True story: Madrid to circulate through Filho?
Real Madrid are interested in Tottenham Hotspur big name Son Heung-Min, according to Sport1.
The 30-year-old South Korean foreigner is looking to take the next step in his career, regardless of whether he signs a four-year contract with Spurs in 2021, and he must accept his future as certain in the coming months.
Despite his recent poor form, which has seen Son fail to score in 11 of his 12 Premier League games this season, Carlo Ancelotti is keeping a close eye on him, and the La Liga champions may make a move if he decides he wants to end the prime years of his career competing in the Champions League.
Son joined the north London club from Bayer Leverkusen for £22 million in 2015, and he is looking to make 96 appearances in 244 league games.

PAPER GOSSIP
– Barcelona are already preparing future contract negotiations with Ousmane Dembele, reports Fabrizio Romano. The 25-year-old winger has been excellent since signing a new contract with the club in the summer, contributing eight goals in eleven La Liga games, as well as a goal and three assists in the 4-0 win over Athletic Bilbao on Sunday. His current contract guarantees him a stay at Camp Nou, except for the summer season of 2024.
– Arsenal are excited about a move for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, comments Calciomercato. The Gunners have reportedly moved the 27-year-old midfielder up on their target list, and they are inclined to present a player swap deal that would send Albert Sambi Lokonga in the other direction as part of a notion that includes an offer of around €50 million. Milinkovic-Savic has made 11 appearances for Lazio this season, contributing 10 goals – form that has also seen him linked with Juventus.
Midfielder Gerson is reportedly looking for a way out of Marseille, according to L'Equipe. His representatives are understood to be evaluating possible options that could allow him to leave the Ligue 1 side when the January transfer window opens. The 25-year-old is currently unhappy with his situation after losing his starting position.
– Sergio Ramos may well receive a new 12-month contract that includes the option of a further 12 months, writes Ekrem Konur. The 36-year-old defender has kept a much better injury list this season, having starred for Paris Saint-Germain in 15 games in all competitions, and it seems that this has been enough to convince the Parc des Princes hierarchy to keep him as a member.
Mexican international Edson Alvarez has been touted as a possible successor to Sergio Busquets at Barcelona, in response to the game. The Blaugrana are reportedly eyeing the 25-year-old Ajax Amsterdam midfielder as Xavi Hernandez continues his search for reinforcements within the January transfer window. The Eredivisie club has so far rejected an offer of around €50 million for his services from Chelsea, but there is hope that they are inclined to part ways with him on the ice.
