Monday, June 4
Alisson fears
Real Madrid reportedly fear Liverpool or Chelsea signing Alisson after Roma rejected their opening offer.
Don Balon say Los Blancos bid £43million for the Brazil international.
But Roma want more and Real now fear their Premier League rivals outspending them.
Liverpool want Alisson to replace Loris Karius, while Chelsea are interested amid uncertainty over Thibaut Courtois’ future.
Real Madrid boost
08:00: Real Madrid may end their interest in Thibaut Courtois if Alisson gets his way.
Courtois will not sign a new contract at Chelsea, with Real expected to make an offer for the goalkeeper this summer.
But in a surprise twist over the weekend, it appears as though Roma shot-stopper Alisson could jump ahead of Courtois in the Real pecking order.
Spanish newspaper Marca claim Alisson, 25, wants a move to the Bernabeu over a switch to Liverpool.
And that would leave Courtois wit the likelihood to sticking at Chelsea next season.

Agent meeting
07:30: Chelsea have met the agent of Bordeaux winger Malcom, with a £44m transfer on the cards.
That is according to French newspaper Sud-Ouest.
They claim the 21-year-old’s agent Fernando Garcia has been in touch with bosses at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea appear to be plugging away with their transfer plans despite uncertainty over manager Antonio Conte’s future.
Malcom was wanted by a host of Premier League clubs last summer but ended up remaining in Ligue 1.
Man Utd still want Willian
07:10: Manchester United are still interested in signing Chelsea star Willian despite the impending arrival of Fred.
Brazilian Willian has been on United’s radar since January, when it emerged the player will likely exit west London before the start of next season.
United manager Jose Mourinho is an admirer of the 29-year-old.
And Express Sport understands the Red Devils will continue to pursue options on a deal with Chelsea, even when Fred’s arrival from Shakhtar Donetsk is wrapped up.
