of plenty of speculation, which is centered on him potentially returning to La Liga.
With Zinedine Zidane expected to spend a boatload of cash this summer to rejuvenate his dispirited Real Madrid squad, Neymar and Chelsea winger Hazard are high on his shopping list.
Zidane will have been offered hope about his chances of sealing summer transfers for the pair when hearing one answer from Neymar in a recent interview.
The Brazilian was asked which player he would love to play with in the future.
“I would like to play with Hazard. He has a style similar to mine,” Neymar told Fox Sports.
“I think I could give it a try. We would cause havoc together!”
Hazard has just over a year left on his Chelsea contract and he may force the Blues into selling him this summer to avoid losing him on a free.
Compatriot Thibaut Courtois forced Chelsea’s hand last summer when he was sold for £35million.
The quotes from Neymar would have had Zidane purring in hope that he can bring both to the Bernabeu to spearhead a new look attack.
Real’s president Florentino Perez will look to sign some new ‘Galacticos’ after paying the price for failing to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
The likes of Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio could be sold after failing to kick on in the past few seasons.
Neymar has openly admitted he has no intentions of leaving Paris in the immediate future, but he refused to close the door on a move to Real.
In the future, everything is possible," he told Brazilian television channel Globo in March.
"I'm not saying I'm going to Real Madrid, calm down. Everybody knows I have already accomplished my dream which was [playing for] Barcelona.
"Real Madrid is one of the biggest teams in the world, every player perceived to have an interest in the club wants to play for them. Right now I'm very happy in Paris."
Neymar won his second Ligue 1 title last weekend when PSG's closest rivals Lille drew 0-0 at Toulouse.

Florentino Pérez wanted it and now they remember him.
The Real Madrid lives the reconstruction with a view to the next year with some places granted and others that wait for a new occupant.
Hazard will take the left wing, Benzema stands as owner in the center and Zidane asks Mane to replace Gareth Bale on the right flank if Mbappé cannot reach it. The problem?
The PSG does not negotiate for its star and Liverpool will dissipate the sale of its end, Mané, to 180 million, a figure that Florentino Pérez refuses to cover.
And, meanwhile, an old name appears.
Florentino Pérez negotiated with Paulo Dybala a couple of summers ago and the Argentine's surroundings remind him that he would fit in the vacancy, that he is willing to trade Cristiano Ronaldo for Zidane and that, besides, his price is a bargain compared to the rest.
The 'Juve' would not ask for more than 80 million for a Dybala in free fall since the arrival of CR7 and that has ceased to be untouchable and the great star in Turin.
A Pérez, who does not dislike the operation, they 'put' the boy's desire to play in the Real after Messi closed the doors of Barca when Neymar left. 
Dybala was the chosen one of the club to replace 'Ney', but Leo denied the operation adducing incompatibility. Something that Dybala neither forgives nor forgives.


Coutinho as a claim. The Brazilian of Barça is in the spotlight at the Camp Nou where he has already priced.
The one who puts 100 million for 'Couti' will take it wrapped as a gift.
Manchester United is not willing to reach these figures by a player who is already a problem in the club but would release 80 between fixed and variable with a single intention: to attract Neymar United.
The Old Trafford club wants to take advantage of Real Madrid's doubts with 'Ney' to assault the operation and dress the Brazilian from 'red devil'. For them, he is even willing to play for Premier Coutinho, his great friend in Brazil.
A Brazil that these days takes out chest for which it was its star. Some words that go better than good to a Barça that needs the player to recover his cache to do a good business in summer.
"Coutinho is reserved, very humble and a person that everyone wants to have near," explains Leiva, a Brazilian from Lazio. "When people do not know him, he may think that his reserved nature is because he is sad. I was with him a little while ago and I saw him very happy. I do not see him sad. People talk because they are not close to him, it's normal, "he says.
"A player with his career has to have a competitive nature, if not, I would not have gotten there," reiterates Leiva, to finish: "It has the quality and intensity needed to play extreme and in the middle of the field, you can adapt according to the game, I have no doubt that Barça's wardrobe wants him, it is impossible not to love Coutinho. "


