Real Madrid are offering Gareth Bale to Newcastle United.

Despite his impressive early form under new coach Carlo Ancelotti, Real's board remain eager to offload Bale, who is currently injured.

Sport says with Newcastle now under new ownership, Real spy an opportunity to offer the Wales captain to the Toon.

It's been suggested Bale has no interest in moving to Tyneside, but that hasn't stopped Real from offering him to Newcastle intermediaries.

Bale spent last season on-loan with Tottenham.
