Alexis Sanchez is wanted by Real Madrid

NEWS NEWS BLOG SPORT brings you the latest transfer news.

 

Real Madrid are considering a stunning move for Arsenal stat Alexis Sanchez.

Spanish magazine Don Balon report Madrid will launch a £37.3m bid - and could also offer winger Denis Cheryshev as part of the deal.

Sanchez joined Arsenal from Madrid's rivals Barcelona in 2014 for £35million.

He was emphatic for Arsenal last term, scoring 16 Premier League goals, and has followed that up this year with an electric fortnight.

He started the season slowly after returning late from the Copa America but ha scored six goals in his last three games including a double against Man United.

Sanchez left Barcelona after falling behind Neymar, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi in the pecking order but the reports in Spain say Rafa Benitez wants him.

Madrid's trident of strikers includes Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, but Benitez believes the Chile star could add to that.

 

Chelsea are considering a triple raid on Atletico Madrid.

The Blues reportedly want three players from the Liga club in Diego Godin, Koke and Antoine Griezmann - and are even considering replacing Jose Mourinho with Diego Simeone.

Chelsea's title defence is almost over already after just eight games. They've lost four times and sit 16th.

 

Victor Valdes is set to leave United in January.

The former Barcelona goalkeeper has been told to find a new club after falling out with Louis van Gaal.

And his agent said: "I'm sure [he will leave the club in January], I'm ready for it. It's clear he has to leave and we'll try to make sure he's happy and feels comfortable.

"In my personal opinion he won't come to Spain, unless he says something different. He had the chance to join Valencia but having played for Barcelona it is complicated."
