Gareth Bale offered
Manchester United and Tottenham have refused to sign Gareth Bale.
The 30-year-old is expected to leave the Bernabeu six years after arriving in Tottenham for a then-world contract (£ 85 million).
Zidane confirmed that Bale was out of Real to face Bayern Munich in the FIFA World Cup in Houston on Saturday because "the club is working on his departure".
The Spanish AS newspaper claims that Bale has been offered to United, Spurs, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, all snubbed at the Welsh international.

Paulo Dybala latest
Manchester United and PSG have shown interest in Paulo Dybala.
According to the Italian newspaper Tuttosport, this European pair reportedly contacted Juventus about the Argentine striker.
Juventus is not actively trying to sell Dybala, 25, but could be tempted by an offer of around £ 90 million.
With the possible start of Neymar and Romelu Lukaku this summer, Dybala could be the ideal substitute for both, who could respectively join Barcelona and Inter Milan.

According to the Times, the Red Devils could fund the transfer by selling Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan.
Arsenal, Everton and Liverpool have all been badociated with the 24-year-old Ivorian international.
But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team would have jumped at the top of the list of English clubs trying to sign Pepe.

Toby Alderweireld clarification
Tottenham should keep Toby Alderweireld for the 2019/2020 campaign.
The Belgian international has been tipped to leave North London this summer with many clubs, including Manchester United, interested.
But Mauricio Pochettino was named captain in the pre-season showdown against Juventus. Alderweireld said he was "focused on the Spurs".
"In football, everything can go fast, but I'm focusing on the Spurs and being ready for the start of the season," said Alderweireld.
"The manager knows that I am committed to the team and the club. Today, I have been named captain, which shows the confidence of the manager in me. "

Gareth Bale a viable option
Manchester United is a "viable option" for Gareth Bale, but he needs to lower his salary requirements if he wants to return to the Premier League, Tony Cascarino said.
Basel looks set to leave Real Madrid after explosive comments from coach Zinedine Zidane this weekend.
"I think he should come back on those shores because there are clubs playing an exciting football," Cascarino said on talkSPORT.
"He has to say that he wants to be part of something else, because in Madrid, he has just been banned from the team. I see Manchester United as a really viable option for Gareth. But again, he has to check the corresponding boxes.

Three years after returning to Old Trafford with what was a record £ 89 million global deal, the 26-year-old publicly admitted that he was open to "a new challenge elsewhere."
"We all know Paul, he's a fantastic midfielder and a very good guy, very positive, who influences everyone well," said Mata. "I think he's happy, he's bringing everyone together.
"But I can not speak for others, I can not speak for myself, for my present and my future in the club.
"And obviously as a teammate, and as a friend too, I'd like

CaughtOffside, who says Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all keep an eye on the multi-role midfielder.

Ivan Perisic at Manchester United
Inter Milan plans to make a more player-money bid to sign Romelu Lukaku.
Just two years after joining the giants of Old Trafford, the 26-year-old is eager to embark on new pastures, while the Serie A team is eager to take him to San Siro.
United received an offer of £ 54 million from Inter two days ago. This offer was rejected from the outset because it is well below their evaluation.
Now Antonio Conte's team could return with an exchange.
The Calciomercato website says that Inter is considering the possibility of sending Ivan Perisic more than cash to Manchester United in exchange for Lukaku.
