Real Madrid in last-minute transfer push against PSG

La Liga giants Real Madrid have repositioned themselves in the race for River Plate sensation Franco Mastantuono. That's according to transfer insider Santi Aouna, amongst others, who point towards Real as having reemerged as a leading player in the Mastantuono sweepstakes. Advertisement The name of River Plate's teenage sensation has dominated the headlines across Europe over the course of recent days. This comes after widespread confirmation was forthcoming that Paris Saint-Germain had kicked into gear a concerted push to land Mastantuono in the summer. Some outlets, in fact, went as far as to point towards a deal between the parties as being all but imminent. Just as it appeared as though the newly-crowned Champions League winners had been afforded a free run at one of South American football's standout talents, however, a fresh twist in the tale has been touted. As per the aforementioned Santi Aouna: Advertisement 'For the moment, PSG remain the favourites in the Franco Mastantuono case. But in the last few hours, Real Madrid have made inquiries to find out whether the deal with PSG is already closed or not. The next few days will be important.' Conor Laird – GSFN

La Liga midfielder admits admiration for Xabi Alonso amid Real Madrid links

With Real Madrid scouring the market for a new midfielder, one of the most prominent names linked with the club has been Real Sociedad ace Martin Zubimendi. However, it has been suggested that the Basque star, who has a €60 million release clause, is headed for Arsenal, who have been working to sign him for months now. Advertisement Despite the reports, nothing seems to be fully finalised at the moment and at a recent media appearance, Zubimendi opened up on his future as well as the links to Real Madrid. Zubimendi idolises Xabi Alonso It must be remembered that Real Madrid's new manager Xabi Alonso worked with Zubimendi for a season when he was in charge of the Real Sociedad B team at the start of his coaching career. As such, Alonso's appointment at the Santiago Bernabeu has only fuelled speculations of a move for Zubimendi. And the midfielder was asked if he had received a call from his former coach to join him at Real Madrid. Zubimendi has been linked with Real Madrid. (Photo by) In response, the Spanish international said: 'I've always said that he was my idol and that it was lucky for me that he was able to train me in the reserve team in a very important year. The following season I joined the first team.' Advertisement Continuing, he added: 'Well, I don't like to talk about these hypotheses, I prefer to talk about the present, because I also think it would be disrespectful to answer from the national team training camp and before facing such an important competition.' Regarding his future, Zubimendi refused to confirm the move to Arsenal, even suggesting that he might end up staying at Real Sociedad. 'Of course there are options, but it's true that it looks like it's going to be a different, long summer and I don't know how it's going to end,' said the midfielder. 'I don't think it's my priority right now to think about it, I'm here in the national team, which I already think is quite demanding, and if I have to say something, then I'll say it.'
