Chelsea an option for Bale

Bale’s future at Madrid appears uncertain as he is no longer a guaranteed starter under Zinedine Zidane and he has long been linked with a move to Manchester United.

However, Chelsea could also be tempted to make an approach for Bale, if Madrid follow up their interest in Blues duo Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard.

Paris Saint-Germain is also a potential destination for Bale, should Madrid bid for Neymar, but a move to China has been ruled out by the former Tottenham winger.

Gomes' brother holds key to future

Liverpool and AC Milan will have to negotiate with Andre Gomes’ brother if they want to sign the Barcelona midfielder, according to Mundo Deportivo

Reports have suggested that both Liverpool and Milan are interested in signing Gomes, who has struggled to make a sustained impact at Camp Nou since his €35 million move from Valencia in 2016.

The Portugal international has previously been linked with Manchester United and Juventus, and any clubs looking for a summer transfer will have to deal with his brother Joao.

One of those is Bayern Munich's versatile full-back Joshua Kimmich, while another Bundesliga player in David Alaba is apparently also at the top of Low's wanted list for Madrid.

Poch halts Spurs' hunt for new director

The Argentine is said to be eager to retain a big influence on the club's transfer activity, and with rumours abound that Europe's elite are ready to swoop for the manager, the London club's decision to bow to his wishes is sure to increase their chances of holding on to the 46-year-old.

Madrid to ditch Theo

Real Madrid are set to part ways with Theo Hernandez in the summer, Spanish outlet Don Balon claims.

The left-back has not lived up to expectations at the Santiago Bernabeu, with too many mistakes in his game leading the club to feel he is not at the required level to be an understudy to Marcelo.

Kroos wants time to decide on future

Toni Kroos has asked Real Madrid for 30 days to decide what he wants to do after the World Cup, reports  Diario Gol 

The midfielder has a contract through 2022 with the Spanish giants, but with Manchester United interested in bringing in the German and the season at Madrid not going well, he is considering leaving this summer.
