Report: Real Madrid demanding £80m for wantaway Gareth Bale

Real Madrid will cash in on wantaway forward Gareth Bale this summer if his £80m valuation is met, according to a report.

The 28-year-old has forced the Spanish club's hand somewhat by revealing after his Champions League final double against Liverpool that he is unhappy playing second fiddle to Karim Benzema and Isco.

Bale intends to hold talks with his agent over the summer before reevaluating his next career step, with Manchester United the current frontrunners to land his signature.

United's long-term target is now within reach, as The Express claims that Los Blancos are willing to sell in order to fund a move for Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar.

PSG could yet rival the Red Devils in making an offer for the Welshman, although Manchester City - another side previously said to be interested - are understood to have pulled out of the running.
