Bale at Cardiff training ground
Gareth Bale visited Cardiff’s training base where it is believed he held transfer talks with manager Steve Morison.
The Wales legend is a free agent after confirming his departure from Real Madrid.

And rumours of a sensational return to his place of birth has since followed with Bale on the hunt for a new side.
It comes after he led Wales to a first World Cup in 64 years following their 1-0 play-off final triumph over war-torn Ukraine.
In a recent development, the winger spoke with Cardiff boss Morison and discussed his future, according to WalesOnline.
They claim Bale was undertaking physio at the club’s Vale of Glamorgan HQ with the FAW’s medical staff. 
PSG blow for Chelsea and Spurs over Skriniar
Chelsea and Tottenham have been dealt a blow after Paris Saint-Germain launched a second, improved bid for Milan Skriniar, according to reports.
The two Premier League sides are desperately seeking defensive reinforcements this summer.
Spurs have qualified for the Champions League after a three-year absence and will need to improve their squad depth to compete on all fronts.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have already lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen and are expected to lose both Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso before the start of the new season.

Both clubs have identified Skriniar, 27, as a target amid his stellar, five-year stint at Inter Milan.
However, PSG currently lead the race after launching another bid for the in-demand Slovakia international.
Inter are currently demanding around £68m for their star defender and are playing hardball as they face the prospect of losing fellow centre-back Alessandro Bastoni, potentially even to Chelsea or Spurs.
Two weeks ago, PSG are said to have launched a cheeky £43m offer – well shy of the target.
However, with Skriniar out of contract at the end of the coming season, Inter could accept a fee of closer to £50m.
And multiple reports in Italy claim PSG have come back with an improved offer of £43m up front, with a further £4.3m in add ons.
Henrikh snubs Roma for Inter
Former Arsenal and Manchester United star Henrikh Mkhitaryan has completed his move to Inter Milan.
The Armenian snubbed a new deal at Roma in favour of a move to Simone Inzaghi’s side.
Mkhitaryan has spent the last three seasons at Roma playing a key role as they won the inaugural Conference League.

He played 44 times in all competitions scoring five goals and assisting a further nine for Jose Mourinho’s side.
The 33-year-old rose to fame while playing for Borussia Dortmund becoming the league’s top assister in the 2015/16 season.
Consequently he earned a move to Man Utd for around £30million playing 63 games for the club.
As part of the deal that saw Alexis Sanchez move to Old Trafford from Arsenal, Mkhitaryan moved the other way and featured 59 times for the Gunners.
Inter have already confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Andre Onana from Ajax and appear to have a deal sorted to bring Romelu Lukaku back to the San Siro on loan.
The Belgian striker is believed to have taken a pay cut to force the return to Italy. They remain interested in free agent Paulo Dybala with his time at Juventus over.
Blues vs Red Devils for Rabiot
Chelsea could battle Manchester United for Adrien Rabiot.
That’s after Thomas Tuchel made direct contact with the Juventus midfielder this week.
The Mail claims Rabiot is set for a fresh start after three years in Turin.
The France international joined on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019.

And Rabiot has gone on to score six times in 129 appearances.
Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag is said to be a big fan of the resilient playmaker.

Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag is said to be a big fan of the resilient playmaker.
Antony ‘desperate’ for Old Trafford move
Antony is desperate to quit Ajax and be reunited with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, according to reports.
The Red Devils’ new manager is itching to kick off his squad overhaul with a move for the Brazilian winger.
Antony, 22, shone under Ten Hag at Ajax winning two Eredivisie crowns and the KNVB Cup together.

