Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has said he is hoping Gareth Bale leaves the club in the current transfer window and has said he is "very close" to an exit.
Bale was left out of the Los Blancos squad for the 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the International Champions Cup on Saturday, despite being part of the travelling squad for the pre-season tour.
Afterwards, the Madrid manager was asked about why Bale wasn't selected and spoke candidly about his desire to see the Welshman depart, per BBC Sport.
"We hope he leaves soon," said the Frenchman.
