Chelsea’s pursuit of Como defender Jacobo Ramón has reportedly recieved a notable boost, as Real Madrid are apparently unsure whether to trigger a clause in the 21-year-old talent’s contract to re-sign him next season.

The end of the season may be a busy month for Fulham boss Marco Silva. One report in England suggests that he’s already set to replace Vitor Pereira at Nottingham Forest, irrespective of whether they get relegated or not. While another report suggests that the manager could be in the running for the Chelsea job, if the Stamford Bridge side can’t convince Xabi Alonso to make the move to London.
