… According to Spanish rag Marca, anyway -Â but then Marca is the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, so it’s pretty much what you’d expect to hear.
But I have to say Marca sounds very confident that the deal is already done (for around €35m), and also that it will be announced in the next 24 hours. Still, I take anything Marca says with a large pinch of salt.
If Marca is right, this would be disappointing news for Man Utd and Arsenal, and yet another sign of the power shift from the Prem’s big four to La Liga’s big two.
