Rumour Has It: Real have verbal agreement to sign Haaland

Real Madrid reportedly have a verbal agreement for Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland to join the club next year.

The Spanish club lead the way amid widespread interest in the Norwegian forward, including from Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester City.

Additionally, Real's decision to respect Dortmund's stance to not sell the 21-year-old during the previous window has helped any potential deal.

Leicester are planning to make a move to sign Sassuolo and Italy winger Domenico Berardi in January, report CalcioMercato. 

Berardi, who has attracted interest from AC Milan and Fiorentina previously, could be available for approximately £30million.

Dortmund will not sell Jude Bellingham amid reported interest from Liverpool as they plan to offer the 18-year-old England international a new contract, claim 90min. 

Bellingham's current deal runs until 2025.

Milan midfielder Franck Kessie is on Chelsea's radar as they plan for Jorginho's potential departure, according to the Daily Express. 

Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in Kessie, who will be a free agent at the end of the season.

Chelsea will revive their interest in Sevilla's Jules Kounde in January but the Blues still only want to offer approximately £42m, according to ESPN. 

Tottenham are planning to hand 34-year-old French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris a new two-year deal, with his current contract due to expire in June 2022.
