Real Madrid are moving quickly to ensure they get their key summer transfer targets and have finally given up on signing Manchester United's David De Gea.

So who is now their number one goalkeeping target for Zinedine Zidane? Here are the top Real Madrid transfer news on March 27, 2018.

Bale tempted by Chinese Super League move

Gareth Bale was highly impressed by the love of Chinese fans towards the game of football and claimed that he is indeed tempted by the possibility of playing in the Chinese Super League in later parts of his career, reports Daily Mail.

Bale scored a hat-trick for Wales in a 6-0 win over China as Ryan Giggs kick-started his reign as the Welsh boss with a win in the China Cup. Bale's future has been a major concern for Real Madrid and with summer transfer window approaching, Bale is looking to keep his options open and is willing to explore the possibility of playing in the Chinese Super League.

Bale said: "It's a great country with great people,' the 28-year-old said after the win. 'In terms of the future I'm not too sure, I haven't really looked that far, to be honest.

"Whenever I come to China we always have such an amazing reception from the Chinese fans. They've been very welcoming to all of us, not just me.

"They look after us really well. But I'm sure that if I ever did come I'll be looked after very well."

Despite advocating a move to China, Bale is heavily linked with a move back to Premier League with Tottenham and Manchester United ready to spark a £70m bidding war for the Welsh wizard.

Real Madrid want Alisson

SSC Napoli v AS Roma - Serie A
Real Madrid's new number 1?

Real Madrid have switched their goalkeeping target to AS Roma's stopper Alisson after Manchester United have held firm to their stance of not selling David De Gea, reports Marca.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is eager to bring a quality goalkeeper to Santiago Bernabeu next season to replace the inconsistent Keylor Navas.

David De Gea and Thibaut Courtois were previously linked with a move to Real Madrid, however, their astronomical transfer fee and extravagant wages have put off the Los Blancos, who are now ready to explore a cheaper option in the summer.

According to Marca, AS Roma have accepted that Alisson will indeed quit Stadio Olimpico in the summer and are demanding beyond £50m in order to sell the Brazilian stopper.

Real Madrid are now favorites to sign Alisson in the summer as they have finally switched their goalkeeping target from Manchester United's number 1 David De Gea.
