Former Real Madrid forward Predrag Mijatovic has urged the Spanish giants to move Gareth Bale on if the player wants to go, even if it means missing out on a transfer fee.
The Wales star moved to Spain from Tottenham in 2013 for a reported fee of €91million and has been a key player in the club s success ever since.
But Bale s future was the subject of much discussion during the previous transfer window, with the 30-year-old said to be keen on a move elsewhere.
The attacker s reported wage packet of £350,000 per week made it tough for clubs to do a deal, though, and Bale remained in Madrid, where he has made just seven starts in all competitions this season.
Zinedine Zidane’s squad sit sixth in La Liga having made an underwhelming start to the campaign, including picking up just one win from their opening three Champions League fixtures.
Madrid wanted to sell him over the summer but they couldn t find a solution, Mijatovic said while appearing on the show El Larguero on Cadena SER.
A decision needs to be made he has three years left on his contract and that complicates things.
In terms of numbers, I think Bale has already been profitable. If a player of this salary is not motivated, it is better to leave for free and take the salary off.
It may be worth it to transfer him, even if it is not the money you might think you would get for him. If it is better to let it go free than to keep it? Without any doubt, I believe.
