Real Madrid have contacted the agents of Newcastle United star Mouusa Sissoko after it was reported that he had agreed personal terms with Inter Milan. Frank de Boer is keen to take him to Italy where he should do very well. At Real Madrid he would be challenging players like Modric for a slot so undoubtedly would simply be a squad player, rather than a first choice. The Inter option will see him playing each week and makes more sense.

Rafa Benitez has phoned 22-year-old (23 next June) Utrecht  striker Sebastien Haller to explain his vision and inform the player he intends to make a bid imminently. Haller is said to be open to a move to Newcastle, previously having not wanted a move to the Championship.

Sevilla have submitted a £6.05-million (€7m - AUS$10.4m - US$7.9m) offer for 28-year-old (29 next June) Polish winger Kamil Grosicki. New manager Jorge Sampaoli wants to strengthen his team and Grosicki is one of the names he has given sporting director Monchi.

Lazio, Roma, West Ham and Schalke 04 are said to be interested in signing the Rennes man with reports suggesting he favours a move to the Premier League. The report from Poland , which quotes L'Equipe makes no mention of West Ham.
