He is one of two Real Madrid midfielders on the radar of clubs in the Premier League. Martín Zubimendi is also being linked with a potential switch to Liverpool.

David de Gea will have a medical after he agreed to join Fiorentina. The 33-year-old is signing a one-year contract until summer 2025. A clause can extend his deal by a year if certain conditions are met. De Gea has been without a club since leaving Manchester United in 2023. He may return to competitive football soon.
