‘Real Madrid should loan Bale out’ – Transfer fee will be a ‘problem’, says former Blancos president

Real Madrid granting Gareth Bale a loan move this summer would be “the best thing for everyone”, says former Blancos president Ramon Calderon.

Having slipped down the pecking order under Zinedine Zidane, the 29-year-old is expected to leave the Spanish capital in search of regular game time and trust from a different manager.

A return to the Premier League is considered to be the most likely outcome, with a loan spell at former club Tottenham having already been speculated on.

Calderon believes such an agreement could be beneficial to all concerned, with Real likely to find it difficult finding a buyer willing to commit to a sizeable transfer fee and a lucrative contract.
