Real Madrid 'would have to pay £60m to offload Gareth Bale'

Real Madrid's attempts to offload Gareth Bale are reportedly proving to be unsuccessful, leaving them needing to pay up his £60m contract if they are to get rid of him.

Real Madrid will reportedly have to pay off the remainder of Gareth Bale's two-year contract in order to offload the winger this summer.

The Spanish champions are desperate to get the high-earning 31-year-old off their books ahead of the new season, with manager Zinedine Zidane deeming him surplus to requirements.

However, a mixture of mammoth wages and a potential transfer fee is preventing any interested parties from making a move at the moment.

Recent reports have suggested that Madrid are willing to pay half of his wages if he was to leave on loan, or to slash his asking price to £22m - less than a quarter of the £89m they turned down for him last summer - if he leaves permanently.

However, the Daily Mail claims that neither suggestion will be enough to persuade Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur to move for the Wales international.

Madrid would reportedly need to rip up his contract and pay off the remainder of it in order to get rid of him this summer - something which would cost them £60m over the course of his £30m-a-year deal.

Los Blancos are unable to afford that and so are increasingly resigned to keeping Bale at the club for at least another season, despite his lack of football last term.
