1) Florentino warns of angry Cristiano Ronaldo

The Great VAR experiment - also known as the Confederations Cup amongst some picky members of the media – is starting to reach the business end of the tournament on Wednesday with the start of the semifinal stages. The two sides squaring up are the Champions of Europe and South America – Portgual v Chile - both marshalled up front by footballers at the center of huge slices of transfer gossip cake this summer – Cristiano Ronaldo and Alexis Sanchez. Florentino Perez might well be hoping for a Portugal exit from the realm of the final four, as that is when the Real Madrid president has said that he will speak to his moaning megastar about the player’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu. Florentino was talking overnight to Spanish radio and admitted that the footballer was “angry.” “He is a man of integrity and has fulfilled with his duties,” claimed the Bernabeu bigwig over tax evasion allegations that have blighted the player’s summer. That an almost imperceptible tan line that simply won’t go away.

Perez also praised James Rodriguez, another footballer who is linked with a move away from the club, and revealed that formal negotiations with Manchester United have yet to begin over the sale of Alvaro Morata. "I have read that we have reached an agreement I do not know how many million times, but it isn't true," huffed El Presidente.

2) Dani Alves says ta-ta to Turin

TRANSFER TRACKER TIME! – Time to pull over at the side of the road or head to the cubicle, depending on how one consumes this daily dose of sporting protein. Dani Alves has confirmed that he is leaving Juventus after just a single season. Basically, by being rude to the Serie A side all summer. Unintentionally, apparently. “I just have a very spontaneous approach to life that few understand,” explained the Brazilian helpfully on Instagram in a farewell message. A Manchester City move is on the cards.

  More transfer business for Milan! Sunderland striker Fabio Borini is in the San Siro house for a medical on Thursday. A strike rate of 2 goals in 24 appearances last season appears to have got Milan’s attention. Betis midfielder, Dani Ceballos, has denied reports from Spain that he is set for a move to Real Madrid after starring in his country’s European U-21 campaign. And Anthony Martial has denied stories that he is unwanted at Manchester United, although Sports Burst has an inkling that the footballer will literally be the last person to be made of aware of a shipping order to Arsenal.  

3) Djokovic eases through in Wimbledon warm up

beIN SPORTS had a very special guest on the air on Wednesday morning – Mr Novak Djokovic. The Serbian former world number one was battling his way into form in Eastbourne ahead of Wimbledon next week and it was mission accomplished with a two-set win over Vasek Pospisil. The network is also the proud home of the WTA which is also in action in Eastbourne on England’s south coast which is playing a bit of catch-up after a heck of a lot of rain. Angelique Kerber and Simona Halep are the day’s highlights.

4) Lightning Bolt is back on beIN

Possibly the world’s most famous athlete, Usain Bolt – and fastest human ever – is back in action on Wednesday in what could be his farewell season the track. The Jamaican admits that a final decision has yet to be made on whether the sprinter will be calling it quits after the World Championships in London in August.

  Chances to see Lightning Bolt are few and far between, but one of them is on beIN SPORTS TODAY! Tune in from1:30PM ET / 10:30AM PT for the Golden Spike meet where Bolt will be zooming down the track at a 1000 miles an hour. Or something like that.   WHAT IS SPORTS BURST?
