I hope Bale leaves as soon as possible: Zidane

That puts the futures of Isco, Asensio, Mariano and Gareth Bale in doubt as coach Zinedine Zidane remains keen to add a new central midfielder.

Marca's front cover on Tuesday suggested former club Tottenham were offering Bale "an exit" from the Bernabeu.

The French World Cup victor hinted at being unsettled at Manchester United last month, telling reporters he was interested in a new challenge three years after returning to Old Trafford from Juventus.

The ruthless jettisoning of a player who has won 13 titles at Real, including four Champions League titles - providing such spellbinding moments as his overhead kick against Liverpool in the final in 2018 - has been branded "disgraceful" by Bale's agent.

Jiangsu Suning and Beijing Guoan are reportedly interested in Bale.

Manchester United want at least €200m for Pogba and are looking at replacements, namely Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen or Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and AS believe that shows they are willing to do a deal.

Zinedine Zidane's latest comments regarding the future of Gareth Bale at Real Madrid could signal his return to Tottenham Hotspur.

He fell out of favour towards the end of last season and has been heavily linked with a switch to Inter as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer shakes up his United squad ahead of the new campaign.

Sources say Bale is willing to uproot to China even though such a move would raise questions about his desire to play top-level football for the rest of his career. "I've been a fan of the game for several years, and I know that Houston has a massive soccer fan base, so it was an easy decision for me when this opportunity arose". Although they consider their investment in the 30-year-old to have been recouped in his time in Spain, they are also acutely aware of the need to raise funds as they aim to strengthen their midfield options.

Bale has professed his committment to the team and desire to stay and fight for his place.

"He has done so much for the club and the fans at Madrid have treated him terribly".
