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!

Gareth Bale advised to move to Spurs

Former Tottenham forward Mido has advised Gareth Bale to move back to Tottenham after amid rumours linking him away from the Bernabeu. There are reports of Bale retiring early but Mido hopes that it is not true.

In fact, he believes that the Welshman is very professional and that he gave it his best effort at both Spurs and Real Madrid, which is why he deserves more respect. He also recalled the Welshman’s first day at Spurs and stated that he would love to see him with the Londoners again.

“I hope that’s not true. I’ve always known Gareth as a top professional, he gave everything for Tottenham and gave everything for Real Madrid and I believe he deserves more respect.
“Honestly, I would love to see him back at Tottenham. I remember his first day at Tottenham, I was there and I remember him being shown around the training ground with his mum and dad as a young boy.”

Mido thinks that the former Southampton star would get his spark back if he returns to north London as he is loved at Spurs and plays really well when that happens before reiterating that the forward deserves more respect than what he is getting.

“I believe if he goes back to Tottenham, he will get his desire back. I think Gareth is one of those players who needs to feel loved to play well, and at Tottenham everyone loves him.
“The news that’s coming out now is really bad because you can see there’s something against him at Madrid and he deserves more respect.”

Chelsea full-back and former Real Madrid star Marcos Alonso has been linked with a move back to the Bernabeu. However, he stated that he is happy at Chelsea but ended with an obligatory ‘we will see’.

The Spaniard stated that him being linked to the Galacticos makes him happy because it means that he is doing something right. However, he is currently focused on the Europa League final against Arsenal in Baku.

"Yes [happy to hear of interest from Real Madrid]. It means I’m doing well if other teams are trying to get in touch. I am very happy here but we will see what happens this summer.
"First of all, I’m focussing on the final. I am very happy to have four more years here and hopefully I will stay many more years. For me, the path changed. I started very well. Then the manager wanted different things from me.”

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos might just leave the club this summer. The defender didn’t have the best of seasons and missed the last few games due to an injury.

And according to reports from Spain, the captain is considering the possibility of leaving the club in the summer as his relationship with club president Florentino Perez has strained following their verbal clash after Madrid’s defeat to Ajax.

Juventus, Manchester United and Liverpool have been linked with the Spain captain.

Meanwhile, according to another report, Real Madrid have received a ‘miraculous’ offer for Gareth Bale. The Welshman has been linked with a move away from the Bernabeu and the Galacticos have reportedly received an offer from China that would see the Welshman go.

However, Bale is not interested in moving to China just yet but Perez has already accepted the offer.

There is going to be a major overhaul at Real Madrid this summer and everyone is aware of it. A lot of star players are set to come in with Eden Hazard, Paul Pogba and Luka Jovic being linked to the Bernabeu.

However, in order to facilitate such an overhaul, some players will have to leave. The future of Gareth Bale and Keylor Navas are already somewhat known as the pair are set to be sold.

Meanwhile, there are a few others who could be sold but nothing concrete has come up just yet. And one among them is Isco.

The Spaniard had a terrible season with the Blancos despite the fact that he got a lot of chances under Julen Lopetegui. And now, reports from Spain claim that he had actually called Barcelona in order to ask them to sign him but they rejected his advances.

Real Madrid reportedly haven’t forgiven him for it.
