- Gareth Bale's future is in turmoil after it emerged the 24-year-old forward is reluctant to risk his relationship with Tottenham fans by handing in a transfer request.
- Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid's sporting director, has told Tottenham that the Spanish side will not give up in their pursuit of Bale.
- Tottenham want Luka Modric as part of any deal that will see Gareth Bale join Real Madrid
- Bale's world-record transfer has been made a family affair after his mum and dad were spotted going into a meeting with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.
- Tottenham will reluctantly agree to sell Bale to Real as long as Luka Modric is included in what would be a world-record transfer deal.
- Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy hopes that his demands of £100m in cash for the club's star player will be enough to ward off Real Madrid's advances - particularly as the Spanish club still owe money on last summer's purchase of Modric from Spurs.
- Tottenham could stun north London rivals Arsenal by entering the race for Liverpool's 26-year-old striker Luis Suarez, should Bale complete his move to Real Madrid.
Other Transfer Gist
- Rafael Benitez will look to raid former club Liverpool by signing centre-back Martin Skrtel for Napoli, according to reports in Italy.
- Arsenal will have to pay £55m if they still want Suarez after the striker dropped his pursuit of arbitration as a means of leaving for less.

- Joey Barton is keen to join Everton, and is willing to take a big pay cut to make it happen
- Arsenal could be disappointed in their chase for midfielder Bernard, 20, after the player's father confirmed that Brazilian team-mate, 27-year-old striker Hulk, has persuaded the youngster Porto would be a better club at which to develop.
- Liverpool face fierce competition from Borussia Dortmund for the signature of 23-year-old Rubin Kazan forward Salomon Rondon.
- Newcastle are intensifying their efforts to secure QPR striker Loic Remy, 26, on a season-long loan deal after being deterred from a move for Lyon forward Bafetimbi Gomis by the French club's demands for a fee in excess of £6.9m for the 27-year-old.
- West Ham are still in the market to sign Udinese forward Matej Vydra, 21, as they look to solve their striking problems.
- Argentina international Fernando Gago, 27, has completed a move from Valencia to Boca Juniors, the club where he started his professional career.
