Real Madrid transfer news: Most likely ins and outs ranked and rated – Eriksen, Isco, Bale
REAL MADRID have already spent over £300million this summer, but there could still be plenty more activity at the Bernabeu before the transfer window closes.
Real Madrid team to be 'built around' Eden Hazard says pundit
Zinedine Zidane is in the process of rebuilding his squad after Real Madrid endured a disastrous 2018/19 campaign which saw them finish 19 points behind La Liga champions Barcelona.
Real have also been linked with Christian Eriksen after the Dane admitted he was looking for a new challenge away from Tottenham.
However, a number of experienced campaigners are likely to be heading for the exit to create space in the dressing room – but who is most likely to finalise a deal according to Football Whispers?

The 22-year-old would add strength in depth to Mauricio Pochettino’s midfield, while Real are keen to offload some of their fringe players in order to balance the books after their hefty spending.
4. Isco (Liverpool) – 3.1
Isco fell out of favour under Zidane towards the end of the season, despite having signed a new deal containing a £650m release clause.

3. Toni Kroos (Juventus) – 3.2
Juventus are said to be interested in both Kroos and Isco, with the German most at risk if Real sign Pogba from United.
United are one of the only clubs who are able to afford the Welsh winger’s wages, although the Old Trafford club are unlikely to take the risk of a permanent transfer.
Due to Bale’s questionable injury record, a loan move has been mooted – especially with the 29-year-old unfancied by Zidane.
And now Hazard’s arrival at the Bernabeu could have potentially put the brakes on a move.

2. Donny van de Beek (Ajax) – 3.1
Van de Beek is believed to be Real’s Plan B if they can’t sign Pogba (although the Frenchman has not yet been given a transfer rating by Football Whispers), with the Ajax youngster having impressed on their run to the Champions League semi-finals.
The Dane is into the final year of his contract in north London and would add some much-needed creativity to the Real midfield, although Spurs will likely hold out for at least £80m.
