Gareth Bale's Real Madrid future in doubt

Gareth Bale's Real Madrid future looks in serious doubt after he turned in another underwhelming performance against Barcelona - and now the fans have even turned on him.

Bale was expected to become the club's main man following the exit of Cristiano Ronaldo.

But he's failed to step up to the challenge and now looks at a cross roads.

Injury problems and the sacking of Julen Lopetegui have halted Bale's progress this season despite the faith president Florentino Perez has shown in him.

Now at the age of 29, the winger has a big decision to make over his future this summer.

It's unlikely that any of the Premier League's top clubs will be willing to break the bank for Bale who is tied down until 2022 under his current contract.

Manchester United Icardi deal

Manchester United will be offered a deal to sign Mauro Icardi from Inter Milan.

And the proposal will see Romelu Lukaku end his Old Trafford nightmare and head to Italy.

Express Sport understands Inter have given up trying to keep Icardi past the summer.

The San Siro giants are keen on landing Belgium forward Lukaku and a swap deal is now on the cards.

Rodgers' Rangers raid

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers will make a sensational swoop for Rangers' Alfredo Morelos in the summer.

Rodgers quit Celtic for Leicester last month and is already planning his transfer targets.

TeamTalk claim Rodgers will not raid his former club Celtic but is interested in Rangers' star man Morelos.

They are also seeking to land £30m-rated Elif Elmas from Fenerbahce.

PSG eye £91m Lazio star

PSG are ready to break the bank and beat Manchester United, Milan and Chelsea to Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

United in particular have been linked with the Lazio midfielder over recent months but he is seen as too expensive.

Yet PSG are willing to offer as much as £91m (€100m) for the player in the summer.

Calciomercato claim Lazio president Claudio Lotito has already lowered his £130m (€150m) valuation of Milinkovic-Savic.

Man City deal

Manchester City are set to hand Bernardo Silva a six-year contract to stave off interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The Sun reckon Spain's two biggest clubs are in the running to sign midfielder Silva this summer.

But City are ready to at least double his £100,000-a-week wages to keep Silva happy at the Etihad.

The 24-year-old is seen by Pep Guardiola as the long-term successor to veteran David Silva in the City midfield.

Real Madrid want Eriksen

Real Madrid want to sign Christian Eriksen from Tottenham - and are ready to throw Gareth Bale into the bargain.

Eriksen and Chelsea star Eden Hazard are the two men top of Florentino Perez’s wish list at Real.

The Bernabeu club are trying to force a move for Eriksen, who is yet to sign a new contract at Spurs.

Express Sport understands Real are planning to use Bale - who left Spurs for Spain in 2013 - as a makeweight in the transfer.

Arsenal want Yannick Carrasco

Arsenal are still gunning to sign Yannick Carrasco after failing to land the Belgian in January.

The Gunners could not agree a loan fee with Chinese side Dalian Yifang to bring the 25-year-old back to Europe.

However, it is understood Arsenal will make another approach for the player come the end of the season.

One problem, however, is his £8.8m-a-year wages which Arsenal are not prepared to cover in full.
