Pepe responds to departure speculation
Lille star Nicolas Pepe has responded to speculation linking him with a move away from France at the end of the season.
Pepe's side are set to miss out on the top spot in Ligue 1 but the forward has still impressed by bagging 20 goals and 11 assists in the league.
Arsenal and Liverpool have been credited with interest in the 23-year-old but he insists he is tabling talks around his future for at least another few weeks.
"We don’t talk about it, the season is not over yet," Pepe told CalcioMercato . “Once it is finished we will be able to talk about it, but now no.”
De Ligt discusses future
Matthijs de Ligt has opened up on his future ahead of the summer transfer window and it's good news for clubs around Europe.
The Ajax star has been linked with a move away from Holland for some time and the 19-year-old latest comments all-but confirm his imminent departure.
Barcelona are the heavy favourites to land his signature on the back of landing De Ligt's Ajax team-mate Frenkie de Jong for next season.
"I don't know yet. There have been conversations, but there is still no agreement," De Ligt said on his future .
It's believed those 'conversations' have been with the Spanish giants but the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Bayern Munich among others have been linked. It remains highly, however, that De Ligt joins Barcelona.
Real set to make Hazard statement
Real Madrid are on the verge of making an official announcement on the imminent capture of Eden Hazard from Chelsea, according to reports.
Hazard has been heavily linked with a departure from Old Trafford for some time but this summer appears to be the key window for any deal to actually happen.
If a report in L'Equipe is to be believed, this summer will be the one when Hazard does leave Stamford Bridge for a reported €100million (£86m).
L'Equipe state that Real will make a statement on Hazard after Chelsea's Europa League final clash with Arsenal on Wednesday, May 29.
Latest on Bale's future at Madrid
Real Madrid are not only looking to sign top talent this summer as they prepare to potentially offload Gareth Bale.
The former Tottenham Hotspur star has long been linked with a departure from Spain and recent comments from Real boss Zinedine Zidane suggest that could happen.
Zidane appeared to cast further doubt over Bale's future after the Welsh forward was left out of the side which lost 3-1 to Real Sociedad on Sunday.
“It’s clear what I’ve done this weekend,” Zidane stated when asked about Bale's absence . “We’ll see what I do next week and what happens next year. He’s fine physically.”
