“I hope the BBC (Bale, Benzema and Cristiano) stay for this season. I hope everyone remains. I want everyone who is here to stay, but anything can happen right up until August 31,” Zidane said when asked after Madrid’s 4-1 defeat by Manchester City in Los Angeles on Thursday, July 27.

Real Madrid are preparing a world record bid for talented Monaco youngster and it is understood that Zidane may have to let go one of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Bale.

Bale is said understood to be the most likely player to be sold.
