The Croatian is due to drop into the free agency pool this summer, and the Blancos cannot afford to offer him an improved deal amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Florian Neuhaus is the subject of interest from Borussia Dortmund - according to Kicker.

The Giallorossi first want to replace Spanish goalkeeper Pau Torres with Udinese's Juan Musso, whose current contract is not due to expire until 2023.

Raiola refuses to rule out Serie A return for Pogba
Mino Raiola has refused to rule out a potential return to Serie A for Paul Pogba, while claiming "people get nervous" when he talks about the Manchester United star.
Pogba's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent months, with it reported that Real Madrid and Juventus are both interested in signing the midfielder in the summer transfer window.
The 28-year-old, who re-joined United from Juve for £89 million ($123m) in 2016, has long been linked with a return to the Allianz Stadium, and Raiola has passed up the chance to silence those rumours once and for all.
