At the moment, newspaper claims Bale’s representatives will meet with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy this week, and if talks don’t advance then the 24-year-old could hand in a transfer request.
Madrid have publicly pursued Bale this summer and despite Spurs claiming time and again that their winger is not for sale, it appears the nine-time European champions are winning the race to sign him.
And Zidane is hopeful a deal can be wrapped up soon for the Welshman, who is also reportedly a target for Manchester United.
"We’re not going to give up on Bale", Zidane told Le 10 Sport. "It’s impossible to forget about a player of his quality.
"It’s only normal that Tottenham want him to sign a new contract but we’ve made it clear that he’s one of our main objectives."
Well, rumours suggested that Spurs is asking €98 million plus full-back Fabio Coentrao. And with the Portuguese defender valued at around €20 million, it would mean Los Blancos will have to pay as much as €120 million for Bale’s signature.
With Real Madrid willing to splash the cash again, the question is not so much of a "if" but more of a "when".
