Real Madrid transfer news LIVE
Monday June 4
De Gea dilemma
Real Madrid will have to look elsewhere for a new goalkeeper after David Dea Gea revealed he’s happy at Manchester United.
“Usually I'm always calm, the important thing now is to start the World Cup on June 15th,” said De Gea, ahead of Spain’s 1-1 friendly draw with Switzerland on Sunday.
“Is the most important thing. Do well in Russia, have a good role and do things in the best possible way.
“Future? I'm happy where I am, happy. Now, very focused on the national team.”
Real Madrid reportedly fear Liverpool or Chelsea signing Alisson after Roma rejected their opening offer.
Don Balon say Los Blancos bid £43million for the Brazil international.
But Roma want more and Real now fear their Premier League rivals outspending them.
Liverpool want Alisson to replace Loris Karius, while Chelsea are interested amid uncertainty over Thibaut Courtois’ future.
Klopp willing to sell Ronaldo
Jurgen Klopp is willing to sell Cristiano Ronaldo if he takes the Real Madrid job.
That’s according to Diario Gol, who say he is open to letting the 33-year-old go.
Klopp appears some way off the Real job, due to his determination to stay at Liverpool.
But, if he does take over, expect Ronaldo’s head to roll.
Benzema discusses Liverpool goal
Karim Benzema has insisted he was not lucky to score for Real Madrid against Liverpool in the Champions League final 10 days ago.
The France international scored after an error from Loris Karius but has now said: "My goal from Kiev, it was not a matter of luck," he said.
"I do not believe in luck, it's a matter of work.
"It's an easy goal but you have to be there, in the right place and at the right time, to put it in."
Bale to Man Utd twist
Gareth Bale is willing to wait before deciding whether to swap Real Madrid for Manchester United.
Express Sport understands the Wales international is delaying any decision over his future.
And that’s because he wants to see who Los Blancos appoint as their next boss.
Zinedine Zidane’s exit could see Bale stay, with the United target struggling for game time under the Frenchman.

Salah plan
Real Madrid want Mohamed Salah if Neymar fails to move to the Bernabeu from PSG.
That’s according to Spanish outlet Don Balon, who say the Egyptian is in their sights.
Real plan is to go for Salah and pair him with Eden Hazard and Harry Kane in attack.
But Liverpool are likely to drive a hard bargain and may demand a world-record fee for their talisman.
Ronaldo told exit decision
Cristiano Ronaldo surprisingly told his Real Madrid team-mates he wanted to leave BEFORE their Champions League final win over Liverpool.
Marca say the 33-year-old is hellbent on quitting the La Liga giants.
And Ronaldo, it seems, is eyeing a special move back to Manchester United.
The Portugal star left Old Trafford in 2009 but now, nine years on, is eyeing an emotional Old Trafford return.
