Some of the latest transfer speculation involving the area’s clubs…
The English transfer window has closed and Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has ruled out the club selling the likes of Eden Hazard and Willian this month.
Nevertheless, the Sunday Express continue to link Hazard, who was tipped to join Real Madrid this summer, with a move to the Spanish club.
Claiming an exclusive, the newspaper declare that Real are preparing £200m bid for the Blues star.
The transfer window in other parts of Europe remains open until the end of the month, meaning that in theory Hazard could still be sold to Real.
However, Chelsea would not be able to sign a replacement and Sarri insisted on Friday that it would be “impossible” for Hazard to leave this month.
Meanwhile, Chelsea failed with a pre-deadline bid to land Atletico Madrid keeper Jan Oblak despite being willing to meet his £90m release clause, according to The Times.
The Sun report Angel Rangel’s imminent move to QPR.
West London Sport revealed on Friday that Rangers were set to bring in the 35-year-old right-back, who is a free agent after leaving Swansea.
The Sun also say Swansea winger Wayne Routledge, 33, is keen to return to QPR on loan.
