Real Madrid leave Bale's future in his hands

According to the newspaper 'AS', Real Madrid will not challenge Gareth Bale's departure. The Welshman seems to have fallen out with his current club, who aren't ready to renew a contract which was first signed in 2013.

On this matter, the media revealed that Jose Angel Sanchez, director general of the club, met last Monday with Jonathan Barnett and Luis Alonso, the Welsh striker's agents, to make their intention known -  to transfer him from 30th June.

As a reward for his commitment and loyalty to the entity, Real Madrid is willing to let Gareth Bale choose his destination, provided that the offers that arrive are suitable. A privilege not always enjoyed by footballers, prisoners of quarrels between clubs.

Manchester United and Bayern Munich leave as favourite suitors who could entertain a deal. It is important to remember that, according to 'The Sun', Jonathan Barnett has calculated the transfer to be worth 175 million euros, remembering that he currently earns 19 million per season at Madrid.

Numbers only available to teams with economic strength and need for starstudded names. Under this pretext, Manchester United and Bayern Munich stand out for their urgency for a star that can bolster their fortunes for the present and future seasons.

Old Trafford also sees Real Madrid's interest in Paul Pogba as an opportunity to negotiate the signing of Gareth Bale, who had been in Tottenham, before leaving London for the Santiago Bernabeu.
