Zinedine Zidane opens for sale Gareth Bale with a potential exchange between Eden Hazard and the cards

SUMMER COURSES

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane reportedly intends to sell Gareth Bale – with an exchange deal involving Eden Hazard from Chelsea – a firm possibility.

Zidane returned to Bernabeu earlier this week, replacing Santiago Solari in the management position.

The Frenchman left Real last summer after club president Florentino Perez refused to reorganize his squad.

However, Perez has canceled his decision now that Zidane is back – promising him that he can spend big this summer.

Zidane will have a war chest of 300 million pounds to spend, with Hazard, the star of Chelsea, and Neymar, PSG at the top of his wish list.

And according to the Spanish football expert Guillem Balague, Zidane is ready to sell Bale to release even more funds – although the former Tottenham man has no plans to leave the club anytime soon .

He said, "So, to get the most out of Basel, Zidane will have to put an arm around her shoulders.

"But the first option will be to try to sell it.

"But it will not be easy because it earns about 12 million euros and Real Madrid will probably want to sell about 75 million euros.

"He will be 30 in July, so Manchester United could think twice before putting this money at the disposal of Real Madrid and Basel.

"If Chelsea had the opportunity to sign Bale, it would be an exchange with [Eden] Hazard and I'm waiting for it all to appear in the equation. But I feel that Bale does not want to leave.

"But he will also have to show that he is quite in love with the game to improve and challenge himself and reach the level we know he can be."

Real have already signed Porto defender Eder Militao, who will join the club when the transfer window is reopened this summer.

Bale was in the lineup as Zidane started his second reign as the real boss with a 2-0 win over Celta Vigo.
