– The futures of five Real Madrid players are “up in the air” with David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Rodrygo, Dani Ceballos and Endrick as having doubts over their plans for next season, AS reports.

– João Félix’s proposed move from Chelsea to Al Nassr is now at the “final stages,” according to Fabrizio Romano. The transfer is set to be permanent, although it remains to be seen what the final fee will be. The two clubs are now finalizing terms, with Félix having approved the switch over the weekend. The 25-year-old had looked destined to rejoin his former club Benfica, whom he last played for in 2019. However, Al Nassr moved quickly to gazump the Portuguese giants, and add the forward to their roster of stars which includes Cristiano Ronaldo. Félix’s most recent senior appearances came for AC Milan during a loan spell last season, where he scored twice in 15 Serie A matches.

– Atlético Madrid are now pushing to sign Stuttgart star Enzo Millot, according to Sky Sports Deutschland.

By contrast, Galatasaray’s efforts to sign Millot are now said to be over, as a move was never advanced. The 23-year-old has represented France at Under-21 level six times.
