Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti wants to tempt Angel di Maria back from Manchester United. United boss Louis van Gaal is a big admirer of the former Tottenham star, and is willing to offer the European champions £90m to secure his services.
Real manager Carlo Ancelotti ruled out selling the £86m man last Friday, and insisted he was still a vital part of his team.
But fresh reports have suggested that's no longer the case.
El Economista says Ancelotti is willing to offer Bale to United in order to try and lure Di Maria back to the Bernabeu.
The news of Real's willingness to offload Bale will be a huge boost to the Red Devils.
But they may halt their pursuit of the Welshman if they have to part company with Di Maria - who has three scored goals in eight appearances since his move to Old Trafford.
