Zidane: Bale exit is imminent
Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane expects Gareth Bale to leave the club in the very near future in what he believes will be a good move for both parties.
The 30-year-old Wales international forward was absent as Real lost a pre-season friendly against Bayern Munich 3-1 in Houston, Texas on Saturday, with Zidane explaining the reasons why after the defeat.
We hope he leaves soon, it would be best for everyone.

He said: "We hope he leaves soon, it would be best for everyone. We are working on his transfer to a new team.
"I have nothing personal against him, but there comes a time where things are done because they must be done.
"I have to make decisions, we have to change. The exit is the coach's decision and also of the player, who knows the situation.
"We'll have to see what happens in the coming days. The situation will change, I do not know if in 24 or 48 hours, but it will - and it's a good thing for everyone."
Bale joined Real from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2013 and has gone on to score 102 goals in 231 appearances for Los Blancos, helping the Spanish giants to La Liga and Copa del Rey success.
He also aided the drive to four Champions League triumphs, scoring once in the 4-1 victory over Atletico Madrid in 2014 and twice in the 3-1 win against Liverpool four years later.
Real, who have been crowned champions just once in the last seven years, are available at 11/8 to win La Liga this season, with Barcelona priced at 4/6 and Atletico Madrid 16/1.
