The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Real Madrid eye possible reinforcements.
Florentino Perez oversaw a significant overhaul of his squad last summer before focusing more on youth in January. As is always the case with Madrid, though, some of the biggest names in football continue to be linked, even in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news of possible comings and goings at the Bernabeu.
Tuesday morning's Real Madrid transfer talk news roundup:
Manchester United 'revive interest in Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale'

Manchester United have reportedly rekindled their interest in Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale.
The 31-year-old hinted last week that he would be open to leaving the Spanish champions and that he was close to doing so last summer, only for the club to make it "very difficult" for him to move away.
Manager Zinedine Zidane does not consider Bale part of his first-team plans for the upcoming season, though, and Madrid are understood to be willing to listen to offers for him now.
Manchester United have regularly been linked with the Wales international in the past, and Marca reports that they have now revived their interest ahead of a possible switch this summer.
United are known to be in the market for a new winger and still regard Jadon Sancho as their top target, but talks with Borussia Dortmund have reached an impasse due to the asking price.
Bale's wages could also be a stumbling block in any negotiations for a move away from the Bernabeu, though, with those thought to have priced Tottenham Hotspur out of a potential bid for their former player.
Bale started just 12 La Liga games last season, scoring two goals as Madrid regained the title.
Manchester United 'still want three more signings this summer'

Manchester United are reportedly still hopeful of bringing in three new signings before the transfer window closes in October.
The Red Devils have been linked with a number of big-money deals throughout the window so far, but the only arrival at Old Trafford has been Donny van de Beek.
The Manchester Evening News claims that Ed Woodward is still eager to do more business before the window closes, though, despite the Premier League season getting underway on Saturday.
Long-term priority Jadon Sancho remains United's top target as they continue to try to negotiate with Borussia Dortmund and the player's agent over the transfer fee and wage packet.
The report also claims that United are in the market for a new left-back, centre-back and possibly a new centre-forward too.
United have been linked with a move for Real Madrid left-back Sergio Reguilon in recent days, with the latest reports suggesting that he has been offered to the club.
The likes of Kalidou Koulibaly and Dayot Upamecano have been touted as possible centre-back targets, but the report claims that they are now looking more closely at Dynamo Kiev defender Vitaliy Mykolenko instead.
United's involvement in the semi-finals of the Europa League last season means that their start to the new campaign has been delayed until September 19, when they will face Crystal Palace at home.
