Here are your latest Cardiff City headlines for Sunday, June 19.
Bale and Ramsey 'really keen' on coaching
Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey are "really keen" on doing their coaching badges with the Football Association of Wales as they plan the next stages of their careers.
Both players have been linked with sensational moves to Cardiff this summer, with a decision over Bale likely to be made in the coming days and Ramsey now odds-on to re-join his former club if his contract is terminated by Juventus.
FAW technical director David Adams has now revealed that the pair have been offered places on the Welsh governing body's coaching course after this winter's World Cup campaign.

He told The Sun : "I was speaking to Gareth and Aaron away in Holland recently and they are really keen to do their coaching B and A licences in Wales - hopefully after the World Cup. I hope on the back of that we will be able to utilise their experiences to support our young players.
"I know Gareth and Aaron are extremely proud Welshmen and I am sure they will be knocking my door down to come and speak to the players to get them advice and support. To have those people inspiring the next generation of young players is a fantastic asset to the future development of our game in Wales. It's great for us.
"I won't bother them before the World Cup about the coaching courses and coming to help on the player pathway. But I'll be getting onto them straight away after."
Speaking about his path after playing, Bale said last week: "I always want to be involved in Welsh football because I love the environment. Even when I do finish I will always be around to help with advice for players or whatever."
Juventus 'give up hope' of Ramsey sale
Juventus have reportedly "given up hope" of selling Aaron Ramsey.
Reports in Italy claim Juve firmly believe they will not be able to recoup any cash on the Wales star, who still has one year left to run on his deal in Turin. Following a mixed loan stint with Rangers, Ramsey's career appears to be at a crossroads, while he is odds-on to return to Cardiff if his contract is ripped up.
However, Calciomercato now report that Juve are looking more and more likely to allow the player to run down his megabucks contract and leave on a free transfer. If that is the case, then Cardiff's hopes of signing him this summer would surely be over.
It is also being reported one potential stumbling block is a fee of €2.8million which would be due to the playmaker's agent owing to the player triggering a clause in his contract last year.
Burnley want Jed Wallace
New Burnley boss Vincent Kompany reportedly wants to sign Jed Wallace from Millwall this summer.
Wallace is one of the top Championship free agents available in this window, however the Lions have reportedly offered him a new deal, which is yet to be signed. Cardiff boss Steve Morison is a firm admirer of Wallace and revealed earlier this season that he would love to sign him for the Bluebirds.
"I would sign Jed Wallace in a heartbeat!" Morison told WalesOnline back in April. "But I’m sure Millwall don’t want to let him go. They will do everything they can to keep him. If he does leave as a free transfer in the summer, he is 27, top of the assists, Millwall’s best player - since I’ve left! I’m joking, well I’m not and he knows it.
"There won’t be a team in the Championship or, I presume, the lower end of the Premier League, who won’t want to take him. There will always be an offer on the table for Jed, it will just be a lot less than what he’d be offered elsewhere!
"It’s not a conversation we’ve ever had. We have many a conversation every now and then when he wants advice or a chat, but we haven’t spoken about him coming to Cardiff unfortunately."
Now The Sun claim that recently-relegated Burnley are eyeing a move for the winger to help them in their bid to shoot straight back up to the Premier League next season. West Brom are also said to be keen on signing him, too.
Bluebirds make double appointment
Cardiff City have bolstered their backroom staff ahead of pre-season with the appointments of goalkeeping coach Graham Stack and head of physical performance Patrick Wilson.
Steve Morison has started to put his stamp on the playing squad in this summer transfer window so far, having brought in eight players with as many as 10 out-of-contract players currently looking likely to head out of the exit door. There are still conversations ongoing with Joe Ralls as things stand, though, while Sean Morrison will remain with the club while he is nursed back to full fitness.
And now Morison has added to his backroom staff as he tries to bring a whole new look and feel to the club in a bid to better their hugely disappointing campaign last year.
Cardiff's search for both key positions have finally concluded, with Stack and Wilson set to assume their respective roles next week as pre-season kicks off in earnest at the club's Vale of Glamorgan HQ. You can read the full story here.
