Cristiano Ronaldo up for sale

05.15: Real Madrid have reportedly put Cristiano Ronaldo up for sale.

According to Diario Gol, Real are keen to get Ronaldo’s massive salary off their wage bill.

And that means president Florentino Perez has taken it upon himself to offer the 32-year-old to other elite clubs.

However, none of the clubs that have been contacted are willing to meet Real’s valuation.

Nor are they prepared to match the wages Ronaldo currently receives in the Spanish capital.

Arsenal and Man City chase Burnley ace

04.45: Arsenal and Man City are chasing Burnley defender James Tarkowski, according to reports.

The centre-back has been in incredible form this season as the east Lancashire outfit sit sixth in the table.

However, because Sean Dyche lost Michael Keane to Everton in the summer it is thought he is hoping to keep Tarkowski until at least the end of the season.

According to the Times, Arsenal and Man City are prepared to wait to get their man.

Chelsea looking to safeguard Courtois

04.15: Chelsea are reportedly set to make Thibaut Courtois the best paid goalkeeper in the world with their latest contract offer. 

Chelsea don’t want to take the chance of losing their shot-stopper and are prepared to offer him a lucrative new deal worth more than £200,000-a-week.

That’s according to The Telegraph, who claim the new contract could run to 2023.

Jack Butland had been touted as a possible replacement for Courtois, but Chelsea are said to have put all their attention on keeping their current No1.
