News of the day in Spain
Real Madrid | Tottenham launches last-minute assault for Gareth Bale. We are 5 days away from the close of the winter market, so the rumors are flying and in this case we have that from England they are already talking about a possible departure of the player. Because Tottenham seems willing to go all out to get him back, since Jose Mourinho believes he can be important in his plans. This signing requires a big investment, more for his salary than for the transfer that can be finalized. The Daily Express explains that a final offensive is being prepared and the winks from the London club on social media this week would be the proof.
FC Barcelona | Agreement in principle with AS Roma for Carles Perez. According to the information handled by Mundo Deportivo, FC Barcelona would have reached an agreement with AS Roma for Carles Perez to head to the Italian capital. The deal will be sealed for €15M, all through a loan with a mandatory purchase option, although it is true that the culé parish will have in mind what happened a couple of years ago with Inter Milan for Rafinha Alcántara. The mentioned media ensures that the operation is pending official confirmation by the culé academy player himself, who must give his approval in this regard. Likewise, Sky Sports suggests that the current champion of our League, who has just given in at Mestalla with Valencia, could exercise a buyback option on the winger (valued at €25M).
PSG lowers demands for Edinson Cavani. Edinson Cavani is the great desire of the club to bolster the attack, given the need for a striker that Diego Simeone's team has. And the strategy of wearing down seems to be working, at least according to L'Équipe newspaper this Sunday. This media asserts that PSG has decided to significantly lower its demands, so the agreement could now be closed for €15M instead of the €20 demanded by the attacker. The fact that his contract ends in June would undoubtedly have been decisive for this change of events. In fact, as we revealed on Fichajes.com, the striker has just undergone a medical examination with Atlético Madrid, who suffered a worsened depression a few minutes ago with the draw against Leganés. Undoubtedly, this will be the news that will bring the most joy to the Atlético fans over the weekend.
