Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in La Liga on Monday, February 15.
Monday morning's La Liga transfer talk news roundup:
Real Madrid to lose Sergio Ramos if Gareth Bale returns?
Real Madrid are reportedly facing the possibility of losing Sergio Ramos on a free transfer this summer in order to pay the remaining year of Gareth Bale's salary.
The Spanish club's finances have been hit hard by the coronavirus outbreak, and it is understood that club captain Ramos has rejected two separate offers from Los Blancos as he is not prepared to accept a pay cut.
According to AS, the financial issues caused by the ongoing pandemic mean that Zinedine Zidane's side cannot afford to meet Ramos's salary demands, and Bale's lucrative contract at the Bernabeu, which runs until June 2022, means that the club might not be able to retain their captain.
Bale is currently on loan with Tottenham Hotspur, but the Wales international has struggled to make his mark on his return to the Premier League and appears certain to head back to Madrid this summer.
The report notes that the 31-year-old and Ramos are the two highest earners at the Bernabeu in terms of wages, and the former is allegedly not prepared to accept a reduction to move elsewhere.
Ramos is allegedly being monitored by a number of clubs ahead of a potential free transfer.
Paris Saint-Germain 'attempted to sign Casemiro last summer'
Paris Saint-Germain reportedly approached Real Madrid last summer to determine whether it would be possible to sign Brazilian midfielder Casemiro.
The 28-year-old joined Madrid from Sao Paulo in 2013 and has developed into a key player for the Spanish champions, making 266 appearances in all competitions.
The midfielder has again been an important figure for Zinedine Zidane's side this term, contributing five goals and two assists in 26 outings.
According to Marca, PSG made an enquiry for the Brazil international during last summer's transfer window, but Madrid made it clear that he was not for sale at any price.
The report claims that Los Blancos, who are struggling financially due to the coronavirus pandemic, are also not prepared to listen to offers for the South American in the upcoming market.
Casemiro has a contract at the Bernabeu until June 2023.
