Spanish daily Marca has outlined the biggest transfer stories around La Liga’s leading clubs, with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid all shaping up for another busy window ahead of the new season.
Real Madrid move for Diomande
Marca says Leipzig defender Diomande is close to joining Real Madrid. The paper also claims the move is nearing completion and would make him the most expensive signing in the club’s history.
The report adds that Real are still working on other squad changes as the new campaign approaches, with the title race expected to hinge on how the top sides finish their business.
Vinícius and Barcelona’s next step
On Vinícius, Marca says a move to Arsenal looks unlikely. It reports that the winger left his latest meeting with Real Madrid officials on a positive note, and those around him believe he will extend his contract.
Barcelona’s main target, according to the same report, remains Julián Álvarez. Marca says the club are preparing their final offer to sign the Argentina forward as they look to strengthen their attack.
