#3 Gareth Bale

Bale celebrates with his kids

The pursuit of Gareth Bale has been dubbed by many like the pursuit of happiness for many clubs – and there is an update in this pursuit. Apparently, the Mirror informs us that Gareth Bale has rejected a potential move to Bayern Munich as he only intends to leave Real Madrid for a Premier League club.

Everything now shifts and depends on Madrid’s incoming manager and his plans for the Welshman. So, while Lopetegui decides how he can use Bale, the Welshman will definitely be part of the new manager's plans for next season. With a number of stars who will return late to the club for next season, Bale will spearhead the club's charge at the start of the term.

Bale now 28, is in the prime of his career but also quite prone to injury and will require a good consistent number of games for Madrid this upcoming season. If Bale is not given sufficient game-time, he could leave next season making it important for the incoming manager to resolve this situation.

#2 Alex Sandro

Sandro in action for Juventus

Juventus left-back Alex Sandro has been in good form for his club this season, although the Brazilian has not fit into the manager's plans for the World Cup. The 27-year-old is in the prime of his career, has been excellent for Juventus in the past three seasons and has been tipped to move away from the club.

With a number of Premier League teams and Spanish teams in the mix to sign the player, clubs will battle it out to sign the player. With Massimiliano Allegri staying at the club, the manager could convince the Brazilian of staying put given the challenge of Carlo Ancelotti and Napoli bring next season.

A key player for Juventus, Allegri will not risk selling the player for any fee and the chances of the player leaving the club are slim.

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo

The Portuguese superstar is a demanding player who needs consistent game-time and is settled in Spain despite his tax charges that he will face soon.

Juventus are said to be preparing a bid for the player is it claimed while Real Madrid squashed rumours of a move for Mbappe, as Ronaldo is set to stay put at the Spanish giants.
