Atletico Madrid looking to land Inter midfielder

Taking advantage of their stay in Milan, Atletico Madrid directors held talks with their Inter counterparts regarding a move for Marcelo Brozovic.
The Nerazzurri look resigned to the fact that one or two big name players will have to be sold this summer, and it appears the Croatian could be on his way out.
Atletico are in Italy for their battle with Real Madrid in Saturday’s Champions League final, though it appears they also made time to discuss a potential transfer for Brozovic.
Miguel Angel Gil is said to have met with Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio on Friday, with the Croatian midfielder the main topic of discussion.
The news comes just a week after Brozovic’s agent made it clear that his client would happily stay at Inter, but only if his contract is improved.
''Marco is torn because he is happy in Milan and at Inter, but he wants to play in the Champions League,” Miroslav Bicanic told reporters.
''My opinion is that he would stay at Inter if they offered him the contract he deserves which shows he is one of the best players on the team.”
However, it appears the Nerazzurri aren’t keen on offering that contract, with Atletico Madrid now a possible destination for Brozovic this summer.

Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund Saturday 27 May, 19:00 Live on BT Sport ESPN Eintracht Frankfurt This time last season, Eintracht Frankfurt were  fighting for survival  in a Bundesliga playoff against second-tier side Nurnberg. Fast forward a year, and they are preparing for their first major cup final since 2006, having finished well clear of relegation trouble this term. Having steered the Eagles through that playoff against Nurnberg, coach  Niko Kovac  set about galvanising not just the squad, but the entire club. Working with sporting director Bruno Hubner and former Germany striker Fredi Bobic,  Kovac has injected new life into an organisation that was drifting. Youngsters like defender  Jesus Vallejo  and forward Ante Rebic have been brought in on loan to good effect, and astute pickups like holding midfielder Omar Mascarell and forward Branimir Hrgota have become effective cogs in the machine. Although Frankfurt have twice...

Tottenham’s Dele Alli eyes Premier League debut at Manchester United

It was quite the opening statement. Dele Alli, 24 minutes into his first start in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt, suckered in Luka Modric of Real Madrid, nutmegged him and accelerated away. The 70,000 sell-out crowd at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena roared at the 19-year-old’s sheer impudence. "We had a laugh about it in the tunnel afterwards; he was very good about it,” Alli said. "He shook my hand and said to me: ‘You little bugger’ – or something like that. I didn’t shout ‘nuts’ when I did it. I used to do that when I was young and get told off for it." As Alli spoke at the Allianz after Tuesday’s 2-0 Audi Cup victory, some of Real’s galácticos filed past. This time last year the midfielder was preparing for MK Dons’ League One season opener against Gillingham. His previous competitive game was for MK against Yeovil in May. Alli says “unreal” and “surreal” on a number of occasions and it is little wonder. This is a young player of conviction. If the nutmeg on one of...
