Tuesday's Real Madrid transfer talk news roundup: Dominik Szoboszlai, Paul Pogba, Luka Modric

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Real Madrid on Tuesday, December 8.

The summer transfer window has now closed, with Real Madrid having failed to sign a single player in one of the quietest windows in their history.

The financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic prevented the Spanish champions from doing their usual business, but a busy summer of 2021 is already being predicted with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Eduardo Camavinga thought to be on their shortlist.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news of possible comings and goings at the Bernabeu.

Tuesday morning's Real Madrid transfer talk news roundup:


Arsenal 'have 16-day window to sign Dominik Szoboszlai in January'

Arsenal could reportedly land Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai for a figure of €25m (£22.8m) if they move quickly over the next couple of weeks.

The Gunners are thought to be at the head of the queue for the 20-year-old's signature, with Mikel Arteta's team in desperate need of creativity amid their recent goalscoring problems.

However, Arsenal are set to face an intense battle for Szoboszlai's services, with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Tottenham Hotspur and RB Leipzig also tipped to move for the Hungarian starlet in January.

According to The Athletic, if Szoboszlai informs Salzburg of his desire to leave by December 15, the Gunners then have 16 days to fork out his £22.8m release clause to sign him in January.

The report claims that any bids for the Hungary international must be made by New Year's Eve, and if Arsenal fail to trigger Szoboszlai's release clause ahead of the upcoming window, they will be forced to wait until the summer before it activates again.

Szoboszlai boasts eight goals and nine assists for Salzburg in all competitions this season, and he is under contract at the Austrian giants until 2022.



Mino Raiola: 'Paul Pogba's time at Manchester United is over'

Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has revealed that the Frenchman's time at Manchester United is drawing to a close.

The Frenchman has struggled to nail down a regular spot in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's starting lineup this term, with the likes of Fred, Scott McTominay and Bruno Fernandes all preferred to the World Cup-winning midfielder.

The 27-year-old started and scored a delightful goal in the Red Devils' 3-1 victory at West Ham United at the weekend, but Raiola has now claimed that Pogba is not happy in Manchester and will be looking to leave in January.

Speaking to Tuttosport, Raiola said: "I can say that it's over for Paul Pogba at Manchester United.

"Paul is unhappy. He is no longer able to express himself as he would like and as expected of him. He has to change teams; he has to change the air.

"He has a contract that will expire in a year and a half, but I think the best solution for the parties is to sell him in the next market."

Pogba has scored 34 goals and set up 35 more for the Red Devils since returning to the club, with Real Madrid and Juventus both tipped to swoop for the France international in the not-so-distant future.
