Real Madrid lose another superstar to Juventus as Marcelo agrees four-year deal


Brazilian left-back set to be reunited with good friend Cristiano Ronaldo in Turin this summer

JUVENTUS appear to have poached yet another Real Madrid superstar after reportedly agreeing a four-year deal with Marcelo.

La Stampa claims the Brazilian will pocket a staggering £10million-a-season in Turin, making him one of the club’s top earners.

Juventus stunned world football when they completed a shock move for Cristiano Ronaldo last summer.

And it’s reckoned that Marcelo has been pining for a reunion with his good friend after 13 years at the Bernabeu.

He is said to have been in exit talks with Real chiefs for some time now.

And the situation has been exacerbated after Marcelo was reportedly dropped by Santiago Solari for being a stone overweight in January.

It’s reckoned the 30-year-old could fetch as much as £40million, with Juve likely to sell Manchester United target Alex Sandro as a result.

But whether Marcelo brings success to Juventus remains to be seen, with Ronaldo’s arrival yet to improve their fortunes in the Champions League.

Max Allegri is set for the chop after losing the first leg of his last-16 tie with Atletico Madrid 2-0.

Antonio Conte has been tipped for a stunning return to his former club, with Pep Guardiola also linked, but it’s believed that Zinedine Zidane is favourite to take charge after leaving Real last summer.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...
