Bale could follow Ronaldo out of Real Madrid

Gareth Bale could follow Cristiano Ronaldo out of the Real Madrid exit
door, as his agent has told ESPN that the player still wants showdown
talks with new manager, Julen Lopetegui.

It was rumoured that Bale scrapped plans to meet with club chiefs
because of Ronaldo's move to Juventus and Lopetegui replacing Zinedine
Zidane.

AS claimed a planned meeting between his agent Jonathan Barnett and
the club's hierarchy had been cancelled, but ESPN has been told that
the report is "wrong" and that a meeting will still take place.

Barnett said that his client will "speak to the [new] coach
[Lopetegui] and we will go from there."

Bale faces competition from Isco, who knows Lopetegui well from his
time with Spain's national team, while Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio
were also named in La Roja's squad for this summer's World Cup.

Bale is under contract at the Bernabeu until the end of the 2021/2022 season.
