Gareth Bale has reportedly reached an agreement with Real Madrid to leave the Bernabeu next summer.

The Welsh flyer is high on Jose Mourinho's list of Man United transfer targets and, amid another season blighted by injury, it appears he could be one step closer to getting his man.

According to Diario Gol, Bale has already agreed terms with the club during a meeting between president Florentino Perez and the his agent Jonathan Barnett this week.

Should the forward leave the Spanish capital, a return to the Premier League seems set in stone, with both United and his former club Tottenham the front-runners to grab his signature.

Mauricio Pochettino opened the door to a sensational return to Spurs for Bale as he refused to rule out a move for the player next summer.

'Of course he's a fantastic player. I saw him in Madrid when we played there,' he said.

'He's always kept in contact with the people who worked here in the past.

'I don't have a close relationship with him or the people around him. But you never know what's going to happen in football.'

Perez hopes to regain most if not all of the then-world record £85million Los Blancos splashed out on the 28-year-old in 2013.

Bale has turned out just 10 times in all competitions and hasn't appeared since the end of September due to both calf and injury issues.

Price could prove a stumbling block given the Wales international's recent injury woes, but United would be able to bankroll a move even if it was seen to be something of a gamble.

Mourinho's desire to bolster his attacking options is evidenced by his protracted interest in Atletico Madrid winger Antoine Griezmann.

The Red Devils will be keenly monitoring Bale's situation throughout the course of the season.
