There are still a few months left until the transfer window, but the biggest clubs like to get their business done early and then prepare calmly for the new season. However, this June might not be so quiet for Real Madrid, as media reports suggest that as many as six players could leave the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. The Royal Club has had a turbulent season under Xabi Alonso, and with the team four points behind FC Barcelona and already eliminated from the Copa del Rey, there are doubts about whether Alvaro Arbeloa will keep his job beyond the end of the season—although his optimism surely grew after the 3–0 win over Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League.

Bayern Munich would need to spend big to pull this deal off. As reported by the English “Daily Mail,” the Bundesliga giants have placed Nottingham Forest’s highly rated youngster Elliot Anderson on their radar.Recent reports suggest that Bayern are stepping up their interest, but securing the midfielder wouldn’t come cheap — a fee in the region of €80 million is being mentioned.
