Gareth Bale was spotted playing golf while Real Madrid were losing to Tottenham in a friendly match amidst transfer tensions between both.
Gareth Bale was set to leave for China, after he received a lucrative offer of £1 million-per-week salary from Jiangsu Suning, but was turned down by the sudden interference of Real Madrid President Florentino Perez.
It left the Welsh International furious, as he had already agreed a deal with the Chinese club but sudden demand of compensation by Real Madrid stalled the transfer.
Amidst all the dispute, the conflict seems to fuel even more, as the 30-year-old star was spotted by the Spanish outlet El Confidencial playing golf exactly when Real Madrid were losing to Spurs in a friendly match.
It was reported that Bale has left Real Madrid’s pre-season tour due to ill-health, after Zinedine Zidane made it clear during a press interaction before the interaction.
“He didn’t travel with us because he just didn’t feel well,” said Zidane. “The doctors said it would be better if he stayed in Madrid. He trains there. It was a decision that was made between the medical department, me and him. And that’s it.”
Real lost the game 1-0 to add to their pre-season woes, but it turns out that Bale might not have been so ‘unwell’ as Zidane made out. It is clear that Los Blancos manager doesn’t view Bale in his plans anymore.
Hence, the 30-year-old forward was ready to find other prospects, but sudden collapse of negotiations with the Chinese clubs left Bale reportedly fuming, as explanation was given to Bale, nor any kind of reassurances over his future at Real Madrid.
With Real Madrid about to start their new season, Bale’s uncertainty at the club hasn’t been solved yet.
