Bengaluru, March 8: It's never easy for a player to settle at big clubs like Real Madrid, especially when that player is quite prone to frequent injuries. And that is the issue with Madrid's record transfer Gareth Bale. The Welshman has been an integral part of manager Zinedine Zidane's line-up but has been missing quite a lot and has been on the sidelines due to his long-term injuries every season. And though Zidane claims Bale to be a part of his long-term goals, reports have emerged that Madrid might juts consider selling their Welsh wizard.

Bale's entire career has been based on what his body would permit him to do. And now, it seems, Real Madrid have grown tired of the precarious nature of the 28-year-old's fitness, with reports suggesting that they have decided it is time to move on from someone they saw competing with and eventually overtaking Cristiano Ronaldo as the latter's form begins to dip.

The decision seems to come following a regular start and a string of decent performances from Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio. Folowing their 3-1 win over Leganes last month, Zidane heaped praise on the youngsters.

"I think they have always been important for me, I'm glad for Lucas because he deserves it," Zidane told a post-match news conference.

Bale was on the bench once again as Real faced PSG away in their round of 16 second leg. And Madrid looked their lethal best even without him as they cruised to a 2-1 win.

A number of Premier League clubs are looking to get the Welshman back to England, with Tottenham Hotspurs lining up a probable swap deal for Harry Kane, while Manchester United and Chelsea also interested.
