Manchester United have told Gareth Bale he must push for a transfer away from Real Madrid if he wants to join them this summer.
Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda claims United have informed the 28-year-old they want him to formally tell Madrid he wants to leave and then go public with the news.
"Bale last year wanted to go, there was an offer from Manchester United and this year that proposal comes back to life, although they ask him to say publicly that he wants to go,” Inda said.
“If the offer of €140m comes, it would be a good sale.”
Spanish publication OKDiario claim United are willing to fork out €200m (£176m) to tempt Madrid into selling.
However, for now it seems Bale is yet to make his mind up on his future.
