Real Madrid have reportedly tabled an offer to Paris Saint-Germain which would see Gareth Bale included in a swap deal for Neymar.
Zinedine Zidane has made it clear throughout the summer that Bale, whose contract at the Bernabeu expires in 2022, did not figure in his plans for the 2019-20 season.
The Welshman, who suffered another frustrating injury-hit campaign last year, was on the verge of signing a £1m-a-week deal with Chinese side Jiangsu Suning, but the move fell through.
According to Marca, Los Blancos have approached PSG about a potential deal for Neymar and raised the prospect of including Bale or keeper Keylor Navas in the deal.
Neymar is desperate to leave the Parc des Princes, with reports claiming that the Brazilian is in a 'total war' with the PSG hierarchy.
Bale, on the other hand, is reportedly happy to remain in Madrid, where his family is settled, despite being viewed as surplus to requirements by Zidane.
