Gareth Bale may be on his way out of the Bernabeu. He knows it, his agent knows it, and Real Madrid fans know it. The only thing left to do is to find out where the Welshman will play next season, but before he leaves, Bale has asked for one more "favor" from Zinedine Zidane.
The French boss has never been coy about his intentions regarding Bale, a player that has watched the last two Real Madrid games from the stands. With that in mind, and watching that his time at the Bernabeu is coming to an end, Bale has asked Zidane to let him say goodbye to the team's supporters at home, according to a report by Marca that even made the front page of the Spanish newspaper.
"Bale wants to bid farewell to the Bernabeu," states the headline on Marca's front page.
Bale's request could hit a wall if Zidane refuses to include him in the squad that will face Betis on Sunday, but it seems as his final request to make his departure easier. The Spanish newspaper claims that Bale will facilitate his exit from Real Madrid if he is given the chance to say goodbye to the Bernabeu crowd, especially after earlier reports stated that he was not willing to earn less money elsewhere, which sent potential suitors flying away.
Bale has been linked with moves to Manchester United, Tottenham and PSG, and with the final curtain set to fall, it will be up to Zidane to set up a smooth transition for the player. The only thing that remains to be seen is how the fickle Bernabeu crowd will respond to the Welshman's departure.
