'The Telegraph': Madrid willing to pay half of Bale's wages to get him to leave

After finally managing to get rid of James Rodríguez, Real Madrid's big target in the departure section is a Gareth Bale whose exit doesn't seem to come despite Zinedine Zidane's wishes.

The French manager has not been counting on the Cardiff native for months and has actively and passively urged the club to find him a destination and solve this problem once and for all.

However, the financial demands from the club and especially from Gareth Bale have always complicated his farewell from the Santiago Bernabéu and delayed this situation, so complicated for both parties, for two years.

For that reason, and with the prospect that the Welshman is still enrolled, Real Madrid are ready to take more than drastic new measures to finally get the footballer to become once and for all the past of Los Blancos.

According to reports published by 'The Telegraph', Madrid would be willing to pay half of Gareth Bale's current salary for the next two seasons if this would facilitate his exit from the club.

In that case, his farewell would be much closer, since his future club would be able to face with greater comfort the signing of the still Madrid number 11, who would thus see his desire to keep his salary level fulfilled.
