Wlly Hernangómez is returning to Real Madrid, the place that has been his home since he joined the Whites academy in 2008. After two years on loan to CB Sevilla, the center, aged 21, will become a part of the 2015-16 first squad. In an interview with Realmadrid TV and Realmadrid.com, the player from Madrid acknowledged that it was a "dream come true" to return to the club.

It has not taken Rafa Benítez long to realise just how important Luka Modric is. There was no need for him to look back on how Ancelotti fared last season, with the notable drop off in the team's performances when he was unavailable. All that was required were a couple of training sessions in Melbourne.

Benítez is making Modric his man. He will be the playmaker in charge of setting the pace, aided by Kroos, whether the team are playing in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 formation. Regardless of how they line up, the Croat will be at the centre of things.

The manager has paid close attention to Modric and spoken to him on several occasions, in both Spanish and English. He will be his right-hand man out on the pitch and, in this regard, communication is key.
The really good news is the Croat's recovery, which has taken longer than he expected. He has looked in excellent shape in the first few training sessions.

Perez hataki kutumia hela kufanya usajili, hakuna mabadiliko ya kutia moyo kabisa. Tumezoea big names, lakini sasa hivi Real Madrid inafanya usajili kama Getafe. Hata Fenerbahce wametumia hela msimu huu. Huu ubaili ndio uliofanya asainiwe Chicharito saa tano usiku.

Sky Sports | If Madrid wants De Gea this season, then they have to include Ramos in the deal.

Casemiro joined up with the Real Madrid squad in Melbourne. The Whites midfielder arrived at the Park Hyatt Hotel, where the team is staying in the Australian city, shortly before 11pm (local time) and was welcomed by Rafa Benítez and his technical staff.

United offered De Gea €290,000/week salary -which would make him the highest paid goalkeeper in history- but he refused the offer. [the sun]
