Vinicius has returned a negative COVID-19 test and will soon be able to re-join first-team training and matches. However, Real Madrid's Valdebebas training ground is still missing a number of famous faces the day before their Copa del Rey fixture against Alcoyano.

Antonio Rudiger’s wage demands means it’s unlikely he’s going to join Real Madrid

Real Madrid have made a €50m offer to sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain this January transfer window according to comments made by Italian football agent Giovanni Branchini.

Mbappe’s contract with PSG is set to expire at the end of the season, at which point it’s widely expected the Frenchman will make a long-heralded move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Madrid had two bids for him turned down at the tail end of last summer’s transfer window, and Branchini, in comments carried by La Gazzetta Dello Sport and Diario Sport, revealed that Florentino Perez is so keen to land his man he’s made another move.
