Real Madrid's sensational £48m double swoop deals blow to Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal
REAL MADRID are plotting a sensational double swoop for Paris Saint-Germain's Marco Verratti and Bayern Munich's Bastian Schweinsteiger, according to reports.
Spanish media claims that Carlo Ancelotti has specifically requested the duo as replacements for outgoing midfielders Asier Illarramendi and Sami Khedira.
It is claimed that Verratti will cost at least £33million, with Pep Guardiola said to have slapped a £15m price-tag on Schweinsteiger.
