The Argentina star has struggled to find his place in the Juventus side following the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo and is considering his options.

David Moyes says Everton were one signing away from challenging from the Premier League. The former Toffees manager says he needed a goalscorer to challenge for a title, but never quite got there during his tenure. "I was here for 11 and a half years, and I think by the time we finished, we had a great team. I think our style was as good as anyone," Moyes told <a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11671/11499700/david-moyes-says-his-everton-side-were-close-to-premier-league-title-shot">Sky Sports</a>. "We were probably a centre-forward away from being contenders for the Premier League. We had Mikel Arteta, Steven Pienaar, Leighton Baines, Seamus Coleman, Sylvain Distin, Phil Jagielka, you could go on with the players we had. It was a terrific team."

If Zinedine Zidane was to be hired as Manchester United manager, the former Real Madrid boss would want to sign Eden Hazard and N'Golo Kante, according to <a href="https://www.donbalon.com/noticia/detalle/100342/zidane-prepara-vuelta-banquillos-dos-fichajes-no-le-dejo-hacer-florentino-perez">Don Balon.</a> The Frenchman wanted to sign the pair during his time in Madrid, but neither side was sanctioned by the club throughout Zidane's run.
