Hello and welcome to the Real Madrid transfer news and rumours of the day! Here are the top stories of the day surrounding the Galacticos!
Evra thinks Pogba will leave
Paul Pogba has been linked with a move to Real Madrid ever since Zinedine Zidane took over the reins at the Santiago Bernabeu. The midfielder seems to be a favourite of the Frenchman and one former France player thinks that Pogba might leave Old Trafford.
According to former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra, some players that play for the Red Devils look like they don’t have any idea why they are plying their trade at the Theatre of Dreams.
“I don't want to blame all the players,” he said.
“Because I think that some players are here [at United] and they themselves don't even know why they are here.”
Evra then added that it's his belief that his compatriot will leave Old Trafford because he might not be feeling loved there at the moment. He also added that should Pogba stay on for a few years, fans might start to love him due to the dedication shown towards the Red Devils.
“I think [Pogba] will leave, because you need to feel the love when you play somewhere, you need to be committed.
“If Paul decides to stay another year and then leave, or stay another few years, maybe the fans will love him because he is committed.”
Finally, he stated that the negativity surrounding Pogba is something that is killing his career with the Red Devils, indicating that now might be the best time for him to leave the club.
“It's not like I am protecting Paul but when there are incidents like with the fan, they are killing Paul.”

Zidane on Bale
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has opened up about the situation surrounding Gareth Bale. The Frenchman stated that he is the one in charge of the daily activities of the club and, as a result, will have to make a decision regarding something that he believes doesn’t suit the club.
He also stated that while the Galacticos can’t forget the contributions of the Welshman over the last few years, it would be best for everyone to think about the present and the future before adding that he doesn’t know what will happen with Bale.
“I have to look at the day to day, and make decisions,” Zidane said.
“And when there is something I do not like, or does not fit for me, I must do what I think best.”
“It might be difficult for the player – we cannot forget all he has done here – but I must live in the present, think of the future. We will see [if Bale stays]. I don’t know what will happen, truthfully.”
Kroos extends contract; a bit of Isco
Toni Kroos might not have had the best of seasons with Real Madrid – in fact, he was one of the worst players for the Galacticos throughout the campaign – but the Blancos have tied him down to a new contract until 2023.
Zidane looks like he will continue to rely on the German in the next season even though the Merengues are looking at the possibility of signing Paul Pogba in the summer to strengthen their midfield.
Meanwhile, according to sensational reports from Spain, Isco Alarcon wants to leave Real Madrid and join – wait for it – Barcelona in order to play with Lionel Messi.
However, the Catalans are not interested in bringing the former Malaga star to Camp Nou and have rejected the request of the Real Madrid star.
Sad news for Isco.
Story of the day
Since the season is over for Real Madrid, the only thing to look forward to is the summer transfer window as a lot of new faces are expected to join the Galacticos. While Eden Hazard’s acquisition is almost certain, another player that has been linked to the Merengues is Luka Jovic.
The Frankfurt star had a breakthrough season with the German outfit and has courted the interest of many clubs, including Barcelona. The Catalans apparently see him as the perfect successor to the throne of Luis Suarez.
However, the player reportedly rejected the move because of Lionel Messi. Apparently, Jovic refused to be a backup to Luis Suarez, who is being heavily backed by Lionel Messi.
As a result, the Serbian striker opted for Real Madrid as he is guaranteed a chance to fight for a starting spot alongside Karim Benzema.
