Mateo Moreto gives Football España exclusive information on the latest deals dominating the newspapers in Spain, as revealed in Fabrizio Romano’s daily briefing.

There’s nothing in it at the moment. With Nacho, this will most likely be his last season at Real Madrid, as his mind is already focused on other opportunities for next season, rather than deciding whether to leave, and he wants to leave Europe.

The option he prefers most is Major League Soccer, and his agent is working on that. Then there is the Saudi League that is also interested, but it is the American League that attracts him more.

With Inter, they are still working on a plan of action at the back. There are many players to like, as we said, Alessandro Bongiorno is one of them. But they are not taking any firm steps while they figure out the economic side of things.

It is true that Joan Laporta is angry with Xavi because of what he said in the press conference, and his anger is enormous. At the time of writing, Xavi has not received any news from anyone, nor is he aware of their desire to sack him. We may know more in the coming hours.

Laporta still has to talk to Deco as well, and we know that Xavi has a contract until 2025. So that’s an issue to solve as well. Given the economic situation in Barcelona, ​​his dismissal will not be easy. They will have to find a solution in the coming hours, but Laporta is really angry, however, he did not say anything to Xavi about it.

As for Rafael Marquez, I can only say that he has always been held in high esteem by the Sports Committee and is a name that everyone at the club loves. We have to wait and see what happens, but I have no confirmation of any actual movement, as they have to sort things out with Xavi first.

Al-Nassr and Aymeric Laporte have to reach an agreement so that he can leave the club in the summer, but it is true that he wants to return to Europe, he wants to return to Spain – that is his priority. There are other clubs in Spain and Italy asking about him.

For him, Athletic would be an important offer to consider, and Athletic are clearly interested, but his agent will first try to find a way to leave Saudi Arabia. Then he will have to reach an economic agreement with Athletic. I know there are other Spanish clubs interested in Laporte as well.

With Miguel Gutierrez, Real Madrid are considering him as an option (they have an €8m buyback clause), but they have not made a firm decision on what to do at left-back. They have to work out the Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia situation, and also see what happens with Alphonso Davies, and whether such a deal is possible.

There are a lot of teams interested in Miguel, I know Girona want to keep him for next season, he will be a starter in the Champions League and can continue his development at Girona. So the situation is a bit complicated, with Girona, Real Madrid and other teams also interested. Bayern Munich was following him, Arsenal was following him, and they are still monitoring his situation. But don’t rule out other teams coming for him as well.