All agreed. In Barcelona, there is a player who counts his games by small farewells that will live their end at the end of this course.
Iván Rakitic has not been renewed, nor will it be, to be able to load with the new record of De Jong, star signing, and his transfer.
Rakitic, who has not had the pressure in his favor that exercised Messi to retain Jordi Alba, renewed with a stratospheric record, has a home, school, and agreement in Paris and with PSG in the absence of the agreement between clubs.
The Croatian will change to Neymar for Messi this summer in the absence of closing the future of Coutinho, which could star in another of the fugues sounded next year.
A Rakitic who is silent about his future and who took off his hat before the Betis fans despite being ex Sevilla and Sevilla.
"Everyone knows me and they know that I am very Sevilla, but I respect the béticos and their fans very much, with that great detail that I had. 'Chapeau', I congratulate the fans for this great gesture It is always special to play here, a very special ", said the Croatian at the end of Betis-Barça.
"Playing such a game, so intense, we always enjoy it, although sometimes we have to suffer, we did well and it's nice to go to the national team in this way," said Iván.
We prepared it well, that's why the talk, we analyzed the things we did wrong in that game, there were many, I think this time we deserved to win and with that result and if Leo can always do it like today, much better," he reiterated.
"Something is something, it's a very typical play by Leo and if he finishes it that way, much better, at least I go out in the goal photo ...", concluded Rakitic.


Not only in the teams that lose there are problems in the dressing room, only that the victories manage to placate the bad environment momentarily, thus allowing a greater room for maneuver to resolve conflicts. In Barcelona everything has changed for the better in very few games, because in the real defining moments of the season, the team put on their overalls and worked the games intelligently, without renouncing their philosophy, but understanding what the appropriate moments to go out to look for the goals and when the party asked to fall back and maintain the block.

With Real Madrid they passed the test with good grades and not only eliminated them from the Copa del Rey and left them very far from the race for LaLiga , they also provoked a psychological blow in the maximum rival of which they could not overcome for their return match of the Champions League, favoring their elimination in a crossing that seemed to be on track.

Despite all the positive outlook, within the Catalan squad, there is still a footballer who has not raised his head for a while and Barça is already thinking about taking it off. Philippe Coutinho could return to Liverpool for 100 million, 40 less than what they paid for him.
 Had another offer from PSG, but the bad relationship between the two clubs makes negotiations difficult, apart from this, within the Parisian squad there is a player who has made bad publicity to his own club. Neymar is tired of the lack of competitiveness of Ligue 1 and how bad they are in champions, so he plans to leave Paris, which is why he has told Coutinho to leave that institution as the last possible option if I do not want to regret it later.


As we move towards the latter stages of the season, forwards from each of the top European leagues are trying everything they can to propel their teams forward, bagging as many goals as possible. That naturally makes them strong contenders in the race for the European Golden Shoe.

Last season's runner-ups, Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane, are nowhere near the top three candidates in the 2018-19 season. But Lionel Messi has carried forward his form and is leading the race to defend the top-scorers' crown amongst the top European leagues.

Messi won the 2017-18 Golden Shoe as he ended his LaLiga season with an unbelievable tally of 34 goals in just 36 appearances for FC Barcelona. With 25 goals registered to his name this season, the Argentine forward is currently leading the race this season as well.

The 31-year-old currently owns one more Golden Shoe than his fierce rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

Closely chasing the five-time Golden Shoe winner, Kylian Mbappe has scored an exceptional 22 Ligue 1 goals so far. Since the start of the season, the Frenchman has been carrying PSG's attack and has bagged more goals than Neymar Jr and Edinson Cavani.

The 19-year-old has taken the football world by storm and is fighting with two of the footballing greats, Ronaldo and Messi, for the Golden Shoe this season. Mbappe made history as he scored four goals in just 13 minutes against Lyon in early October.

Ronaldo, who moved to Juventus after spending nine seasons with Spanish giants Real Madrid, currently ranks third in the Golden Shoe race. Following a steady start to his maiden Serie A season, the 34-year-old has lit up the Italian league with his typical stellar form.

With 19 goals registered to his name so far, the Portuguese forward is the leading top-scorer in Serie A.

Ronaldo's departure to Turin might have ended his rivalry with Messi on the club level. However, the two forwards have shown no signs of slowing down, even after the Ballon d'Or 2018 snub. And now, leading the goalscoring charts in their respective leagues, both are in contention for the European Golden Shoe.
On the other hand, Manchester City's Sergio Aguero and AC Milan's Krzysztof Piatek are rapidly inching closer towards the top three candidates.

While Ronaldo's departure from LaLiga has left Messi to gain sheer dominance over the goalscoring chart, his former club Real Madrid have failed to replace him with a top-notch goalscorer and have struggled since the start of the season. As Real Madrid continue their horrendous season in Ronaldo's absence, they face FC Barcelona in their next game at the Santiago de Bernabeu.

While Ronaldo won't be there to save the day for the hosts, Messi would look to extend his goalscoring tally against their bitter rivals and try to hold a firm grip over the Golden Shoe.