Last season, the forward scored 12 goals and laid on ten assists in 33 games in all competitions as the Dutch giants won the league title.
And now, Antony is desperate to follow Ten Hag to Man Utd in order to continue his progression, according to Goal.
Earlier this week, SunSport revealed United officials had flown in to Amsterdam to get a deal for the Brazilian over the line.
The club are set to splash out £40million on Antony as their first summer signing. United have already lost Edinson Cavani and Jesse Lingard from their attacking ranks this summer.
And they’re wasting no time in looking to replace them with a statement signing in Antony. The player had already revealed his admiration for Ten Hag.
City odds-on to retain title
Manchester City and Liverpool are favourites to be crowned 2022-23 Premier League champions.
That’s according to bookmakers Betfair, who are predicting another two-horse race with Pep Guardiola’s Citizens available at 4/7 and Liverpool at 12/5.
The dust has settled on the 2021-22 campaign with Manchester City landing their fourth title in the last five years.
But it’s a quick turnaround with less than 50 days until the new 2022-23 season starts on August 6th, with the fixtures now released.
It will include a six-week mid-season break to accommodate the World Cup in Qatar with the final round of fixtures to be played on the final weekend in May.
Manchester City are odds-on favourites at 4/7 to defend their crown.
And it’s easy to see why given they’ve already added Norwegian superstar Erling Haaland to their ranks.
Betfair odds

Manchester City – 4/7
Liverpool – 12/5
Tottenham – 14/1
Chelsea – 16/1
Manchester United – 25/1
Arsenal – 40/1
Newcastle – 100/1

Blues take Clauss action
Chelsea have made “initial contact” over signing Lens star Jonathan Clauss.
That is according to Goal reporter Nizaar Kinsella, who claims the Blues are keeping tabs on Clauss.
The West Londoners reportedly see the right-back at Cesar Azpilicueta’s replacement.
The move would cost £10million and Atletico Madrid are also interested.
It has been added that the France international is also a Chelsea fan.
Maguire to stay
Manchester United are set to keep Harry Maguire at Old Trafford this summer.
But Maguire could be in danger of losing the captain’s armband under new manager Erik ten Hag.
According to the Mail, the centre-back’s captaincy situation is “up in the air”.
While the Red Devils will keep the England international, they could look to flog any of Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe.
Should they successfully clear room, the Manchester giants will go after another centre-back this summer.
Ultras don’t want proper Romelu welcome
Scorned Inter Milan Ultras have fired a warning at Romelu Lukaku ahead of his imminent return to Italy.
Chelsea have agreed to loan the Belgian back to the San Siro side for just £7million, a year after buying him for £97.5m.
While it would appear great business for Inter on the pitch, a section of supporters have told others not to celebrate the return of their deadly former No9 too much.

The Curva Nord were furious at the nature of Lukaku’s departure 12 months ago. They wrote at the time: “Despite the fact we protected you like a son, like one of us, you too proved yourself to be just like all the rest, going to your knees for money.”
Addressing fellow supporters now, Curva Nord have urged fans not to “run and drool” after him – instead claiming that he will have to earn their affection back with “humility and sweat”.
They wrote: “Curva Nord supports Inter and will not make any objection to the player (despite last summer’s behaviour). Given this no one should go to welcome him with scarves or banners of the Curva or of the groups that compose it.
“Everything that will eventually be done towards him in the future will have to earn it on the pitch with humility and sweat …
“He was supported (and treated) like a King, now he is one like many others.”
Four-club Fab fight
Arsenal and Newcastle lead the transfer race ahead of Manchester United and Manchester City for Napoli star Fabian Ruiz.
That’s according to Corriere dello Sport, who claim the Partenopei want £26million for Ruiz.
The Serie A giants still hope to keep the 26-year-old but might cash in this summer as he only has one year left on his contract.
The Spain international amassed a total of seven goals and five assists in 38 appearances across all competitions last season.
Utd and Brentford duel for Eriksen as ‘Spurs pull out’
Tottenham look set to reject the chance to re-sign former star Christian Eriksen, who has been linked with Manchester United.
Eriksen, who spent seven seasons at Spurs between 2013-2020, will soon be a free agent when his short-term contract at Brentford expires on June 30.
A romantic return to North London had been touted but SunSport understands Antonio Conte’s side is likely to focus on other targets instead.
This leaves the path clear for the likes of United and Brentford to fight it out for the services of the 30-year-old, who is understood to be seeking a relatively long-term deal.
Chelsea target Militao
Chelsea are keeping tabs on Real Madrid star Eder Militao as they look for defensive reinforcement.
That is according to Mundo Deportivo, who claim that the Blues are preparing an offer for Militao.
However, Real are in no way keen on letting the centre-back go in the summer.
Los Blancos have also slapped a whopping €250million (£215m) asking price on the Brazil international, who has a contract until 2025
Kounde still linked
Sevilla star Jules Kounde is on holiday after reaching an agreement with Chelsea.
That is according to AS, who continue to report that Kounde is very close to joining the Blues.
The Spanish outlet claims “all roads” lead the centre-back to Stamford Bridge this summer.
However, Barcelona continue to monitor the France international as manager Xavi is very keen
Sam Johnstone deal
Ex-Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has agreed to join Crystal Palace on a free transfer.
Johnstone will leave West Brom when his contract expires at the end of the month.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the keeper has a deal in place to join Palace.

