Bale latest

Real president Florentino Perez could also be planning to finance a move for Brazilian superstar Neymar, who has failed to settle at Paris Saint-Germain.

And it has given United some hope that they might be able to push through an unlikely deal for Bale before the winter transfer window closes at the end of this month.
