So the latest figures being mentioned for Gareth Bale are an £85m transfer fee and wages of £8.8m a year (after tax). Cue rumours of a mass Madrid exit so they can actually afford it… Angel Di Maria is wanted by Man Utd, PSG and Arsenal and will apparently cost £34m. United are also keen on Fabio Coentrao, as are Spurs, but we knew that. There’s talk of David Moyes making a £30m offer for Mesut Ozil too. And Everton are holding Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines back by not letting them leave, conveniently.
Vlad Chiriches' move from Steaua Bucharest to Tottenham could be back on. Arsenal are being linked with a couple of keepers (Kiko Casillas and Emiliano Viviano, me neither) and Liverpool will have to cough up £6m if they want to sign Tiago Ilori.
Finally, Bebe could be about to return to Portugal with Pacos de Ferreira interested. Yep, that’s probably about his level.
