Following Zinedine Zidane's recent controversial remarks on superstar Gareth Bale, the Welshman's agent has responded to the Real Madrid manager with some harsh words.
In a recent interview, the 47-year-old Los Blancos boss admitted he hopes the former Tottenham Hotspur winger will leave Real soon.
Despite being linked with an exit for more than a year now, Bale's agent has often insisted his client is happy to see out his contract in sunny Madrid.

Jonathan Barnett has now once again hit out at the treatment Bale has had to put up with, calling Zidane's latest comments "a disgrace".
"If and when Gareth goes, it will be because it is in the best interest of Gareth and nothing to do with Zidane pushing," he told ESPN.
"He's still one of the best players in the world, one of the top five, and his future will continue at a great club.
"Zidane is a disgrace to speak like that about someone who has done so much for Real."
Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in the forward, while it has also been claimed he has huge offers from clubs in China.
