The French newspaper say sources close to the player told them he is unsure about his future. Premier League sides including Man United, and Serie A giants Juventus are interested.

However this news could just be part of a bid to get an improvement to his contract which expires in 2022. He signed a deal in 2017.

In eight season he has won two La Ligas, four Champions Leagues, two Spanish Super Cups, one Copa del Rey, three European Super Cups and four Club World Cups.
