The summer usually brings a lot of transfer rumors, which are sometimes really close to the truth but sometimes pretty far from it. For example, the future of Gareth Bale has been discussed for a long period of time and even though it’s still not completely clear, Zinedine Zidane gave the fans some idea of it. The club’s manager confirmed that Gareth Bale will soon be leaving Real Madrid. 

Zidane said that they were hoping he would leave soon and that it would be better for everyone, after which he added that they were working on the 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,” said Zidane.  

This stirred up things a bit provoking a reaction from Johnathan Barnett who is Bale’s agent. Barnett said that Zidane is a disgrace and that he shows no respect for a player who had done so much for the club.  

So far, it has been rumored that some of the interested clubs include Bayern and Manchester United, but this hasn’t been confirmed.
