    Milan are interested in signing Luka Modric with the midfielder soon to be a free agent when he leaves Real Madrid. The 39-year-old announced his decision to leave the club last month, ending his 14-year stay in the Spanish capital. The Serie A club are exploring a deal for the Croatia international, who is yet to decide on what his next step will be with other clubs expected to hold significant interest.

    Following Alvaro Arbeloa's promotion to coach Real Madrid Castilla (the club's reserve team), both parties are now keen to extend the 18-year-old's deal.

    We've all seen the smiles and mutual affection when Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold are together. The running joke within the England camp is that the pair are inseparable.

    Real Madrid have reached an agreement with Liverpool to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold early - enabling the right-back to be available for their entire Club World Cup campaign. The Spanish club will pay €10million (£8.4m; $11.4m) in a single payment for Alexander-Arnold, with the deal worth even more to Liverpool as they will no longer cover the remaining salary and bonuses he is owed. The 26-year-old will sign a six-year contract with his new side.

    Remember when Real Madrid lifted their record-extending 15th Champions League title at Wembley last year, Kylian Mbappe was set to join and it looked as if the club would sweep all before them for years to come? That now seems a long time ago after Madrid relinquished their Liga and Champions League titles from last term, lost the final of the Copa del Rey to Barcelona and finished the campaign with coach Carlo Ancelotti leaving for Brazil. But change is already afoot at the Bernabeu.
