Saturday morning's La Liga transfer talk news roundup:
Manchester United 'may have to settle for Sergio Reguilon loan deal'

Manchester United have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Sergio Reguilon as Real Madrid are only prepared to allow the defender to leave on loan this summer, according to a report.
Reguilon starred in the Sevilla team which achieved a top-four finish and a sixth Europa League crown in the 2019-20 season, making 38 appearances in total while on loan at Julen Lopetegui's side.
The Spaniard is now back in Madrid ahead of the new campaign, but with Ferland Mendy and Marcelo among the ranks on the left-hand side for Los Blancos, Reguilon could supposedly seek a move elsewhere this summer.
However, Sport claims that while Real manager Zinedine Zidane is happy to part ways with the left-back, the powers-that-be would rather see Reguilon depart on loan for the 2020-21 campaign.
The report comes as a blow to United, who are believed to have already submitted a £27m bid for Reguilon, but the Red Devils are still said to be at the head of the queue for the 23-year-old despite strong interest from other clubs.
Reguilon's current deal at the Bernabeu runs until the end of the 2022-23 campaign.
Barcelona lining up £22m Memphis Depay bid?

Barcelona are reportedly lining up a £22m move for Lyon forward Memphis Depay ahead of the new La Liga campaign.
Having recently replaced Quique Setien in the Camp Nou dugout, new Barca manager Ronald Koeman is expected to oversee a significant overhaul of his squad this summer.
Koeman and Depay worked closely together during the former's time as Netherlands manager, and Koeman is reportedly keen on a reunion with the 26-year-old in Catalonia.
According to Post United, Barca are set to land the Dutch forward in a deal worth €25m (£22m), with Depay's contract at Lyon set to expire next summer.
The former Manchester United man has chalked up 57 goals in 139 games for Lyon across all competitions, and Depay marked Lyon's first game of the 2020-21 Ligue 1 campaign with a hat-trick in a 4-1 victory against Dijon.
While current Barca forward Luis Suarez appears to be inching closer towards the Camp Nou exit doors, Lionel Messi has confirmed that he will stay on in Catalonia just one week after submitting a transfer request.
