Barcelona eye Ronaldo’s heir, Andre Silva

Andre Silva, the man Cristiano Ronaldo once hailed as his successor for Portugal, is on Barcelona’s transfer radar.

Arsenal suffer Odegaard setback

Real Madrid have shut the door on Martin Odegaard joining Arsenal on a permanent deal. The Spanish giants believe the midfielder can become a key figure in the upcoming years. They view his stay in London as temporary, nothing more.

Despite impressing, and being happy at Arsenal, Odegaard also still hopes to succeed at Real Madrid someday. [Marca – in Spanish]
