That move will lead to a number of departures which Napoli and Inter Milan are poised to capitalize on.<\/p>\n<h1>Transfer Rumours: Real Madrid, Napoli, Inter Milan<\/h1>\n<h2>Zidane Chooses Pogba<\/h2>\n<p>Real Madrid have decided to take this summer very seriously. Los Blancos have already confirmed the signings of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/4d8cd038\/Luka-Jovic?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Luka Jovic<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/2784f898\/Eder-Militao?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eder Militao<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/a39bb753\/Eden-Hazard?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eden Hazard<\/a>; while they are expected to announce <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/3cefcaef\/Ferland-Mendy?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ferland Mendy<\/a> later this week as well. Now with all of those players in the bag, Zinedine Zidane has one final piece to buy.<\/p>\n<p>He has decided to make <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/867239d3\/Paul-Pogba?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paul Pogba<\/a> his big midfield signing, and according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/real-madrid\/2019\/06\/11\/5cfee40a22601ddc7e8b45a9.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MARCA<\/a>, he has convinced the Real Madrid board as well. But convincing the Real Madrid board wasn&#8217;t the hardest part of the deal. The same MARCA report states that Madrid are unwilling to reach for the\u00a0\u20ac150 million price tag <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/clubs\/manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a> have set.<\/p>\n<p>However, Madrid have other assets they can offer besides a large transfer fee. It is no secret that Manchester United are interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/a58bb1e1\/Gareth-Bale?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gareth Bale<\/a>. Bale may not want to leave, but Madrid plan to operate as if he will eventually see the writing on the wall.<\/p>\n<h2>The Departures<\/h2>\n<p>In order for Real Madrid to add Pogba to their expensive list of additions, Madrid have to make some sales. There have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calciomercato.com\/en\/news\/james-rodriguez-agrees-napoli-move-adl-s-plan-to-convince-real-m-58816\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plenty of rumours<\/a> linking <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/715bf047\/James-Rodriguez?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James Rodriguez<\/a> with a transfer to Italy. Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis said<a href=\"https:\/\/www.calciomercato.com\/en\/news\/de-laurentiis-denies-icardi-move-but-gives-hope-for-james-rodrig-34647\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> &#8220;we will see&#8221;<\/a> when he was asked about James to Naples.<\/p>\n<p>Laurentiis has a very good relationship with both Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and James&#8217;s agent Jorge Mendes. He believes he will be able to get a deal done at a reasonable price. However, James isn&#8217;t the only important Real Madrid export that could be on their way to Italy.<\/p>\n<h2>Inter Milan Transfer Rumours<\/h2>\n<p>Antonio Conte is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calciomercato.com\/en\/news\/from-spain-inter-have-four-real-madrid-stars-on-the-radar-88229\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">keen on bringing a whole host<\/a> of talented players to San Siro as he begins his Inter Milan makeover. The are four Real Madrid players amongst the names he is considering; <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/a58bb1e1\/Gareth-Bale?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gareth Bale<\/a>, Nacho, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/fd51b456\/Lucas-Vazquez?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lucas Vazquez<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/79c0821a\/Mateo-Kovacic?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mateo Kovacic<\/a>. Conte believes any of these four players could really help Inter Milan.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not he is able to convince Gareth Bale is a question for another time.\u00a0 But Nacho, Vazquez and Kovacic would all be great additions to Milan. All three of them would augment a squad which lacks the depth required to fight on multiple fronts as Inter expect to next season.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"F3vtpZkeSD55lVpt3vmmZw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1141515397\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'F3vtpZkeSD55lVpt3vmmZw',sig:'875x_caRirv2T5suAWbfLI-9ezhAoUs5ovP1NsGEr0A=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1141515397',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Word on Football\u2019s Football Transfer Rumours looks at the latest transfer rumours from around World Football.
