SHOCKER! Real Madrid face €60M bill to pay off Bale

Real Madrid face paying out Gareth Bale's contract IN FULL if they want to offload the Welshman.

AS says Real coach Zinedine Zidane is keen to see Bale moved on this summer. The Frenchman dropped Bale from his squad for the final game of the season against Leganes.

However, with two years to run on his contract, Bale has no intentions of being forced out.

Earning €14.5m-a-year, it will mean Real paying out a staggering €60m net to clear Bale off their books in the coming weeks.

"Bale is delighted with the idea of continuing two more years in Madrid," said Jonathan Barnett, his agent, to AS. "He is happy in Spain. He and his family. It is a shame that Madrid is wasting the possibility of using him because he is a professional and continues to train well."
