Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Ajax midfielder Van De Beek in case their pursuit of Paul Pogba fail.
Everything around Pogba suggests that his pursuit could drag on through July and into August, leaving Van de Beek as the most feasible available option. Van de Beek has emerged as Plan 'B' for Los Blancos due to his movement, directness and goal scoring prowess. Ajax value the Dutch midfielder around 60 million which will be cheaper what Real Madrid are willing to pay for Pogba.

Fede Valverde: “I've had little time to see the Real Madrid signings because I'm at the Copa America. But I did see the presentations. I'm happy w/ the new project & hope the reinforcements that come in do well. I was also excited about the past but I'm happy with what's coming.”
MARCA 3 clubs have made offers for Theo Hernandez...
1. AC Milan
2. Napoli
3. Bayer Leverkusen
Real Madrid don't want to cut ties with Hernandez and have two options this summer; send him out on a two-year loan or include a buy-back clause in a sale
MARCA: The biggest issue facing the Sociedad is that Leverkusen have Champions League football to offer to Odegaard and that could be a deciding factor, should negotiations be tight.
MARCA: Neymar, Marcelo, and Rodrygo Goes all attended Vinicius Junior's birthday celebrations in Rio. Vinicius doesn't turn 19 until July 12 but decided to have a party now because Zinedine Zidane's preparations for the new season will have started by then.
AS: A possible 4-2-3-1 (or a variant of it 4-2-1-3), with a double pivot in midfield and will also allow Zidane to pick Jovic and Benzema beside each other.
AS: The priority is for Zidane to bring Pogba in order to change the midfield into a more energetic one. That could mean Casemiro's place is in danger.
Work is underway at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu as Real Madrid start their stadium renovations This summer will see the Esquina del Bernabeu shopping centre demolished and the stadium's roof taken back. The roof on the new Bernabeu will be retractable.
