Even though we are in the middle of an international break with Euro 2016 qualifiers taking place, there is still plenty of news around this morning surrounding Real Madrid.
And we start today with Marca claiming David de Gea is close to ousting Iker Casillas as the Spain number one – and also attracting the attention of Los Blancos to be the long-term successor to the World Cup winner.
Casillas has been under fire for some time now with plenty of critics calling for him to be replaced. De Gea, a former Atletico de Madrid player, has been playing well for Manchester United this season and could be tempted back to La Liga should Real make an offer, the paper says.
Elsewhere, Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes has been speaking about his client’s future in the wake of interest from the Red Devils. And he poured cold water on any suggestion Ronaldo will move back to Old Trafford any time soon, saying the 29-year-old is happy in Madrid, and wants to retire at the club.
Finally, Real legend Raul has visited his new club, New York Cosmos, to get to know his new surroundings and team mates. The forward will link up with his team in the new year ahead of the start of the new campaign.
