Pedro ‘has everything’ to succeed in Prem

“He is a good friend, and if he decides that England is the next step in his career, I am sure he will do very well there”, Torres told The Mirror.

Indeed, according to Spanish daily Marca, Ramos will sign a new contract at the Bernabeu on Monday, while Madrid are seemingly prepared to wait for De Gea until next summer.

Barcelona striker Pedro has expressed his anger over technical secretary Robert Fernandez’s remark that the 28-year-old wants to leave the Spanish champions, saying the issue is not regarding money but about minutes on the pitch.

Pedro Rodriguez’s future at Barcelona is now even more uncertain with Manchester City said to be preparing a bid for the forward. “He is a player that is loved by everyone”, responded Luis Enrique, when asked if Pedro was unhappy by his treatment at the club.

Bulgarian Stoichkov – most famous for scoring 118 goals in 254 appearances for Barcelona and winning the Ballon d’Or in 1994 – played under the Dutchman at the Nou Camp. The latest story comes from Valencia-based TV station SillasGol, which claims to have seen legal documents suggesting a deal is close. Van Gaal’s men could also be helped by Everton holding an interest in United center-back Johnny Evans. They narrowly beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 on the opening day of the English Premier League season, thanks to an own goal by Kyle Walker.

Rafael has opened up about his exit from Manchester United, claiming manager Louis van Gaal did not like him.

“I did the complete season, when he [Ferguson] left”, he added. It was my best season in Manchester, and we won the championship. That change was fatal for me.

United have already reached an agreement with Barcelona over a transfer fee and now it’s up to the Spain global whether he indeed wants to move to Old Trafford.

And it appears that Van Gaal has been convinced, with reports in Belgium stating that midfielder Biglia could join imminently after agreeing personal terms with the club.

Gaitan’s agent has apparently flown to England to finalise the transfer.
