Chelsea are ready to speak to Zinedine Zidane to see if he has an interest in taking over at Stamford Bridge, The Sun reports.

 

The French icon called time on his tenure at Real Madrid on Thursday, shocking the football world after having won a third consecutive Champions League title just five days earlier.

 

Should Zidane decide that he wants a break from management, however, the report claims that the Blues could make a move for Laurent Blanc instead.

 

Arsenal are prepared to offer Bayern Munich £60 million (€68m/$79m) for midfielder Corentin Tolisso, Calcio Insider claims.

 

Unai Emery is eager to strengthen Arsenal’s central spine and is said to see the Frenchman as an ideal addition as the Gunners look to return to the Champions League.

 

Bayern, it is said, have no intention of parting with the France midfielder, whom they signed for a club record fee of €41.5m in 2017.

 

Real Madrid will spare no expense in their bid to lure Mauricio Pochettino away from Tottenham, according to the Independent .

 

The Champions League winners were rocked on Thursday by news that Zinedine Zidane was stepping down from his job after less than three years. 

 

But attentions have already turned to Pochettino, despite the fact that the Argentine signed a new five-year deal with Spurs just a week ago.