Luis Suarez has been a great servant to Barcelona.
Signed in 2014 from Liverpool for £64.98 million, Suarez has played a key role as Barcelona have won three La Liga titles.
In his five seasons at the club, he has made 231 appearances and hit the back of the net 168 times.
However, at 32 years old, Suarez has recently shown signs that his age is catching up with him.
The Uruguayan international's goal tally has declined this season, 'only' scoring 16 times in 31 appearances.
While that is a decent return, it isn't quite good enough.
Barcelona fans have become extremely concerned with Suarez's form in recent weeks, with some even deeming him as 'finished'.
His failure to score away at Lyon earlier this week means he hasn't scored away in the Champions League for 16 games.
Indeed, amid his struggles, it is believed that Barcelona will sign a replacement for Suarez in the summer.
Fans were given an option of 20 players, and here's how they voted...
Top 12:
Kylian Mbappe - 48%
Harry Kane - 14%
Luka Jovic - 7%
Maxi Gomez - 4%
Neymar - 4%
Mauro Icardi - 3%
Roberto Firmino - 3%
Timo Werner - 2%
Krzysztof Piątek - 2%
Andre Silva - 2%
Nicolas Pépé - 2%
Antoine Griezmann - 2%
Barcelona fans want Mbappe to replace Suarez, but there are doubts whether he would want to join
So it seems Barcelona fans want the club to sign Mbappe more than any other striker.
He will not come cheap, though, and there are doubts whether he would even want to move to Barca at this stage in his career.
The second most popular choice was Kane but, again, he has only recently extended his contract at Tottenham and is unlikely to move in the summer.
Luka Jovic, though, is a much more realistic target.
Luka Jovic has impressed for Frankfurt and would be a realistic signing for Barcelona
The Benfica player, who is currently on loan at Frankfurt, has scored 20 times in 30 appearances for the Bundesliga club.
At just 21 years old, he has his best years well ahead of him and could represent good value for money if they were able to seal a deal for him.


Cristiano Ronaldo decided to leave Real Madrid last summer because he wasn't happy that the club were willing to spend big on Neymar, that's according to one former president of the club.
Last summer wasn't the first time that Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to leave Real Madrid. In fact the most recent time had only been in 2016 when he claimed he'd never play for the club again after he didn't feel they'd backed him on his tax evasion case.
He would of course end up playing for them for another two years and won two more Champions Leagues in the process.
However after winning the second of those titles, and third in a row with the Spanish side, was followed by the five time Ballon d'Or winner questioning if he'd stay past the summer and so it proved.
After nine years at the Bernabeu, in which he was linked with a return to Manchester United at everyone, he left for Juventus for around £90 million.
Now former Real president Ramon Calderon has revealed that the former United winger wasn't happy for two reasons, money and Neymar. Speaking to Radio Villa, Calderon said:

Cristiano asked for a raise after winning the Champions League and Florentino denied it.
"Cristiano also got angry because he heard that Madrid would be willing to pay a lot of money for Neymar.
"Florentino told him that if he brought in a cheque for €100m he would let him go and that's how it was."
It was Calderon who signed Ronaldo, and not Florentino Perez, and the former president explained that the current man wasn't very thankful to his predecessor, saying, "Florentino did not accept that Cristiano was a signing of mine. I don't deny that he has been a great president, but he does not accept well the inheritances that he receives.
"The same thing happened to him with [Iker] Casillas, Raul, [Arjen] Robben and [Wesley] Sneijder."
Ronaldo doesn't look like adding to his five Champions League titles after Juventus lost 2-0 in midweek against Atletico Madrid in the last 16.
He will get a league title in a third country having won them in England and Spain.
Will Neymar join Real?

Neymar’s father reiterated on Sunday that there has been no attempt to contact Barcelona over a possible return to Spain for the world’s most expensive player.
Neymar joined Paris Saint-Germain for a world record fee of 222 million euros ($251 million) in August 2017 but has repeatedly been linked with a move back to Barcelona.
“Barca are a huge club, we were very happy over there,” Neymar Sr told TF1 on Sunday. “It’s impossible to leave a player like him out of these (transfer market) rumours. But it’s a lie, there hasn’t been a call with Barca.”
“There are two people who speak for Neymar: himself and me. Neither of us has spoken about this intention to return to Barcelona,” he added.
“These rumours amuse us a lot. These journalists are funny. The future is in Paris, the present is in Paris.”
Neymar Sr took to social media last month to brand a report in Spain which claimed he had begged Barca to re-sign his son from PSG as “fake news”.
The Brazilian forward is currently on the sidelines after he was ruled out for 10 weeks with a metatarsal injury suffered in a French Cup win over Strasbourg on January 23.
PSG hope the 27-year-old, who suffered a fracture to the same right foot at the end of February last year, will be back in time for a potential Champions League quarter-final.
The French club holds a 2-0 lead over Manchester United ahead of the return leg at the Parc des Princes in their last-16 tie.
Neymar Sr also called on referees in France to offer his son more protection.
“It’s not the French league that is the problem, it’s the referees who must protect the players,” he said.
“If fouls aren’t whistled if unsporting behaviour goes unpunished… that’s the problem.”

