Real Madrid are ready to encourage Manchester United to bid for Gareth Bale.

Real are prepared to hand United boss Jose Mourinho a transfer dilemma with their plans.

Don Balon says Real are prepared to sell Bale to sign Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann.

Atletico will reportedly be forced into selling Griezmann with the imminent arrival of striker Diego Costa from Chelsea.

United could be Bale's next club, with Mourinho openly discussing a move for the Welshman during the summer.

However, the Portuguese is maintaining a serious interest in Griezmann also.
