Real Madrid sets the price for Gareth Bale while Man Utd reflects on the summer swoop

Manchester United will have to shell out 113 million pounds if it wants to recruit Real Madrid star Gareth Bale this summer.

The Red Devils have been badociated with a swoop for the Welsh, who has gone through a difficult time in the Spanish capital.

The return of Zinedine Zidane as manager has increased rumors that a return to the Premier League could be on the horizon for the former winger Tottenham.

And according to the Spanish daily AS, the European giants have set a huge asking price before the redesign of their own team this summer.

It is claimed that the club wants at least 113 million pounds sterling for the player and hopes that one of the biggest European clubs will meet its requirements.

With Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Philippe Coutinho making huge gains in recent seasons, Madrid believes the price is right in the current market.

There is a caveat, however, that potential contenders will try to negotiate the price when the window opens this summer.

Bale's wage demands could be another hurdle: the former Tottenham superstar will earn nearly £ 26 million a year before taxes.

Although he has found the net 14 times in 38 games with Los Blancos this season, doubts have been expressed about the future of the 29-year-old in Madrid, as fans have been mocking the winger in recent weeks.

The real boss Zidane plans to sell the winger as part of a summer overhaul that is expected to reap 430 million pounds of talent ahead of the Spanish giants.

Madrid sports director Jose Angel Sanchez reportedly met Bale's agents on Monday to discuss the player's future.

Despite the details of the club's plans to sell Welsh international during the summer, it is understood that Bale will be allowed to choose the club in which he wishes to move.
