Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is the main candidate to replace Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid, reports Diario AS.

Some board members of the Royal Club believe that the Italian specialist should be replaced by Madrid legend Raul Gonzalez. Xabi Alonso, who’s currently working at Bayer Leverkusen, also emerges in the list of potential candidates, although president Florentino Perez himself insists on Mauricio Pochettino.

The official has no doubts that the Argentine specialist is the best option given Real Madrid's style and philosophy on and off the pitch.

Sky Sports adds that Pochettino is going to ignore any offers from other top clubs as he will deliberately wait until the summer to see if he gets a call from Madrid.

Bayern monitor Kane, Kolo Muani, and Osimhen

Bayern won’t go crazy next transfer window as they decide not to make a lot of signings this summer. The club’s board has already informed their newly appointed head coach Thomas Tuchel that they are not going to make a complete upgrade of the squad, but still, the German coach can expect the board’s full support along with a few critical signings.

The first and foremost task for the Munich team is going to be signing a new striker since Bayern believe that Erik Choupo-Moting being their only option in front is just not enough.

With that said, Die Rotten are currently tracking Tottenham Hotspur leader and English top scorer Harry Kane, Eintracht prospect Randal Kolo Muani, and Napoli revelation Victor Osimhen, having in mind that any of these deals will depend on financial aspects.

Arsenal are confident of winning the race for West Ham midfielder Declan Rice, informs the Evening Standard.

The Gunners are convinced that the England international will end up choosing their side rather than Chelsea or Man Utd, not least because of Mikel Arteta’s influence.

The Spanish coach is a big fan of the West Ham captain and wants to develop his strongest qualities. Declan, for his part, highly appreciates Arteta's ability to work with young players.

We note that Declan’s contract with West Ham will expire in the summer of 2024. Transfermarkt values the 24-year-old at 80 million euros.
