Real Madrid chiefs decide right time to sell Bale

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and coach Zinedine Zidane have agreed to cut loose Gareth Bale this summer.

Sport says Zidane has already seen enough of the Wales international to convince him it's time to move the attacker on.

As such, both he and Florentino have now agreed to sell Bale at the end of the season.

Manchester United are interested in the winger, as are Bayern Munich.

Asked about Bale's situation, Zidane said over the weekend: "I will not talk about the next season.

"Gareth is an important player, we know his quality and nobody will take that away."
