BALE WANTS PREMIER LEAGUE OVER PSG
Real Madrid star Gareth Bale would prefer a move to the Premier League rather than signing for PSG, according to the Daily Express.
The Welshman, who has reportedly attracted interest from Manchester United, is weighing up his options at the Bernabeu and his future could hinge on the club’s pursuit of Monaco ace Kylian Mbappe.
JAMES AGREES MAN UTD DEAL
Real Madrid playmaker James Rodriguez remains desperate to secure a move to Manchester United after agreeing personal terms with Jose Mourinho’s side, reports Diario Gol.
Rodriguez is determined to leave Madrid this summer, and AC Milan have been exploring the possibility of signing the Colombian on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent deal.
However, Rodriguez wants to join United, who are currently reluctant to meet Madrid president Florentino Perez’s €70 million (£61.6m) asking price.
MADRID TO SELL BALE
Real Madrid are ready to sell Gareth Bale to create space in their squad for Monaco’s teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe, according to Telefoot.
Madrid president Florentino Perez reportedly met with Mbappe’s family in Paris following the recent friendly between France and England to discuss his club’s interest in the striker.
Mbappe has yet to make a decision on his future, but in an effort to push through a deal, Madrid are willing to offload Wales international Bale this summer to free up room in Zinedine Zidane’s squad.
MONACO OFFER MBAPPE 900% PAY RISE
Monaco are willing to offer forward Kylian Mbappe a 900 per cent pay rise in a bid to keep him this summer, according to Le Journal du Dimance.
The France international has been linked with Real Madrid, Paris-Saint Germain and Arsenal, but Monaco do not want to sell.
And they are willing to increase the teenager’s wages from €18,000 per week to €162,000 to bring him in line with the club’s highest-earner, Radamel Falcao.
BARCA EYE KOVACIC
New Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde wants to launch an audacious move for Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic, according to Don Balon.
Valverde is a fan of the Croatia international, though the former Inter man is reluctant to leave the Santiago Bernabeu.
RONALDO NOT ON UTD WISH LIST
Cristiano Ronaldo is not among those on Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho’s wish list, claims the Daily Star.
The Portuguese made his top targets clear to Ed Woodward before the end of the season and Ronaldo has not been added despite opening the door to a summer move away from Real Madrid.

MADRID SNUB IBRAHIMOVIC
Real Madrid have turned down the option of taking Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a short-term deal, according to Don Balon.

ARSENAL STILL KEEN ON €135M MBAPPE
Arsene Wenger will oversee a flurry of outgoings at Arsenal this summer which will allow him to make a sensational move for Monaco forward Kylian Mbappe, says the Telegraph.
It was thought that the teenage striker had chosen Real Madrid as his next club having spoken with Zinedine Zidane, while Goal understands that Paris Saint-Germain have made an offer of around €135 million.
Arsenal, however, are refusing to give up the fight and are said to be willing to match the bid from Ligue 1 giants PSG.
ZIDANE SPEAKS TO MBAPPE
Zinedine Zidane has already spoken to Kylian Mbappe in an attempt to convince him to join Real Madrid, according to L’Equipe.
Goal understands Paris Saint-Germain have made an offer of over €135 million for the Monaco sensation, but Madrid remain in the battle to sign him and sent their coach and president Florentino Perez to lure him. The player’s fears over a lack of playing time at Madrid were addressed but nothing has been decided yet.
RONALDO HAS PSG BARGAINING CHIP
Cristiano Ronaldo will use a ‘money no object’ offer from Paris Saint-Germain as a bargaining chip in talks with Real Madrid, reports Marca.

DONNARUMMA & MBAPPE THIS SUMMER OR NEXT FOR MADRID
Gianluigi Donnarumma and Kylian Mbappe are both being tracked by Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, who is prepared to wait until next summer to move for the young stars, according to Marca.
The 18-year-old goalkeeper is out of contract with AC Milan in 2018 and can move under a Bosman deal if he does not renew at San Siro. However, Zidane could make a €30 million bid in the coming weeks to try to tempt the Italy star to the Spanish capital.
Meanwhile, Mbappe, also 18, has two years left to run on his Monaco deal, and should the Ligue 1 champions refuse to sell him this summer, Real are optimistic they will be able to get him next year.

MAN UTD TO FOCUS ON MORATA
Ronaldo’s reported u-turn on his future with Real Madrid has forced Manchester United to focus on signing Alvaro Morata from the Spanish side instead, according to The Sun.
Jose Mourinho’s side have an offer of £60 million ready for the Spanish striker and think they can land him before the start of their pre-season tour.
IBRAHIMOVIC KEEN ON REAL DEAL
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is keen on moving to Real Madrid following his release by Manchester United, according to Diario Gol.

RONALDO IN MADRID EXIT U-TURN
Cristiano Ronaldo is apparently having second thoughts over leaving Real Madrid having been left impressed with president Florentino Perez’s public statements over his future, AS reports.

REAL MADRID LINE UP ALEXIS SWOOP
Real Madrid are considering a summer move for Alexis Sanchez as a possible replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Don Balon.
Ronaldo has apparently told Madrid he wants to leave the club after the recent tax fraud allegations, with the Arsenal forward seen as a decent alternative.
MOURINHO DECIDES AGAINST RONALDO
Jose Mourinho has dismissed rumours linking Cristiano Ronaldo with a return to Manchester United this summer and is instead focused on completing a deal for his Real Madrid team-mate Alvaro Morata.
The United boss is keen to reunite with the Spain international, according to the Express, having handed the 24-year-old his Real debut back in 2010 while in charge of Los Blancos.
United will have to fork out around £65 million for Morata, though the fee is significantly short of the £175m which they would have to pay for Ronaldo.
MADRID PLOTTING KANTE BID
Real Madrid are considering a move for Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante, according to Spanish publication Don Balon.
