Villarreal agree personal terms with Chelsea star
La Liga outfit Villarreal have reached an agreement on the personal terms of a contract with a member of the defensive ranks at Premier League giants Chelsea. That's according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, who points towards Renato Veiga as the player in question. Defender Veiga is for his part expected to be on the move before the summer transfer window is out. This comes with the Portuguese, fresh off a solid loan stint with Juventus over the 2nd half of last season, not featuring in the plans of Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca. Held in high regard across the continent, a number of bids, in turn, are understood to have been tabled for Veiga of late. And as alluded to above, this week, one of the 22-year-old's many suitors have found an agreement with the player himself. As per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano: 'Villarreal have agreed personal terms with Renato Veiga! Talks are well underway with Chelsea. The Spanish club is negotiating to agree on terms also with Chelsea. Current proposal: €24m plus add-ons, trying to get closer to €30m package.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Newcastle's Joelinton has shown his support for a fan's social media post regarding the Alexander Isak situation.

Furious Newcastle fans confront Alexander Isak over Liverpool transfer stance
Alexander Isak faced the wrath of Newcastle supporters on Wednesday after he escalated matters in his frantic bid to secure a move to Liverpool. The Swedish forward broke his silence on Tuesday with a defiant statement that accused his current club of reneging on transfer pledges. Isak is refusing to turn out for the Magpies and remains isolated, working out separately, with 10 days left in the summer transfer window. Newcastle has turned down an offer from Liverpool and is hoping that Isak can be brought back into the fold, despite the dramatic deterioration of relations. However, while the club still holds out hope that Isak can remain and find the net for Eddie Howe's team, it's evident that certain supporters hold a contrasting view.

Several could be heard labelling him a "rat" and shouting "greedy b------" as he steered his car through the entrance. Following his inclusion in the PFA Team of the Season, Isak made his position crystal clear on Tuesday that he won't entertain representing Newcastle again. The 25-year-old feels he has been mistreated by the club. "I've kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken," he wrote. "That silence has allowed people to push their own version of events, even though they know it doesn't reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors. "The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading. "When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue. That's where things are for me right now - and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself." Newcastle then issued its own statement, which read: "We are disappointed to have been alerted to a social media post by Alexander Isak this evening. "We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer. "We want to keep our best players, but we also understand players have their own wishes and we listen to their views.

"We do not foresee those conditions being met. "This is a proud football club with proud traditions and we strive to retain our family feel. Alex remains part of our family and will be welcomed back when he is ready to rejoin his teammates."
