Real Madrid are refusing to confirm whether Solari will continue as manager. The European champions recovered from back from back-to-back Clasico defeats to Barcelona and Champions League elimination at the hands of Ajax by beating 16th-placed Real Valladolid 4-1 on Sunday night. The Real hierarchy are continuing to analyse Solari's situation, amid rumours of a Bernabeu return for either Jose Mourinho or Zinedine Zidane. (Marca)
Ajax's in-demand 19-year-old centre-back Matthijs de Ligt will wait to see whether Barcelona make a move for him before deciding his future. Barca have already sealed a deal to sign Ajax's Frenkie de Jong in the summer, and the club are interested in De Ligt too, with the player preferring a switch to the Camp Nou over other options.
