Top story: Real won't miss out on Mbappe

Paul Mariner and Alexis Nunes dissect the questions looming over Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
News that Manchester United seem have to ended their interest in Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata is the latest complication in a summer that Los Blancos president Florentino Perez had expected to be nice and calm.
Just a few weeks ago, Madrid had looked set for a relatively placid transfer window, following their historic claiming of the Champions League and La Liga double -- with Zinedine Zidane's side generally acknowledged as being the best around and not in need of any major overhaul.

Real Betis midfielder Dani Ceballos earned the Most Valuable Player award after helping Spain finish as runners-up at the European Under-21 Championship in Poland. Now, he is one of the most sought-after playmakers in La Liga.
According to reports, Real Madrid and Barcelona are both hoping to sign the 20-year-old. Given he remains under contract with Betis until June of 2020, Ceballos' modest €15 million release clause makes him an even more attractive transfer target.

The FC panel discuss the lack of love for Gareth Bale at Real Madrid and wonder if it's time for him to make a move.
Amid reports that Zinedine Zidane called Kylian Mbappe about joining Real Madrid, Julien Laurens weighs in on a potential move.
Tuesday, the Fourth of July, was a gloriously silly day in 2017's silly season. While Madrid newspapers claimed that Real Betis' young star, Dani Ceballos, was bound to join Real Madrid, Barcelona media had the same player on their covers, apparently dying to play for ... Barcelona. Needless to say, both can't be right. It might well be that neither is.
The fact is the 20-year-old has become one of the biggest sensations of the summer after his outstanding performances in the European Under-21...Danilo Luiz da Silva managed to save some face with Real Madrid in end
The FC panel discuss the lack of love for Gareth Bale at Real Madrid and wonder if it's time for him to make a move.
Danilo Luiz da Silva didn't have many highlights with Real Madrid, particularly considering his hefty salary.
After 56 matches in two seasons, Danilo Luiz da Silva seems bound to leave Real Madrid for Juventus, as the Bianconeri look to replace Dani Alves with a younger Brazilian fullback.
The news of Danilo's likely departure is hardly a surprise to any Real Madrid fan. Overall, his tenure at the Santiago Bernabeu has been largely disappointing, given his €31 million price tag and the high expectations his signing generated in the summer of 2015.
Despite Daniel Carvajal's tendency to pick up muscular...Gareth Bale dodges Cristiano Ronaldo questions with quick getaway
Real Madrid star Gareth Bale is clearly not keen to discuss the future of his apparently disgruntled teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
Bale spent last weekend back home playing a celebrity golf tournament at Celtic Manor in Newport where his Wales team, which included comedian Rob Brydon and ex-Liverpool forward Craig Bellamy, finished fourth in a competition won by an England selection featuring former rugby captain Mike Tindall and TV presenter Denise van Outen.

ESPN FC's club correspondents were given the task of picking their team's XI, including potential transfer targets, for when the season kicks off.
Chelsea's predicted XI.
CHELSEA: Champions go all out
Tiemoue Bakayoko is in line to be Chelsea's first signing of a busy summer, and Antonio Conte's plan has long been to pair him with N'Golo Kante in central midfield. Alex Sandro represents a clear upgrade on Marcos Alonso at left wing-back and should arrive at Stamford Bridge as the world's most expensive defender.

Real Madrid striker Mariano's move to Lyon signals the start of what should be a comparatively quiet summer at the Bernabeu.
Much like last year, when the re-signing of Alvaro Morata from Juventus began and ended Zinedine Zidane's cash business, the transfer window won't so much be thrown wide open as left ajar to let in a rare breeze of tranquility.

Although fresh media reports claim that Real Madrid remain keen to bring both Theo and Lucas Hernandez across the capital from Atletico Madrid this summer, it looks most likely that the brothers will be facing each other on opposite sides of the divide in the Spanish capital in the coming seasons.
Wednesday morning's Marca went big with a story headlined "Lucas in the pipeline," which said that Madrid had long been tracking the older brother and even tried to pay his €40 million release clause...Juventus eye Real Madrid's Danilo as replacement for Dani Alves
Juventus have reportedly identified Danilo as the top replacement for the departing Dani Alves.
Juventus have eyed Real Madrid right-back Danilo as a replacement for Dani Alves, who is set to be released from his contract ahead of a likely departure for Manchester City, according to reports in both Italy and Spain.
According to Sky Italia, coach Max Allegri and sporting director Fabio Paratici recently identified the 25-year-old as their top choice to replace Alves and will present a €15 million offer, plus add-ons, to Real Madrid for his services.

This summer could be a very long one for Alvaro Morata. The Real Madrid striker is positioning himself for a Bernabeu exit but the list of suitors for his services is not extensive; Manchester United the only club that have been seriously linked with a move for the Spain striker, but even the free-spending Old Trafford board have baulked at the asking price and not without good reason.
Florentino Perez is reportedly seeking to bank a fee of €80 million for Morata, which would make the 24-year-old...Transfer Talk: Real want Dani Ceballos in Madrid next year
