    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    RCM Sport further reported that the duo shared a 'lively' conversation ahead of the Toulouse clash and that the meeting intended to settle the financial dispute between the player and the club before he officially signs for Real Madrid. There remains the issue of the bonuses that the 25-year-old is supposed to repay the French giants which is worth €80m (£68m).
