Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is ‘willing to sell Gareth Bale in order to rope in the French sensation Kylian Mbappe.

The18-year old, who plays for Monaco, is currently the most sought-after star in world football with Real and Arsenal both submitting bids well in excess of £100million for him.

The Galacticos now know they may need to go even higher in order to land Mbappe.

According to Don Balon, club president Florentino Perez has told Zidane he will only sign off on the monster deal if they sell one of their “untouchables”.

Zidane is keen to offload Bale, with the former world-record signing never quite lived up to his potential in Spain.

Jose Mourinho's Man United have long been interested in bringing him back to the Premier League.

However, one bone of contention appears to be that Zizou and Perez don't quite see eye-to-eye on that front.
