Gareth Bale's  camp insist that the Wales forward is not considering leaving  Real Madrid  this summer, reports  AS. Bale is no longer a guaranteed first-team starter under Zinedine Zidane – he has been a substitute in Madrid’s last three Champions League matches – and he is arguably experiencing his most difficult period at the Bernabeu since joining from Spurs in 2013. However, despite his situation, the 28-year-old’s camp insist that he is not contemplating the possibility of seeking pastures new at the end of the season. If Bale leaves Real, it will be because the club have put him up for sale. Bale’s contract at Madrid expires in 2022.

Sergio Aguero remains a doubt for  Manchester City's Sky Live derby against United  on Saturday. The Argentine striker had a fitness test on Friday, having not featured for City since March 4 following a knee injury suffered in training. "I don't know right now [whether he will play]," said Guardiola in his pre-match press conference. "We have training on Friday afternoon and will see how his physical condition is." Gabriel Jesus has started up front in Aguero's absence and admitted he produced one of his worst performances in  City's 3-0 Champions League defeat at Liverpool , but Guardiola is backing the Brazilian to respond. "He is so strong," said the City boss. "He is 21 years old. It is the first time he played at Anfield, it is the first time he played in a knockout game in the Champions League. "You have to live those situations to be better players. You always suffer the first time. The next time will be bet

Pep Guardiola has revealed that super-agent Mino Raiola offered Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Manchester City in January. Responding to criticism from Raiola last week in which he called Guardiola "a coward, a dog", the City manager said he could not understand why somebody with a negative opinion of him would offer him these players. The startling revelation came on the eve of  Saturday's Manchester derby at the Etihad  - live on  Sky Sports Premier League  from 5pm - in which City can seal the title with victory over United.

Mkhitaryan limped off after an hour of the Europa League quarter-final first leg, heading immediately down the tunnel for assessment after being replaced by Alex Iwobi. The Armenian is due for a scan later on Friday to confirm the scale of the injury but Wenger confirmed an initial prognosis by Arsenal's medical team were not positive. Mkhitaryan will not feature in Sunday’s Premier League game at home to Southampton. “He has a scan this afternoon but his medial ligament is touched so he will not be available for Sunday,” Wenger told Sky Sports. “He will not play. For how long he will be out we will know that after the scan. But the first impression is not too positive today. I fear [it could be several weeks] and I hope I’m wrong.” Mkhitaryan has enjoyed an encouraging start to life in north London since arriving at Arsenal as part of the swap deal that took Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United.

Andre Gomes could be en route out this summer: as per AS, he has submitted a transfer request. The Juventus, Manchester United and Tottenham target is also eyed by Liverpool, and joined Barcelona two summers prior for €35 million from Valencia.

What's more, now Sport in Catalonia compose that Barca would release him, inasmuch as they don't lose cash on the arrangement - for €30m, they approve his departure. Talking as of late, the Portuguese worldwide said that: "I'm not well now, I'm not able to make the most of my potential here. The first six months at Barcelona were positive, then things changed and for me, it was like hell because I felt more pressure and because of that, I couldn't make the most of my potential."
