Rumour Mill: Real Madrid eye massive move for Paulo Dybala

Real Madrid are plotting a massive move to fill their Ronaldo-shaped void and could poach one of his new teammates in order to do so.

That and more in another edition of Rumour Mill!

REAL LINING UP DYBALA
If rumours are to be believed, Real also have their eye on another big name attacker. According to The Sun, Juventus star Paulo Dybala is being lined up for a mammoth summer move.

Dybala is the subject of a £90m (A$163m) bid set to be launched at the end of the season as they attempt to lure the 25-year-old Argentine to the Spanish capital.

The forward has netted 54 goals in 115 league appearances since arriving in Turin in 2015, and could become the man to finally replace the void left behind by now teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real are keen to rebuild their squad, with a new flurry of big names set to join the long list of stars to have called the Bernabeu home.

COUTINHO GOING NOWHERE
Highly reputed Spanish journalist Guillem Balague believes rumours linking Philippe Coutinho to a Barcelona exit have been manufactured by his agent.

Coutinho has been linked with a move to Manchester United, PSG and Chelsea in recent times, but it appears those whispers are off the mark.

Speaking on the Guillem Balague Transfer Show, the journalist said: “There are stories that come out in the English press, not the Spanish press, saying Manchester United one day and Chelsea the next.

“It would be easy to guess where those stories come from. Perhaps from the same people that actually went to Barcelona and said ‘what’s happening here?’

“Those are the representatives of Coutinho trying to put pressure to Barcelona. Barcelona have got no intention to get rid of Coutinho.

“We will see if this lack of impact continues down the line but right now Coutinho’s important to Barcelona, very important. Because they feel that he adds quality even though they realise that he’s not the midfielder that they thought they were getting.

“Do not believe right now the stories that put him out of Barcelona.”

SARRI EYES REUNION
Chelsea are reportedly showing interest in a move for Napoli right back Elseid Hysaj.

Boss Maurizio Sarri is keen to reunite with the £45m-rated (A$81m) full back, according to the Mirror, and could be set to splash out lure him to London.

The report suggests than the arrival of Hysaj could jeopardise the position of skipper Cesar Azpilicueta.

The Blues are thought to be more keen on a loan move for the Albanian, but the Serie A outfit would rather part with him permanently.

HAZARD EXIT AGREED?
Its no secret that Spanish giants Real Madrid are interested in signing Chelsea superstar Eden Hazard – but could an agreement already be in place?

That’s the reported inside scoop from El Chiringuito’s Eduardo Inda.

Inda reports the Belgian has a pre-agreement with Los Blancos to join the club in the summer, with the Blues set to reap up to €100m (A$159m) if they sanction the sale. The report suggests Real will hand Hazard a deal worth €13m (A$20m) per season, with an extra €1m (A$1.59m) if Real were to win La Liga, and a further €1.5m (A$2.39m) for a potential European triumph.

The contract would run for five seasons, with the Spanish outfit set to open their bidding at €75m (A$119m) with cap set at €100m (A$159m).

Stamford Bridge better brace itself.
