Loan mooted for Bale
Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon says sending Gareth Bale out on loan could be the best option for both player and club this summer.
The Spanish giants are reportedly keen to get the Wales international off their wage bill, but whether or not they'll get an acceptable transfer offer for Bale remains to be seen.
Manager Zinedine Zidane has made it clear he doesn't see a leading role for Bale in his team.
A loan deal could help the 29-year-old rediscover his best form, according to Calderon, and it would also put the winger in the shop window.
The player could recover his confidence on the field and Real Madrid could see his value rise.

"His situation here is very difficult," said Calderon. "It is clear Zidane has discarded him in his mind. He showed that last season by not having him in the starting line-up. It is very disappointing for a player like him.
"Also the problem is the transfer fee. Real Madrid want to get a lot of money for him but I find that difficult.
"Maybe the best thing for everyone would be a loan. The player could recover his confidence on the field and Real Madrid could see his value rise.
"He wasn't successful here for many reasons - injuries, also the handicap of the money. When he came we paid more than we did for Cristiano [Ronaldo].
"People thought he should be better than Cristiano but that is very difficult."
Real Madrid are 11/8 to win the La Liga crown back next season, with champions Barcelona 4/6 and Atletico Madrid trading at 20/1.
