Z. Zidane: "Bale" – close to departure

"Real" Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane explained why Gareth Bale was not included in the lineup after the match against Bayern Munich. Z. Zidane was particularly open and confirmed that the club is looking to part ways with G. Bale. "Bale was not registered for the match because we are working on his departure. It's nothing personal, I have nothing against the player. You have to make decisions when the time for changes comes. It will be the best for both him and the club," said Z. Zidane. "Let's hope that for the common good, this (Bale's departure) will happen in the near future. I really don't know if it will be announced in the next 24 or 42 hours, but changes in the lineup are already inevitable," added the coach. According to unofficial information, G. Bale's services are being sought by Tottenham and Bayern in London.
