Jose Mourinho could make a move for Gareth Bale after it emerged the Welshman could leave Real Madrid this summer.
Manchester United have been put on alert on the possible availability of Gareth Bale after Real Madrid boss admitted he couldn’t guarantee the Welshman will be at the club next season.
Bale’s future at the Bernabeu is in doubt once again as the European champions try to complete a world record £160million deal for Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe.
It’s understood that Real boss Zidane may have to sacrifice Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema or Bale to make room for Mbappe — with the Welshman favourite to go.
Zidane was asked about the situation after Madrid’s 4-1 defeat by Manchester City in Los Angeles in the early hours of Thursday. He replied: “I hope the BBC (Bale, Benzema and Cristiano) stay for this season. I hope everyone remains. I want everyone who is here to stay, but anything can happen right up until August 31.”
Jose Mourinho has made no secret of his desire to sign a new wide player this summer and has targeted Inter Milan’s £48m-rated winger Ivan Perisic.
Mourinho fuelled speculation when United played Real in Santa Clara last weekend after he embraced Bale before the game and was overheard saying: “I can’t buy you because you don’t talk to me!”
