More now from Spanish journalist Alvaro Montero who has provided this update on Gareth Bale future at Real Madrid…
“The truth is that Zinedine Zidane doesn’t count on him. He wants him to leave. But the problem in the last weeks, when you ask Real Madrid people they realise, and they recognise that here haven’t been offers.
“We have to remember that two years ago there were some offers. Jose Mourinho wanted him to play at Manchester United. Everybody knows that they talked in the United States during the International Champions Challenge Cup, but right now today there are no offers in the Bernabeu stadium for Gareth Bale.
“So, it will be a huge problem if he starts pre-season with Real Madrid in Montreal in Canada and Gareth Bale continues on Real Madrid’s staff.”
