<\/a>Real Madrid plot move for Man City star Rodri<\/p>\n

Real Madrid are looking into a move for Spain midfielder Rodri, reports Marca.<\/a><\/p>\n

But a deal for the 29-year-old won\u2019t happen this month.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because Madrid will wait until this summer, when Rodri will have just one year left on his contract at the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Real Madrid to challenge Liverpool for Adam Wharton<\/p>\n

Crystal Palace\u2019s creative midfielder Adam Wharton is a prime target for plenty of Premier League clubs including Liverpool and Manchester United.<\/p>\n

He is valued at around \u00a360m but is unlikely to move away from Palace in January despite the growing interest in his skills.<\/p>\n

Some of that interest comes from abroad with AS claiming that Wharton has been offered to Real Madrid who would then challenge Liverpool – seen as the English club in pole position – for his signature.<\/p>\n

This is all speculation as, in another report, AS say that Madrid will not be making any moves in the January window meaning the path is clear should some of the Premier League big hitters want to make their move before the month is out.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old could emerge as a target this month, but only if Dutch winger Noa Lang can find a move away from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Chelsea could bring back Argentine defender from Dortmund loan<\/p>\n

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has confirmed Chelsea could bring back Aaron Anselmino from his loan. <\/p>\n

He states: “We’re planning with him for the second half of the season. But of course, in the end, it’s a matter of contract design. Chelsea also has certain ideas from the situation we were in back then.”<\/p>\n

“I think it makes sense for all parties involved for Aaron to also play for Borussia Dortmund in the second half of the season, to help us, himself, and ultimately Chelsea as well.”<\/p>\n

The Argentine has impressed for BVB and could boost the Blues at the back at centre-back or left-back.<\/p>\n

<\/a>McFarlane on Chelsea characters<\/p>\n

Temporary boss Calum McFarlane paid tribute to the Chelsea players after they shrugged off a week of turmoil to snatch an unexpected draw at Manchester City<\/a>. <\/p>\n

McFarlane said: \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of change that\u2019s gone on. Enzo was incredibly successful with this group and some of them were shocked by the decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo the character that they\u2019ve shown in the last two days. Everyone thought we were coming here to lose. No-one thought we stood a chance.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we knew the character and the talent in this group and they\u2019ve really dragged it through. I can\u2019t speak highly enough about the characters in the group.\u201d<\/p>\n