According to Le Parisien, Paris Saint Germain star Adrien Rabiot will be the latest French player to join Barcelona albeit in the summer.  According to the outlet, a verbal deal has been agreed between both sides covering salary and bonus terms. The player has been marginalised by PSG for refusing to extend his current deal which expires on June 30 (2019). As the PSG first team squad train together, Rabiot trains alone counting down the days to the expiry of his deal.

Despite the centre of the Barcelona midfield already featuring talented individuals such as Busquets, Rakitic, De Jong and Arthur, the French player is prepared to strive for a starting place with Le Parisien adding that they anticipate Rakitic to make a Camp Nou exit during the summer months.  On December 30 (2018), Barça issued a statement acknowledging that talks had taken place between the player and club but refuted that any pre-arrangement had been concluded. In the subsequent time-frame Barcelona have filtered a number of messages implying that the Rabiot move was off but the latest revelations from Le Parisien suggest that the move is very much an ongoing concern.

Meanwhile, The future of Ivan Rakitic at Barcelona remains up in the air for the moment. However, neither the player nor the club are in a hurry over penning a contract renewal and will not address the issue until the end of the current campaign. The midfielder knows that the club will not renew his contract in the middle of the current season. Although the president promised an improvement on his current terms when Paris Saint-Germain came calling last summer, when he does renew, it does not appear that there will be an increase.

The team’s overall salary outlay doesn’t allow for an increase for the Croatian as he renewed in March 2017 for four years and the club consider that it is not the right time. His future will not be decided until June, although the midfielder is fully aware that if he was to enter the market then he would not be short of offers. Meanwhile, Rakitic is fitting in perfectly at Barcelona and playing as well as ever before his future is analysed.

The fact that Valverde has renewed for another year with the club is good news as the coach has always bet heavily on the player and was key to him remaining last summer. The importance that the coach places in the Croatian means he rarely misses a game and for his part, Rakitic continues to trust the president’s word. His agent Arturo Canales said a few days ago in Italy that it is impossible to see him leaving in the summer. We will have to wait and see.
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has ruled out a return to the Nou Camp for Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar. Neymar left the Nou Camp for £200m to join PSG in 2017, but has often been linked with a return to Catalonia. But Bartomeu, speaking to Spanish radio station Radio Kanal Barcelona, said: “I’ve spoken with Neymar, we’ve seen each other a few times, but his people have never told me he wants to come back.

“No one’s called us about it. Neymar has a contract with PSG. It’s his second season there and it’s very difficult (to imagine) they want to sell. We didn’t want to. “We have the disadvantage of the (release) clause here. European clubs (can) take advantage of that. That’s not the case (in France) so it’s not possible for him to return.

“The club’s taken another path, with (Ousmane) Dembele, (Philippe) Coutinho. We have to move on with them. They’re the two biggest investments in the club’s history and we back them 100 per cent.” That statement appears to have opened the door for Manchester United to make a move for the attacker this summer.

The Red Devils were strongly linked with a move for Neymar at the beginning of the week, and would make a real statement if they managed to land the brilliant Brazilian.


Neymar may not have been on the pitch for Paris Saint-Germain’s win over Manchester United in the Champions League – but the Brazilian was keeping a close eye on his side’s progress at Old Trafford. The world’s most expensive footballer is recovering from a fractured metatarsal and will not be fit in time for the return leg on March 6. Neymar is currently having treatment in Paris and he was following Tuesday night’s game from his home. Presnel Kimpembe put PSG ahead in the 53rd minute and Neymar, whose loyalty has been questioned following reports claiming that he wants to return to Barcelona, went wild with his celebration. Kylian Mbappe then doubled PSG’s lead seven minutes later and a jubilant Neymar copied the French striker’s trademark celebration.




