Eternal enemiesReal Madrid and Barcelona are bracing for a summer slugfest. Manchester City midfielder Rodri could find himself at the centre of an El Clásico wooing contest. BILD say both teams want to bring the Spaniard back to La Liga.

Aston Villa want to sign Chelsea centre-back Trevoh Chalobah, Football Insider kindly inform us. However, any deal is dependent on Chelsea signing a senior centre-back in the summer to replace the, by Chelsea standards, 'veteran' 26-year-old.

Over atTEAMtalk, there's plenty of transfer talk regarding defenders. Arsenal like the look of Ivan Fresneda, but face competition from Manchester City and Newcastle for the Sporting speedster. Should the 21-year-old plump for North London, it could see Ben White wave goodbye. A clutch of clubs are monitoring White's situation closely, having been ousted by Jurrien Timber for the right-back role.

Meanwhile,Liverpool are hoping to capitalise on the uncertainty at Tottenham Hotspur with a bid for Luka Vuskovic. The Croatian centre-back has turned heads during an impressive loan at Hamburg. He's been earmarked as a potential long-term successor to Virgil van Dijk at Anfield.

Finally, Italian interest persists in another Spurs star.Juventus have joined Inter Milan in expressing interest in Guglielmo Vicario, say Gazzetta dello Sport. Having been hung out to dry by a shaky Spurs defence, the goalkeeper might just favour a return home.
