Mundo Deportivo is reporting that Real Madrid is now ready to let Gareth Bale leave the Bernabeu this summer for a fraction of the fee that was paid to sign him.
The Welshman left Tottenham for a world record fee of around 100 million euros in 2013. After winning every trophy in club football with Los Blancos, he is no longer considered an important member of the team by current manager, Zinedine Zidane.
The Frenchman has told Bale that he can leave and that he doesn’t feature in his plans, but there has been a shortage of takers due to Madrid’s insistence on getting a transfer fee and the player not willing to lower his wages.
This latest report from Spain indicates that Madrid now knows that they cannot get close to the amount that they paid to sign him and they are prepared to allow him to leave them for 25 million euros this summer.
Spurs have been linked with a move for Bale and Harry Redknapp even urged them to sign him because he will make them a top team again, but it remains unclear if Bale will lower his current wages of around £18.2 million per season (Wales Online).
