"I'm happy here at Betis. And if at any time you have to talk, I'll talk, no problem. We have joked about the situation and that's it. Without giving it much importance. I have always felt very loved. I am very happy here and I appreciate that affection because I am happy here," he stated.

Real Madrid are considering bringing back La Fabrica product Fran Garcia from Rayo Vallecano, according to Marca.

The player has a release clause of €10m in his contract but Madrid  still owns 50% of Garcia’s rights which means that they can get the player for just €5m.

They are also keeping tabs on Girona's Miguel Gutierrez, who is another player from their academy. However, he will be more costly to Madrid than Garcia.

Manchester Evening News says Manchester United are ready to look at Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as an alternative to Cody Gakpo after Liverpool stole the latter out from under their nose.

The Red Devils will of course be waiting to pounce if Liverpool's Gakpo agreement hits any snags, but it appears the Old Trafford club will miss out on a top target.
