seems like the press have missed this one, because "negotiating his departure" sounds pretty clear that there is a second club involved.I'd take Zidane's words with a pinch of salt. Bale and his agent have reiterated several times that he doesn't want to leave and his agent has also ruled out a loan move. There are only a handful of clubs who can afford Bale, I'd be surprised if a transfer was this close without the press getting wind of it.