Red Devils struggling to offload Martial and Bailly
EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United are having a nightmare trying to find a buyer for Anthony Martial due to his sky-high wages, writes NEIL CUSTIS.
United are ready to accept a big hit on the £38.5million they paid for him with offers of around £20million ready to be heard.
But the Frenchman’s £240,000-a-week wages are proving a massive stumbling block to any move with no club prepared to match that.

Martial still has two years left on that deal which means United may have to agree to a pay off to get him out of Old Trafford.
Sevilla in La Liga showed interest last season when they took him on a fourth month loan in the second-half of last season.
But the frontman flopped and he will return for pre-season training at Carrington on Monday.
United are also actively trying to find a buyer for centre-back Eric Bailly having offered him to Newcastle United – but that was met with a lukewarm response.
Having signed a new contract in April 2021 he still has two years left of his current contract.
As with Martial, United are ready to take a hit on the 28-year-old with an asking price of just £8.5million for a player who costs them £30million from Villarreal in 2016.
Hammers can nail Maehle to move
Atalanta wing-back Joakim Maehle is on West Ham’s radar.
That’s according to Tutto Atalanta, who suggest the Hammers are the only club to show serious interest in the Denmark star so far.

Hazard lights up the Toon
Newcastle are reportedly closing in on the signing of Borussia Dortmund star Thorgan Hazard.
The Germans want £12million for the 29-year-old winger, according to Bild.

The 45-cap Belgium star is under contract at Dortmund until 2024.
Bild say he is already one of the top earners at the Bundesliga club.
But they report he is keen to boost his wages to about £6m-per-year – and that is ‘peanuts’ to money-bag Magpies.
The German newspaper also point out Hazard will face competition for his spot next season from the likes of Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, 17, Gio Reyna, 19, and new recruit Karem Adeyemi, 20.
Foxy move to avoid carnival
Leicester’s Premier League opener against Brentford has been  moved back by a day – to avoid a clash with the city’s Caribbean Carnival.
The Foxes were due to kick-off their campaign with a home fixture against the Bees at 3pm on Saturday, just two hours after the Carnival’s 1pm start.
That would have been a logistics nightmare with up to 80,000 people expected to attend the Carnival, which has returned after a three year absence due to Covid concerns.
However any potential clash and draw on police resources was avoided after the Foxes agreed to switch their game to Sunday, August 7 with an earlier 2pm kick off.

Utd ‘ready to big bid on Evanilson’

The Brazilian’s agent Marcio Barros insists only Brighton have so far made a formal offer for the 22-year-old.
Barros spoke out after reports in Portugal that United had bid around £53m – compared to the £70m Porto are said to want.
Evanilson, capped only at Under-23 level, notched 21 goals and five assists in 45 games last season.