 PSG will also be without Edinson Cavani for the return leg against United in Paris but Mbappe believes his teammates proved a point without two of their key players. ‘We need to stop with the scare stories. People need to stop being afraid,’ said the striker. ‘We showed that tonight. We’re good.



Barca can soon lose another piece , and heading to PSG, which already snatched Neymar almost two years ago. And it is not Rakitic, who can also do the same, if not Philippe Coutinho.
'Ney' has demanded that the board of Paris Saint-Germain sign up his intimate friend , who is going through a bad time in Barcelona. Relegated to the substitution, his departure is no utopia.


And is that 'Cou' has not been able to meet the huge expectations generated by his signing a year ago , in exchange for 160 million euros. The Brazilian, one of the stars of the Premier League, expected a level 'top' and have found a player as shy as fallon.
Despite the fact that the first six months were quite acceptable, with the inconvenience of not being able to play the Champions League, Coutinho fell apart at the beginning of this year.
The former Liverpool was more to less and, above all, after the injury of Messi, at which point he was asked a step forward. And he did it backwards. Since then, he is immersed in a rut that he seems unable to leave.

Even Dembélé, criticized by many and placed on the exit ramp, has eaten Philippe's toast. The Classic will be the great judge of the future of 'canarinho' , which against Sevilla and Valencia showed small flashes that invite hope.
But if it disappoints again, there will be no other solution: Coutinho will be placed on the market . And the PSG would be willing to welcome him, as long as the club azulgrana lowers their demands - he wants to recover the investment of 160 kilos they did for him.
The future of Mbappé
On the other hand, the arrival of the '7' culé to the Parc des Princes could mean the escape of Kylian Mbappé.

Lionel Messi has asked one of his Barcelona teammates to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus during the summer, after interest from the Italian champions.

Barcelona have some humongous salaries which get paid every week with the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Philippe Coutinho, SergioIt has been speculated that Ivan Rakitic has an offer from Paris Saint-Germain, and if Barcelona look in to cash in on the Croat, he will straightaway head to the Parc de Princes. That said, Barcelona might even allow Jasper Cillessen to leave. Honestly, he is too good to be a second choice goalie and he might probably walk into the first team of other European clubs.
Apparently, Juventus are keen on bringing the Dutch shot stopper to their roster as they believe that he could be the rightful replacement to Gianluigi Buffon, their veteran goalkeeper who is now at Paris Saint-Germain spending the twilight of his career. Lionel Messi knows this, and even the Barcelona captain has recommended that Cillessen goes, of course for his own good.
The Italian giants are willing to pay up to 40 million euros for the services of the former Ajax Amsterdam goalkeeper. For now, Jasper Cillessen has been ruled out for six weeks and will be missing both of Barcelona’s El Clasico semi-finals in the Copa del Rey over the month of February. So just in case Barcelona’s bitter rivals knock them out, Cillessen could have made his last appearance for the club.
Jasper Cillessen has done a lot for Barcelona, and since 2016/17, he has won a lot for the club, especially playing an integral role in their Copa del Rey triumphs by featuring in nearly every cup fixture. Despite being a top class keeper, he never created a fuss in the dressing room and for sure, he will succeed at Juventus.Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi all getting paid a bomb amongst others. Players like Gerard Pique and Ivan Rakitic do not earn meagerly either, and Jordi Alba is expected to be joining that list soon, maximum till the end of this season.
Barcelona have also signed Frenkie de Jong in January and though the player arrives in summer, the club will have to ensure sound finances as well as some room in the squad to accommodate the Netherlands international. As a result, they are looking to undertake a drive to get rid of the dead or old weights in their squad during the summer.
It has been speculated that Ivan Rakitic has an offer from Paris Saint-Germain, and if Barcelona look in to cash in on the Croat, he will straightaway head to the Parc de Princes. That said, Barcelona might even allow Jasper Cillessen to leave. Honestly, he is too good to be a second choice goalie and he might probably walk into the first team of other European clubs.

The future of Jordi Alba, finally, seems to be in Barça. After months of intense negotiations, the Catalan club has managed to close the agreement to renew its contract.
The Catalan side was tied until 2020, so this summer would be the last to take advantage of its sale. His departure seemed sung, with PSG, Manchester City, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Juventus lurking.


Alba received offers to the down on behalf of the culé directive, which had caused great anger and was more than clear that his future was far from the Camp Nou. But Messi has intervened.
The Argentine, close friend of Jordi, has insisted on putting all the firewood in the fire in order to ensure the continuity of one of its best partners. In addition, he has had long conversations with L'Hospitalet to convince him that nowhere will he be better than in Barcelona.
