Premier League transfer news: Gareth Bale, Eden Hazard, N’Golo Kante, Alisson

The futures of Bale and Hazard will depend
on the manager situations at their clubs

One-Minute Read

After leading Real to a third Champions League title in a row,
Zinedine Zidane shocked the football world on 31 May by quitting
the La Liga side. While no replacement has been named, the Daily Star reports that former player Guti and
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte are the two favourites to take over from
Zidane. 

Bale scored twice in the Champions League final against
Liverpool and has hinted at leaving Madrid, the Independent reports, but Zidane’s departure
“could have changed things”. 

Meanwhile the Daily Mail adds that if the Welsh forward does
leave the European champions, the Premier League would be his
likely destination. Bale has been linked with German side Bayern
Munich but he will only consider a return to England’s
top-flight. 

Hazard waits on Chelsea decisions

Another club whose managerial situation will affect the future
of their players is Chelsea. The Blues’ current boss Antonio Conte
is reportedly set for the sack after failing to secure Champions
League football next season. Conte’s uncertain future is also
having an impact on where Eden Hazard will play next season. The
Belgium captain said he “wants to know” what will happen at Chelsea
before deciding his own future. (ESPN)

Madrid/Liverpool

Roma goalkeeper Alisson Becker says there will be no transfer

resolved before the World Cup. To be honest, I left the
responsibility of all of the negotiations with my representative.
If it is not resolved before the first match, it will only be after
the World Cup. My thoughts are 100% here.” (Sky
