Gareth Bale has accepted it is time to leave Real Madrid.

Diario Gol says Bale has reached an agreement with Real Madrid to leave the Bernabeu next summer.

The Wales captain is high on Jose Mourinho's list of Manchester United transfer targets and, amid another season blighted by injury, it appears he could be one step closer to getting his man.

It's claimed Bale has already agreed terms with the club during a meeting between president Florentino Perez and the his agent Jonathan Barnett this week.

Both United and his former club Tottenham the front-runners to grab his signature.

Last week, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino stated: "He's always kept in contact with the people who worked here in the past.

"I don't have a close relationship with him or the people around him. But you never know what's going to happen in football."
