French Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint Germain (PSG) have informed Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid that they want to sign Gareth Bale before the end of this summer’s transfer window.
This is according to the publication from the stables of the Independent which revealed that PSG are ready to receive Real Madrid outcast Bale plus cash for star player Neymar.
Brazilian international Neymar is the most expensive player in world football at the moment after PSG activated the €222m (£200m) release clause in his then Barcelona contract two years ago.
Neymar has told PSG officials that he wants to leave the club this summer after growing frustrated with life in Paris.

The Brazilian international scored 51 goals in 58 appearances for PSG during an injury-hit time at the Parc des Princes.
