Saturday's Tottenham Hotspur transfer talk news roundup: Luka Jovic, Brahim Diaz, Gareth Bale

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Tottenham on Saturday, September 5.

The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Tottenham Hotspur eye possible reinforcements.

Spurs were among the biggest spenders during the January transfer window but are expected to be active again in the summer as Jose Mourinho continues to mould his squad.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Saturday morning's Tottenham Hotspur transfer talk news roundup:


AC Milan leading race to sign Real Madrid forward Luka Jovic?

Ac Milan have reportedly held discussions with Real Madrid regarding the potential signing of Luka Jovic.

After a dismal first campaign at the Bernabeu, Jovic has been made available for transfer, preferably on loan due to Real being unable to recoup the £54m fee which they shelled out on the Serbia international last summer.

A number of Premier League clubs, including Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur, have been credited with an interest in the 22-year-old.

However, according to Tuttosport, Milan and Real officials spoke about Jovic when closing off a deal for Brahim Diaz.

The report suggests that Milan are in the market for an alternative to veteran Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who recently opted to extend his stay at San Siro by a further 12 months.

Due to their planned financial outlay on other targets, the Italian giants would prefer to sign a younger player on a temporary basis.



Real Madrid 'rejected £89m Gareth Bale bid from Premier League club'

Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has claimed that the club turned down a €100m (£89.3m) bid for Gareth Bale from an unnamed Premier League side last summer.

Bale has been tipped to leave the Spanish champions for a number of transfer windows now, and was also thought to be close to a lucrative move to the Chinese Super League last summer.

However, the 31-year-old recently claimed that Madrid were making it "very difficult" for him to leave, despite manager Zinedine Zidane not considering him part of his first-team plans at the Bernabeu.

Bale started only 12 La Liga matches last season as Los Blancos dethroned Barcelona, but Calderon claims that Zidane thought Bale would play a bigger role at the start of the campaign.

"I know in the last day of the transfer window last year there was an offer from the Premier League," Calderon told talkSPORT.

"They offered €100m and Real Madrid turned down that offer because they thought Bale would be a player in their side.

"I'm not allowed to say the name, though I do know the name of the club. I think at the end there was a disagreement as Madrid decided not to sell the player, because they thought he was a player who could be used and be in the starting lineup."

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are the two Premier League sides to have been most heavily linked with Bale recently.
