REAL MADRID TRANSFER NEWS: THE LATEST & LIVE PLAYER RUMOURS FROM THE BERNABEU
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.

IBRAHIMOVIC KEEN ON REAL DEAL
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is keen on moving to Real Madrid following his release by Manchester United, according to Diario Gol.
