Zinedine Zidane said Gareth Bale has been "spectacular" for Real Madrid while confirming that the club are in talks with Tottenham over a transfer, before wishing him well in the next chapter of his career.
Bale is reportedly close to sealing a return to Spurs after seven years at Santiago Bernabeu, having been deemed surplus to requirements ahead of the new season.
The Wales international has won two La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns during his time with the Blancos, scoring 105 goals in 251 appearances, but his commitment to the club's cause has been questioned in recent seasons.
