Could Barcelona sign one of Real Madrid’s top prospects? Will Atlético Madrid make an impact by signing a key player from Premier League club Fulham?
Here are the most recent transfer rumors from LaLiga’s big two.
Barcelona could take Paul Iago from Real Madrid.
Paul Iago, a 16-year-old at an elite LaLiga team, has been compared to Lamine Yamal as somebody poised to make a significant impression. However, he is unsure if he has the same path to playing time at Real Madrid as Yamal and Pau Cubarsà do at Barcelona.
That has long been a source of contention among Madridistas, particularly since the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti, who has allowed a number of outstanding academy standouts such as Sergio Arribas and Miguel Gutierrez to go unnoticed in the first squad. Those two, on the other hand, played important roles under Zinedine Zidane.
According to Diario Sport, Iago is now wondering his future with Real Madrid and may ask superagent Jorge Mendes to find him a new team. According to the Barcelona-based newspaper, a move to the Blaugrana is possible. It would be quite a statement for Barcelona to take a valued academy gem away from Los Blancos.
Atlético Madrid is interested in Fulham’s Andreas Pereira.
Atlético Madrid, the other dominant team in LaLiga, may be set to make their own moves this summer, adding good senior pieces to boost a squad that has admittedly slipped behind this season despite being headed by a superstar in Antoine Griezmann.
Los Rojiblancos are fourth in the league table, seven points behind Girona. Atlético has to make some adjustments, and they are apparently looking to the Premier League for assistance.
According to Sky Sports, Atlético Madrid is still interested in Fulham attacking midfielder Andreas Pereira, despite the fact that the Cottagers turned down their approach in January. Pereira, for his part, appears to have no intention of leaving England.
The 28-year-old Brazilian is a reliable playmaker and one of England’s best set piece specialists. Even if this isn’t his greatest season, Pereira has seven assists and an average of 2.4 critical passes per game. His ability to generate a large number of chances might be advantageous for Atlético Madrid, which thrives on playmakers like him.
Furthermore, despite being an attacking midfielder, Pereira can add a nasty edge to his game, and he has won over Fulham supporters by his willingness to put in a defensive shift.
