Allardyce: Real or Barca could sign Kane
14:45: Sam Allardyce thinks Harry Kane could be sold to Barcelona, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
Tottenham chiefs are adamant their star striker, who has netted 15 goals in 13 games for club and country this season, is going nowhere.
But despite Spurs’ hardline stance, Allardyce believes a move could be on the cards in the next few years.
He told Paddy Power: “Harry Kane is clearly happy at Tottenham, at the moment. I think he’ll be looking at staying for the next two to three seasons but, after that, who knows? Maybe it’ll be time to move on.
“He could easily attract interest from the big guns – Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich.
“Those three clubs are the only three that would tempt Harry to leave Tottenham, especially if he wins something there.
“I don’t think Spurs would ever want to sell Harry Kane to a Premier League club. But they sold Gareth Bale in the end – as much as they want to hold on to him, money does talk.”
Hazard contract update
14:00: Eden Hazard’s potential move to Real Madrid could hinge on whether he signs a contract extension at Chelsea.
Hazard, 26, has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid after playing a crucial part in Chelsea’s Premier League title triumph last season.
He has continued to produce eye-catching performances after returning from injury this term as the Blues currently sit fourth in the league table.
The attacker looks set to be rewarded with a bumper new contract and is locked in talks with Chelsea over fresh terms.
But Belgium journalist Kristof Terruer reckons there is a lot at stake for Hazard as it is now or never for him to seal a move to Real Madrid.
“For him, this summer (2018) will be a now-or-never as he becomes 27,” he told the Transfer Window Podcast.
“If they come for him it’s choosing between Chelsea and Real for the rest of his career. We’ll see what happens if he signs that contract in the coming weeks or months.”
Griezmann thinks United are coming
13:00: Atletico Madrid hitman Antoine Griezmann thinks Manchester United still plan to sign him at the end of the season.
The France forward nearly signed this summer, only for Atletico's transfer ban to scupper a move.
And Don Balon report Griezmann thinks United may try and get him again.
However, the Red Devils are not the only European heavyweight plotting a summer bid.
Griezmann is also said to be tickling the fancy of both Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Ronaldo wants De Gea, Courtois or Ter Stegen...
12:00: Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly wants the La Liga giants to sign David De Gea, Thibaut Courtois or Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.
Real Madrid have endured a rocky start to the new season, winning the Spanish and European Super Cups but struggling when it comes to the league.
Zinedine Zidane’s side claimed a first league title since 2012 last season but, seven games in, sit seven points behind fierce rivals Barcelona at the summit.
Their inconsistencies has led to speculation they could be about to embark on a spending spree at the end of the campaign, with goalkeeper Keylor Navas likely to be replaced with a bigger name.
And Spanish outlet Diario Gol say Cristiano Ronaldo wants a world-class goalkeeper to arrive - and has three big players in mind.
It is said that among them are Premier League stoppers De Gea and Courtois.
Diario Gol say Ronaldo would also love the La Liga giants to sign Ter Stegen.
United free to sign Bale
11:55: Manchester United are free to sign Gareth Bale next summer with reports claiming Real Madrid are happy to let the Wales international depart.
Bale nearly joined Manchester United four years ago, only for the 28-year-old to move to Spain with Real Madrid instead.
The Wales international has won the Champions League three times since leaving Tottenham, starring under Carlo Ancelotti, Rafa Benitez and Zinedine Zidane.
However, his Real career has taken a turn for the worse in recent months, with the Bernabeu crowd booing and jeering him.
And Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo says that Premier League teams are now free to sign Gareth Bale with Real happy to do business for the wing wizard.
That news will surely prick the ears of Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.
The 54-year-old was determined to make Bale his marquee signing of the summer, knowing the rise of Marco Asensio could see him struggle for game time.
The Wales international eventually opted to stay put but Mundo Deportivo claim his Real career is now winding down.
Courtois and Hazard contract worry
11:50: Chelsea are reportedly growing concerned about the future of first-team duo Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard.
Spanish newspaper Marca via Calciomercato claim the pair could force through moves to Real Madrid.
Courtois, whose contract expires in June 2019, is said to have put talks of an extension on hold and is thinking about a La Liga return.
Meanwhile Belgian journalist Kristof Terreur discussed the prospect of Hazard joining Zinedine Zidane’s side.
“He’s very happy in London, in Cobham. He doesn’t like the limelight."
“His kids speak better English than him so that’s important to him, to his family life. That will play an important role too if he ever moves to Real Madrid”, Terreur said.
