Nottingham Forest and West Ham demand mega-money for their midfield gems, while Real Madrid plan a record-breaking recruit. Here are Friday's football transfer rumours.

Things are heating up at Real Madrid ahead of this weekend's presidential election. Enrique Riquelme has had to backtrack on bold claims thatErling Haaland and Rodri were Real bound should he win, amid the threat of legal action from Manchester City, while current president and frontrunner Florentino Perez has made some significant claims of his own.

Perez has told the world that the Spaniards will submit a €150m club record bid for a player on Tuesday. The cryptic clues sawHarry Kane, or Michael Olise, or a Premier League player. He's young, and dubbed a 'Galactico' of the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo or Kaka.

But who?Vitinha? Khvicha Kvaratskhelia? Jamal Musiala? All will be revealed soon.

Sticking with the mega-bucks theme. Nottingham Forest havewhacked a price tag in excess of £100m on Elliot Anderson, after snubbing Manchester City's opening bid. Forest are not the only team demanding deep pockets this summer, with West Ham wanting £80m for Manchester United-linked Mateus Fernandes.

Over atArsenal, Eli Kroupi Junior is a player the Gunners are keen on. The Bournemouth whizkid has attracted interest from Europe's elite after a record-breaking season on the south coast, with Arsenal among them. However, The Independent inform us that Paris Saint-Germain are ready to rival that interest. After a painful Champions League loss to PSG, Arsenal might end up second-best to the Parisians again.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are determined to beat PSG to Yan Diomande. The ever-reliable David Ornstein has told us the the Reds have made initial contact with RB Leipzig in a bid to win the race. However, Leipzig do not want to sell, and Diomande this week publicly expressed interest in playing in Paris...

Finally,Juventus have rekindled their interest in Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta.
