Sky also claim that Carlo Ancelotti has requested Fabian Ruiz from Real Betis and are prepared to pay the €32m release clause.

The 22-year-old midfielder is considered one of the brightest talents emerging from Spain.

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Areola remains one of the hot favourites to replace Pepe Reina.

That’s because today UEFA confirmed they won’t take action against PSG for Financial Fair Play violations, so the club can announce Gigi Buffon’s arrival at any moment.
