Chelsea face battle for Gvardiol
Despite signing Benoit Badiashile from Monaco, The Sun reports that Premier League side Chelsea are still eyeing RB Leipzig striker Josko Gvardiol. The 20-year-old has a £112 million release clause that runs into 2024, meaning the club are hoping for a big offer ahead of them to let him go, and Chelsea could face competition from fellow Londoners Tottenham.
Inside Europe: Badiashile is a bad diamond ahead of Chelsea – ‘It’s difficult for him’ On the same subject : Weekly Science Links » Explorersweb.
Paper Round’s view: It is almost impossible to imagine that Daniel Levy would be ready to spend more than 100 million dollars on any player in the world apart from Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. It’s not what Tottenham usually do, but with Guardiol’s ever-improving and young reputation, he could finally prove to be a player who can play for the team for 10 years.
Emery targets Moreno
Unai Emery hopes to sign 29-year-old left-back Alex Moreno from Real Betis, reports the Daily Mail. The arrival of the defender would put Lucas Digne’s place in the team in doubt, who only joined last year from Everton for 25 dollars. To see also : Direct and Level available on Amazon Prime Video. Emery is the new manager of Aston Villa and he also has his opinion on another player, although he wants a player who can work in the side.
Paper Round’s view: Villa continue to receive good financial support from their owners but are beginning to suffer from instability in management functions. Emery has done a good job at Arsenal but he will have to show that he can build a united team for the rest of the season in order to build a suitable foundation for the next Premier League season.
Real Madrid refuse Bellingham auction
Real Madrid will not enter an auction for the services of Borussia Dortmund player Jude Bellingham, according to Spanish newspaper Marca. The 19-year-old England international is expected to leave at the end of the season for a fee of around 110m euros, with an extension to Dortmund if various terms are met.

Paper Round’s opinion: Real Madrid in Florentino Perez’s first poor management led to financial problems that were well resolved by the time he returned for the second time away. This time around, despite the coronavirus, they kept their heads above water, were disciplined financially, and built a young team that continues to challenge for trophies, and Bellingham could be a part of that soon.
Portugal target Martinez
Robert Martinez has stepped down as manager of the Belgian national team but the 49-year-old could be offered a chance to stay in the region with Portugal, according to the Telegraph. The former Everton manager may have disappointed in Qatar but overall his time with Belgium has been good, and Portugal may need to get clubs knocking on his door sooner rather than later.
Paper Round’s view: Martinez impressed briefly at Everton and cemented his reputation with six years in Belgium. Although they may not have made much of their golden generation, those who won Euro 2020 and Russia three years ago were a good side. Martinez may be able to handle another talented Portugal side well.
