Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Bayern could turn to Bale

German champions Bayern Munich could be ready to offer Gareth Bale a route out of Real Madrid following the collapse of their long-running pursuit of Manchester City's Leroy Sane. Bayern's plans were scuppered when Sane suffered a&nbsp;cruciate ligament injury last weekend, while Bale has been&nbsp;publicly cast aside by Real boss Zinedine Zidane. According to <a href="https://www.sport1.de" target="_blank">Sport1</a>, Bale's next destination could be the Bundesliga after a move to the Premier League was ruled out by the closing of the transfer window in England.

The Catalan club are interested in re-signing the Brazil international, who left Camp Nou for Paris two summers ago in a world-record deal. The Spanish paper said the Blaugrana were sanguine about the prospect of the forward going to another club, and are firm in their stance they will not pay one euro for his services.

Paris Saint-Germain&nbsp;manager Thomas Tuchel says he doesn’t know what the future holds for wantaway forward Neymar, but that he is trying to convince him to stay at the club. Neymar has been linked with a move away from the&nbsp;Ligue 1&nbsp;champions throughout the summer transfer window, with reports over the weekend suggesting that&nbsp;Real Madrid&nbsp;have moved ahead of rivals&nbsp;Barcelona&nbsp;in the race for his signature. He wasn’t in the squad as PSG hosted&nbsp;Nimes&nbsp;in their first league game of the season on Saturday evening, with Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani leading the line in his absence. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/maybe-no-news-is-good-news-psg-boss-tuchel-in-the-dark-over/148qg9m60ecrb1q8eaysl6x6ce">Read the full story right here on&nbsp;Goal!</a>

Frankfurt have already sold&nbsp;Sebastian Haller and Luka Jovic this summer but would also be willing to sell Rebic provided a club meets their €40 million (£37m/$45m) valuation of the Croatian forward.

With the French club thought to be open to his exit, Madrid are now reported to be ahead of Barcelona in the race for his signature.

Newcastle United chiefs have reiterated their stance that former manager and fan-favourite Rafa Benitez left the club "for the money" this summer.
